Kurtenbach: The Warriors trading James Wiseman was the right call then. It looks even smarter today

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:16:02 GMT

As the Warriors were hammered in the paint by the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday, it was easy to think, “This team needs a 7-footer.”One logical step from that was remembering that the Warriors drafted a 7-foot center with the No. 2 overall pick in the NBA Draft not long ago.But last spring, the Warriors traded away James Wiseman, who landed with the Pistons. On Monday night, the Warriors will play in Detroit.They’ll head to the Motor City looking like geniuses for making that deal.Do the Warriors have a size problem? Absolutely.But as they discovered firsthand, Wiseman was not a solution to that issue.And while the center is only 22 years old, things have not improved in Detroit.Now and again, there is a flash of that talent that pushed him to the top of the draft, but on the whole, Wiseman is fighting for his NBA life.The Warriors, meanwhile, received Gary Payton II in the Wiseman trade. With the guard fully healthy entering this season, the Warriors lack any regr...

What Michael Conforto opting in means for SF Giants

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:16:02 GMT

In the fourth inning of an otherwise mundane game at the end of July, Michael Conforto stepped into the batter’s box for the 350th time last season, earning him the right to opt out of his contract after the season. Decision day came Monday, and Conforto will be sticking around.Of the three Giants with player options or out-out clauses, Conforto will join Ross Stripling in returning for 2024. He will make $18 million in the second year of the two-year deal he signed last offseason, while Sean Manaea, the third in that group, will head back to the free-agent market.All three players bet on themselves, but only the only one who performed well enough for it to pay off was Manaea, who is likely in line for a multiyear contract. The other half of the deal is the risk taken on by the Giants, who are now on the hook for $30.5 million in salary next season for players who aren’t necessarily part of their long-term plans.Conforto, 30, hoped to show teams that he was back to full ...

Efforts to bump Trump off the 2024 ballot raise fears of election chaos

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:16:02 GMT

Zoe Tillman | Bloomberg News (TNS)Minutes into a hearing on whether Donald Trump is constitutionally barred from being president again, Minnesota Supreme Court Chief Justice Natalie Hudson jumped in with her biggest concern: There could be “chaos” if some states keep Trump off 2024 ballots while others allow him on.“Should we do it,” she asked, “even if we could do it?”It’s a question looming over the growing number of lawsuits seeking to disqualify Trump from another term in the White House because of his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. What began as a largely academic exercise a few years ago over a constitutional ban on “insurrectionists” holding office collided with reality last week as judges in Minnesota and Colorado for the first time heard evidence and arguments.Lawyers and judges involved in these cases have signaled they believe it’s ultimately a fight for the U.S. Supreme Court to resolve.
