In order for the Raiders' defense to make a big jump in 2019, they will need multiple defenders, especially on the defensive line, to have career years. One of those players that needs to be former third-round pick Eddie Vanderdoes. After missing the entire 2018 season with a knee injury, Vanderdoes was finally healthy entering training camp. But after just two practices, it looks like the team will have to wait on him once again. According to Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal , Vanderdoes suffered a concussion during Sunday's practice and is expected to miss the team's first padded practice on Monday. The Raiders will practice Monday in pads for the first time this offseason. Given the injury, Vanderdoes is not expected to participate. He suffered the ailment about halfway into Sunday's session and did not return. Concussions can be a difficult injury to predict and project, but it seems likely the team will be cautious with the former UCLA defensive tackle. We will continue to update his progress as more information becomes available.

It's too much money, of course. But he's worth it. In the Monopoly money landscape of today's college athletics, John Calipari's new 10-year, $86 million contract is barely worth batting an eye over. As a kicker, the Kentucky basketball coach can retire after six years, become an advisor and still cash a hefty paycheck. It's part of the deal. Wait a minute. Calipari has won (only) one national title at Kentucky, you say. So did Tubby Smith, Rick Pitino and Joe B. Hall. They didn't get cushy retirement plans. True. But don't judge Cal's worth by his predecessors. Compare his job performance to his contemporaries. For the sake of this discussion, here's an Elite Eight   Calipari, Duke's Mike Krzyzewski, Michigan State's Tom Izzo, Kansas' Bill Self, North Carolina's Roy Williams, Villanova's Jay Wright, Gonzaga's Mark Few and Virginia's Tony Bennett. Each has coached at his current school the past 10 years. Krzyzewski (2), Calipari, Williams, Wright (2) and Bennett have won titles during that time. Self and Izzo have been to multiple Final Fours. Few played for a national title. Now let's take a deeper dive into the decade numbers, coach-by-coach: Calipari: The Cats are 305-71 so far during Cal's stay in Lexington. They earned a dizzying four Final Fours in a five-year span (2011-15). Haven't been back since. Won the national title in 2012. Relegated to the NIT in 2013, but they have at least one Big Dance win in each of the other nine years. NCAA Tournament wins: 31. Krzyzewski: Coach K is 299-70 the last 10 years. Captured titles in 2010 and 2015, bringing his total to five overall. Those were his only two Final Four trips, however. Duke has been to the NCAA Tournament each of the last 10 years, but the Blue Devils were twice bounced in the first round. Like UK, the Devils haven't been to the Final Four since 2015. NCAA Tournament wins: 26. Williams: The Tar Heels are 277-96 the past decade. Ol' Roy had to settle for the NIT in 2010, but he has been to the Big Dance each year since. The Heels lost the title game to Villanova in 2016, but they beat Gonzaga in 2017 for Williams' third national championship. He has two other Elite Eights over the past 10 years. No first-round knockouts. NCAA Tournament wins: 24. Self: The Jayhawks are 304-66 over the last 10 years. They've been to two Final Fours, losing in the 2012 national title game to UK and falling to Villanova in the 2018 semifinals. There are no first-round knockouts on Self's decade dance card, but four times Kansas failed to advance to the Sweet 16. NCAA Tournament wins: 24. Izzo: Michigan State is 270-95 over the last 10 years. No national tiles, but the Spartans have been to three Final Fours, including this past season. Izzo's club was eliminated in the national semifinals each of those years. And Sparty has two first-round NCAA losses over the last 10. NCAA Tournament wins: 21. Few: Gonzaga is 304-56 since 2009-10. Yes, the Bulldogs are not in a major conference. And they have reached just one Final Four, the 2017 title loss to North Carolina. But they have won at least one NCAA Tournament game each of the last 10 years, and they have at least two wins each of the last five. NCAA Tournament wins: 20. Wright: The Wildcats are 270-84 the past decade. Not long ago, Villanova was a tournament underachiever. From 2010 through 2015, they won a total of three NCAA games. Failed to reach the tourney in 2012. Then the Wildcats won the 2016 national title. They cut down the nets again in 2018. Boom or bust. NCAA Tournament wins: 17. Bennett: The Cavaliers are 254-89 over the past decade. And it wasn't like Bennett took over a national power. He didn't get his NCAA tourney win at Virginia until 2014. In 2018, the Wahoos infamously became the first No. 1 seed to lose to a No. 16 seed. The following April   this past April   they won the national title. Bennett's arrow is definitely pointing up. NCAA Tournament wins: 13.     ©2019 Lexington Herald-Leader (Lexington, Ky.) Visit the Lexington Herald-Leader (Lexington, Ky.) at www.kentucky.com Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

The Chargers made a change to the bottom of their offensive line depth chart on Friday. The team announced that they have signed tackle Brant Weiss. They waived tackle Koda Martin with an injury designation to clear space for Weiss on the 90-man roster. Weiss signed with the Cardinals after a stint in the Alliance of American Football earlier this year. He was also with Arizona for training camp and the preseason last year, but lost his spot on Arizona's roster in early May. Weiss played at Toledo in college before going undrafted. Martin played at Texas A&M and then spent a year at Syracuse, where his father-in-law Dino Babers is the head coach, as a graduate transfer.


ARLINGTON, Texas (CBSDFW.COM)   Medical examiners will begin looking for the cause of death for Los Angeles Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs after he was found unresponsive in a North Texas hotel room while in town to face the Texas Rangers. An autopsy by the Tarrant County Medical Examiner is scheduled to start Tuesday. On Monday, Southlake police found the 27-year-old pitcher inside a Hilton hotel room at 1400 Plaza Place, where he was pronounced dead. During the early stages of the investigation, police said they do not suspect foul play and have ruled out suicide. The sudden death of Skaggs was felt across the nation as fans and players mourned the loss of a young star. The Angels were in North Texas for a four-game series that was scheduled to begin Monday. Los Angeles Angels Pitcher Tyler Skaggs, 27, Found Dead In North Texas Hotel Room The Angels announced his passing on Twitter Monday, saying "It is with great sorrow that we report Tyler Skaggs passed away earlier today in Texas. Tyler has, and always will be, an important part of the Angels family. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Carli and his entire family during this devastating time." After the announcement of Skaggs' death, Monday evening's game was postponed to a still-undetermined date. Skaggs was also supposed to pitch on Thursday, July 4. The status of Tuesday evening's game and the rest of the series is still unclear. "Real life takes precedence here," Rangers General Manager Jon Daniels said. "Some things are a lot bigger than baseball." Skaggs, a Los Angeles-area native, was picked by the Angels in the 2009 MLB Draft. He last pitched Saturday against the Oakland Athletics where he went five innings.


Dwayne Haskins is getting geared up for his revenge tour around the NFL in his first season after being passed over by multiple teams -- most notably the Giants at sixth overall -- until he eventually was selected by the Redskins at 15. If rookie camp is any indication, Haskins is already in midseason form. . @dh_simba7 airing it out to @Wide_Receiver3 . #HTTR pic.twitter.com/g4wUMibPGX   Washington Redskins (@Redskins) May 10, 2019 That is a bomb out of the hands of Haskins, but more impressive is the back shoulder accuracy with which the pass was delivered. If he can be this accurate in his rookie season, the NFL is going to be put on notice. Haskins threw for nearly 5,000 yards last season and there's no doubt he's extremely talented. If he continues to throw the ball with that combination of power and accuracy, the Giants will soon regret not picking him at six and the Redskins will reap the benefits of their rival's mistake.

Video by Sports Media Group The New York Giants have done nothing but gush about quarterback Daniel Jones since selecting him No. 6 overall in April. A month ago, offensive coordinator Mike Shula said he thought Jones could start in Week 1 if the Giants needed him to. On Tuesday, head coach Pat Shurmur continued to tout the worthiness of his rookie, saying Jones is "on track to be able to get himself ready to play Week 1 ," per Ryan Dunleavy of NJ.com. During the pre-draft process, Jones was praised for his intelligence, among other things. It seems clear that he is picking up Shurmur's system quickly, and that he has impressed the Giants coaching staff as a whole. Based on the reviews veteran Eli Manning has gotten this summer from beat writers who cover the Giants, the team may be relying on Jones far sooner than it anticipated. Whether any of this translates to success on the field come Sundays   both in the short and long term   remains to be seen.


An Oklahoma woman left two of her children unsupervised in a running car as she drank at a bar on a hot summer afternoon, according to the Apopka Police Department. The Florida police arrested April King on Sunday afternoon and charged her with felony child neglect after she reportedly entered Frogger's Bar & Grill, visibly intoxicated, and abandoned her two and four year old in her vehicle. "April King was known to the bar employees," said Sgt. Edwin Chittenden of the Apopka Police Department. "She usually drinks too much there and starts trouble, she isn't one of their favorite patrons." According to Sgt. Chittenden, King entered the bar around 12:30 p.m. or 1 p.m. and ordered vodka. After she ordered, the bar manager noticed that there were two children inside her running car. King's two-year-old daughter was still strapped into a car seat, while King's four-year-old son, at one point, leapt into the driver's seat and began to rev up the engine. Quickly, the Frogger's employees on hand placed a call to the police. When officers arrived on scene they found King, still inebriated, outside of an AT&T store. "The four year old started to blow into the breathalyzer that was required to start the car," Sgt. Chittenden added. "King has several DUIs from the past, and the kid blew into it like he knew what he was doing. An officer asked if he blew into it often and the mother shouted, 'No he does not'!" The police suspect that King regularly instructs her son to start the car via blowing into the breathalyzer that controls its engine interlock device, however the Apopka Police Department is unable to prove it. After King's arrest, her husband arrived from Oklahoma to retrieve the children, according to police.


Premier League trio Leicester City, Newcastle United and Southampton are all keeping tabs on ADO Den Haag central defender Wilfried Konan ahead of a potential move this summer. The 25-year-old starred for the Dutch side in 2018/19, scoring once and providing one assist in 30 Eredivise games. It was his performances at the back however that have really caught the eye, as sides in England, Spain and Germany keep tabs on him. According to The Sun though, Leicester , Newcastle and Southampton are the three teams at the head of the queue for his signature. While a potential price tag is yet to disclosed, it could increase significantly over the summer should he perform well for the Ivory Coast at this summer's Africa Cup of Nations, where he's likely to add to his tally of 34 caps for the national team. Leicester will likely be on the search for a long-term successor to 35-year-old club captain Wes Morgan, although Kanon could also be plugging a gap left by the in-demand Harry Maguire . The 26-year-old has been linked with a move to Manchester City this summer that would require a world-record fee in order to happen. In addition, Leicester have also been linked with James Tarkowski, Michael Keane and Nathan Ake in the event of Maguire departure. However, Kanon would surely be a much more economical option. Newcastle and Southampton meanwhile will be looking to bolster their ranks ahead of the upcoming, the Saints especially if they're to avoid another relegation fight in 2019/20. It's not the first time that Kanon has attracted interest from the Premier League , with the aforementioned publication stating Crystal Palace and Everton have monitored the defender in the past. Yes yes off course Oh Oh Den Haaaagg @ImmersLex @elkhayati10  @ADODenHaag pic.twitter.com/qeL6sUWnfX   Wilfried Kanon (@WilfriedKanon) May 15, 2019 In terms of the rest of Europe, Bundesliga trio Schalke, Mainz and Wolfsburg have Kanon on their radar, while La Liga duo Getafe and Real Betis are also said to be keeping tabs on him. Kanon joined ADO Den Haag in 2013 from Romanian side Corona Brasov and has gone on to make over 100 appearances for the Dutch side.


Here's a look at the Patriots: Quarterback Danny Etling is now wide receiver Danny Etling, as Mike Reiss of ESPN.com writes. Already, there is excitement about what Etling can do as a multi-threat talent. " We always knew Danny could play different positions. I always used to joke with him and call him Taysom Hill ," receiver Phillip Dorsett said. Etling also took practice repetitions on special teams this week, which is another area in which Hill contributes to the Saints. As the Patriots near the end of August, NESN's Doug Kyed and Zack Cox looked ahead at New England's roster projection. The duo sees Etling missing the cut, despite his versatility. Both writers also see punter Ryan Allen losing the battle to cheaper alternative Jake Bailey . More from Reiss , who notes that Joe Judge is in a unique position as the NFL's only special-teams coordinator/wide receivers coach. Because he can't be in two places at the same time, Judge has been relying on Patriots Hall of Famer Troy Brown as a WR assistant on a temporary basis that could theoretically become a full-time job.

J.J. Watt's past two offseasons were fraught with trepidation as he recovered from major injuries, but now the Houston Texans defensive end is fully confident. In 2016, Watt was trying to come back from surgery to repair a herniated disc in late July. The three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year lasted three games before his back gave out. In 2017, Watt broke his left tibial plateau five games into his comeback season. In 2018, Watt had to battle retain his confidence while having niggling feelings in the back of his mind that he had no idea where he was going in his recovery. Now, in 2019, Watt is a better place mentally because there is no more ambiguity related to rehabilitation. "I feel a lot better, obviously, mentally, last year than this year because I'm not wondering," Watt told reporters Tuesday after the first day of veteran minicamp. "Last year was a lot of wondering, hoping, having a good idea that I was on the right path but you never know for sure when you're coming off of what I was coming off of. This year, you're not coming off of as much, you're just working and growing and getting better." Watt finished 2018 playing all 16 games and producing 16.0 sacks along with leading the NFL with seven forced fumbles. While Watt did not earn his fourth NFL Defensive Player of the Year honor or even take home the NFL Comeback Player of the Year, he did return to form as a first-team All-Pro selection. Taking that along with a Pro Bowl nod into the offseason, along with the team finishing 11-5 and winning the AFC South, has given Watt a confident gait throughout the offseason. "You have more of a confident stance, and I think that's where I'm at this year," Watt said. "I'm very confident, where as last year I was confident, but kind of hesitant. So, this year that hesitancy is gone, not having come of a bad injury but coming off of a solid season." Watt enters his ninth season and is 30 years old. If the Texans can get back to a regularly scheduled prime of a future Hall of Famer in Watt, then Houston's defense should be formidable when they face their 16-game slate. "It's good to have that feeling and it's good to be going into a season without those doubts," said Watt.

Neither Shai Gilgeous-Alexander nor Chris Paul has had any sort of introductory press conference upon their move to Oklahoma City - though the two did take a trip to Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum, something the organization does with new players. At this point, it seems unlikely Thunder general manager Sam Presti and the rest of the front office will schedule anything. Additionally, the Thunder haven't made an official announcement about what numbers Paul or Gilgeous-Alexander will wear. It's probably easy to figure out what number CP3 will wear. (It's 3, in case that wasn't clear enough.) Gilgeous-Alexander wore No. 2 while with the Clippers, but was No. 22 in his one year at Kentucky. Being in a new place, SGA could go with something completely different. Well, for those looking to get their Gilgeous-Alexander jersey's make sure you don't get any knock-off No. 22 jerseys.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders said with the wide field of candidates seeking the Democratic presidential nomination that he does not expect any of them to break 50% of the vote in Iowa. "What I think is that four years ago, you know, there were only two of us in the race, and we split the vote about 50% each," Sanders told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union" Sunday. "This time we've got a whole lot of candidates and I don't think anybody is going to reach 50%." Sanders' remarks come a day after CNN released a new poll of likely participants in the first-in-the-nation Iowa Democratic caucuses, showing 24% in favor of former Vice President Joe Biden and 16% backing Sanders . RELATED: Full poll results | Iowa caucus polling just got even harder Sanders went on to tell Bash that despite the crowded Democratic field, he was confident in his campaign's approach to Iowa and his own resonance with Iowa voters, nodding to wage stagnation, climate change and wealth distribution. Looking to next year, Sanders said he believed he had an "excellent" chance to win Iowa and said outright that he would win New Hampshire. "We're not going to get 50% of the vote in Iowa," Sanders said. "I don't think anybody will." He added, "I think we have a very strong chance of being the candidate who will defeat the worst president in the modern history of this country, Donald Trump." The latest CNN/Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll released Saturday showed Biden leading the roughly two dozen Democratic candidates, with Sanders next up, closely followed by Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg. Sanders on Sunday did not seem worried about Warren and Buttigieg's proximity to his campaign in the poll, stating that no one candidate will capture a majority of the votes in Iowa. Nearly 20 of the Democratic presidential candidates were slated to speak at an Iowa event Sunday, underscoring the massive size of the field and the level of competition between the candidates well ahead of the caucuses next year.

One of the largest Catholic archdioceses in the nation released the names on Friday of dozens of priests and deacons "credibly accused" of sexually abusing minors, along with a letter of apology from New York 's powerful archbishop, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, seeking forgiveness "for the failings of those clergy and bishops who should have provided for the safety of our young people but instead betrayed the trust placed in them by God and by the faithful." About half of the 120 priests and deacons on the list released by New York's sprawling archdiocese have passed away, while the rest have been defrocked or otherwise dismissed from their ministries, though a handful of the named clergy are still appealing their dismissals. Among those listed is Washington, D.C., Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, who was defrocked by Pope Francis earlier this year after a Vatican tribunal found him guilty of sexually abusing a minor decades ago. New York's archdiocese, like so many others across the nation, is scrambling to contain growing frustration among its nearly 3 million parishioners over the church's systemic cover-ups of child sex abuse by Catholic clergy in recent decades. "After hearing from many of you, including many victim-survivors, I have decided to publish a comprehensive list of all archdiocesan clergy found credibly accused of sexual abuse of a minor," Dolan wrote in a letter to Catholics posted on the diocesan website and tweeted out on Friday afternoon. "Please join me in praying for peace and consolation for victim-survivors and their families." The publication of New York's list of 115 priests and five deacons follows on the heels of similar disclosures this year from major archdioceses in the tri-state area, including those in Hartford, Connecticut; Newark, New Jersey; and Brooklyn, New York. In February, Pope Francis summoned nearly 200 bishops and cardinals from across the globe to convene a historic conference at the Vatican in Rome to address the epidemic of child sexual abuse by Catholic priests. The pope told those gathered at the conference that the world's one billion Catholic faithful "expect not simple and obvious condemnations, but concrete and effective measures." The February conference in Rome itself followed a damning report issued last summer by a Pennsylvania grand jury, which accused more than 300 priests of molesting more than 1,000 victims in that state alone over the past 70 years. The report prompted law enforcement in multiple other jurisdictions to launch their own forensic accounting of historic abuse cases, including the attorneys general of New York and New Jersey. The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP), the nation's most prominent and vocal congregation of alleged victims of sex abuse at the hands of Catholic clergy, said in a statement that it was "grateful for the bit of transparency shown by the Archdiocese of New York today, we will be looking to the conclusion of the ongoing investigation by [New York] Attorney General Letitia James for the full transparency that the public deserves and needs."

Not many NFL players are faster at nearly 42 years old than they were at their Scouting Combine, but Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is a little different. Brady and his team posted a video today of him running what they say is a 5.17-second 40-yard dash . That's far from elite for an NFL player, but it's an impressive time for Brady. . @TomBrady running his 40 time at 5.17 one month short of his 42nd birthday. Brady entered the league running 5.28 at the 2000 combine. He improved every part of his game since then. pic.twitter.com/wFP1VzlRe4   Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman) July 5, 2019 That's because at the 2000 Scouting Combine, Brady ran the 40 in 5.28 seconds . Few athletes   few people in the general population, for that matter   can run faster in their early 40s than in their early 20s. Brady, who will turn 42 on August 3, runs shirtless in the new video and looks better than he did in his famously pudgy appearance at the Scouting Combine. Heading into his 20th season, Brady does not appear to be slowing down. Related slideshow: Best of Super Bowl LIII (provided by imagn)

A trial began Tuesday for a Massachusetts woman charged with murder after the bodies of three infants she had given birth to were found in her squalid home. Erika Murray is charged in the deaths of two of the three dead babies found in the trash-strewn and insect-infested Blackstone home in 2014. Four living children were removed from the home. Neighbor Betsy Brown called authorities after a 10-year-old boy who lived there asked for helping in getting a baby to stop crying. "Dirty diapers, lots of dirty diapers, baby bottles, maggots everywhere. It was really dark and hot. It was horrible," Brown said. Brown described how she used her shirt to clean off the children because there was nothing clean nearby. Investigators say Murray's home was filled with trash and infested with vermin and fleas. Officials said they found the skeletal remains of two diapered and clothed infants and a fetus in a closet in the home. During Tuesday's opening statements, Murray's defense attorney said she didn't call 911 when her babies died because she panicked. The defense also claims that Murray's mental illness had an impact on the squalid condition of the home, which has now been torn down. There is no jury in this case. Murray opted to go with a bench trial.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) Police in Oregon have arrested a woman following the shooting death of a Portland State University basketball player. Police in Portland say 30-year-old Tamena Strickland was taken into custody late Friday following the shooting death of 22-year-old Deante Strickland. The Oregonian/OregonLive reported that Deante Strickland's uncle, Damian Strickland, said Tamena Strickland is Deante Strickland's sister. Portland police didn't immediately respond to inquiries from The Associated Press. Tamena Strickland is being held in the Multnomah County Detention Center without bail on suspicion of murder and two counts of attempted murder. Authorities say the shooting occurred at a house and that two women were also injured by gunfire and sustained what are believed to be non-life threatening injuries. It's not clear from online records if Tamena Strickland has an attorney.

Golf's oldest major will tee off for the 148th time on Thursday when many of the sport's best battle for the Claret Jug at the 2019 British Open . Northern Ireland's Royal Portrush Golf Club will be the site of this year's tournament, the second time the course has hosted the British Open. A deep field that features the top 33 golfers in the World Golf Rankings immediately makes the tournament a big draw, with three players   Tiger Woods, Brooks Koepka and Gary Woodland   vying to win their second major of the year. Francesco Molinari will try to become the first golfer to win back to back Claret Jugs since Padraig Harrington in 2007 and 2008. The British Open has featured a wide variety of recent champions, with underdogs experiencing a similar amount of success as some of the favorites. Using the betting odds for this year's tournament, here is the competition sized up with favorites, sleepers and past champions to guide your picks. MORE: Expert picks to win the 2019 British Open Who will win the British Open in 2019? It makes complete sense to pick Brooks Koepka to win. He is No. 1 in the World Golf Rankings, won the PGA Championship this year, and finished in second place in the other two majors. His British Open history, however, pales in comparison to his showings in the other three majors. He has two career top-10 finishes, but hasn't finished better than a tie for 39th in his other three appearances. Rory McIlroy is another favorite to win the Claret Jug in his home country, especially since he already has familiarity with Royal Portrush. He set the Old Course record by shooting 61 as a 16-year-old in 2005. It's a new decade, but a more mature McIlroy is still very capable of winning his second British Open. British Open 2019 betting odds Koepka's resume and recent success in majors gives him the title of betting favorite at +750. McIlroy (+800) is No. 3 in the World Golf Rankings but has the second-best odds. Dustin Johnson and Tiger Woods (+1200) aren't far behind the top two. Johnson is still looking for his first British Open win, while Woods will be trying for his fourth Claret Jug. While McIlroy has a richer history at Royal Portrush than others in the field, it's more difficult than usual to base any picks off past success at the course, since the only other time the British Open was played there was in 1951, so obviously nobody in the field this year and then overlap. Open Championship sleeper picks Some enticing values outside of the favorites include 2010 British Open winner Louis Oosthuizen (+4000), U.S. Open champion Gary Woodland (+5000) and Tony Finau (+5000), who always seems to be right in the thick of things during big tournaments. Finau has four top-10 finishes in majors over the last two years. For reference, the odds that the last three winners had entering the tournament were: Francesco Molinari (+2500), Jordan Spieth (+1200) and Henrik Stenson (+2500). Here is the full list of odds for the 2019 British Open.

Chinook salmon were already endangered in California's Sacramento River, but the record drought parching the western United States has brought the iconic fish even closer to extinction. Chinook, also known as king salmon, need very cold water for their eggs to develop. If everything goes right, the young salmon hatch and eventually make their way downstream toward the ocean, before later returning to the rivers to spawn and die. But the migration has dropped off in recent years. There were 4.4 million juvenile Chinook in 2009 -- half the number of four years earlier. Last year, the number of juveniles passing by the dam in Red Bluff, at the northern end of California's Central Valley, was just 411,000. Approximately 95 percent of these winter-run Chinook eggs and juveniles did not survive, according to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). "Last year was very difficult for these Sacramento River fish because of the drought and heat," NOAA spokesman Michael Milstein told AFP. "This year we had hoped would be better." It wasn't. Although there were more adult fish spawning this year, so far there have been 22 percent fewer juveniles coming downriver, Milstein said. To date, only 217,000 juveniles have been counted passing through Red Bluff in 2015, versus 280,000 over the same period last year. The Sacramento Chinook, designated an endangered species in 1994, have been struggling for years, for a number of reasons, but the drought has only exacerbated the problems. Access to the historical spawning habitat of winter-run Chinook salmon on the Sacramento is cut off by the Shasta and Keswick dams, built in the 1940s. - 'Too warm for spawning' - The remaining habitat, below the dams, is too warm for spawning, so managers release dam water to bring down the temperature and allow the population to reproduce. "But the drought has reduced the amount (of water) available, both for fish and for other uses," explained Milstein. He said rising air temperatures also raise the temperature of the water that remains. The migration numbers are only preliminary, Milstein said, "but right now the news for these salmon is not good." The drought and its impacts are "the type of things we expect to see more often with global warming," he said. Some species, like sturgeon in the same rivers, might be able to adapt to the type of temperature changes projected with global climate change, Milstein said. But other aquatic species up and down the US west coast are facing a fate similar to Sacramento Chinook salmon. Milstein said many sockeye salmon in Oregon and Washington also did not survive this year due to the warmer waters.


Host nation, and one of a few pre-tournament favorites, France survived a scare and half from Brazil in the round of 16 at the 2019 Women's World Cup on Sunday in Le Havre, France, only to come out the other side with a 2-1 extra-time victory and book their place in the quarterfinals. [ MORE: All of PST's Women's World Cup coverage | USWNT ] Amandine Henry's 107th-minute winner keeps alive the most anticipated game of the World Cup: France versus the U.S. women's national team, pending the Americans getting past Spain on Monday. Video review has been the unwanted star of this tournament, and this game was no different. France was first to put the ball in the back of the net, but another questionable video review saw Les Bleus ' goal taken away in the first half. Valerie Gauvin was deemed, upon review, to have fouled goalkeeper Barbara by heading the ball out of her hands (per FIFA.com's official live blog ) when the two came together in the air. Gauvin remained down on the ground for roughly a minute, while Barbara required two or three minutes of treatment and assessment from the medical staff. That gave Canadian referee Marie-Soleil Beaudoin ample time to consult with her video assistant before making her way to the monitor. Barbara didn't appear to have "possession" of the ball when the contact was made, making for another confusing override upon second review. Another game, another VAR controversy! France believe they have a 1-0 lead as Gauvin and Barbara collide. But after a lengthy review, VAR decides it was a foul. No goal! #FIFAWWC pic.twitter.com/3MLaF9RQdI   FOX Soccer (@FOXSoccer) June 23, 2019 France needed just seven second-half minutes to score a goal that couldn't be taken away. Kadidiatou Diani made her way down the right flank before hitting a low cross into the six-yard box where Gauvin was the last figure to arrive, but best-timed. At full-stretch, she got just enough of her right foot on the ball to redirect it past the onrushing Barbara. Can't take that one away! Gauvin puts the ball in the net again after a great run and cross from Diani, and France get their 1-0 lead. #FIFAWWC pic.twitter.com/czo21hzleE   FOX Soccer (@FOXSoccer) June 23, 2019 Brazil nearly equalized in short order, as Cristiane looped a header that was sneaking just under the crossbar and would have drawn the Selecao level, but Sarah Bouhaddi scrambled back to her goal line and rose just high enough, getting just enough of a hand on it to keep it out. [ MORE: NOR 1-1 (4-1 PKs) AUS | ENG 3-0 CAM | GER 3-0 NGA ] The Brazilian pressure was far from over, though, and they were justly rewarded with an equalizer in the 63rd minute.

She got inside of her defender, but Griedge Mbock Bathy recovered behind Bouhaddi to make a spectacular goal-saving clearance when the outcome seemed a certain goal for Brazil. Henry's winner came barely a minute into the second period, when she fought through her defender to get goal-side as Amel Majri's curling free kick came into the box.

The Warriors recognize that dynasties   especially in a modern NBA of near-annual roster turnover   only last so long. But by executing a sign-and-trade deal Sunday with Brooklyn for the top restricted free agent on the market, combo guard D'Angelo Russell, Golden State helped give itself a chance to stay competitive. Instead of letting forward Kevin Durant leave for nothing, the Warriors orchestrated an agreement to land Russell, shooting guard Treveon Graham and point guard Shabazz Napier. To make the numbers work, Golden State traded forward Andre Iguodala   who is on the final season of a three-year, $48 million contract   to the Grizzlies with a protected 2024 first-round draft pick, league sources confirmed with The Chronicle. The 2024 pick Memphis is acquiring is No. 1-4 protected that year, No. 1 protected in 2025 and unprotected in 2026 if the pick still hasn't become available to the Grizzlies. By trading Iguodala, the Warriors signaled the dawn of a new era. This is a player who, in his six seasons with Golden State, had become a steadying presence in the locker room and on the court. Iguodala, the 2015 Finals MVP, can play point guard, shooting guard or small forward depending on what the game demands. A two-time All-Defensive team selection, he routinely shuts down the opponent's top scorer. But the NBA is a business, and the Warriors felt the need to get younger. Russell is a 23-year-old All-Star who offers Golden State a highly skilled playmaker to help fill the scoring void left by shooting guard Klay Thompson, who will miss most   if not all   of next season with an ACL injury. The Warriors could either try to develop Russell into a long-term building block or only keep him until Thompson returns to the lineup. Given his age and ability, Russell would make for an enticing trade chip at the deadline. However, this much is already clear: He isn't an ideal fit alongside Stephen Curry. Russell's game subsists on handling the ball at the top of the key and running pick-and-rolls. Meanwhile, the pass-happy Warriors ranked last in the NBA last season in pick-and-roll frequency. Golden State head coach Steve Kerr is capable of tweaking his offense to maximize Russell's strengths, but that could come at the expense of some of Curry's brilliance. There is also the fact that both Curry and Russell are middling defenders. With Iguodala gone and Thompson injured, the Warriors are alarmingly low on wing defenders. Graham and Napier are both solid role players who can add backcourt depth. But should Golden State decide they don't fit, it can waive them without consequence because both of their contracts are non-guaranteed. In the wake of Sunday's moves, the Warriors face a number of tough roster decisions. Kevon Looney, whom Kerr has called a cornerstone of the franchise, might be Golden State's only remaining free agent to return. To minimize the repeater tax and ensure that they have more spending power next season, the Warriors could have to part ways with DeMarcus Cousins, Quinn Cook, Jordan Bell, Jonas Jerebko and Andrew Bogut. Of that group, Bogut was the only one who was definitely not expected back before Sunday. Golden State will now have to either waive or trade point guard Shaun Livingston. If the Warriors cut him before July 10, they will only have to pay $2 million of his $7.7 million contract for next season. In the span of a few hours Sunday, Golden State ensured that the team that opens Chase Center will look far different than the one that closed Oracle Arena.

Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) filed articles of impeachment against President Trump on Tuesday under a process that will force a House floor vote by the end of this week. Green introduced his articles of impeachment after the House passed a resolution largely along party lines condemning Trump for suggesting that four progressive freshman congresswomen of color - Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Ayanna Pressley (Mass.), Ilhan Omar (Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (Mich.) - should "go back" to their countries. Green said that the House should go beyond condemning Trump and move to remove him from office. It will be the third impeachment floor vote forced by Green in the last two years, but the first since Democrats took control of the House. Green previously forced procedural votes on articles of impeachment against Trump in December 2017 and January 2018. Both efforts drew the support of about 60 House Democrats. A total of 84 House Democrats currently support launching an impeachment inquiry, as well as Independent Rep. Justin Amash (Mich.), according to The Hill's whip list . But Democratic leaders - and the majority of the caucus - are not yet on board as they seek to continue ongoing investigations of the Trump administration. A floor vote will force all House Democrats to go on the record about an issue on which they have yet to reach consensus. Green read aloud his articles of impeachment on the House floor, saying Trump is "unfit to defend the ideals that have made America great" and "unfit to ensure domestic tranquillity" and "promote the general welfare." As he did in his previous articles of impeachment, Green accused Trump of having "sown seeds of discord among the people of the United States" by inflaming racial tensions and "brought the high office of president of the United States in contempt, ridicule, disgrace and disrepute." Green, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, forced the vote in January 2018 after The Washington Post reported Trump described African nations as "shithole countries." Some Democrats in favor of impeachment said Tuesday that Green's timing isn't ideal given that former special counsel Robert Mueller will be testifying before Congress next week about his report on whether Trump obstructed justice in the investigation into Russia's election interference. Those Democrats, however, said that they would likely vote in favor of Green's latest effort. Green gave House Democratic leaders a heads-up that he would be filing the articles of impeachment on Tuesday. He filed them as a "privileged" resolution, which under House rules must be considered on the floor within two legislative days. That means the House will have to take action by Thursday. When Green forced votes in 2017 and 2018, House GOP leaders - then in the majority - moved to table his impeachment resolutions. Democratic leaders could choose to allow a direct up-or-down vote on Green's resolution or move to table it. Earlier Tuesday, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said Democratic leaders hadn't yet decided how to handle Green's resolution on the floor. But he reiterated that they believe impeachment is still premature. "I think we need to hear from [Mueller] and analyze what he had to say," Hoyer said. "I think there's a lot of information to come, and we'll see - as the Speaker has said - where it leads us."


The New York Rangers are going to avoid arbitration with new defenseman Jacob Trouba , instead agreeing to terms on a new contract . The deal is for seven years and carries an average annual value of $8M. Trouba was scheduled for an arbitration hearing on July 25 but will no longer require it. This contract is exactly the reason why the Winnipeg Jets decided to move on and trade the 25-year-old Trouba this summer. They wouldn't have been able to afford a deal of this magnitude even if he had wanted to sign long-term there. The Jets have Kyle Connor and Patrik Laine to sign this offseason and already have huge commitments laid out for several others. The Rangers meanwhile had nearly zero long-term commitments when they acquired Trouba for Neal Pionk and a first-round pick, though they subsequently gave Artemi Panarin $81.5M in free agency. Signing Trouba is another signal that the Rangers are finished their teardown and starting to turn the corner toward a competitive team once again. After spending a little over a year selling every asset they could to acquire draft picks and prospects, the Rangers have now added a top-pairing defenseman, superstar winger and second-overall pick in one offseason, not to mention nabbing top college prospect Adam Fox from the Carolina Hurricanes. Though the team is still projected to be very young this year with names like Filip Chytil , Kaapo Kakko , Lias Andersson and Brett Howden fighting for playing time, the additions of Trouba and Panarin are not ones made by a rebuilding club. The new contract for Trouba will buy out six years of unrestricted free agency, as an arbitration decision of one year would have taken him to the open market. Despite being only 25, he has already played six full seasons in the NHL, totaling 408 regular-season games. After taking on a bigger power-play role last season with the Jets, Trouba set a career high in points with 50 while still averaging nearly 23 minutes a night. He will immediately become New York's top right-handed option, forming quite the formidable pairing with Brady Skjei if the team decides to go that route. At $8M, however, a huge responsibility will be placed on Trouba's shoulders. The deal makes him the fifth-highest paid defenseman (in terms of cap hit) in the league, tied with John Carlson and Brent Burns . Both of those players have reached the 70-point mark, with Burns being a previous Norris Trophy winner as the league's best defenseman (three-time finalist). He'll have more than enough opportunity to get to that level in New York, but it's still a gamble for the Rangers to make at this point. In fact, this deal (when combined with Panarin's) puts the Rangers into a tight salary situation of their own. The team still has Brendan Lemieux and Anthony DeAngelo to sign and an arbitration hearing scheduled for later this month with Pavel Buchnevich . In order to afford new contracts for all three the Rangers will have to make an additional roster move, whether that is trading a player like Vladislav Namestnikov or buying out someone like Kevin Shattenkirk . The team will get another buyout window a few days after the Buchnevich arbitration is settled, which will give it some more flexibility. There is also the possibility of trading veteran forward Chris Kreider , who sits as the third-highest-paid forward on the team and is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent next summer. Either way, this contract for Trouba comes with real consequences for the Rangers. The 25-year-old defenseman is an excellent player, but he now has even more pressure to perform than ever.


Reports continue to pile up claiming that Apple will launch three new iPhone models in 2019, all of which will be direct follow-ups to the models released in 2018. The latest publication to make this claim was Bloomberg , which also stated that the 6.1-inch LCD model (the successor to the iPhone XR) will feature two rear cameras instead of one. But the iPhone 11R news doesn't end there, as Mac Otakara is out with a report of its own . According to the Japanese blog, Apple will once again launch its lower-priced iPhone model in six color options this year, but will also tweak the lineup. In addition to White, Black, Yellow, and (PRODUCT)RED, the iPhone 11R will be available in Green and Lavender, which will replace the Blue and Coral color options. Mac Otakara also claims to have knowledge of the silicone cases that Apple will sell for its next-gen iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Max devices. The cases will reportedly be available in White, Black, (PRODUCT)RED, Lilac, Spearmint, and Mellow Yellow ( all of which are currently available for the iPhone XS and XS Max ). These aren't exactly bombshell revelations, but as summer approaches, our understanding of the 2019 iPhone lineup is starting to take shape. We know many of the changes and upgrades, we know the design will be similar to that of the 2018 lineup, and we now might know the colors of the iPhone 11R lineup. We still don't know what the phones will actually be called, but considering how early we knew the names of both the iPhone XS and iPhone XR last year, it's only a matter of time before these leak as well.

Google had a Pixel problem. Specifically, the sales of its Pixel phones have been declining year over year , despite being available for every US carrier through Google's online store. An exclusive carrier agreement with Verizon wasn't helping enough to get the word out . But now, for the first time ever, you'll be able to walk into any T-Mobile, Verizon or Sprint store to buy the new Pixel 3A and Pixel 3A XL . For once, Google's phones have a fighting chance of attracting buyers away from Samsung 's Galaxy devices and Apple iPhones. The significance of extending beyond Verizon's exclusivity is enormous, not just for the midrange Pixel 3A phones, but for the Pixel 4 and all Pixels going forward. For Google, getting Pixels displayed alongside the Samsung Galaxy devices and Apple iPhones gives Google a chance to win over some of their customers. Verizon will still offer the new Pixel 3A ($399, £399, AU$649) and Pixel 3A XL ($479, £469, AU$799). But starting Wednesday, you'll be able to walk into any T-Mobile or Sprint store to buy one as well. The same goes for Target, Walmart and Best Buy. Online, you can buy from Amazon as well as Google's online store. And though you won't find the Pixel phones inside AT&T's shops, you can take any unlocked Pixel to AT&T to use on its service. Phone brands across the board are seeing the market cool , while new technologies like foldable phones and 5G connections prepare to turn the industry on its head. Google will need to marshal its deep resources in 2019. Branching out beyond Verizon offers the Pixel brand its best opportunity to be seen. Pixel 3A and Pixel 3A XL look familiar, but are more affordable To be sure, Verizon's influence as the US' largest mobile network gave Pixel phones a boost compared with selling the devices through Google's online store alone, but opening up the Pixel 3A phones to other vendors unlocks an opportunity to exponentially boost Google's visibility as a phone-maker. Pixel phones are known for their "pure" Android operating system, first-in-line Android security updates and top-of-class camera performance. The 2018 Pixel 3 was CNET's best Android phone of the year with good reason. The midrange Pixel 3A phones, which have plastic bodies and slower processors but the Pixel 3's camera, might seem like an odd candidate to set Google's course into the open ocean. October's rumored high-end Pixel 4 might make more immediate sense. But Google is embracing the Pixel 3A phones as a test bed for what could be. Priced to sell, these affordable plastic handsets fit perfectly into Google's strategy to "get as many Pixel users as we possibly can," Mario Quieroz, who leads the Pixel team, told CNET in an interview. "Whether it's midtier or premium." The strategy certainly is a new one for Google, a company that dabbled in midrange and premium Nexus phones before putting its effort into the house-made Pixel brand in October 2016. Verizon's been Google's faithful Pixel patron, but though the phones sold in Google's online store for any US carrier, buyers' common perception was that Verizon was their only Pixel portal. Keeping Verizon as its exclusive carrier partner may've hurt Google's opportunity to sell more Pixels, though Google has been careful to avoid discussing how exclusivity may've played a role in restricting total sales. In an earnings call last week, Ruth Porat, CFO of Google's parent company Alphabet, said Pixel sales have declined year over year partly because of "heavy promotional activity industrywide" and "recent pressures in the premium smartphone market." If Google is going to dig itself out of its Pixel-shaped hole, it's going to need all the partners it can get. Originally published May 8 at 3 a.m. PT.

For as harmful as social media can be, it can also help to shine light on transgender health needs, finds a new study from the University of California, Los Angeles. "Transgender individuals are at risk for some of the most important public health problems, such as HIV , substance abuse, and depression," Sean D. Young, study co-author and executive director of the UC Institute for Prediction Technology, said in a press release . "There has been little research studying transgender communities, because they can be very closed communities who fear stigmatization. Our Institute has studied how to use 'social big data' to address public health needs and we wanted to apply this work to address the needs of transgender communities and researchers." Young and his team collected 1,135 tweets using relevant hashtags, like #trans and #girlslikeus. The latter was created by Janet Mock , host of MSNBC's "So POPULAR!" and author of Redefining Realness , for all trans women to have "an encouraging space, for debate, for love, for hope, for struggles…to be frivolous, to talk about transition, to talk about genitals if they want, to ask after the types of procedures people had." This space was partly motivated by the response to Mock's coming out, published in Marie Claire , about her own transition. The tweets the present study examined touched on issues, such as violence, discrimination, suicide, and sexual risk   and they were ultimately divided among four "categories of conversation" having to do with positive and negative sentiments in a social and personal context, respectively. The results showed nearly 55 percent of tweets were about positive social issues, such as Laverne Cox 's Emmy nomination for the Netflix original series Orange is the New Black , while 26 were about negative social issues, including police mistreatment and ignorance. As for personal context, 11 percent of tweets had to do with pride, self-affirmation, and about two percent were negative, touching on suicide , depression , and eating disorders . "These tweets provide real-time information that researchers can use to understand transgender individuals' health and well-being," explained Evan Krueger, study co-author and doctoral student in the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health. "In addition, these findings provide evidence that free technologies, such as social media, can be used as secondary sources of information on understudied populations." While the study has limitations   tweets aren't controlled and often anonymous due to stigma   it stands to reason it could be used to better understand transgender people, preventing disease and predicting important trends in the process.

The Texans didn't get their guy. After a brief battle with New England over Nick Caserio that resulted in the Patriots filing tampering charges, the Texans backed off . The Texans agreed to stop pursuing Caserio, with the Patriots agreeing to drop the tampering charges. Texans owner Cal McNair released a statement with the announcement, and now we have one from Patriots owner Robert Kraft. "The Houston Texans and New England Patriots have always had a great working relationship. We appreciate the way Cal McNair has handled this situation," the brief statement reads. This incident was particularly awkward because of all the crossover between the two teams. Texans coach Bill O'Brien is a former Bill Belichick protege, and a lot of Houston's coaching staff and front office has come from New England. With the ordeal over with and the Texans not getting their top choice, they'll have to move on. We've already heard of their interest in a number of candidates, including former GMs Ray Farmer, Martin Mayhew, Reggie McKenzie and Scott Pioli. But in the wake of this headache, the Texans are apparently considering not filling the vacancy at all, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN: With Houston dropping its pursuit of Nick Caserio, there now is a scenario under which the Texans will go this season without an official General Manager. For less than a year, Bill O'Brien, Jack Easterby and the scouting dept could divvy up the duties.   Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) June 14, 2019 That would be very unusual, but it sounds like a legit possibility at this point. Easterby came out of nowhere to suddenly become a powerful figure in Houston's front office, and this could be an opportunity for him to seize even more control. The Texans won the AFC South last year, but you wouldn't be able to tell with all the recent dysfunction surrounding the team. Deshaun Watson is heading into a pivotal third season, and O'Brien could be on the hot seat if things don't go well in 2019. It'll be very interesting to see what they do next.


Now that a hard-fought 2019 NBA Finals is over with the Toronto Raptors being crowned as first ever champions, the Association moves on to what promises to be an active offseason. How will the situation play out with injured Warriors stars Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson? Will Kawhi Leonard actually bolt Toronto after leading the Raptors to a title? Meanwhile, a whole host of teams are in on New Orleans Pelicans star Anthony Davis. That includes a Los Angeles Lakers squad coming off a disastrous 2018-19 season. These are among the top-10 storylines heading into one of the most important NBA offseasons in recent history. The Boston Celtics' future How exactly is Celtics general manager Danny Ainge going to navigate through what promises to be a franchise-altering offseason? The future of impending free agent Kyrie Irving is obviously the largest question here. Though, Boston won't know anything about his ultimate decision until July. That's where the quandary starts for these Celtics. Will Boston offer up the farm for Anthony Davis while not knowing Irving's decision? Would it make sense to use all of those assets should Irving depart in free agency? So many questions. Yet, so few answers. The Memphis Grizzlies It seemed like a foregone conclusion that Memphis will draft Murray State guard Ja Morant at No. 2 overall. That's changed a bit in recent days. Memphis attempted to seek a workout with R.J. Barrett. He declined. Morant then decided to take a visit with the Knicks, selecting at No. 3 overall. Does this mean Memphis has something else in the cards with the second pick? A larger NBA-wide question is the imminent trade of Mike Conley . Coming off a career-best performance, the point guard is clearly on the block. Among the teams interested, the Utah Jazz and Boston Celtics have been bandied about the most. Boston would be an intriguing potential destination should it lose Irving in free agency. Will the Lakers swing and miss? LeBron James has reportedly been concerned that the drama in Los Angeles could impact these Lakers and their ability to land top-end free agents . It's a pretty big concern, especially with Kawhi Leonard potentially set to return to Toronto and Kyrie Irving leaning more towards Brooklyn. On the other hand, Los Angeles has been active on the trade block. Adding Anthony Davis in a blockbuster move would change everything. That move alone could be enough for Los Angeles to compete out west given the Warriors' massive injury concerns. Improvement in Philadelphia Fresh off a disappointing end to the playoffs in the second round, the process in Philadelphia now has to mean title contention moving forward. At issue here is free agency. The Sixers boast two of the top-10 impending free agents in Jimmy Butler and Tobias Harris. It's in no way a guarantee that either returns next season. Given the assets general manager Elton Brand gave up for both last season, that's an issue . Even if the Sixers were to retain both, they still have to find improvements up and down the roster to be considered top-end contenders. That includes finding a backup point guard, a solid backup center and someone who can shoot off the bench. Short of this, Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid just aren't enough back east. Kevin Durant and the Warriors The NBA Finals were devastating on one front for the five-time defending Western Conference champs. Losing the series is one thing. Losing two star players to injuries that could cost each the 2019-20 season is another thing. Kevin Durant ( ruptured Achilles ) and Klay Thompson ( torn ACL ) face long roads back. For a Warriors team that's not in a great cap situation, this limits off-season options. It could also lead to next season being one of big-time struggles in San Francisco. The micro is now lost on us, either. Both Durant and Thompson are slated to hit free agency in a couple weeks. How will their injuries impact said free agency? Will the Warriors still offer each player a max? There's so many questions all-around after a devastating final two games of the Finals. The Toronto Raptors, with or without Kawhi Leonard There's a train of thought out there that includes the Raptors still being able to contend without Leonard in the mix. After seeing how he performed in the NBA Finals , that really does seem far-fetched. Leonard's presence in the roster opens everything up for other players. There's a reason why he's now the most highly-sought free agent this summer. He's a true difference-maker. For Leonard, it's simple. He's captivated a fan base and a nation. Will one of the game's best players give that up for the bright lights of New York City or Los Angeles? We're not too sure. What we do know is that Toronto would still be in good hands down the road with rising star Pacal Siakam and the other pieces it has on board. A shake up in Houston Once news broke that the Rockets were looking to blow things up, we thought it would be fun to look at potential James Harden trades . While that's highly unlikely to happen, pretty much everyone else on Houston's under-performing roster seems to be fair game. The team's owner is not happy after its most recent playoff failure . Heck, head coach Mike D'Antoni has not been given long-term security. From a roster standpoint, we're expecting both Chris Paul and Clint Capela to be moved. Given his bloated contract, age and regression, Paul might be a difficult sell. We're also openly wondering whether the injuries in Golden State now changes what Houston plans to do this offseason. It could potentially keep the band together for one final run. The Brooklyn Nets summer to shine Kyrie Irving to the Nets already seems to be a done deal . They are seen as the odds-on favorites to land the NBA champion. Irving's recent decision to move on from his agent for Roc Nation only adds to that. Led by Jay-Z and others, this agency is linked more to Brooklyn than any other team. In fact, he's a former part owner of the organization. Whether Irving actually lands in Brooklyn will play a large role in what the Nets do with the remainder of their cap space. They apparently like the idea of teaming Irving up with first-time All-Star and restricted free agent D'Angelo Russlell in the backcourt. If not, Brooklyn could add a second max-contract player. It has been linked heavily to Jimmy Butler . Expect big things from this up-and-coming franchise over the next several weeks. The New York Knicks New York was seemingly the odds-on favorite to land both Durant and Irving in free agency. Once Durant went down to injury and Irving found himself linked more to Brooklyn, that was all thrown for a loop. We do know that the Knicks are going all in this summer. If not Durant and Irving, they plan to make a full-court press for Kawhi Leonard . Heading into the 2019 NBA Draft, New York is also selecting third overall. What the team does with that pick could tell us a lot about how it plans to move forward. Heck, Anthony Davis still isn't off the table. It's going to get real interesting real soon in the Big Apple. Anthony Davis This Pelicans big man could very well be moved ahead of the NBA Draft on June 20. New Orleans would like to add draft assets this year in a blockbuster trade. First-year general manager David Griffin is already actively pursuing a trade and is in talks with multiple teams , the Lakers included. Something will happen on this front at some point soon. And it's going to shake up the foundation of the NBA. Davis, 26, is the most-skilled big man in the league. He's just now hitting his prime. Any trade would represent a blockbuster that we've rarely seen in the modern history of the game. It will also likely define the Association's offseason.

Ready to revive your sense of adventure? July is the season for swimming with sharks, epic trout fishing, and heading to far-off places. #1. See sharks up close in Mexico. Whale shark season runs from June through September, so if you've ever dreamed of swimming with the world's largest fish, plan a trip to the Riviera Maya now. Meg Austin of the Travel Society says they're best seen on a guided daylong snorkeling tour with an outfitter like Underwater Expeditions . #2. Go fishing out west. The Middle Fork of the Salmon River in Idaho will be low this summer, says Danilo Bonilla of Mountain Travel Sobek and this translates to "epic" rainbow trout fishing. Take advantage of someone's last-minute cancellation and you may be able to snag a spot on a guided late-summer expedition that was previously sold out. #3. Visit England this fall. Summer is high season in the Cotswolds, the Lake District, and the New Forest, but these areas are just as beautiful in September and October, "before the weather turns for the worse," says Jonathan Epstein of Celebrated Experiences. That's when hotels like resort-y Chewton Glen and spa-centric Barnsley House offer shoulder season rates, too. #4. Explore today's Turkey. The 2015 contemporary art  focused Istanbul Biennial will be held from September 5 through November 1 at venues along the Bosphorous. You'll also get excellent fall rates at hotels, says Earl Starkey of Sophisticated Travel, including at the new Raffles Istanbul and St. Regis Istanbul. #5. Score a deal on New Zealand. If you've ever wanted to go, now's the time, says Jean-Michel Jefferson of Ahipara, "thanks to the strong U.S. dollar, which is up about ten percent." Jefferson suggests the bucolic Annandale resort, near Christchurch, and the restaurant at Olivers Lodge, outside Queenstown.
