The Sacramento Kings are finalizing a trade to send De'Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs and acquire Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine as part of a three-team trade involving multiple players and draft picks, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania on Sunday.
Kings got a lot of picks for De'Aaron Fox and Kevin Huerter. I don't think they can turn around and trade Zach Lavine again for more picks in the next few days. I think they have to wait until the summer.
Either the Mavs know something and are getting rid of him for almost nothing, or I'm thinking he isn't serious about conditioning and never wants to address it.
Even if they just wanted to get away from Luka because they think he won't age well, it's insane to only offer him to one team and basically take the first deal they got. They surely could have gotten more for a player with his resume.
You also can't discount the possibility that his agent(s) might be real pains to deal with. But I think physical conditioning and/or injury severity is a much more likely explanation.
It would be a PR disaster if the NFL did anything.
Same idea applies to players accused of misconduct (Justin Tucker) or assault and domestic violence (Ray Rice). You only discipline as little as needed to allow the controversy to pass.
It will allow Pete Carroll to focus on fiddling with the defense, while Chip tries to come up with an offense.
Don't know how well this will work against Andy Reid and the Chiefs, but it sure looks like the Raiders are readying to make a run thru the Pac-12.
Probably a good thing for Cal fans that the Bears don't have the Raiders on their non-conference schedule this fall, even given that's the level the Raiders operated at the past couple of years.
Chip really does not want to be a head coach. He had his shots with the Eagles, 49ers, and the bRuins. Three is the charm. It remains to be seen if he can replicate his success as an OC in the collegiate ranks in the NFL.
RALIEGH - The No. 8 California women's gymnastics team defeated No. 21 NC State 197.175-196.550 in its inaugural ACC road meet Sunday at James T. Valvano Arena in Reynolds Coliseum.
Despite the host Wolfpack (2-5, 1-1) earning its highest team score of the season, the Golden Bears (8-2, 2-0) put together a top-to-bottom solid performance to hit their second-highest team score of the year and take down the reigning ACC champions.
LOS ANGELES – The California men's tennis team completed its first season sweep of USC and UCLA in Los Angeles in modern history when the Golden Bears defeated the Trojans 4-3 on Sunday at Marks Tennis Stadium. Timofey Stepanov clinched the victory over the Trojans in three sets over Volodymyr Iakubenko to wrap up a triumphant weekend that began with a 4-2 win over the 25th-ranked Bruins on Saturday.
PALOS VERDES – Playing its first round of the new year Sunday at Palos Verdes Golf Club, the California women's golf team got out to a strong start to its 2025 spring slate, securing a 1-over-par 285 team score led by senior Kaylyn Noh's 5-under 66.
Competing in an 16-team field that includes six of the nation's top-8 ranked teams, the Golden Bears ended the day in fifth place and just three strokes out of first place. Noh ended the day in a two-way tie for first place individually, becoming the first golfer in program history to record three rounds of 67 or lower as a Bear.
STANFORD – The California men's gymnastics team met Stanford for the third time Sunday, traveling to Burnham Pavilion for a matinee Big Flip showdown and debuting two men – sophomore Harry Kim and freshman Sam Cirlincione – in its lineups. Although the Golden Bears out-scored Stanford on floor, vault and parallel bars (with the latter two also acting as season-best totals), the Cardinal reigned supreme at the end of the day with a score of 316.250 to Cal's 309.150.
LOS ANGELES – The 18th-ranked California women's tennis team got singles wins from Jessica Alsola and Greta Greco Lucchina on Sunday at the Los Angeles Tennis Center, but the Golden Bears ultimately lost to sixth-ranked UCLA 4-2.
BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) Marta Suarez and Ioanna Krimili each scored 16 points, Lulu Twidale added 15 points and No. 19 California routed Pittsburgh 84-53 on Sunday. The 84 points scored and 31-point win margin were both season highs in ACC play for the Golden Bears.
BERKELEY (AP) – Lucas Taylor scored 19 points, J.J. Starling added 18 points, and Syracuse beat California 75-66 on Saturday night.
Syracuse (10-12, 4-7 ACC) snapped a three-game losing streak.
Jeremiah Wilkinson and Jovan Blacksher Jr. scored 20 points apiece for Cal (11-11, 4-7), which lost its second straight contest following a three-game win streak. Rytis Petraitis added 13 points and eight rebounds.
BERKELEY – Seven different players registered tries and the California rugby team recorded its third consecutive shutout in a 46-0 victory over visiting Arizona at rain-drenched Witter Rugby Field on Saturday afternoon.
Cade Crist scored a pair of tries while Solomon Wiliams, Rand Santos, Max Threlkeld, Ieremia Ieremia, Jack Byszio and Joe Kirsten each also got on the scoreboard as the Golden Bears moved to 4-0 in the XVs season.
LOS ANGELES – The California men's tennis team posted its biggest win of the dual-match season in a 4-2 victory over 25th-ranked UCLA on Saturday at the Los Angeles Tennis Center. Fourth-ranked Carl Emil Overbeck clinched the win with a three-setter at court-one singles to keep the Golden Bears unbeaten at 5-0.
STANFORD – The No. 8 California women's swimming & diving team posted some of the nation's top times this season in a 180-119 dual meet loss at No. 3 Stanford that closed out the regular season.
Graduate student Maya Geringer continued to establish herself as one of the program's top distance freestylers in history in the short time she has been in Berkeley, shaving over seven seconds off her previous best time in the 1,000-yard freestyle for a 9:31.13. That is the second-best mark ever in the event at Cal and the fifth-fastest in the nation this season. Geringer also already has posted the program's second-best time ever in the 1,650 free earlier this season (15:53.92).
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. and SEATTLE – The California track & field team finished its third weekend of competition in fine fashion, combining for five program top-10 times Saturday at the New Mexico Team Open and the UW Invitational.

I am sure that this is 0% about Fentanyl and 100% about brown people. Fentanyl is so small that it can be easily transported by mail since an industrial amount is still a tiny quantity.
Canada is strictly diversionary. So is the demand for Mexican troops to the border.
My personal feeling is that the real action is with the payment systems and the attempts to force the defunding of appropriations already signed into legislation. The action of the Treasury Secretary to allow access by non-government employees to the payments and disbursements system should be an immense red flag to everyone in the United States.
I don't trust these clowns at all and neither should you. When you grant access by non-governmental employees to disbursements systems, you are giving the keys to the treasury to thieves.
Had to get an explanation out to the team first thing this morning that the "department - all" email with guidance to "stop stopping payments," as it were, had no immediate impact on us, so that people didn't think we were about to all get locked out (metaphorically speaking)
People have to understand that constant chaos and endless upheaval is Trump's management style, regardless of the issue, or whether you are in favor or against his position and agenda on any given issue, which is completely separate.
It puts everyone off balance and on their heels, because there is no warning, or ability to evaluate any initiative, or plan for it and its effects, before the next distraction, which gives Trump the "advantage" of walking away for the ones that blow up, and initiating whatever the next idea is.
This is not a unique approach, there are others that employ this as well, but it is unsettling when dealing with big picture issues and institutions, where the stakes tend to call for a measured and planned approach, whichever side of the issue you land on.
This is more disturbing than even the worst of his ideas, because of the potential for disaster from ideas not thought through, even when the premise of the action is actually good.
My trans daughter - who is an adult - was notified that gender-affirming services are no longer available. As a reminder, Trump announced outlawing gender-affirming service to minors -but my daughter is an adult. And these type of services are not available anywhere but Planned Parenthood. This is in NYC - not Lawrence KS. I am not sure what happened, but I have no doubt that that Orange Fuck is behind this. She is still under my insurance - so now we have to be medical refugees and have to go to Canada for services as a backup if Planned Parenthood falls through. I have resources, so this is an inconvenience - but this is going to be a very long 4 years.
I feel your pain. 😔. I’m terrified for my six-year old grandchild who informed us a couple of years ago that he is not a girl, he’s a boy. His parents are fully supportive, they live in a blue state, they regularly consult with medical professionals to assess and document his emotional condition and that he arrived at this decision without coercion or “brainwashing”. Looking to Canada.
Is she 19? Trump's EO re outlawing gender affirming services was for the 19 and under cohort. Many think the 19 was included so they can litigate to see if they can also ban it for adults. This is definitely a different presidential term, with 4 years of hard and actually critical thought given by many on the far right how exactly to best press these issues. (though OPB should have given a little more thought and review to that piss poor drafting of the funding freeze memo-- though maybe that was purposefully set up as a test as well...
I'm really sorry to hear it. We had dinner with friends on Saturday whose trans son has been stockpiling hormones - they thought he was overreacting when he started, but turns out his threat perception was correct.
My younger daughter has a very close friend who's in the same boat as your daughter, she's already in Canada because her father moved there a couple of years ago. Shit's bad man.
Binged The Recruit on Fri and Sat. (16/19 - Netflix). The Recuit season 2 was pretty good. Only 6 episodes though so I think they reduced the number of episodes. Not sure why they did that since Night Agent got 10 or 12 episodes. The story wasn't bad but I did have to suspend disbelief on all the travel he did and the amount of time it supposedly took.
This is odd and the sad state of the NIL world. Matt Rhule cancels Nebraska Spring Game to prevent players from getting too much exposure to limit the amount of tampering the big programs do.
I didn't anticipate that kind of reaction to NIL, but it really doesn't surprise me. Y'all may think I'm going overboard here, but there will be shakeouts in college football. FBS will contract significantly within the next 5 years.
...aaaaand how many of the 130+ schools in FBS (which includes mid majors) will survive to remain FBS programs? It's trending towards the Power 4 schools, not the mid majors. And even within the Power 4 conferences some of those programs could get shoved off the edge of the table.

At least the Super Bowl guacamole is safe.
Yes. More time for the Senate to set up Guac and Chip crisis hearings.
i am guessing that this is what the threat of tariffs was about. in the case of Canada it is not clear ..
Canada is strictly diversionary. So is the demand for Mexican troops to the border.

People have to understand that constant chaos and endless upheaval is Trump's management style, regardless of the issue, or whether you are in favor or against his position and agenda on any given issue, which is completely separate.
It puts everyone off balance and on their heels, because there is no warning, or ability to evaluate any initiative, or plan for it and its effects, before the next distraction, which gives Trump the "advantage" of walking away for the ones that blow up, and initiating whatever the next idea is.
This is not a unique approach, there are others that employ this as well, but it is unsettling when dealing with big picture issues and institutions, where the stakes tend to call for a measured and planned approach, whichever side of the issue you land on.
