Klay Thompson signs with Heat on two-year deal, chasing historic 3-point mark

Klay Thompson cleared waivers and signed with the Miami Heat on a two-year, $11.5 million contract (second year a player option with a 15% trade kicker). The 36-year-old sharpshooter, who is fourth all-time in 3-pointers with 2,899, needs 75 more to pass Ray Allen for third, and is expected to boost Miami’s spacing for Bam Adebayo and, per the article, Giannis Antetokounmpo as part of a revamped Heat. Thompson spent the past two seasons with the Mavericks in a bench role before a buyout ended his stint; the Heat aim to contend for championships this season.

Ketel Marte's Absences Put Diamondbacks' Legacy at Risk

Arizona sports columnist Dan Bickley argues Ketel Marte’s repeated absences and recent off-field choices are eroding his Diamondbacks legacy, while the team remains financially tethered to a large contract through 2030. Manager Torey Lovullo’s balancing act, Marte’s casino-night outing, and the ensuing clubhouse frustration underscore a growing rift that could leave the franchise stuck with a diminished star and an uncertain future unless Marte reconciles, returns to the field, and restores trust.

Boeing white-collar workers reject four-year pact, signaling potential strike

Boeing engineers and technical workers represented by SPEEA rejected the four-year contract offer and gave their negotiating team authority to call a strike when the deal expires in October. The terms included inflation-linked pay raises capped at 3%, a point of contention since inflation in the Seattle area has outpaced that cap. A work stoppage could further delay Boeing’s certification efforts for the 737 Max 10 and 777-9.

Dodgers’ $240M Gamble Hits a Rough Patch as Tucker Slumps

The Dodgers gave Kyle Tucker a four-year, $240 million deal, but this season has seen a pronounced slump, especially at Dodger Stadium (0-for-23 dating into August, 60 wRC+ at home vs. 126 wRC+ on the road) that has drawn boos and raised questions about the contract. Defensive miscues and a rough home environment have compounded the struggles, though Tucker has been better on the road and the Dodgers still rely on a strong pitching staff and stars like Ohtani as they push toward the playoffs; without a breakthrough, a World Series run would be a major surprise given the investment.

McCaffrey not holding in for a contract, per Rapoport

Ian Rapoport debunks the idea that Christian McCaffrey is holding in for a new contract, saying his reported tightness is a routine issue and the timing is coincidental; he’s expected to be ready for Week 1, keeping him a top fantasy RB when healthy.

City Rejects Barca’s Opening Bid as Rodri’s Future Hangs in the Balance

Manchester City have turned down Barcelona’s opening £38.5m bid for Rodri, insisting the fee will need to be well above £60m as the Spaniard nears the end of his contract. Barca are in talks after gaining the player’s approval to negotiate, while Real Madrid talks have cooled. City are looking to resolve Rodri’s future quickly and are also pursuing a potential replacement, with Lille’s 18-year-old Ayyoub Bouaddi linked despite Lille’s £86m asking price.

Gibbs’ hold-in fuels contract chatter as Lions call back issue minor

Jahmyr Gibbs missed his fifth straight Detroit Lions training-camp practice and offered little on when he'll return, saying the hold-in isn’t about a new contract. Lions coach Dan Campbell said Gibbs reported a minor back injury at conditioning, and Gibbs has been around the facility for weight room work and film sessions while the team weighs long-term deals for Gibbs and other 2023 picks; Gibbs is on a rookie deal worth about $3.183 million this season with two years left.

CBS Resentment Over Romo's $180M Leverage Sparks Uncertain Booth Return

Colin Cowherd contends CBS resented Tony Romo for leveraging a 10-year, $180 million contract, a friction he says predates Romo’s OWI arrest; ESPN pursued Romo for MNF, CBS reportedly held an intervention in 2023, and with the arrest, JJ Watt will replace Romo in the lead NFL booth, leaving Romo’s return uncertain.

Ali Says Marvel Could Have Pushed Blade If They Wanted To

Mahershala Ali claims Blade never happened because Marvel didn’t push it despite his contract and the studio’s billions; Marvel chief Kevin Feige later said the project stalled as the script wasn’t deemed ‘insanely great’ enough. Ali has since teamed with Bassam Tariq on a separate Amazon MGM action film and says he’s moved on, noting that if Marvel had really wanted Blade, they would have done it.

Romo’s CBS Paycheck Hits a Snag as DUI Arrest Reshapes Broadcast Future

CBS paused Tony Romo’s duties after his arrest for operating a vehicle while intoxicated, throwing a spotlight on his 10-year, $180 million deal and potentially making it the worst contract in sports media history. A traffic-stop video and witnesses have raised questions about his consistency and work ethic, fueling talks of a demotion or a return on a different crew if he can rebound on- and off-air. CBS has already shifted responsibilities to other broadcasters and will watch Romo’s recovery ahead of key moments like the September schedule and the 2028 Super Bowl, with a court date in Wisconsin on Sept. 21 and a long road to re-entry if he’s to reclaim his role.
