Mike Dunleavy Jr. named Warriors’ next general manager

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:07:31 GMT

The answer to one of the biggest questions heading into next week’s NBA Draft came to light early Friday morning.Mike Dunleavy Jr. has agreed to a deal to become the Warriors’ next general manager, the team announced.Dunleavy, 42, appeared to be a logical successor to Bob Myers, who announced last month that he’d be stepping away from the team after 12 years and four titles. Dunleavy is a former Warriors’ first-round draft pick who worked his way up from scout to Myers’ right-hand man over the last five years. He most recently served as the vice president of basketball operations, stepping in to cover some of Myers’ duties at times. Dunleavy represented the Warriors at general manager meetings and helped handle some of the team’s recent transactions.Myers seemed to be preparing Dunleavy for this role over the last few years and gave his stamp of approval to Dunleavy during his exit interview.“Well, Mike’s great,” Myers said May 30. “He’s a g...

Why the Sharks and Karlsson appear ready for a trade this offseason

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:07:31 GMT

SAN JOSE – The San Jose Sharks and representatives for defenseman Erik Karlsson are reportedly on the same page in terms of trying to move the two-time Norris Trophy winner to more of a championship-contending team.Sharks management met with Karlsson’s agents from Newport Sports Management last week, according to Pierre LeBrun of TSN and The Athletic, and agreed that a trade could be in order with San Jose in an apparent rebuilding state under general manager Mike Grier.Reaching this point was not necessarily hard to predict.Karlsson has repeatedly said he wants to win, having now spent four straight playoff-less seasons with the Sharks. While he and his family like San Jose and his mind and body are in a good place, it likely does not make sense for him to remain with the Sharks if the franchise needs more years to retool after a 22-44-16 season.Asked in April about potentially playing for another team in the fall, Karlsson, who was surrounded by trade rumors almost all year, said,...

Letelier served as foreign minister for Allende, and later was arrested and tortured by Pinochet.

The Pinochet regime, along with the right-wing governments of Argentina and Uruguay, launched a vici...

Norway fine with Haaland’s partying ahead of big European Championship qualifier

First there was a big party in Ibiza. Then came the bare-chested celebrations aboard an open-top bus in a city-center trophy parade.Erling Haaland has been front and center — along with Jack Grealish — in Manchester City’s treble-winning festivities, and that’s no problem for Norway coach Stale Solbakken despite a huge European Championship qualifier coming up for his country on Saturday.“I think everyone understands that and I also think it’s a good idea to do that,” Solbakken said Friday of Haaland’s partying since City won the Champions League for the first time on Saturday to complete the treble of major trophies.“I don’t think,” Solbakken added, “you can postpone a celebration like that. You can’t say, ‘Let’s meet up in the summer when these national games are over and we party.’ It’s not the same because the excitement is a little bit out of your body and you have to do it then.”Haaland is expected to play for Norway against Scotland in Oslo, with Solbakken having taken it eas...
