The Golden State Warriors didn’t make too many waves last offseason while constructing what would be a championship roster, but Draymond Green was apparently gunning for a big splash. During an episode of his Draymond Green Show with Chicago Bulls star DeMar DeRozan, Green recounted how he tried to recruit his guest to the Warriors during free agency last summer. DeRozan was apparently not interested, though Green did not hesitate to point out that it all worked out for Golden State: “Last… Source link

Kyler Murray will remain with the Arizona Cardinals after all. Following an offseason of drama, the two sides reportedly came together on a massive $230.5 million contract extension Thursday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The team seemingly confirmed the extension on Twitter, though did not disclose the details of the contract.

This isn’t the TB12 method. Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette showed up to minicamp at nearly 260 pounds, according to the Tampa Bay Times’ Rick Stroud. That puts him around 30 pounds heavier than his listed playing weight of 228 pounds. Stroud reported the news on his podcast “Sports Day Tampa Bay.” “The last time we saw Leonard Fournette he was about a donut shy of 260,” Stroud said. “He certainly didn’t look like a guy who could play every down.” [Set, hut, hike!… Source link

There are times when Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss posting a message about how much she misses Kobe Bryant won’t raise many eyebrows. 11:11 p.m. PT on a Sunday night amid a high-stakes Lakers offseason isn’t one of them. Buss posted such a message late Sunday night, lamenting Bryant’s loss and extolling his “team over self” mindset: Why would Buss be missing Bryant’s counsel and selflessness at that exact moment? Well, it may be because that’s the kind of season (and year, really) the… Source link

López wants role in Sox good times after offseason overhaul originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago Reynaldo López used the phrase “arm action” so much Saturday that it seemed he was trying to sell a new karate-chopping action figure. But no, López is trying to do the same thing he’s been trying for years now: pitch consistently well as a member of the White Sox starting rotation. This might be his last chance, coming off back-to-back tough seasons and the White Sox officially out of… Source link

The world tugs at people who want to leave home. The potential caves in on us, coalescing into pressure: new hobbies, new jobs, better weather, new friends, a newer and better you. It tugged at LeBron James, at Kevin Durant, at Anthony Davis. It does not seem to tug at Giannis Antetokounmpo. He believes he can win without forming a superteam. He doesn’t work out with opponents or have many friends on other teams. He wants to be one of the lucky, patient, industrious players who found a… Source link
