Victor Wembanyama Signs Ambassador Deal With Louis Vuitton

Feb 20, 2024 10:12 PM

Victor Wembanyama has signed a deal with Louis Vuitton to become a brand ambassador.

"Striving for excellence and with a perpetual honing of craft, Victor joins Louis Vuitton on a journey of shared values and aligned ambitions. Like Louis Vuitton himself, the young athlete has blazed a trail, excelling in a career that is only just beginning," the designer said in a news release.

Wembanyama wore a Louis Vuitton suit at Barclays Center when he was chosen as the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NBA draft.

"Over the years there's been plenty of different styles and some that are really, really outdated now in the league," Wembanyama told GQ in an interview. "To me it's the best. ... It's the best partner I can think of."

Marcus Morris Leaning Towards Joining Timberwolves

Feb 12, 2024 9:11 AM

Marcus Morris is leaning towards joining the Minnesota Timberwolves for the rest of this season, per former teammate Patrick Beverley. Morris was traded to the San Antonio Spurs at the deadline in a three-team deal that brought Buddy Hield to the Philadelphia 76ers from the Indiana Pacers.

Morris is expected to work a buyout agreement with the Spurs, but no deal has been reached yet. When it is, Morris will be able to join the Timberwolves. Minnesota currently sits atop the Western Conference. The Wolves added to their bench at the deadline by trading for Monte Morris. Adding Marcus Morris would give them additional depth for a playoff run.

Several Teams Believe Trae Young Could Be Traded By Hawks In Offseason

Feb 8, 2024 10:30 PM

Multiple front offices came away from conversations with the Atlanta Hawks that Trae Young could become available this offseason, reports Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports.

The potential availability of Young could hinge on how the Hawks play over the remainder of the season.

The Hawks shopped Dejounte Murray for several weeks and decided to keep him at this juncture after not finding any offers to match their valuation of him. Murray is set to begin Year 1 of a four-year, $114 million deal next season.

The Hawks presumably would get a much more significant trade return if they make Young available. 

After the 22-23 season, there were rumors that Young could be made available. 

The Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs are two teams that have been linked with Young should he hit the trade market.
