A trade for Durant that would require a historic haul of players and draft assets was cemented when the Utah Jazz scored an impressive four first-round picks plus players in return when they sent Rudy Gobert to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Phoenix Suns unwilling to include Mikal Bridges in a Kevin Durant trade On a Friday edition of “Brian Windhorst The Hoop Collective,” ESPN NBA insider Brian Windhorst spoke on a suggested four-team deal that would see Durant end up in Phoenix and include Ben Simmons going to Indiana.

British Open Odds Cameron Smith is currently in first place on the British Open leaderboard, and oddsmakers also have him priced as the favorite heading into the weekend at the Open Championship. He sits one shot ahead of the first-round leader Cameron Young and two shots ahead of the favorite Rory McILroy and Viktor Hovland, who charged up the leaderboard in the afternoon. According to a Reuters (h/t ESPN) piece, Williams will play in the National Bank Open held in Toronto that is scheduled to run from Aug. 6-15. After another incredible showing by him in today's second round, he is now the favorite to win The Open Championship, priced at +185. That implied he's gone from just a 3% chance to now a 35% chance of winning the final major in 2022 entering the weekend. After another outstanding day at St. Andrews, Australian Cam Smith sits alone at the top of the leaderboard at the conclusion of the second round of The Open Championship.
