Avalanche general manager Chris MacFarland: Gabriel Landeskog uncertainty didn’t impact how Avs handled trade deadline

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:53:35 GMT

There are two schools of hindsight bias regarding the Avalanche’s 2023 trade deadline.First is the notion that if Chris MacFarland and the front office had known Gabriel Landeskog would be out for the year, then they could’ve, would’ve, should’ve made a bigger splash at the deadline to make use of his LTIR salary cap space.Second is the rebuttal that without absolute confidence in Landeskog returning, it would have been risky, superfluous or even nonsensical to sacrifice more future assets on a win-now mentality. The captain’s out anyway; why spend for a rental?As for MacFarland himself, he’s not taking the easy excuse that was available to him if he just wanted to appease the “trade for Ryan O’Reilly” crowd. The Avalanche general manager said Sunday that the uncertainty surrounding Landeskog had no effect on how Colorado navigated the deadline, dispelling that first theory.In fact, he indicated he was starting to get an idea by ...

Warriors notebook: Team blames rebounding for Game 1 loss, but what about on offense?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:53:35 GMT

SACRAMENTO — The Warriors canceled their practice Sunday following their loss to the Kings in Game 1. Instead, they holed up in the team hotel to look over film. Perhaps the adjustments necessary for Game 2 warranted a lengthy discussion over another walk-through.Head coach Steve Kerr, Gary Payton II and Klay Thompson emphasized their defensive lapses and failures on the offensive boards as the reason for their loss. They were out-rebounded on the offensive boards 17 to 9, often missing box outs and ceding the second-chance points that got De’Aaron Fox hot.“Rebound and limit our fouling,” Thompson said. “When you give that team any second chance opportunities they’re going to convert so that was an emphasis.”But the series could turn if the Warriors capitalize against the Kings’ league-worst defense. The Warriors found plenty of success in the first half getting into the paint, finding comfortable shots with little resistance form Doma...

Warriors back E-40 after Game 1 ejection; rapper alleges he was tossed as result of racial bias

SACRAMENTO — Several Golden State players voiced support for E-40 one day after the Bay Area hip-hop legend was tossed from Game 1 of the Warriors-Kings series as a result of what he said was “racial bias” from security guards.Klay Thompson on Sunday said it was “very weird to see” E-40, a devout Warriors fan, get kicked out from his usual seats near the team’s bench in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s game against the Kings.“In my time, knowing him, he’s always been respectful,” Thompson said after a team meeting. “He’s always been considerate of those around him.”Several videos that circulated social media Saturday night showed E-40, whose real name is Earl Tywone Stevens Sr., talking to Golden 1 Center security before leaving his baseline seats. At one point, a member of the Warriors security team steps in to help de-escalate the situation before E-40 was escorted out through the tunnel, with Golden Sta...
