⚽ WORLD CUP: LATE DRAMA EVERYWHERE

Yesterday's Round of 32 Results

The pattern: Both teams scored in ALL THREE games. Two draws in regulation. Two games to penalties. The trailing team won all 3 games.

⚽ Today's Round of 32 (To Advance)

Highest total: France/Sweden at 3.5 goals

⚽ USA Tomorrow

Wednesday, July 1st: USA vs Bosnia-Herzegovina

🏀 JA MORANT TRADED TO PORTLAND

The Deal

Memphis Grizzlies → Portland Trail Blazers

Portland's Point Guard Logjam

Scott: "All those players clearly don't belong on the floor together. They're gonna have to figure this out — maybe it's a precursor to another move. Maybe they go all in for Jaylen Brown."

Memphis Teardown Complete

The future: Cameron Boozer, Zach Edey, and others.

🏀 WARRIORS CHASING LEBRON + AD

The Rumors

• Golden State looking to add LeBron James (free agency)
• Also pursuing Anthony Davis (trade)
• Draymond Green declined $27.6M player option (frees cap space)
• If AD trade happens, Jimmy Butler likely involved

Lakers News

Jalen Duren (former Pistons C) meeting with Lakers to surround Luka Doncic.

Scott: "He absolutely disappeared in the playoffs for Detroit. Is that the type of player you want to give a bunch of money to?"

🏀 Free Agency Tonight

NBA free agency officially begins: 6 PM ET

⚾ COLBY'S HOT FIVE: JUNIOR CAMINERO MVP

The Bet

Caminero's Stats

Colby: "He's clearly a star in the making. If not already, he's arrived. The doubters of last year because he played at a minor league ballpark — we're wrong. It's okay to be wrong."

The Case

Colby: "If he leads the league in home runs, he potentially wins the AL MVP — granted the Rays win the East. 22/1 is a great price."

HR leader odds: 20/1 (just behind Hunter Goodman)

Colby: "I think the final three will be Junior, Yordan, and Kurtz."

⚾ HUNTER GOODMAN WATCH

Current HRs: Only 3 away from preseason total (27.5)

Colby: "That's a flex by me. Pat on my back. The home run leader bet is alive and well."

⚾ YANKEES: HISTORIC FUTILITY

The Streak

First time in franchise history: 3 or fewer hits in 4 straight games.

Result: Swept by Red Sox, lost 7-3 to Tigers

Colby's Rant

Colby: "Are we shocked the Yankees got swept by the Red Sox? That sounds like the most New York Yankees thing ever."

The cycle: "Aaron Judge will come back, put the team on his back, bring them to the postseason on a hot run, then get gassed because he had to carry the team once again. Then they're gonna collapse in the playoffs."

Colby: "They're an unserious organization despite making the postseason every year. Get rid of Boone. Please. Get rid of Cashman. Please."
