Cavaliers announce Peyton Watson trade. Here's how Koby Altman sees it

The Cavaliers formally announced on Friday, Aug. 21, a five-team trade headlined by Cleveland acquiring former Denver Nuggets wing Peyton Watson.

A projected starter in Cleveland, Watson will wear No. 8 on his Cavs jersey.

On Wednesday, Aug. 19, the Cavs agreed to the sign-and-trade deal for Watson, who will receive a four-year, $88 million from Cleveland. The Cavs also agreed to re-sign point guard James Harden to a three-year, $97 million deal on Thursday, Aug. 20, though the team has yet to announce the pact.

Here are details from the Cavs on the Watson trade, with comments from president of basketball operations Koby Altman included:

The Cleveland Cavaliers have agreed to acquire forward Peyton Watson from the Denver Nuggets in a sign-and-trade deal and forward Cam Whitmore from the Washington Wizards as part of a five-team transaction involving the Cavaliers, Nuggets, Wizards, Charlotte Hornets and L.A. Clippers, Cavaliers President of Basketball Operations Koby Altman announced today. As part of the trade, Cleveland sends guard/forward Max Strus to the Clippers and guard Dennis Schröder to Charlotte, while Charlotte sends guard Tre Mann to Washington. The Nuggets receive a 2031 first-round pick and a 2032 second-round pick from Cleveland.

“Peyton is a young, talented player who we believe fits extremely well with the direction of our team,” said Altman. “His length, athleticism and defensive versatility give us the ability to play him across multiple positions and create more flexibility on both ends of the floor. He has continued to grow as a player in this league, and we believe there is significant opportunity for him to take another step in Cleveland.

“We also want to recognize and thank Max for everything he has meant to the Cavaliers. Over the past several seasons, Max became an important part of our team, our culture, and our identity. His professionalism, toughness, competitiveness, and leadership helped shape the standard we have established here, and his impact went well beyond what he did on the court. He was an important part of our continued rise and the sustainable success we have worked to build, and we are incredibly grateful for the way he represented the Cavaliers every day. Max will always be an important part of this chapter of our organization, and we wish him and his family nothing but the best moving forward."

“Dennis made an immediate impact after joining us at the trade deadline, bringing experience, toughness, and leadership to our group. His contributions helped us reach the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2018, and we are grateful for everything he gave the Cavaliers during his time here. We wish him continued success moving forward.”

Here is biographical information from the Cavs on the players they recently acquired and sent to other teams:

Northampton Town have signed striker Nathan Opoku from Leicester City for an undisclosed fee.

The 25-year-old Ghanaian, who has signed a three-year deal at Sixfields, joined Leicester from Syracuse University in the United States in 2023.

Opoku was immediately loaned out to the Foxes' Belgian sister club OH Leuven, where he scored five times. He also spent last season on loan at Newport County, scoring six goals in 30 appearances in League Two as he ended the season as the Exiles' top scorer.

"He has had a different journey to most players but that has helped him gain a good breadth of knowledge and experience and he is an excellent age," Cobblers boss Chris Hogg told the club website.

"He has spent the last three years at Leicester City and enjoyed loan spells both in Europe and last season in League Two so he knows the level and he has scored goals at this level.

"We have tracked Nathan for a while so we know all about him, we have done our homework and we know he is hardworking, has an excellent attitude and is a good person, he is a good character and a good player."

Argentina's Paredes banned for 10 games

Argentina midfielder Leandro Paredes has been given a 10-match ban for the role he played in on-field clashes after his side were beaten 1-0 by Spain in the 2026 World Cup final.

Fifa's disciplinary committee has also handed his team-mate Nahuel Molina a seven-match suspension.

Argentina have also been ordered to play their next two home matches behind closed doors, though one match of that sanction is suspended.

The Argentinian Football Association (AFA) has been fined $321,000 (£243,000) for breaches of the Fifa disciplinary code relating to using a sports event for demonstrations of a non-sporting nature, team misconduct, and discriminatory chants and gestures by its supporters.

After defeating England 2-1 in the World Cup semi-final, several Argentina players held up a banner claiming Argentine sovereignty over the Falkland Islands, a British overseas territory.

Last month Fifa appointed a disciplinary and ethics prosecutor to assess what happened after the final whistle at the New York New Jersey Stadium, when multiple Argentina players and backroom staff were involved in altercations with Spain players.

More to follow.

The Chicago Bears participated in a joint practice with the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday ahead of their preseason game on Saturday, and there was plenty to break down, including the performance of quarterback Caleb Williams.

Williams is entering his third season following a breakout sophomore campaign where he set a franchise single-season passing record, led an NFL record seven fourth quarter comebacks (including the postseason) while leading Chicago to an 11-6 record, NFC North title and playoff win. That was all in one season with head coach Ben Johnson. Now, all eyes are on Williams this summer as he continues to develop under Johnson and make a huge leap in Year 3.

We’re taking a look at the good, the bad and the noteworthy with Williams from the Bears' joint practice against the Bengals:

The Good

It wasn't a perfect day for Williams against the Bengals, but he had an overall solid showing. According to Bear Report, Williams was "sharp" during 7-on-7 red zone work. In fact, early in practice it was Williams and Joe Burrow lighting up for their respective teams and gave opposing defenses fits. Williams had some nice completions to wide receivers Rome Odunze and Kalif Raymond, as well as tight end Colston Loveland. Adam Jahns noted that the Bears offense was at its best during the red-zone drills, where they scored three touchdowns to Loveland, Raymond and Kaden Davis. According to Bengals reporter Charlie Clifford, his "top takeaway from majority of 11 on 11s is the explosive plays from the Bears."

The Bad

While practice started off solid for Williams and the first-team offense, the wheels fell off near the end of practice. That was especially true during the final team period. According to Adam Jahns, Williams was sacked by Myles Murphy on back-to-back plays -- beating Theo Benedet on both -- where one was a safety before Williams tossed an interception to Jalen Davis over the middle to end practice. Patrick Finley noted that the offense was completely "dominated" by the Bengals defense in that final series. That wasn't Williams' only turnover as he was had a pass tipped and picked off by Bengals defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence earlier in practice.

The Noteworthy

The connection between Caleb Williams and Colston Loveland is going to be one of the most important for the offense this season, and they're already giving opposing teams issues, as evidenced during Thursday's joint practice. There was one play in particular, where Williams connected with Loveland during 11-on-11 red zone work that left one Bengals beat reporter impressed. According to Jeremy Rauch, it was an "unbelievable play by Caleb Williams" where "Dexter Lawrence beat the double team (and) had a hand in his face" and "Williams threw a laser that whizzed over Jordan Battle’s head to Colston Loveland in the endzone." It was "an impossible completion and he made it." Even Bears beat reporters, who've seen this all camp, were left impressed. Sean Hammond said: "Caleb Williams zipped one into tight coverage in the red zone. It hit Colston Loveland on the shoulder where only he could catch it. Defender was all over Loveland. Impressive pitch and catch."

Patriots-Eagles joint practice was a complete success. I liked that both teams are strong and good foils for the other. It feels the team can learn more from these past two sessions than it will when the teams face off Saturday night for their preseason Week 2 matchup.

Another positive was seeing the controlled feistiness from both sides. Players push a play too far and teammates respond, but within reason – short of a brawl and the ensuing fines, which would turn into costly penalties in a real game. Controlled aggression is a good thing to see from your team. The competitiveness is there, plus the willingness to improve is always a good sign. At this point, that’s really what I’m looking for in this roster-building stage. Here’s to an injury-free game on Saturday. We’ll see which “bubbles” rise to the top.

Thomas Shea-Imagn Images

Question: On the first drive of the game

C.J. Stroud: “I liked our pace in and out the huddle. I liked the calls ‘Cales’ made. I liked the guys I was out there with. It was smooth. I had a good time. It's always fun playing. It was really fun to play.”

Q: On RB Woody Marks in the game

Stroud: “I thought he looked great. He's been amazing in practice and taking strides. I’m just proud of him not even only in the running game, but in pass protection, as well. I thought he did a great job.”

Thomas Shea-Imagn Images

Q: On the development of TE Marlin Klein

Stroud: “He's getting better. I think he's learning how to run NFL routes. I think whenever he knows what he's doing, he's great. I’m just trying to teach him on what I'm looking for. I think he's getting better.

Q: On the offensive lines playing well on the first drive of the game

Stroud: “Yeah, they did. They did amazing. I’m proud of those guys.”

Sean Thomas-Imagn Images

Q: On losing WR Jayden Higgins

Stroud: “Yeah, it's tough. He was doing great. It was the best I've seen him. He was making plays. He was doing things that I haven't seen him do before and playing physical. My thoughts and prayers are always with him. I’ve been talking to him as much as I can. You can't just replace a guy like that. He's a heck of a talent, somebody who came into this league and made plays already early in his career. It sucks. There’s nothing good to say. Sadly, we have to try our best to rise up, with the other guys around us. I think the guys that we do have in that room are special, so we'll be able to do that, but he's definitely going to be missed.”

Q: On what he likes about C/G Keylan Rutledge and C/G Evan Brown

Stroud: “I love how tough they are and how demanding they are—their ability to communicate—of course, their blocking ability; I think they're both doing a great job. I think Jake [Andrews] is doing amazing, too. I think we have made strides in the interior part of our offensive line.”

Thomas Shea-Imagn Images

Q: On whether he expects to play in the final preseason game

Stroud: “I'm not sure. I know we have a joint with them, but I'm not sure. I'll talk to [Head] Coach [DeMeco Ryans]. Regardless of what decision he makes, I'll be ready to go, ready to practice, whatever the case may be.”

Crewe sign Ure and Stephenson on loan

Crewe Alexandra have made a double signing, bringing in Celtic midfielder Kyle Ure on loan, hours after agreeing a similar deal with Brentford defender Josh Stephenson.

Ure, 20, is yet to make a first-team breakthrough at Parkhead, but he did spend the 2025-26 season out on loan at Scottish Championship side Aye United, making 18 appearances.

He will spend the season with the Alex and is the second Celtic midfielder to leave for an English club in the past week, following Arne Engels' record-breaking move to West Ham.

Left-back Stephenson, also 20, has joined Crewe on loan from the Premier League Bees until January 2027.

The former Millwall academy graduate was promoted to Brentford's first-team squad this summer and will now develop his senior experience at the Mornflake Stadium.

Josh Stephenson warms up with his Brentford team-mates before an FA Cup tie against West Ham. He is wearing a sky blue kit with claret and pink markings.

Stephenson, who can also play at centre-back, was named in three Premier League matchday squads and two in the FA Cup for Brentford's first team last term, but is yet to make a senior appearance.

Ure and Stephenson follow the signings of strikers Jordan Gibson and Sheffield Wednesday loan man Charlie McNeill, centre-back Luke Offord and fellow midfielder Joe White this summer.

Both are in contention to make debuts in Saturday's League Two game against Northampton Town.

James Harden has had one helluva career in his 17 years in the NBA. One of the more lethal offensive players in NBA history, he has career averages of 24.0 points, 7.3 assists, and 5.6 rebounds. He is still an immediate game-changer whenever he steps on the floor and he has made his impact felt everywhere at every stop he's been in his legendary NBA career.

In his one and a half seasons with the Philadelphia 76ers, Harden averaged 21.0 points, 10.6 assists, and 6.4 rebounds while leading the league in assists in 2022-23. He made everybody around him better and played a key part in Tyrese Maxey's development as well as Joel Embiid winning the MVP award that season.

HoopsHype is ranking the top 20 shooting guards in the history of the game and Harden comes in ranked No. 5 on the list:

James Harden has a Hall-of-Fame resume thanks to his unreal scoring ability and playmaking. His crossover and stepback jumper made him impossible to slow down, as did his strong shoulder on drives to the rim. He still has a chance to add to his legacy over the coming years, though winning a championship ring is starting to feel like a really long shot.

Believe it or not, Harden is now higher on the all-time playoff assists list than he is on the scoring list, which speaks to his genius as a playmaker to go with his historical scoring skills. But he continues to fall short in the playoffs, which might just be a part of his legacy.

Harden will look to return to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2026 offseason after the Cavs missed out on LeBron James--who landed with the Sixers. Either way, Harden is set to give the Cavs a full season of elite playmaking and an ability to score in bunches at a moment's notice. He is still a star-level player at this stage of his career.

NEW YORK (AP) — Top-ranked Jannik Sinner withdrew from the U.S. Open on Friday because of a right knee injury.

Sinner hasn't played since winning the Wimbledon title last month and determined that he wasn't ready to play when the main draw begins on Aug. 30.

“Even though I have been working hard with my team and my medical staff, we have now had to make the difficult decision that I will not be able to compete at the US Open this year,” Sinner wrote in a post on X.

“We have been back on court in Monte Carlo over the last couple of days and have realized that I still need more time to recover from my right knee issue. I’m obviously very sad and disappointed, as New York has a special place in my heart. I was very much looking forward to coming back and playing in the electric atmosphere in front of the great fans there.”

Sinner was the 2024 U.S. Open champion and lost to Carlos Alcaraz in last year's final.
