Donovan is widely liked and respected in the NBA, both for his character and his qualities as a coach. He might not reach the elite caliber of coaches like Eric Spoelstra or Rick Carlisle, but Donovan is considered to be a solid tactician and indispensable locker-room leader who aids greatly in the development of young talent. A great statistic that backs up this reputation: The Bulls averaged the third-most points off ATO (after timeout) plays this season, ranking only behind the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers.

Zach Lowe shares a tanking solution idea that came up in the GMs meeting that intrigued a few General Managers: A proposal to not get rid of the draft entirely, but get rid of the draft order. Every team gets 100 draft credits let’s say. You bid your draft credits on every individual slot in the draft. You can also trade your draft credits like a veteran player for 40 draft credits if you want to go in a rebuilding direction. As teams advance in the playoffs, they lose draft credits so the best teams would have less to bid on individual picks.

The Herald-Tribune started rolling out its 2026 Winter All-Area team selections.
We honored the top boys soccer players from Manatee and Sarasota counties by naming First Team, Second Team, and Honorable Mentions lists.
We also named a Player of the Year from among the 24 First-Teamers in Lakewood Ranch High’s Louka Coue.
Now we will let you have your say. Do you agree with Coue being our pick for Player of the Year, or do you prefer a different First-Team selection? We have narrowed our list to a 15-player poll based on nominations submitted by coaches and our own research.

As the NFL draft begins to draw closer, rumors will continue to fly about where some of the best players in college football will land, including former Washington Huskies star wide receiver Denzel Boston.
Viewed as a consensus first-round pick around the league, Boston has mainly found himself in the back half of the first round, and on Tuesday, ESPN’s Peter Schrager placed him in a new landing spot in his first mock draft of the year: on the Philadelphia Eagles with the No. 23 overall pick.

The Jacksonville Jaguars’ decision to trade up for Travis Hunter in 2025 was a risk, albeit an understandable one at the time.

NEW DELHI: Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder Rovman Powell did not hold back after his side’s heartbreaking last-ball defeat to Lucknow Super Giants, pointing to an umpiring “blunder” while also admitting that conditions at Eden Gardens played their part in the result.
Defending 181/4, KKR seemed in control when LSG slumped to 128/7 after 16 overs. But a sensational late onslaught from Mukul Choudhary, who smashed an unbeaten 54 off 27 balls, turned the game on its head as LSG sealed a three-wicket win on the final delivery.

“The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.” — Robert Burns
Often the best judge of a general manager’s character is not what happens when things go according to plan, but what happens when those plans go sideways. In some sense, fans will want to hold Dana Brown accountable for not having contingency plans for some of these injuries and poor play, but some of that is not reasonable. The question is what happens from here.
I often wish I could be a fly on the wall when general managers and other executives talk. Dana Brown could be forgiven for feeling some desperation.
