Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola wants both Lucas Paqueta and Bruno Guimaraes to be signed by the club this summer. The Brazilian duo have emerged as summer transfer targets for Manchester City ahead of the 2024/25 campaign, with next season potentially Pep Guardiola’s last as manager at the Etihad Stadium, as the 53-year-olds current deal expires in 2025. Guardiola is expected to oversee a midfield revamp ahead of the new season, after the departure of Ilkay Gundogan last summer and uncertainty surrounding the long-term future of Kevin De Bruyne, who is also out of contract in 2025. The Brazilian duo…

Believe it or not, Tuesday night was the first time in over five years that Los Angeles Lakers big man Anthony Davis played against the Toronto Raptors in Canada, as pointed out by Keerthika Uthayakumar of TSN Sports. “The last time Anthony Davis played in Toronto, the Raptors didn’t have an NBA championship. He hasn’t played on the road in Toronto since November 12, 2018 – 1,968 days ago.” Davis wasn’t even with the Los Angeles Lakers when he last went north of the border to play the Raptors before Tuesday’s meeting. He was still with the New Orleans Pelicans…

The tandem of LeBron James and Anthony Davis played a huge role in the Los Angeles Lakers’ dominant 128-111 road win over the Toronto Raptors Tuesday night. The Lakers are hoping that James and Davis have enough left in the tank to come up with an excellent collective performance again on short rest, as Los Angeles finishes a six-game road trip this Wednesday night versus the Washington Wizards. Will LeBron James & Anthony Davis Play in Los Angeles Lakers vs Washington Wizards? Lakers head coach Darvin Ham indicated that James and Davis will suit up and play against the Wizards…

The Los Angeles Lakers have been rolling as of late as they’ve won seven out of their last eight games with their most recent victory a blowout over the hapless Toronto Raptors. The Lakers spent most of the 2023-24 season climbing uphill, but have positioned themselves to potentially move up in the Western Conference standings. The uptick in wins is a by-product of head coach Darvin Ham going back to the starting lineup he used in the 2023 playoffs with Rui Hachimura as the team’s fifth starter. Jarred Vanderbilt established himself as the starter before he got hurt again, paving…

After the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday (4/2), LeBron James praised Rajon Rondo after Rondo announced his retirement from the NBA. LeBron and Rondo were teammates on the Lakers in 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2021-22. “One of the best players I ever played with,” LeBron said about Rondo. “Obviously his IQ was out of this world and I was very lucky to get to team up with him at that point here when I was in LA.” Rondo is one of the best point guards in NBA history. He has career averages of 9.8 points, 4.5 rebounds,…

The Los Angeles Lakers easily took care of business on Tuesday night against the Toronto Raptors, winning 128-111 in an outing they had control over from the very start. The Lakers led 100-79 after three quarters, giving superstars LeBron James and Anthony Davis the ability to rest for nearly the entire fourth quarter. James and Davis played 29 and 28 minutes, respectively, James’ ninth-fewest of the season and Davis’ sixth-fewest. At this stage of the season, it is an absolutely massive feat for James and Davis to get that kind of rest. Especially on the first night of a road…

Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes got 19 minutes on the court on Tuesday night against the Toronto Raptors, as L.A. won in blowout fashion and the team’s stars got to rest for a majority of the fourth quarter. In that fourth quarter, Hayes got the chance to put together a highlight reel moment when he threw down an Eastbay dunk — going between the legs with the ball — on a one-man fastbreak. Hayes got out ahead of the Raptors defense and received a perfect cross-court pass from Taurean Prince. After catching the ball at around the free throw…

The Los Angeles Lakers scored another dominant victory on Tuesday, taking down the Toronto Raptors to improve to 4-1 on their six-game road trip. Of course the performances of LeBron James and Anthony Davis were discussed, but reserve big man Jaxson Hayes also got a lot of attention after he threw down a between-the-legs Eastbay dunk late in the fourth quarter. With the Lakers well out in front, Taurean Prince found Hayes out ahead in transition. The big man never put the ball on the floor, but simply took two steps and rose up to throw the dunk down bringing…

There are a few players still left on the market that might peak the Pittsburgh Steelers’ interest, but free agency is pretty much done now. Teams have turned their focus to the draft later this month. With free agency in the rear view mirror, Pro Football Focus believes the Steelers’ top three biggest needs heading into the draft are at offensive line, wide receiver and cornerback. “Pittsburgh has to find starters at center and tackle before the season begins,” Dalton Wasserman of PFF wrote. “Broderick Jones can play either tackle spot, giving the team some flexibility. The Steelers also need…

The Pittsburgh Steelers swung a trade to acquire quarterback Justin Fields from the Chicago Bears last month, but that came after the Steelers signed Russell Wilson to a one-year deal. So, what does that mean for Fields heading into 2024? The general consensus is that Wilson will begin the season as the starter and will keep his job so long as he remains productive. Fields may then end up taking the reins in 2025. However, former NFL defensive lineman and current ESPN analyst Marcus Spears thinks that Fields will be starting much sooner than that. During an episode of ESPN’s…
