The sports world was shaken by the news last week when Miriam Adelson and her trust sold $2 billion worth of shares in the Sands Corporation, a casino operator, to buy a professional sports team, which turned out to be the Dallas Mavericks . The deal values the Mavs at roughly $3.5 billion , making it the second-highest purchase price in league history behind only the Phoenix Suns’ $4 billion sale last year . The agreement is still subject to official NBA approval, and it remains unclear how much of an ownership stake Cuban will retain, as reports indicate he will hold control of the team’s basketball operations he has run since 2000.

The western diamondbacks, with their distinctive triangular-shaped heads, are found throughout the Southwest. And though their venom is far less toxic than other rattlesnake species, they still require care when being handled. Maki used tongs to pick up each ...

The Golden State Warriors are nearing the three-year mark of their James Wiseman project, and it's not going well. The 2020 second-overall pick is yet to earn a regular place in the rotation, let alone the starting lineup, and was relegated to the G League for a period earlier this season.  Hindsight is 20-20. We all know the players the Warriors could've taken in place of Wiseman, starting with LaMelo Ball, who went one pick later to the Hornets. Onyeka Okongwu would be a massive help to Golden State right now. Devin Vassell would be good for any team. Tyrese Haliburton is a franchise player. Tyrese Maxey. Desmond Bane. All of these guys and more are good to potentially great players in the league already.  It's not fair to talk about the players that went later in the draft. There are always surprises.
