Ben Williamson has only been on the Seattle Mariners’ roster for three weeks
Why ESPN’s Buster Olney believes in Edgar’s impact on M’s
That’s owed to how well Williamson has done so far in at the big league level
belying his full pro experience of 166 games – including in the minors – that just recently passed what covers a full MLB season
The 24-year-old third baseman has fit right in with the Mariners
hitting .242 with a home run and three doubles in 16 games – and that’s only after a few hitless games over the last week drove his average down from .310 through his first 11 contests
Williamson is also a very capable third baseman defensively
to the point that it’s not rare to read his name and the words “Gold Glove potential” next to each other
Mariners rookie Ben Williamson makes jaw-dropping catch
Maturity seems to an important element of Williamson’s personality
and his even-keel nature was on display right from the moment that the Mariners picked him in the third round of the 2023 MLB Draft out of Virginia’s College of William and Mary
On an episode of The Wheelhouse podcast released on Saturday
Mariners president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto detailed the humorous conversation that Mariners director of amateur scouting Scott Hunter had on a video call with Williamson to tell him he had been taken with one of the last picks on the first night of that draft
Here’s a summation of how Dipoto said the conversation went
with Williamson speaking in a hushed tone while sitting in the dark while the Mariners’ draft room was abuzz following three first-round picks
its Scott Hunter with the Seattle Mariners
• Hunter: “We just took you in the second round
• Hunter: “Are you sitting in the dark?”
I’m at my parents’ – they’re upstairs sleeping.”
• Hunter: “You might want to go wake them up.”
they’ve got work in the morning.”
they do say in sports to act live you’re been there before
While the Mariners were the team to take Williamson with the 57th overall pick, his status as a college senior who could be signed “under slot” – less than the assigned bonus for their slot in the draft – apparently made him a popular name around the league
“We got a lot of angry texts after we popped him in the second round,” Dipoto said
“because there were a number of teams that that had their sights set on him in order to do creative things in the draft
… We actually had him in a pretty prominent place on our board
and hopefully time tells us that we had him in the right place
but we had some people in the room arguing that they thought he was a first-round talent on his own (who) just so happened to be a senior.”
Dipoto pointed to a few other things that speak to why Williamson was able to hit the ground running with the Mariners after getting called up with just 14 games at Triple-A under his belt
“Since the day he stepped out on a field (after signing with the Mariners)… he has been one of the most consistent people that we’ve had in our organization,” Dipoto said
If he’s not out on the field or in the cages
“We saw it in spring training – he had a really good spring
and he just absorbed as much as he could.”
What the Mariners saw from Williamson this spring included him running in a different kind of circle than most players with his level of experience tend to
he was always hovering around the veteran hitters
trying to pull whatever he could from them,” Dipoto continued
“And more often with guys who are in their first big league camp or they’re coming in (from the minors)
they’ll pool up with the other guys who are in their circumstance
And Ben didn’t do that in the spring
he spent a lot of time around the veteran hitters… And it gave him a level of comfort when he got his call up.”

most of the league is now in the offseason
with a lot of decisions to be made and to come
One of those teams that will be taking time to evaluate their roster this offseason is the New Orleans Pelicans
who are now under the new leadership of Joe Dumars
Following up on one of their best years in franchise history in the 2023-24 season
the Pelicans watched injuries derail their season as they are set to have the fourth-best odds to select first overall in the 2025 NBA Draft
the biggest talking point remains the future of star Zion Williamson
and a new report suggests where he could be on his way to
REPORT: The Pelicans are “keeping close tabs” on Giannis’ situation in Milwaukee, per @ScoopB.“I’m told Zion could very well be on the table in a potential Giannis deal if Milwaukee chooses to explore trade options.” pic.twitter.com/VNvfks6ufM
According to NBA Insider Brandon "Scoop B" Robinson
the Pelicans are keeping an eye out on Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo's situation following his first-round exit
After the Bucks won the NBA Finals in 2021
they've now lost in the first round for three straight seasons
Giannis Antetokounmpo reportedly enjoys New York, owns multiple businesses there, and is reportedly viewed by the Brooklyn Nets as a ‘prime target,’ per @NYPost_Lewis pic.twitter.com/S0pxgT3jyd
While the Pelicans do have Milwaukee's 2027 first-round pick and the rights to swap in 2026 as intriguing assets
plenty of other teams around the league will also be willing to shell out whatever is needed if Antetokounmpo becomes available
But if the Bucks do decide to embrace a rebuild and tank
a deal with the Pelicans makes sense to gain control of their picks back and bring in Williamson
who has proven he's a star in this league when he's healthy

Ben Williamson wasn’t sure he’d be able to make the play at first Friday night
I didn’t think I had a chance,” the Mariners rookie third baseman said Saturday afternoon
“I just put my head down and ran and I looked up and the ball was within reach
so I just dove and the ball just ended up in my glove.”
Williamson’s over-the-shoulder diving catch in shallow left field was featured as the No
3 highlight on “SportsCenter’s” Top 10 list Friday night
Mariners pitcher Bryan Woo might have had the best reaction on the field — a genuine look of shock and awe
“It wasn’t just the catch — it was the dismount and the way he rolled over,” Woo said Saturday
Ben Williamson makes an unbelievable leaping grab 😮 pic.twitter.com/rarUvDSuGQ
Woo said he was just as impressed with the leaping catch second baseman Miles Mastrobuoni made later in the game too
The Mariners already have a one-time Gold Glove winner at shortstop in J.P
Williamson is showing he might have a golden hue in his future
The left side of the M’s infield suddenly looks especially steady — a good feeling for any pitching staff
“We’ve obviously always had confidence in our defense,” Woo said
I’m very reliant on the defense and letting them work

There’s the classic image we see all the time on TV during a pro sports draft
an in-home camera capturing an athlete on the couch
surrounded by family and friends for a once-in-a-lifetime celebration
hugs galore and jubilation all around during a dream-come-true moment
and it’s part of what we love about sports
No matter how many times we see that scene
there’s a basic human element we connect with — the pure joy of watching someone achieve something for which they’ve worked so hard
It was not a classic experience for him or his family
was in the dark when the Seattle Mariners selected him in the second round of the MLB draft on July 9
It’s one of Scott Hunter’s favorite draft-day stories
the Mariners’ vice president of amateur scouting
He’s the person who calls each draft pick to notify them that the Seattle Mariners have selected them
Hunter always calls on FaceTime — he wants to see their reaction and wants them to see the reaction from the 50-some people inside the Mariners draft room
on that Sunday night at his parent’s home in Chantilly
Williamson woke up when the white noise sounds on his phone stopped playing
They stopped because his phone was buzzing — a call from his agent
Williamson answered and Cook broke the news: Ben
The only real emotion Williamson felt was confusion
threw on the first top — a black hoodie — he found in his closet and hustled to wake his dad
who had fallen asleep on the basement couch while watching the draft
“Are you pulling my leg?” Andy remembered asking his son
and the family quickly gathered in front of the basement TV
Hunter’s FaceTime call to Williamson came in soon after that
“He picks up the phone and he’s in a hooded sweatshirt in a dark room
“I almost wanted to ask him to blink if he needed help.”
The shock of the moment for Williamson and his parents also turned into perhaps the biggest shock of the first day of the draft
The 2023 MLB draft was staged at Seattle’s Lumen Field
as part of the 2023 MLB All-Star Weekend at T-Mobile Park
and when the hometown team selected a senior third baseman out of the College of William & Mary with the No
the selection was greeted with a resounding
“This is not a guy who was ranked in the top 200 — by anyone. A bit of a surprise.” Those were among the first things said about Williamson’s selection on the MLB Network broadcast
All of which was quite amusing to the Williamson family now watching the broadcast back in Virginia
still trying to process what was happening in real time
“We found that funny,” Andy Williamson said
“You could tell they were scrambling to find something to say about Ben.”
A late bloomer through high school and college
Williamson was drafted way earlier than anyone around him expected
way earlier than anyone could have reasonably expected too
Kevin Seitzer isn’t scrambling to find something to say about Williamson now
The Mariners’ new hitting coach is raving about the Mariners’ new third baseman
and about Williamson’s mature approach at the plate in particular
This goes back to the early days of spring training in February
when Seitzer and Williamson were in their first camp together
Seitzer was struck by Williamson’s ability to send line drive after line drive to right field in batting practice
It’s that opposite-field approach that Seitzer and Edgar Martinez
have messaged consistently to Mariners hitters
and Williamson came into his first big-league camp seemingly doing it with ease
“Just keep doing what you’re doing,” Seitzer told him
has impressed teammates and coaches in his first two weeks with the Mariners
filling a sizable hole at third base for an injury-riddled roster
He arrived after just 150 games in the minor leagues — the fewest appearances by a Mariners position player before his big-league debut in 12 years — and he’s living up to his reputation as a defensive wizard
And while there were real questions about how well his bat would play against major-league pitching
He singled in his first big-league at-bat in Cincinnati on April 15
and three days later he hit his first home run (in Toronto)
Through 53 plate appearances entering Friday’s series opener against the Texas Rangers
Williamson was hitting .260 with a .662 OPS and a 99 OPS+ (100 is league average)
Ben Williamson rips his first big league hit for the @Mariners at 105.8 mph!A moment the club's 2023 second-rounder out of @WMTribeBaseball will never forget: pic.twitter.com/dipKpEcqX7
He’s been working closely with Adam Bernero
and strength coaches to find a daily routine that suits him
and he’s tried to follow the lead of veteran shortstop J.P
“He shows up at the field every day and does the same thing every day,” Williamson said of Crawford
so why should I change what I’ve been doing my whole life?”
After Williamson was promoted to the big leagues two weeks ago
Hunter went back and reread the 2023 scouting reports
Hunter said Williamson had a grade of at least 50 (big-league average) in every area except one
Williamson drew comparisons to former Mariners third basemen David Bell and Jeff Cirillo
“If he hits for a little more power than we think he can
because of the defense and everything else he can do,” Hunter said
“And I hate to put that kind of pressure on him
but he does so many things that we want our hitters to do
and then he hits a home run his first week in the big leagues
So Ben is making us look really smart right now.”
There are prospects the “nerds” love and there are prospects the traditional scouts love
the two branches for talent evaluation in modern baseball
There are the new-age analysts who spend much of their time on their laptops breaking down data points
the stuff you’d find on MLB’s Baseball Savant website)
And there are old-school talent evaluators who rack up frequent-flyer miles and scour the various corners of the country to scout ballplayers in person
sizing up a prospect’s physical makeup and future potential as a pro (basically
Good organizations should value opinions from both departments
another prospect in the 2023 draft that divided the Mariners brass during the pre-draft process
The scouts who evaluated University of Pittsburgh pitcher Logan Evans offered a firm “no/do not draft” in their reports
The analysts who dug into the data were intrigued by the pitch shapes in Evans’ deep repertoire
The Mariners ended up drafting Evans in the 12th round
a low-risk flyer on a pitcher who had a 5.88 ERA in his final college season
Evans had blossomed into a Top 100 prospect in the sport
and last Sunday he won his major-league debut in Seattle
becoming the second player from the Mariners’ 2023 draft to reach the big leagues
and he serves as an example of a prospect who had gained overwhelming consensus among scouts and analysts
“It usually doesn’t happen like that,” Dave Cameron
the Mariners’ senior director of player procurement
It’s not often you have everyone agreeing like we did with Ben.”
College seniors are generally overlooked and undervalued
and that’s probably truer for prospects at mid-major schools
if they were good enough to be real pro prospects
they would have been selected when they’re initially eligible as a junior
Williamson was not drafted after his junior year at William & Mary
That motivated him to make some changes that offseason — he added about 10-15 pounds “living in the weight room,” his father said — and he was named the conference player of the year after hitting .390 with 12 homers
who had evaluated Williamson in games were bullish on his makeup and athleticism
Holub reported Williamson was the best defensive third baseman he’d ever scouted in college
Cameron and lead analyst Spencer Weisberg were confident Williamson’s hitting metrics — his swing decisions and his 87% contact rate
in particular — supported the strength of his senior-year breakthrough at William & Mary
when everyone is looking for power and velocity
And where Evans serves as the latest in a long line of pitching prospects the Mariners have drafted and developed into big-leaguers — following Logan Gilbert
among others — Williamson represents the first hitter from a swelling wave of young sluggers on track to arrive in Seattle over the next couple years
the Mariners took three big swings with their first picks — taking all high-school position players (Colt Emerson
With the structure of the MLB draft system
each pick selection has an assigned signing bonus value
MLB draft picks can negotiate for larger bonuses
and high-school prospects have leverage to do so because they can go to college if they don’t get the bonus they want from an MLB team
That was the case with the Mariners’ three high-school picks
all of whom signed for well over slot value
up from the pick value of just under $3.5 million.)
With a set amount to spend — assigned by the MLB for each team before the draft
calculated by draft position — the Mariners knew they had to “save” bonus money elsewhere in the draft
Which is part of the reason they took Williamson with their final pick on Day 1 of the draft
The Mariners had projected Williamson in the Round 3-5 range
but they were able to sign him for $600,000
the Mariners got a prospect virtually everyone in their draft room agreed was undervalued in the industry
and Williamson has quickly proven he was worth it
After growing up in the classroom with his music teacher father
it was Buffalo State’s creative studies program that helped him merge his love for creativity with his passion for educating
Williamson fuses creativity into his roles as assistant principal at Elmwood Village Charter School and a creativity consultant for various educational organizations
He was recently recognized on Buffalo Business First’s 40 Under 40 List
a distinction that honors those who have distinguished themselves in their companies
their communities and their industries before their fortieth birthdays
Williamson graciously gave a few moments of his time to reflect on his Buffalo State journey
When and how did you know that education was the right fit for you?I've always been in education
so I grew up with him being in my elementary school—you spend a lot of time with teachers when you're waiting for them to finish up their day and things like that
How and why did you choose to come to Buffalo State?I've always had a passion for giving back to the community that gave to me
I started teaching theater with little kids
then moved to higher education at Fredonia
“How can I apply this back on the home level?” I wanted to figure out how I could bring creativity into education
and Buffalo State’s creative studies program piqued my interest.I took the first class
“How are you going to apply this to your life?” I started thinking about creativity fit into education and what I was already doing
a poet—my world has always been surrounded in creativity—but to be able to put a name to it
How did Buffalo State support you on your path to becoming a teacher?I went to my professors and I told them I wanted to focus on and figure out how creativity fits not just in the classroom
which is what I'm more about now as an assistant principal
I've found that teachers don’t often think about creative solutions
but if you have someone who's there to primarily focus on that
They were impressed with the idea and some of them were already doing research in it
so we were able to work together to kind of build what that can look like
What lesson from Buffalo State has stayed with you?Sometimes things don't go the exactly the way you expect them to
It’s about understanding what's happening around you and then knowing that things aren't always going to go exactly how you plan them to
but you still have the opportunity to make the most of it
My professors would explain how they were able to make differences in bigger organizations than I’d ever worked with
What advice do you have for new teachers?Find an outlet outside of school
You need something that is going to help you recharge
It’s an exhausting job; it takes a lot out of you
Remember you're doing it for the kids,” and that’s a given
but remember that you can't pour from an empty cup
Find that outlet and don't give it up for anything

Rabbit found impaled on the Williamson Herald owners' front lawn
Incident raises questions amid contentious Brentwood election cycle
A dead rabbit was impaled and left in the front yard of Brentwood residents Derby and Cassie Jones
who also own and publish the Williamson Herald and Southern Exposure Magazine
in what they believe is an act of attempted intimidation during a heated election season
The Joneses found the rabbit which had been impaled with the stake of a garden banner in their front yard while on a morning walk on Thursday
They filed a report with the Brentwood Police Department
but police have not yet confirmed that they are investigating the incident as a crime
In part because it’s unclear if someone killed the rabbit as part of the act and because there is no clear motive or suspect at this time
the Joneses believe this was more than a prank with Derby Jones telling the Williamson Scene that the rabbit showed no other obvious signs of physical wounds
"The publishers of the Williamson Herald will not be intimidated by acts of violence
truthful and newsworthy stories about our community,” Derby Jones said in a statement to the Williamson Scene
we are deeply saddened [that] someone would commit an act of animal cruelty as a way to silence and intimidate us
“Such actions undermine the fundamental right to freedom of the press
a cornerstone of a healthy democracy and essential for an informed public
We will continue to uphold the principles of freedom of expression and hold those who seek to silence the media accountable."

A Wichita Falls man has been sentenced to six years in prison after he pleaded guilty Friday to sexually assaulting an underage girl
was being held Monday in Wichita County Jail
Williamson pleaded guilty to four counts of sexual assault prohibited/purport spouse of a 16-year-old victim that occurred in November 2019
That's a charge under a Texas law that allows a person suspected of sexual assault to have charges upgraded to a first-degree felony because of the accuser's relationship to the suspect
Thirtieth District Judge Jeff McKnight sentenced Williamson to six years for each count to run concurrently and credited him with 218 days he spent in the Wichita County Jail following his arrest in November 2023
A first degree felony is punishable by 5 to 99 years or life in prison
the girl told investigators Williamson gave her alcohol and marijuana
and she later discovered he was mixing in hydrocodone to make her pass out

The partnerships between the Fairview Family and Community Education (FCE) and other Fairview volunteer organizations and businesses are strong and ongoing
At the close of the Friends of Bowie Park April meeting
Treasurer Merry Keyser accepted a check on behalf of the Friends from FCE President Fran Hammond for scholarships for the Camp Bowie Summer Camps
This partnership was initiated several years ago when the Fairview Family and Community Education organization donated significant funds towards the Bowie Nature Park playground
pastor of Westview Congregational Methodist Church
This is a cooperative effort led by Carol McClure
family physician at Dickson Medical Associates
FCE members create handcrafted Christmas ornaments which are displayed on a Christmas tree in Dr
The money collected from the ornament sales are then donated to the community food pantry at Westview Methodist Church
There is also a long-standing partnership of FCE with the Fairview Library Branch and the Friends of the Fairview Library
The Fairview Family and Community Education (FCE) Club started the Fairview Library and has supported the local library for the past sixty-one years
Presently the FCE members sponsor semi-annual bake sales during the Friends of the Fairview Library book sale
donating the sales back to the Fairview Library
Each one of these partnerships supports the FCE mission: “To strengthen the home and community by improving the quality of life of individuals and families through continuing education
and community service.” These donations support families and education
The Association for Family and Community Education (FCE) is an organization of volunteers who work together to build strong families and communities
Educational materials are created and utilized to strengthen the knowledge and expertise of the members
Resources are provided to develop leadership skills
FCE strives to make our homes and communities a better place in which to live
The Fairview Family and Community Education (FCE) meets monthly at 10 a.m
on the second Friday of each month at the Fairview Recreation Center with an educational program
and refreshments with a time for socializing
debates have already begun on if the front office should seek some major win-now upgrades
By far the biggest takeaway from the Pistons this season was Cade Cunningham cementing himself as a star-level talent in the NBA
1 pick shined all year and put together an impressive postseason debut
While he's proven capable of being the primary pillar for the franchise
it remains unclear if the roster has a talent capable of being his running mate
Jaden Ivey showed a lot of promise this season but suffered what became a season-ending injury in January
When it comes to possible co-stars for Cunningham, Zion Williamson is a name that has been tossed around at times. Over the weekend, a possible trade framework for the New Orleans Pelicans star began making the rounds on social media
Ron Holland and a pair of first-round picks for the All-Star forward
Imagine Cade x ZION 🤯Should the Pistons & Pelicans make this trade to unite the former No.1 overall picks in Detroit? 🤔#DetroitBasketball | #Pelicans pic.twitter.com/obah5VRzyu
Williamson would be an exciting star to pair with Cunningham
The two impact the game in a variety of ways
and could create one of the league's deadliest pick-and-roll combinations
the thought of Williamson has been far better than the reality in recent years
Williamson is fresh off playing in 30 or fewer games for the fourth time since being drafted No
this is a bit of a risky move for the Pistons
While they aren't paying a steep price
they're still rolling the dice on a star who hasn't proven he can consistently be available
Trajan Langdon would be far better off pursuing other avenues to improve the roster around Cunningham

The Greek Freak will undoubtedly be the most talked-about player this summer
as his future in Milwaukee remains unclear
Antetokounmpo has had shortcomings after shortcomings
he has yet to make it past the second round for three consecutive seasons; he has yet to make it past the first round
Not all of it is Antetokounmpo's fault
it raises the question of whether a fresh new start would be best for the 30-year-old
We'll have the answers to that question in the coming months
pundits and insiders are creating trade scenarios for the best lading spots for Antetokounmpo
Anything and everything could happen if the Bucks make a player like Antetokounmpo available. In one trade scenario, Eric Nehm, David Aldridge, Eric Koreen, Tony Jones, and Sam Vecenie of The Athletic created this trade scenario where the Bucks land two-time All-Star Zion Williamon in a massive package
the Bucks collect Williamson plus Keldon Johnson
2027 first-round pick swap rights (Pelicans)
The Spurs get the big fish in Antetokounmpo in this scenario
If the Bucks have no choice but to trade Giannis
they make a multi-team deal that gets them a potential superstar to build around in the still-just-24-year-old Williamson and a rotational wing in Johnson
they get a whole lot of future firsts to give them a chance to rebuild if Williamson can’t overcome his history of injuries
including a ’25 pick at the back of the lottery
and potential control of their own first back in ’27
just as Williamson is entering the last year of his current deal."
two-time MVP is far from ideal for Milwaukee
the only viable path to replenishing their future may come through trading their franchise cornerstone
The Bucks now find themselves in a difficult position—neither contending nor rebuilding—often considered the toughest spot in professional sports
While parting ways with Antetokounmpo is not something the organization would take lightly
it may ultimately serve as the most effective route toward a long-term reset

Strong and surprising NBA rumors emerge about a possible exchange between the Pelicans and the Bucks this summer
Many ideas are circulating in NBA rumors about the future of Giannis Antetokounmpo after the early elimination of the Milwaukee Bucks and the feeling that the project has come to an end
One of the most surprising rumors that has emerged in recent hours involves Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans
Months of incessant NBA rumors lie ahead regarding the possible destinations for Giannis Antetokounmpo in the league
as he is considered to have many options to leave the Milwaukee Bucks
The Greek player feels that his time with the team where he won the championship has come to an end and that it is time for a change of scenery
The challenge lies in finding a franchise with the right financial and sporting conditions to handle his transfer
One of these destinations could be the New Orleans Pelicans
a team that is desperately seeking the departure of Zion Williamson
The situation between player and franchise is very strained and needs to be resolved quickly to avoid worsening matters
The Louisiana team aims for greatness and knows that they could maintain their core of Ingram and McCollum around Giannis Antetokounmpo
positioning themselves as contenders for everything
Whether this idea will come to fruition remains to be seen
This news is an automatic translation. You can read the original news, Zion Williamson podría tener la llave para el futuro de Antetokounmpo
a body was reported near the Saturn Parkway ramp to Port Royal Road
was found dead with visible injuries to her face and neck
An autopsy confirmed she had been strangled
Investigators initially suspected that McCall may have been traveling with a semi-truck driver when she was killed
A break in the case came in 2019 when DNA from the crime scene matched Clark Baldwin
That same DNA was also linked to two 1992 murder cases in Wyoming
Investigators noticed a pattern: the victims had been picked up by a truck driver and were attacked when they tried to leave
Baldwin was also tied to a kidnapping attempt in Texas
Baldwin was arrested in Iowa in May 2020 and brought to Tennessee to face two murder charges for killing Pamela McCall and her unborn child
“I don’t remember,” according to investigator Tommy Goetz
a jury found Baldwin guilty after four hours of deliberation
He was sentenced to life in prison and is being held in Maury County

President Donald Trump has proposed implementing a 100% tariff on films produced outside the United States
made through his Truth Social platform on Sunday
characterized foreign tax incentives drawing Hollywood productions overseas as a threat to national security
"The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death," Trump wrote on Truth Social
The president described international filmmaking incentives as "a concerted effort by other Nations and
The practical application of such tariffs remains unclear since movies aren't physical goods that pass through customs like typical tariffed items
Trump's administration would need to establish methods for valuing films and determining what threshold would classify them as imports
If other nations imposed reciprocal tariffs in response
the impact on Hollywood studios could be devastating since most big-budget films generate the majority of their revenue from international markets
The American film industry maintained a $15.3 billion trade surplus in 2023 and generated positive trade balances with every major foreign market
according to a Motion Picture Association report
Trump directed the Commerce Department and US Trade Representative to "immediately begin the process" of implementing the 100% tariff
US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick responded quickly on X
including "Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning" and "Jurassic World Rebirth," were produced primarily or entirely outside the US
London has emerged as a particularly attractive production hub due to tax incentives
with Disney's Marvel Studios currently shooting upcoming Avengers sequels there
Research firm ProdPro data indicates total spending on US film and television productions with budgets exceeding $40 million fell 26% last year compared to two years earlier
production spending increased in both the UK and Canada
though neither market has surpassed US levels
and Sylvester Stallone as his "special ambassadors" to Hollywood
tasking them with helping reclaim film industry business lost to foreign countries
"These three very talented people will be my eyes and ears
and I will get it done what they suggest," Trump stated
Questions persist about whether the measures would extend to streaming service content in addition to theatrical releases
and which financial metrics – production expenses or theatrical earnings – would serve as the basis for tariff calculations
the organization representing major studios
offered no immediate response when contacted
"I don't think we should be bombing foreign countries on behalf of other foreign countries

the offseason has been well underway for the New Orleans Pelicans
They've wasted no time getting busy either
they've already fired former Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations David Griffin
replaced him with Detroit Pistons legend Joe Dumars
and hired a new number two for Dumars in Troy Weaver
Like the other 13 teams that didn't make the playoffs
All of this front office movement came as a result of their awful showing in the 2024-25 NBA season that saw them go just 21-61 despite entering the year hoping to make a deep playoff run
the Pelicans are at the dawn of perhaps the most crucial offseason in franchise history
then they have their work cut out for them to build the ideal roster around him
This emerging free agent center is a great place to start
This past season, we learned a few things. After trading for Kelly Olynyk, it became abundantly clear how effective Zion can be when surrounded by shooters
freed from the shackles of having to play alongside another plodding big man who could only play inside the paint
but those couple of months with Olynyk confirmed it
that the benefits of having a floor-spacing big on the court are completely negated if neither of the big men is a rim protector
New Orleans often bled more points than they poured in with Z and Kelly in the same lineup
or Head Coach Willie Green was forced to play both of them alongside another center like Yves Missi
That's why the Pelicans need to continue their search for a true stretch five
one that can aptly threaten opposing defenses from deep and protect New Orleans's paint at the same time
there's a perfect option hitting the open market this summer
The Milwaukee Bucks are on the verge of a franchise teardown
With Damian Lillard tearing his Achilles this late in the year
he'll likely miss the entirety of next season
especially considering his advanced age for a small guard in the NBA
With virtually zero chance for them to contend for a title next year
there's almost no reason why the Bucks would re-sign Brook Lopez this summer
who's set to enter unrestricted free agency
a rookie center who just came off a freshman season
He might not be ready to anchor a playoff-caliber defense full-time
but he's certainly ready to handle heavy minutes
That makes Brook Lopez the perfect target for New Orleans
The former champion will turn 38 years old next April
He's still playing drop defense at an elite level while knocking down triples consistently
but he's only good for around 18-25 minutes a night now
He would be the perfect bridge to allow Missi to grow into his adult body while providing Zion Williamson with the stretch five he's always needed
