Good earlymorning, Winners! I hope you’re well today. Thanks so much for reading the Morning Win. We’re midway through another week and it’s nearly All-Star weekend! Fun! There’s constantly something on the sports calendar.
Speaking of constantly something and the NBA, can you think that the Warriors attempted to trade for LeBron James? I imply, what in the world?
My associate Charles Curtis has more information and response here. To make a long story brief, the Warriors called the Lakers about LeBron James after he did all of that virtual huffing and puffing.
The Warriors saw the discord and selected to make a call, ESPN reports. Draymond Green was prepared to drive the bus down to LA with Jonathan Kuminga and the requisite wage to get it done, however Rich Paul shut it down. And now, folks, we understand why we got that unusual declaration about James not askingfor a trade.
None of this truly matters. It’s going to provide ESPN some great post-Super Bowl sections and be a great “What if?” situation we’ll talk about for the next coupleof months. In the end, this is a entire lot of absolutelynothing.
And thank goodness it is. Because, well, can you thinkof LeBron James on the Warriors? Teamed up with Steph Curry? Nah, guy. That’s nasty work.
After all the fights those 2 have had? After all the garbage fans on both sides have talked? Nah, guy. It can’t be that. For those 2 sides to be unified would be like Newman and Seinfeld endingupbeing roomies. Some of you are mostlikely too young to get that recommendation.
Like, yes, there’s shared regard there now. I’d even go as far as calling it a relationship. But colleagues? That’s a bridge too far, male. People currently believe the NBA is too friendly. This would be the supreme “too friendly” relationship.
In the end, it’s not occurring. So there’s absolutelynothing here to truly concern abo…wait. WAIT A MINUTE. YOU SAY LEBRON IS A FREE AGENT THIS SUMMER? AND THE WARRIORS HAVE LOTS OF SALARIES TO TRADE?!? WAIT … HOLD ON! PLEASE.
NOOOOOOOOOO. *transmission ends*

As the days go by we’re beginning to findout more and more what this brand-new 12-team College Football Playoff is going to appearance like and where it’s going to be.
ESPN simply concurred to a six-year, $7.8 billion offer (yes! with a B!) to broadcast the College Football Playoff through the 2031-32 season, The Athletic reports. ESPN will pay around $1.3 billion everyyear for those rights.
That’s…really expensive. You might purchase quite much every NFL group exterior of the Dallas Cowboys with that much cash.
Hey, NCAA, please pay the gamers.
The other pushing matter with the brand-new CFP is the format. A proposed 5+7 format including the 5 highest-ranked conference champs and the next 7 highest-ranked at-large groups is anticipated to be voted on by the CFP’s board of supervisors on February 20, ESPN’s Heather Dinich reports.
The choice has to be consentaneous, . And the Pac-12 is holding things up. Here’s why:
