Lakers offered Russ and a 1st. That wasn’t a serious offer. They clearly didn’t want to trade for Kyrie.

Anyone who says they can predict how it will work out with Kyrie in Dallas…hasn’t been paying attention the past couple years. But it’s sure gonna be a lot of fun to watch, and I love Dallas being aggressive to try to help Luka now.

NASA To Send Drone-Like Lander To Explore Saturn's Moon Titan
NASA has announced plans to deploy a drone-like lander to explore Saturn’s moon Titan. The vehicle, named Dragonfly, is set to launch in July 2028 with the mission aiming to explore multiple intriguing sites on Titan. The lander is set to arrive in 2034. The dual-quadcopter will be the first aircraft NASA operates for scientific exploration on another planetary body. It aims to investigate prebiotic chemical activities that might mirror those from Earth's early life-forming era. The eight-rotor rotorcraft is designed to operate like a drone, with construction and design being led by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland.

Stock market today: Wall Street limps toward its longest weekly losing streak since September
NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street’s latest losing week looks to be coming to a relatively quiet close on Friday. U.S. stocks are drifting in mixed trading after oil prices briefly surged overnight on worries about fighting in the Middle East. The S&P 500 was 0.2% lower in morning trading and on track for its third straight losing week. That would be its longest such streak since September, before it broke out into a record-setting romp. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 196 points, or 0.5%, as o

Israel's Iran attack carefully calibrated after internal splits, US pressure
Israel's apparent strike on Iran after days of prevarication was small and appeared calibrated to dial back risks of a major war, even if the sheer fact it happened at all shattered a taboo of direct attacks that Tehran broke days earlier. Netanyahu's war cabinet had initially approved plans for a strike on Monday night inside Iranian territory to respond forcefully to last Saturday's missile and drones from Iran, but held back at the last-minute, three sources with knowledge of the situation said. By then, the sources said, the three voting members of the war cabinet had already ruled out the most drastic response - a strike on strategic sites including Iran's nuclear facilities whose destruction would almost certainly provoke a wider regional conflict.

Oil analyst: Israel-Iran escalations not out of equation yet
Oil prices (BZ=F, CL=F) have been moving back and forth since Iran's attack on Israel last weekend, with Israel ultimately retaliating Thursday night and raising more concerns of further escalation. With tensions rising in the Middle East and the potential for conflict to spread, concerns over the impacts on global oil production have also been raised. Prosper Trading Academy CEO Scott Bauer joins The Morning Brief to discuss oil prices, the state of shipping in the Middle East, and impacts on consumers and investors alike. Bauer outlines what risks are at stake and what to keep in mind during these tense times: "The real risk of this is that the Strait of Hormuz closes down or consolidates at a point where we can't get crude through there because 20% of the world's supply passes through there, so that is the big risk. It's not a risk of Iran is not going to supply anything or oil is not going to still be pumped — it's the delivery. So that's number one. Number two, where do we go from here? I know people are pegging $100 [per barrel], I think that's just an easy number... and what we have to keep in mind is when the start of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine began, we saw oil prices spike all the way to $125, I don't see that happening."
