Mark Cuban Explains Risky Kyrie Irving Trade That Paid Off for Dallas

Kyrie Irving (Dallas Mavericks)
September 2025

Former Mavericks owner Mark Cuban reflected on his decision to trade for Kyrie Irving in 2023, admitting players—not executives—convinced him. Irving’s talent was doubted due to past controversies, but Cuban trusted locker room voices, a gamble that ultimately reshaped Dallas’ fortunes.
Cuban said every player he consulted “loved Kyrie,” despite his toxic reputation in Boston and Brooklyn. Irving proved pivotal, thriving alongside Luka Doncic before the latter’s departure. His All-Star play silenced critics, stabilizing Dallas’ locker room and justifying Cuban’s faith as one of his last big moves.

Knicks Face Contract Call on Mitchell Robinson Amid Extension Talks

Mitchell Robinson (New York Knicks)
September 2025

Knicks big man Mitchell Robinson is eligible for a veteran extension as his four-year, $60m contract enters its final season. Despite injuries limiting his minutes, his dominant postseason defense elevated his value as New York eyes its championship window.
Robinson missed much of last year but proved decisive in the playoffs, shoring up defense while Karl-Anthony Towns handled scoring. Knicks insider James L. Edwards III claims Robinson is “an All-Defense candidate” worth keeping, with the front office weighing long-term security despite durability concerns.

Miami Heat Eye Exit Strategy for Struggling Guard Terry Rozier

Terry Rozier (Miami Heat)
Ahead of the 2025–26 NBA season

Miami Heat are actively trying to move Rozier, but trade interest is minimal due to his $26.6m salary in the final year of his contract. A buyout is under consideration if no deal materialises, though no agreement is imminent.
Rozier endured a poor 2024–25 season, averaging 10.6 points — his lowest since 2019 — while shooting just 39.1% from the field and 29.5% from deep. Once a reliable scorer, his decline has prompted Miami to clear roster space for new signings after trading away Jimmy Butler.

Bogdan Bogdanovic (Los Angeles Clippers)
Friday, EuroBasket group stage vs. Portugal

Serbia’s second-most important star behind Nikola Jokic suffered a worrying injury late in the first half against Portugal, leaving for the locker room and not returning. His absence raises major concerns for Serbia’s title hopes.
Bogdanovic had scored seven early points before limping off after a collision, shaking Serbia’s otherwise stacked roster. With Jokic, Jovic, Topic, and Vukcevic headlining, Serbia still boasts depth, but Bogdanovic’s two-way play and leadership make his health crucial moving into the knockout rounds.

Tottenham are eyeing Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho as a possible replacement for Son Heung-Min. The 25-year-old, out of favour under Ruben Amorim, has interest from Roma but Spurs could rival them with a £25m offer before the deadline.
United signed Sancho from Borussia Dortmund for €85m in 2021 but his value has plummeted. Spurs, reeling from injuries to James Maddison and transfer setbacks, may move quickly to secure him. His contract includes an option year, allowing United to protect market value.

August 2025

Chelsea are set to sign Brighton midfielder Facundo Buonanotte on loan after his Leeds move collapsed. The Argentina international, 20, impressed with six goals and three assists at Leicester last season and will join Alejandro Garnacho once his £40m transfer from United is finalised.
The Blues turned to Buonanotte after completing outgoings to balance UEFA sanctions and moved quickly to secure him. With Garnacho close to arriving from United, Chelsea are reshaping their attack under Enzo Maresca with youth talent from Argentina forming the backbone of their rebuild.

The Netherlands international, a product of Barcelona and PSG’s academies, was convinced by manager Thomas Frank after holding talks in London. Spurs fended off Chelsea’s interest and landed a marquee playmaker, strengthening their squad after several failed pursuits earlier in the window.

Antony Nears Permanent Exit as United Accept Betis Offer

Antony (Real Betis)
August 2025

Manchester United have accepted a £25m offer from Real Betis for winger Antony, including a 50% sell-on clause. The Brazilian, omitted from United’s squad this summer, is close to ending his torrid three-year spell at Old Trafford.
Antony impressed at Betis last season on loan, scoring nine goals in 26 games, prompting the La Liga club’s push for a permanent deal. United, eager to offload surplus players, await personal terms agreement to complete one of their biggest departures of the window.
