The Golden State Warriors are in a bit of a money quandary this summer. They have four players who will all need new contracts soon – Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole – and would have to pay a ridiculous luxury tax if they kept most of them. Green, the boisterous big man who just claimed his fourth NBA Finals championship trophy with the Warriors since their dynasty began in 2014 is eligible for a new contract as soon August 3, and sources told The Athletic’s… Source link

The co-headliner, meanwhile, saw Max Holloway (23-7 MMA, 19-7 UFC) fall to 0-3 in his… Source link

SAN FRANCISCO — It took a moment for Jordan Poole to soak it all in, wearing the hat and T-shirt with confetti dropping from above at Chase Center as the Golden State Warriors clinched a trip to the NBA Finals. If it’s a feeling he wants to help duplicate, the punitive luxury tax penalties won’t be a deterrent for the Warriors to keep him.

Affirm founder and CEO Max Levchin has a few things flowing in his veins. One, an admirable work ethic that sees him pushing his own physical boundaries each day. Think working to near exhaustion (yes, for real, as the stories on Levchin are told). And two, financial services — which perhaps harkens back to Levchin arriving to the United States in 1991 from Ukraine as a teenager in search of the American Dream, with little money at first. “I came to the U.S. as a teenager, I had no credit… Source link
