Australia's defense minister downplays concerns over Pentagon review of multi-billion submarine deal
BANGKOK (AP) — Australia's defense minister dismissed concerns Thursday that a deal between the U.S., Australia and Britain to provide his country with nuclear-powered submarines could be in jeopardy, following a report that the Pentagon had ordered a review. Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles told Sky News Australia that he had known about the review of the deal 'for some time,' saying that it was a 'very natural step for the incoming administration to take.' He noted that the UK's government also reviewed the deal, the centerpiece of a three-way alliance known as AUKUS after it was elected, and that his own government had looked at it as part of its own review of Australia's entire defense posture. 'I think an incoming government having a look at this is something that they have a perfect right to do and we welcome it and we'll work with it,' he said. The deal, worth more than $200 billion, was signed between the three countries in 2021 under then President Joe Biden, designed to provide Australia, one of Washington's staunchest allies in the region, with greater maritime capabilities to counter China's increasingly strong navy . The deal also involves the U.S. selling several of its Virginia-class submarines to Australia to bridge the gap as the new submarines are being jointly built. In January, Australia made the first of six $500 million payments to the U.S. under the AUKUS deal, meant to bolster American submarine manufacturing. Marles met with U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on the sidelines of a defense conference in Singapore less than two weeks ago, and told reporters afterward that he had come away with 'a sense of confidence about the way in which AUKUS is proceeding.' 'AUKUS is on track and we are meeting all the timelines that are associated with it,' he said. 'We are very optimistic.' Hegseth's address to the defense forum made multiple mentions of cooperation with Australia but no reference to AUKUS, however, though he did later mention the deal when he was taking questions. Hegseth did urge allies in the Indo-Pacific to increase their defense spending, and underscored the need for a 'strong, resolute and capable network of allies and partners' as the U.S. seeks to counter China.

Peja Stojakovic says Rich Paul blackmailed the Kings so De'Aaron Fox could end up with the Spurs: "He limited Sacramento from a business standpoint"
Peja Stojakovic says Rich Paul blackmailed the Kings so De'Aaron Fox could end up with the Spurs: "He limited Sacramento from a business standpoint" originally appeared on Basketball Network. Former Sacramento Kings assistant general manager Peja Stojakovic believes that the Kings could have gotten a better package for point guard De'Aaron Fox if they were able to shop him around the league. Advertisement Stojakovic claims the Kings were unable to get the best deal for De'Aaron because Fox's manager, Klutch Sports founder Rich Paul, coerced the team to surrender Fox to the San Antonio Spurs while also making sure that his other client, Zach LaVine, would end up taking Fox's spot in Sacramento. "I still believe Sacramento has good players despite them trading Fox," Peja said confidently. "It seems there was a directive from his agent, Rich Paul, who played a key role and blackmailed the teams on which player was supposed to get traded where. He brought Fox to the Spurs and Zach LaVine, who is his player, brought him to Sacramento. By doing this, he limited Sacramento from a business standpoint, stating that they get a bit more from this trade with Fox if they had the same discussion with some other teams in the NBA," Stojakovic detailed behind-the-scenes events around this trade. Kings landed LaVine in a three-team trade Fox was looking like the Kings' next franchise player. But last year, he turned down a three-year $165 million contract extension from the Kings because he wanted to make sure the Kings had enough to contend for a title before committing to them. However, the motive was likely financial as Fox stood to get a five-year, $345 million super-max deal if he made an All-NBA team this season. Advertisement But rather than risk losing Fox without getting anything, the Kings ended up shopping Fox before the trade deadline. Several teams were linked to the former Kentucky Wildcat, but in the end, he went to the Spurs in a move that many, including Stojakovic, believe was orchestrated by Paul. In the three-team trade, the Kings got LaVine from the Chicago Bulls, plus three first-round picks and three second-round picks. Meanwhile, the Bulls received Zach Collins, Tre Jones and Kevin Huerter while regaining their 2025 first-round pick via the Spurs. San Antonio ended up with the jackpot prize of the deal: Fox.

Last March, Fox admitted that he told the Kings that he only wanted to play for the Spurs. And so if this was the case, then it's possible that Paul worked his connections to make that happen, and they ended up strong-arming the Kings into sending Fox to San Antonio. Advertisement "There was no fuc*ing list," Fox emphatically said. "There was one team. I wanted to go to San Antonio. So, a lot of people are mad at me, saying I handcuffed the team by giving them a destination. Well, this is my career. If anybody else is in my position, you'd do the same thing. It's not my job to help build your team. I'm not about to just go where they want me to go. I wanted to have a destination," he concluded. But as Peja said, the Kings still have good players left, regardless of whether they were short-changed in the deal. They also received a haul of draft picks, which they can use in whichever direction they choose.
