NBA Rumors: Warriors Could Acquire Bradley Beal For Andrew Wiggins Plus Others

Posted: 14 Mar 2022 11:38 PM PDT

The Golden State Warriors are one of the teams that are in a strong position to engage in a blockbuster deal in the 2022 NBA offseason. The Warriors may be currently focused on fully dominating the Western Conference and capturing the Larry O'Brien Trophy in the 2021-22 NBA season but if they fall short of achieving their main goal, they are expected to find ways to improve their roster around their superstar trio of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green.

Potential Offseason Target - Bradley Beal

In the past months, the Warriors have already been linked to several big names who are expected to part ways with their respective teams next summer. One of the potential trade targets for the Warriors is All-Star shooting guard Bradley Beal of the Washington Wizards. Beal may have said on numerous occasions that he wants to spend his entire career with the Wizards but if they once again fail to surround him with a title-contending roster in the 2022 NBA offseason, most people are expecting him to follow in the footsteps of other superstars and start finding his way out of Washington.

Sacrificing Andrew Wiggins To Acquire Bradley Beal

The Warriors would have a better chance of acquiring Beal if he opts out of the final year of his contract and becomes an unrestricted free agent next summer. However, with their limited salary cap space, they would need to engage in a sign-and-trade deal with the Wizards to bring Beal to Golden State. According to Michael Saenz of Fansided's Sir Charles In Charge, the idea sign-and-trade scenario for the Warriors is to get Beal in exchange for a trade package centered on Andrew Wiggins.

"An acquisition of Beal would at the very least cost Golden State Andrew Wiggins and a flurry of their young pieces. It may seem like a pipe dream but that’s what many believed just before the Warriors landed Kevin Durant a few years ago too."Creating A 'Splash Trio'

The successful acquisition of Beal would enable the Warriors to upgrade their "Splash Brothers" into "Splash Trio." In addition to Curry and Thompson, Beal would give the Warriors another All-Star caliber guard who can efficiently knock down shots from beyond the arc, making them harder to defend in the perimeter. Thompson wouldn't mind moving to the small forward position since he's tall enough to man the wing. If the core of Curry, Thompson, Beal, Green, and James Wiseman mesh well on the court and stay away from any major injury, the Warriors would become a scarier team to face in a best-of-seven series.

Why The Wizards Would Make The Trade

Agreeing to a sign-and-trade deal with the Warriors would be a no-brainer for the Wizards, especially if Beal is no longer interested in being the face of the franchise. Instead of letting him walk away as an unrestricted free agent without getting anything in return, the potential trade would allow them to swap Beal for a younger All-Star talent in Wiggins. They could make Wiggins the centerpiece of the next title-contending team that they will try to build in Washington in the post-Beal era.

NBA Rumors: John Wall, Christian Wood Could Form Lakers' 'Big 4' With LeBron James & Anthony Davis Next Summer

Posted: 14 Mar 2022 11:33 PM PDT

The Los Angeles Lakers are expected to be one of the busiest teams on the trade market in the 2022 NBA offseason. Though they are still trying to keep their playoff hopes alive, the Lakers' roster, as currently constructed, is obviously not enough to help them fully dominate the Western Conference and win the NBA championship title in the 2021-22 NBA season. When the season is over, most people believe that the Lakers would find ways to give LeBron James and Anthony Davis a better supporting cast.

Forming A 'Big 4'

One of the potential trade partners for the Lakers next summer is the Houston Rockets. In a recent article, Addam Goldman of Fadeaway World suggested a way on how the Lakers would be able to create a "Big 4" with the help of the Rockets. In the proposed trade scenario, the Lakers would be sending a trade package that includes Russell Westbrook and Talen Horton-Tucker to the Rockets in exchange for John Wall and Christian Wood. If the trade becomes a reality, Goldman believes it would help both teams in filling up the needs to improve on their roster.

Why The Rockets Would Make The Trade

Aside from the fact that they already discussed the same trade scenario before the 2022 NBA trade deadline, Goldman further explained why the proposed deal would make sense for the Rockets.

"The Houston Rockets make this trade for only one reason: They’d hope Russell Westbrook opts out of his player option and searches for greener pastures instead of going the John Wall route and spending the year on his sofa. The Rockets would also love to trade a completely disinterested Christian Wood, who’ll undoubtedly run out of Houston as fast as he can once his contract is up, for an excellent young player in Talen Horton-Tucker."John Wall & Christian Wood Join Lakers

Wall and Wood would both be intriguing acquisitions for the Lakers. When both players are healthy, pairing them with James and Davis would make the Lakers a more competitive team in the Western Conference in the 2022-23 NBA season. Wall would be an immediate replacement for Westbrook in the Lakers' backcourt, giving them another veteran point guard who has plenty of playoff experience.

In Wood, the Lakers would be getting an All-Star caliber big man who is a very reliable scorer under the basket, rebounder, rim protector, and floor spacer. If he could build chemistry with Davis, they could form a formidable frontcourt duo in Los Angeles next season.

Taking A Huge Gamble On John Wall

The proposed blockbuster deal with the Rockets would come with a huge risk for the Lakers. Though he could possibly be a much better third fiddle for James and David than Westbrook, Wall has already dealt with numerous health issues and hasn't played a single game since last season. However, before they make the trade with the Rockets, the Lakers are expected to receive reliable intel about Wall's health and condition since like James and Davis, he's also being represented by Rich Paul of Klutch Sports Group.

Posted: 14 Mar 2022 11:29 PM PDT

Will Smith was named as the Best Leading Actor for his role in King Richard at Sunday night's presentation of the BAFTA Awards. Unfortunately, he wasn't present to accept the high honor.

Will Smith Portrayed Serena And Venus Williams' Dad In 'King Richard'

After his portrayal of Richard Williams Jr., the father of tennis greats Venus and Serena Williams, in King Richard, Will Smith was awarded with a nomination for the 2022 BAFTA Awards' Best Actor alongside a number of stellar talents, including Adeel Akhtar, Benedict Cumberbatch, Mahershala Ali, Stephen Graham, and Leonardo DiCarprio.

Lourdes Leon Bends Over In Sheer Mugler Corset

Posted: 14 Mar 2022 11:09 PM PDT

Lourdes Leon turned heads and made for quite the headline-maker as she debuted her Mugler ambassador gig while both bending over and whipping her hair in a sheer corset. The 25-year-old model and daughter to pop icon Madonna is fast rising as a celebrity in her own right - amid attending the 2021 Met Gala in a surprise appearance, Lourdes quickly nabbed gigs, including walking for singer Rihanna's Savage x Fenty line.

In December 2021, Lourdes updated her Instagram with an edgy and futuristic video shouting out Kardashian-adored label Mugler. Check it out below.

Statement Mugler Look

Scroll for the footage. Lourdes was promoting Mugler's Fall Winter 2021 collection. She was filmed on her knees to begin with, also bending forward for a massive booty flash as she modeled a stunning and sheer-paneled corset bodysuit, one paired with see-through stockings and dagger-high black stilettos.

Low-cut and with a sleeveless finish, the statement ensemble highlighted Lourdes' killer curves, also giving a nod to Thierry Mugler's signature structured finish - mogul Kim Kardashian donned the iconic '80s brand to the 2019 Met Gala.

See More Photos Below

Wearing her dark locks down, Lourdes was also seen falling flat on her back for a dramatic finish. Mugler shared the video to its Instagram, writing: "Lourdes Leon for @muglerofficial Fall Winter 2021 by @cadwallader directed by @torso.solutions.
Available now in stores and online, link in bio."

The 2021 Mugler campaign also featured models Bella Hadid and Amber Valetta. Lourdes has, in the past, fronted footwear brand Converse.

Speaking Out

Two months prior to the shoot, and in October of last year, Leon made headlines for an Interview Mag feature, one seeing her open up on mom Madonna and speaking about her career choices.

"I don’t have a specific goal. I probably should," she said.

"Financially, modeling is a smart decision. I enjoy being very hands on with the campaigns I do, so that I’m not just modeling, per se. I dance, I have a very specific sense of style, and I’m interested in aesthetics, so I like to incorporate all those parts of myself into my projects."A Big Vision For Modeling

The L.A. native continued: "I want to create a world in which models have more agency over what they’re doing, and they’re not just silent clothing racks. That’s the age that we’re coming into in the fashion world: models as personalities and artists."

Naomi Campbell Looks Classy In Burberry

Posted: 14 Mar 2022 03:48 PM PDT

Supermodels like Naomi Campbell don't need film appearances or Award nominations to attend top Award nights like the BAFTAs. The 51-year-old new mother served her signature classy style in a Burberry dress and waist-length hair inches. Since her announcement last year, she's been lowkey, but the fashion month gave her a reason to step back on the scene, and she ensured everyone felt her presence.

Naomi Campbell Wears A Velvet Burberry Dress

Naomi's Velvet gown had a lettuce hemming on its exaggerated sleeves and a fishtail that trailed along as she walked the red carpet. Its square-cut neckline had two curves on edge, forming inverted Cs on her chest, which she left bare. She wore modest nude makeup and styled her hair long and straight parted down the middle.

The green diamond jewelry pieces - earrings and bracelets - she wore were the only color pops to her shiny black outfit. With a statement dress like this, you couldn't tell Naomi she didn't belong in that event!

Burberry's AW22 Show With Her Mom

Naomi's attendance at the Burberry show was a family affair as her 71-year-old mother joined her on the front row wearing a red trench coat. Valerie Morris called the Burberry womenswear show "amazing" and congratulated the creative director Ricardo Tisci. They both donned dark sunshades and wore their hair in similar straight styles looking more like sisters than mother and daughter.

Naomi And Kate Moss Attend A Party In Burberry

Naomi and her dear friend Kate Moss, a fellow supermodel, joined the shining stars on the front row of the Burberry show last week. She showed up in a classic black suit with white cuffs and a sheer V-neck top tucked into her pants. Naomi completed her outfit with a chunky gold choker necklace and a matching hand purse with an adjustable shoulder chain handle.

The Supermodel and her friend, Kate, switched it up for a private party at a member' s-only club with Naomi wearing a signature Burberry plaid outfit. It consisted of a sheer cutout skintight jumpsuit and a solid cotton jacket. Naomi's outfit isn't available for sale yet as it's part of the upcoming Autumn/Winter collection.

Naomi also wore a Burberry skintight jumpsuit with cutouts for her Vogue interview when she revealed her biggest news ever - the top supermodel in the world has a child! The outfit was from the Spring/Summer 2022 collection, which is now live on the website.

Selena Gomez Flawless In Cut-Out Louis Vuitton

Posted: 14 Mar 2022 03:37 PM PDT

Selena Gomez pulled off effortless class in a bold red and cut-out dress at last night's Critics Choice Awards. The singer and Only Murders in the Building actress put her gorgeous figure on show in custom-made Louis Vuitton as she gave a nod to the iconic French label - red carpet photos showed Gomez stunning in the braless number, and it was a winner look, even if she walked away empty-handed.

Selena, 29, was nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy Series. While she didn't win, it was a big win for fans of the Texan's style. Check out her dress below.

Stuns In Custom Louis Vuitton

Scroll for photos. Going for old-school retro glam, Selena posed in her segmented and cape-style dress - the pillar box-red gown came floor-length and figure-hugging, also boasting a peep-hole chest detail as fabrics were held together at the chest via a glittery clasp.

Flaunting her toned arms, Selena just about showcased her shoulders as a shoulder cape dropped to the ground - the train effect honored days gone by in Hollywood, although the feel was 2022.

See More Photos Below

Video footage from the star-studded night also showed a slightly backless finish to the dress - walking along the red carpet, the "Rare" singer further flashed her toned legs while in high heels. Critics choice shared a video of Selena, shouting her out on Instagram and writing: "Lady in Red ❤️ @selenagomez #criticschoice #criticschoiceawards #selenagomez."

Of course, fashion pundits were quick to pick up on Selena's choice of Louis Vuitton, a brand she once fronted. LV currently boasts Netflix star HoYeon Jung as its global ambassador, with past ones including pop singer Madonna and actress Angelina Jolie. 2016 marked Gomez landing her Vuitton promo gig.

Says Brands Are An 'Experience'

Selena was still dating The Weeknd when her then-beau gifted her a Chanel bag. Gushing over it, the Rare Beauty founder stated:

"My boyfriend just got me a beautiful Chanel bag, and [I love it],” adding: “It wasn’t because it was a Chanel bag, it’s because of where it came from and what it meant. So I wear it so proudly, and I feel cute when I have it on. I feel like, ‘I love this!’ it makes me so happy…And that to me is an experience.”

Star-Studded Night

The CCA, this year held the same night as the BAFTAs, were also attended by actress Kristen Stewart, media face Jada-Pinkett Smith, plus Oscar winner Halle Berry.
