Shortly after reports surfaced that the Wizards and Suns were close to finalizing a deal that will send Bradley Beal to Phoenix and Chris Paul to Washington, it appears that Paul might not stick around in the nation’s capital for long.
According to Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes, the Wizards are expected to send Paul elsewhere in a subsequent trade, with the Clippers mentioned as a possible landing spot for the 12-time All-Star. A return to Los Angeles would reunite Paul with the franchise where he spent six seasons and helped guide the team to the playoffs each year.

Talk about terrible timing. As part of a Father’s Day celebration at Truist Park on Sunday, the Atlanta Braves planned to have infielder Charlie Culberson’s dad throw out the ceremonial first pitch.
One problem: the team designated Culberson for assignment on Sunday morning. Thus, with Culberson now off the roster, the team pulled his dad off the schedule. The team replaced the elder Culberson with Michael Harris’ father.

Charlie Culberson’s dad was scheduled to throw today’s first pitch. Michael Harris II’s dad will now take this honor on Father’s Day.

Timing aside, the fundamentals for this job are strong.

Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal is headed to the Phoenix Suns … a team so loaded on offense and so underwhelming in the postseason, it’s almost comical.
Coincidentally, Beal’s agent — Mark Bartelstein — is the father of Suns CEO Josh Bartelstein (Happy Father’s Day, indeed).

Bradley Beal’s agent being the father of the Suns CEO – this feels like something the Lannisters would do.

It finally happened.
After years of speculation and 695 games with the Wizards—third-most in franchise history—Washington reportedly traded guard Bradley Beal to the Suns Sunday afternoon.
Per reports, the Wizards netted guards Chris Paul and Landry Shamet in the trade, along with an assortment of draft capital.
It was an unceremonious end to Beal’s tenure with Washington, a team that hasn’t won 50 games since 1979. Meanwhile, Phoenix put yet another veteran star around guard Devin Booker mere months after acquiring forward Kevin Durant from the Nets.

When Jordan Love takes the field for the season opener against the Bears, it will represent an official changing of the guard for the Packers as Love replaces Aaron Rodgers as franchise quarterback. But while his effectiveness on the field remains to be seen, the new face of the franchise took a page out of Rodgers’ book with a perfect bit of trash talk toward Green Bay’s division rivals on Sunday.
To commemorate Father’s Day, Love offered a simple message for the Bears fan base, taking up a cause that Rodgers always held in high esteem with some holiday-inspired trash talk.
