Kevin Durant to the Suns happened overnight, and things took off from there in a wild NBA trade deadline. And Yahoo Sports tracked it all.

Three other players are on the move as a result of the trade, which also included the Grizzlies.
Former No. 1 pick John Wall is headed back to the Rockets as the focal point of a three-team swap less than an hour before Thursday’s NBA trade deadline, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Clippers are sending the veteran point guard back to his previous team. Wall played the 2020–21 season for Houston and sat out the following season while under contract to the Rockets as the team sought to trade him.

FORTY FOUR second rounds picks got dealt .
If you needed a better example of how second round picks in the NBA Draft are basically fake currency, the trade deadline had you covered. Every other deal contained second round picks, often multiple of them — heck, FIVE second round picks were dealt for Jae Crowder.
This isn’t some galaxy brain level team building tactic and more the NBA’s currency for “I dunno… give us something?” These picks are basically crypto.

The PAC-12 is reportedly not close to landing a new media deal.
Commissioner George Kliavkoff has vowed that the PAC-12 will remain relevant moving forward once USC and UCLA leave for the Big Ten in 2024.

There’s just one problem. Nobody seems interested in paying to air PAC-12 football games.

The San Francisco 49ers are arguably the most intriguing teams in all of the NFL given the situation they find themselves in. After back-to-back trips to the NFC Championship game, the question this offseason is the same as it was the previous offseason: who is going to play quarterback?
While the team has shown it has what it takes to make a deep postseason run with a cloud hovering over its quarterback room, it’s no secret that if San Francisco wants to win a Super Bowl it has to figure out the QB position.

The 49ers legend joined SI on Radio Row ahead of Super Bowl LVII.
Tom Brady has pulled out ahead in most “NFL GOAT” discussions, thanks to his late-career run of Super Bowl wins and incredible longevity. No one can tell 49ers legend Joe Montana that he doesn’t still lay claim to that title, however.
Joe Cool sat down with Sports Illustrated‘s Lacey Jane Brown on Radio Row at Super Bowl LVII ahead of Sunday’s game. They played a fun game where he picked between two great quarterbacks to win a game.

Wednesday’s college basketball game between Vermont and Maine was delayed due to a crooked court.
That’s not an exaggeration, the court was literally crooked.
Those on the scene posted photos of the baseline pieces being completely misaligned.

This sure is a new one. The Vermont/Maine game is in a delay to fix the court. As you can see the baseline is quite crooked. No start time as of now pic.twitter.com/0pfrRpHjzx
