Donovan Mitchell could leave the Cleveland Cavaliers during the summer. The All-Star guard will be entering the final year of his contract. He has continually opted against verbally committing his future to the franchise. If the Cavaliers cannot agree on a contract extension with their star player, they will likely look to trade him rather than lose him for nothing in the 2025 offseason. According to Jason Lloyd of The Athletic, the Los Angeles Lakers are seen as front-runners for Mitchell's services should he be made available via trade. “If Mitchell doesn’t sign an extension with Cleveland this summer, the Cavs will have to...

The Los Angeles Lakers continue to search for a new head coach. They relieved Darvin Ham of his duties after a first-round exit at the hands of the Denver Nuggets. The current talent pool is slim when looking for experienced coaches, so Rob Pelinka and the front office have to cast a wide net. According to Shams Charania and Jovan Buha of The Athletic, three names have emerged as early front-runners. "As the Los Angeles Lakers begin contacting head coaching candidates and scheduling interviews this week, JJ Redick, James Borrego and Sam Cassell have emerged as the franchise’s initial leading targets, league...

Javier Baez, what would you say...you do here?That's the question Detroit Tigers owner Christopher Ilitch should be asking the man once known as "El Mago."Either that, or "where's my $25 million?"It was no secret that former general manager Al Avila strapped Detroit to a terrible contract when he signed Baez to a six-year, $140 million contract in 2021. Baez was once arguably the hottest player in the game who earned the nickname comparing him to a magician, but his first two years in Detroit were more trick than treat. Now that he's fully settled into his new digs, "El Mago"...

A year ago, it felt like the Green Bay Packers were heading into a bit of a rebuilding season for the first time in a while.The Packers had moved on from Aaron Rodgers as their longtime starting quarterback and replaced him with an unproven young passer in Jordan Love. Most assumed Green Bay was going to take a step back in 2023 with Love leading the offense.But then the actual games were played, and after only winning two of their first seven matchups, the Packers got things on track and finished the 2023 regular season with a 7-3 record in...

Game 6 between the New York Rangers and Carolina Hurricanes had everything. In the end, though, Chris Kreider's natural hat trick in the third period will be the only thing many will remember from what was arguably one of the wildest games of this year's Stanley Cup playoffs.

With NASCAR’s All-Star Race set to run on Sunday night at North Wilkesboro, several big names aren’t locked into the main event. To be locked into the race without having to run the All-Star Open, drivers need to have won a race in either 2024 or 2023 or be a past All-Star Race winner. This leaves drivers such as Bubba Wallace, Alex Bowman and Chase Briscoe with no choice but to race their way in through the Open on Sunday afternoon. Winning a stage in the All-Star Open guarantees a spot in the All-Star Race, so expect drivers to be on the...

It’s been nearly three years since Jeff Blashill was an NHL head coach, but his extended hiatus doesn’t seem to deter one team from possibly considering him for its head coach opening.According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, Blashill could be a leading candidate for the open head-coaching job with the San Jose Sharks — a team looking for a fresh voice after a league-worst 19-54-9 record in 2023 under former HC David Quinn.“I would like see Jeff Blashill get a second chance,” Friedman stated on his “32 Thoughts” podcast. “I would like to see what people learn after their first time...

Myron Charles is a big part of Florida State's plans for the 2025 recruiting trail. That's both literal and figurative, considering the fact that Charles checks in at 6-foot-4 and 295 pounds as just a rising senior in high school.Not only is he a big-time defensive line recruit, but since he hails from Port Charlotte, Florida, Charles is also an in-state recruit. For head coach Mike Norvell, these are the types of recruits FSU needs to land in order to stay a championship contender.The good news, for Florida State at least, is that heading into several scheduled official visits, the...

The New York Knicks are one win away from making it to the 2024 Eastern Conference Finals, where the Boston Celtics will be waiting for them should they get past the Indiana Pacers. The Knicks' deep playoff run is especially interesting, as the team has found success despite Julius Randle being out with injury. It has also navigated OG Anunoby's absence while continuing to find ways to win. Nevertheless, the Knicks won't be expected to overcome the Celtics if they can make the conference finals. Joe Mazzulla's team is widely viewed as having the most talented roster in the NBA. According to...
