Kraken forward John Hayden, mascot Buoy charged by grizzly bear while Alaska fishing in wild scene
Sea trolls are seemingly not welcome in Alaska. The Seattle Kraken and their mascot, Buoy the sea troll, were in Anchorage for a community partnership when Buoy and Co. were charged by a grizzly bear. 4 The grizzly bear begins charging Buoy. X/SEAbuoy Advertisement 4 Buoy and the crew were forced to leave the water as the bear charged. X/SEAbuoy The team was in Anchorage fly fishing at Brooks Falls as part of their annual partnership trip with the Bristol Bay Native Corporation, which brings hockey and community engagement to fans in Alaska. 'Every year we try to do something special and unique to Alaska,' Kraken partnership marketing director Melissa O'Brochta described the event to KOMO News. 'A couple years ago, we took Buoy on a little glacial helicopter ride, in the years past, we've done fishing in Anchorage. But this year, we were like, let's do fly fishing over at Brooks Falls. Advertisement 4 The entire crew fled the bear. X/SEAbuoy 'Brooks Falls is iconic. If you've ever seen a picture of a bear catching a salmon in his mouth, it's typically at Brooks Falls.' Well, those bears were certainly on the salmon hunt while the Kraken were in town. The team was filming 'experiential content' of Buoy and Kraken forward John Hayden in the scenic Alaskan wilderness, when the bear gave the team some different content than they would've expected.

The fishing guides alerted the entire crew as they all began exiting the water — but the grizzly bear began advancing and rushed toward the group. The bear may have been interested in Buoy the most, drawn to his wacky look. Advertisement 'I want to blame it on Buoy. They were pretty interested in his whole look. We got out of it OK, but it was a close call,' Hayden said. As Hayden said, it was nothing more than a close call, albeit it was an entertaining one. 'No trolls or bears were hurt in the making, always respect wildlife in their natural habitat,' Buoy's official X page posted.

Spurs, De'Aaron Fox agree to four-year, $228m extension, AP source says
The move was expected after the Spurs made a big splash at the trade deadline last season by getting Fox from the Kings. Fox has career averages of 21.5 points and 6.1 assists in eight NBA seasons. He averaged 19.7 points and 6.8 assists in 17 games with the Spurs last season. Fox missed the final 18 games due to surgery to repair the extensor tendon in his left pinkie finger. Advertisement The Spurs, with Fox, Victor Wembanyama, rookie of the year Stephon Castle, and this year's No. 2 pick Dylan Harper, appear poised to be a challenger in the Western Conference.

NBA Trade Idea Sees Lakers Land 17.2 PPG Shooting Guard
NBA Trade Idea Sees Lakers Land 17.2 PPG Shooting Guard originally appeared on Fadeaway World. A new trade proposal circulating in NBA circles suggests the Los Angeles Lakers could bring back a familiar face, Malik Monk, in exchange for forward Rui Hachimura and future draft picks. The deal would send Monk to Los Angeles while Sacramento would receive Hachimura, a 2031 first-round pick, and a 2032 second-round pick from the Lakers. Los Angeles Lakers Receive: Malik Monk Sacramento Kings Receive: Rui Hachimura, 2031 Los Angeles Lakers first-round pick, 2032 Los Angeles Lakers second-round pick On paper, the numbers line up. Monk is entering the second year of his four-year, $77.9 million contract, which pays him $18.7 million in 2025-26, nearly identical to Rui Hachimura's $18.2 million salary. From a cap standpoint, the trade is feasible. But the implications stretch beyond just money. Monk, who averaged 17.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game last season while shooting 43.9% from the field and 32.5% from deep, has established himself as one of the league's premier scoring threats off the bench. His ability to create his own shot, break down defenses, and catch fire as a microwave scorer could be a major asset to the Lakers, who are building around Luka Doncic and still holding onto LeBron James for what might be his final run. However, the Lakers already possess a crowded backcourt rotation with Marcus Smart, Austin Reaves, Bronny James, and Gabe Vincent. Adding Monk could boost their offensive firepower but it would also demand another reshuffling of their guard-heavy roster. From Sacramento's standpoint, the interest lies in moving off Monk's contract. The Kings have explored ways to free up financial flexibility and had previously offered Monk in a sign-and-trade deal to the Golden State Warriors for Jonathan Kuminga, a deal that ultimately fell apart when Golden State backed out. With the Kings still shopping Monk, flipping him for an expiring contract like Rui's makes sense. Rui Hachimura is coming off an efficient season where he averaged 13.3 points per game, albeit in a limited sample size, on a scorching 50.9% shooting from the floor and 41.3% from three. Hachimura remains a versatile, physically gifted forward who could help Sacramento as a rotational piece or trade chip next season before his deal expires. Yet for the Lakers, the long-term consequences of this deal could create complications. Monk's deal runs through the 2027-28 season, and the Lakers have over $111 million in expiring contracts coming off the books next summer. Their front office has carefully positioned themselves to be players in the 2026 free agency sweepstakes. Taking on Monk's salary beyond 2026 would eat into that flexibility. Unless Monk performs at near All-Star level, the Lakers would be sacrificing future cap space for short-term bench scoring. In essence, this deal presents a classic front office dilemma, immediate firepower versus long-term cap freedom. If Rob Pelinka believes Malik Monk can push the Lakers into championship contention with Luka and LeBron still leading the charge, the move makes sense. But if 2026 remains the target for a third superstar, this trade may be too costly in the long story was originally reported by Fadeaway World on Aug 4, 2025, where it first appeared.
