Dejounte Murray Traded to Pelicans: The End of an Era for the Hawks

Published

After long months of rumors, the soap opera Dejounte Murray has ended. Adrian Wojnarowski dropped a beautiful “Woj Bomb” in the middle of the night by announcing the departure of the leader for New Orleans. Between the rumors that evoked a possible return of Dejounte Murray to San Antonio, the possible arrival of Darius Garland in Louisiana, or the prospect of negotiations in view of the Draft around the first choice of Atlanta, it was finally the Pelicans and the Hawks who found common ground the day after the second night of the Draft.

The Pelicans managed to convince their counterparts by agreeing to give in Larry Nance Jr, EJ Liddell et Dyson Daniels but also two first rounds of the Draft, from 2025 (via the Lakers) and 2027 (the least favorable between the choice of the Bucks and that of the Pelicans).

Another asset for New Orleans, an opportunity to rebuild for Atlanta

For both franchises, it was about setting a clear new course for the future. On the one hand, the Pelicans add a new strong man to their major five, around CJ McCollum, Brandon Ingram and of course Zion Williamson. The arrival of Dejounte Murray should help the Pelicans climb the hierarchy in the West.

For the Hawks, a new beginning is looming. The failure of the Young-Murray association was clearly identified at the end of a two-season collaboration which did not bear fruit, with a setback in the first round in 2023 and a failure in the play-in this season. The departure of Dejounte Murray and the Draft of Zaccharie Risacher are an opportunity to bring new blood to a squad which is still looking for the right configuration. Atlanta therefore recovers two interesting defensive “role players” with interior Larry Nance Jr and Dyson Daniels, without forgetting two more future first rounds of the Draft to complete its system in the future.

It now remains to be seen what the two franchises will do with the rest of their summer and whether big movements are still to be expected, which could be the case, in New Orleans as in Atlanta… READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Halftime show: Fifa is planning an event like in football at the next World Cup final

Published

In American football, the halftime show has long been part of the event. Appearances during the break have not been an issue in football so far – but that will change at the next World Cup.

Anyone who goes to the toilet or refills chips during half-time at the next World Cup final will miss something: As the world football association Fifa announces, from the next World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico there will be a half-time show in the final. What exactly the association is planning is still very vaguely worded in the announcement. FIFA is probably planning a musical performance modeled on the Superbowl in American football: This so-called half time show is probably the biggest stage that musicians have had so far. In recent years, megastars such as Coldplay, Rihanna and Bruno Mars have appeared at halftime.

FIFA wants to organize a halftime show together with an aid organization

Global Citizen acts as co-organizer. The aid organization is committed to combating extreme poverty around the world. “FIFA has made it its mission to promote football in all countries of the world and thereby have a positive influence on society,” explains the controversial FIFA President Gianni Infantino.

Through this partnership, FIFA, together with Global Citizen, will unite the world of sports and entertainment to actively contribute to a better world. “We are committed to a series of joint actions that promote access to the game and encourage fans to advocate for positive change in their local communities,” Infantino continued. However, the association leaves it open exactly how a halftime show during the World Cup final should support Global Citizen or combat poverty in the world.

“Eventization” of football is met with rejection in Germany

If FIFA presents an act as big as the NFL at the Superbowl, the football halftime show would actually immediately be in the same league as its US counterparts. In the USA, the show is one of the absolute highlights of the football final. It remains to be seen whether such a show will be received so positively by football fans who are more used to a simpler presentation of their sport.

In Europe and especially in Germany, the organized fan scene is extremely critical of the additional commercialization and “eventization” of sport. A resonant example is Helene Fischer’s act before the 2017 DFB Cup final. The artist was booed so mercilessly and loudly during her short appearance that her singing on the television was difficult to understand at times.

Difficult to find two courses as dissimilar as those of Ugo Humbert and Arthur Fils at the ATP 500 in Tokyo, but the rectilinear trajectory of the first will still cross the fractured line of the second, in the final, this Tuesday. Despite losing his first set of the week, Humbert (19th in the world) qualified without too much difficulty by beating Tomas Machac (54th) 6-3, 3-6, 6-2. After having fought like a madman to eliminate Taylor Fritz and especially Ben Shelton, Son went through two tie-breaks with forceps to subdue Holger Rune. One wanders, the other suffers, but we will be treated to a happy ending. Even with a seven-hour time difference with France, this is a pleasure that we won’t shy away from.
