The NBA Draft is hours away and the league is buzzing after a blockbuster that nobody saw coming. Giannis Antetokounmpo is heading to Miami, and according to NBC Sports, Cleveland Cavaliers owner Jimmy Haslam was reportedly a driving force behind making that deal happen. The ripple effects are massive, and the front offices are still adjusting.
Speaking of the draft, all eyes are on AJ Dybantsa heading to the Washington Wizards with the top pick, but the more intriguing question might be what happens to Braden Smith out of Purdue. The NCAA record holder has turned heads all season, and while not every college standout translates to the next level, Sporting News says Smith has a legitimate shot at hearing his name called Friday night.
Shifting gears across the Atlantic, Manchester United and Tottenham are both circling a Netherlands forward who could be on the move within weeks. The Premier League giants are positioning themselves aggressively in what is shaping up to be one of the more competitive summer windows European football has seen in years. The price tag alone will be worth watching.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
