We proposed 32 trades to shake up Round 1, including deals that involve Cousins and Parsons.

I mean, he’s not wrong.
Things have turned very, very bad in Memphis. It wasn’t long ago that the Grizzlies were riding high with a 38-16 record entering the All-Star break, and seemed to have all the trappings of a team that could contend in the West. Since then they’re gone 6-15, fired head coach Taylor Jenkins, and are coming under fire for potentially playing Ja Morant while injured.
Jaren Jackson Jr. is keeping it positive though. He’s just happy he’s got a roof over his head.

A.J. Dybantsa cleared Angel Reese with ease with this dunk.
There’s a case that the talent at the top of the 2025 boys McDonald’s All-American Game is the best in the history of the event, and BYU commit A.J. Dybantsa is a big reason why.
NBA scouts have been all-in on Dybantsa for years. At 6’9 with a 7’1 wingspan, the Boston native is an explosive athlete with a rare combination of speed and power at his size while also showcasing a sweet jumper.

The NFL has a new (but familiar) overtime rule.
Starting this fall, each team will get an opportunity to possess the ball in overtime during the regular season, just like in the playoffs. Under the old rule, regular season OT games would end if a touchdown was scored on the first possession.
Now, there will be a 10-minute OT period and each time will get an opportunity with the ball, even if the opening drive ends in a touchdown. Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton is in favor of the change.
“I like that,” Payton said at the NFL’s Annual League Meeting on Monday.

Most years, there’s a debate on who the top players are at each position group in the lead-up to the NFL Draft — that debate doesn’t exist with edge defenders this year.

Yahoo Sports’ latest mock draft has him going seventh to the New York Jets. Carter led the NCAA with 24 tackles for loss and chipped in 12 sacks for a College Football Playoff semifinal team.

Ace left-hander Garrett Crochet has agreed to a record-breaking $170 million, six-year contract with the Boston Red Sox, according to a person familiar with the negotiations.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on Monday night on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been announced. ESPN was the first to report on the agreement.
The contract kicks in next year, and Crochet can opt out after the 2030 season. It is the largest deal ever for a pitcher with four-plus years of major league service time.

PALM BEACH, Florida – Imagine Travis Hunter and Malik Nabers catching passes from Russell Wilson or Jameis Winston, then Hunter being a standout defender when he isn’t on offense.
It’s a vision that could become a reality for the New York Giants in 2025.
Hunter, the dynamic two-way football star who played cornerback and wide receiver at Colorado, could be the Giants’ choice with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft later this month.
Count Giants coach Brian Daboll as one of many NFL evaluators intrigued by Hunter’s potential.
