DeMar DeRozan Thought His Lakers Deal During Free Agency Period Was Set
DeMar DeRozan joined Alex Caruso in opening up on his previously potential Los Angeles Lakers deal during the NBA free agency period. In a talk with Yahoo Sports‘ Chris Haynes, the forward discussed the initial possibility that fell through and how it turned out quite well with the Chicago Bulls. DeRozan indicated that he thought that the contract was already a “done deal,” before the Lakers eventually traded Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Montrezl Harrell, Kyle Kuzma and the draft rights to Isaiah Jackson for Russell Westbrook and three future second-round picks from the Washington Wizards. “I felt like going to the Lakers was a done deal and that we were going to figure it out. I was going to come home,” said DeRozan. “The business side of things just didn’t work out. A couple of things ...
Staples Center Has Been Renamed to Crypto.com Arena
Staples Center, the home stadium for the Lakers, Clippers, Kings and Sparks, is getting a new name this Christmas. From December 25 onwards, the historic Los Angeles stadium will officially be known as Crypto.com Arena, with a new logo set to debut at the Lakers vs Nets Christmas home game. Crypto.com is a popular crypto exchange with an NFT section with over 10 million users, and partnerships deals with the likes of the UFC, Formula 1, PSG, Twitch Rivals, and the Lakers and Kings home teams. The exchange paid more than $700 million USD for 20 years of naming rights, which vastly overshadows Staples Inc.’s $100 million purchase for 10 years of naming rights in 1997. Staples later signed a deal to retain the rights in perpetuity before AEG bought the naming rights back for an undisclos...

Highly-rated midfielder could join Manchester United instead of Barcelona
Dani Olmo has been heavily linked with a move to Barcelona recently with the 23-year-old said to be very keen to return to Camp Nou. The attacking midfielder made it clear that he wanted to play for the Catalans when they tried to sign him in the summer.

And so he could decide to join United who are also very keen to secure his services, as per El Nacional. The attacking midfielder’s current contract at the Red Bull Arena is set to expire in 2024, having penned a four-year deal in 2020.
