Players can wear any design they want, so long as it doesn't depict commercialized or trademarked logos, other than the league-approved footwear brands like Nike, Under Armour and Adidas.

  14. It had been a while since we'd heard any update on the bombshell trade request Kyrie Irving made to the Cleveland Cavaliers, but that changed Tuesday morning with Adrian Wojnarowski's monster report that brought everything up to speed.
    The biggest update was that the Cavs are operating on the assumption that LeBron James is leaving next summer, which is driving their desire to get a young star back in return for Irving, instead of say, a few solid veterans to put around James. Related to that, the Cavs are reportedly keyed in on Kristaps Porzingis in any potential deal with the Knicks.
    As for the San Antonio Spurs, another team that was reportedly on Irving's shortlist, Wojnarowski reported that the All-Star guard is willing to sign an extension in San Antonio should he be traded there.

    Chances are Giancarlo Stanton won’t play his entire career in a Marlins uniform.

    He could if he wanted to, of course. The 13-year, $325 million extension he signed in November 2014 gave him that security — no-trade protection is a wonderful thing — but 13 years is a very long time with one team. Stanton has an opt-out after the 2020 season, and he would certainly be willing to waive that no-trade protection if it meant being traded to a contender of his choice.

During the 2016 season, his mother Galynn Brady was undergoing treatment for cancer, reports NBC Sports. And Patriots owner Bob Kraft is now recognizing Galynn’s struggle and her enduring influence on Tom with a pretty significant token: a Super Bowl ring. Tom told ESPN that Kraft was supportive of the family’s ordeal and continually checked up on his mother’s health status.
