• Tariffs eliminated on 96% of goods
• Israel, UAE established ties in 2020
• Deal signed as Israel-Palestinian violence escalates

DUBAI, May 31 (Reuters) - Israel signed a free trade agreement with the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday, its first big trade accord with an Arab state that reduces or removes tariffs and over time targets lifting annual bilateral trade to more than $10 billion.

The pact was signed in Dubai by Israel's Minister of Economy and Industry Orna Barbivai and her counterpart, UAE Minister of Economy Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, after months of negotiations.

Tariffs will be eliminated on 96% of goods with the UAE predicting the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement would boost bilateral trade to more than $10 billion a year within five years.

Emirati trade minister Thani Al Zeyoudi said the trade deal wrote "a new chapter in the history of the Middle East."

"Our agreement will accelerate growth, create jobs and lead to a new era of peace, stability, and prosperity across the region," he wrote on Twitter.

The agreement has been signed amid escalating Israeli-Palestinian violence.

The UAE foreign ministry on Monday condemned what it called a "storming" of Al Aqsa compound in Jerusalem by "extremist settlers under the protection of Israeli forces."

That appeared to refer to visits by thousands of Jews, who revere the site as vestige of their two ancient temples, on the day marking Israel's capture of Jerusalem's Old City in a 1967 war. Some of the visitors prayed and held up Israeli flags - resulting, police said, in their removal.

Al Aqsa, also the third holiest site in Islam, is situated in East Jerusalem's Old City that Israel has annexed but is not recognised internationally.

The foreign ministry, in the written statement, also asked "Israeli authorities to take responsibility for reducing escalation and ending all attacks and practices that lead to the continuation of tensions while underscoring the need to exercise maximum restraint to avoid further instability."

The same day invited media were told they could no longer attend the signing of the trade deal. No reason was given for the sudden change.

Israel's Barbivai told Israeli radio on Tuesday she had heard "nothing out of the ordinary" about the Al Aqsa violence so far during her visit to the UAE.

President of the UAE-Israel Business Council Dorian Barak said the trade agreement defined tax rates, imports and intellectual property, which would encourage more Israeli companies to set up offices in the UAE, particularly in Dubai.

The council predicts there will be almost 1,000 Israeli companies working in or through the UAE by the end of the year doing business with South Asia, the Far East and Middle East.

"The domestic market doesn't represent the entirety of the opportunity. The opportunity is really setting up in Dubai, as many companies have, in order to target the broader region," Barak told Reuters by phone.

Emirati-Israeli trade reached $1.2 billion in 2021, according to official Israeli data.

Ahead of the signing, Israel's economy ministry had said the accord would remove tariffs on food, agriculture, cosmetics, medical equipment and medicine.

"Together we will remove barriers and promote comprehensive trade and new technologies, which will form a solid foundation for our common path, will contribute to the well-being of citizens and make it easier to do business," Israel's Barbivai said on Monday.

For oil-rich UAE, the deal with Israel is its second bilateral free trade agreement after signing a similar accord with India in February. It is in bilateral trade talks with several other countries, including Indonesia and South Korea.

The UAE has been aggressively pursuing these deals in a bid to strengthen its economy and status as a major business hub following the hit it took from the coronavirus pandemic.

Israel and the UAE established ties in September 2020 in a U.S. brokered deal that broke with decades of Arab policy that had called for a Palestinian state before ties with Israel.

Bahrain and Morocco also recognised Israel in the same year.

Minnesota Timberwolves: Perfect storm for draft day trade scenario - Dunking with Wolves

gamagana.blogspot.com

The Minnesota Timberwolves need quality players now. But as they enter the 2022 NBA Draft, they have four draft picks, three of which are in Round 2. Those later picks are typically where teams find the draft-and-stash players, players who are encouraged to sign a one or two-year contract to play overseas, refine their basketball skills, and then return to the NBA later when the team has a more clearly defined role for them.

But that is not where the Minnesota Timberwolves are right now as a franchise. This team has, in the eyes of many fans and NBA analysts, turned the corner. So now that team feels as though the hopes to return to the NBA Playoffs are legit, the challenge is how to make the most of what could be a limited window of opportunity.

Such as? Well, per Michael Scotto of Hoops Hype, the Timberwolves are one of seven NBA teams perceived as holding an excessive number of draft picks.

Story: NBA executives are monitoring the Blazers and Kings as teams who may trade their picks for immediate help. The Thunder, Hornets, Grizzlies, Spurs and Timberwolves also have an excess of picks. More in our new aggregate NBA mock draft on @hoopshype. https://t.co/ZlHc17MJv4

What does that mean for Timberwolves fans?

Plenty of room to speculate over NBA Trade Rumors

Well, all speculation should be met with a bit of professional skepticism. But it does create an array of interesting draft-day scenarios for the Timberwolves. Right now, four NBA teams have no picks in the 2022 NBA Draft (Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia 76ers, Phoenix Suns, and Utah Jazz).  Another seven NBA teams hold just one pick in the draft.

That sets the stage for the Timberwolves to have the potential to discuss possible scenarios with up to 11 different teams before or during the NBA Draft. While I’m not in the habit to fabricate NBA Trade Rumors, I’m also in no position to rule out the likelihood of any taking place.

The Timberwolves are the perfect storm for NBA Trade rumors. They are an NBA Playoff team loaded with picks having just hired a new team president Tim Connelly. There is a growing sense that Connelly will not be content to use four draft picks as is. In fact, DWW contributor Nate Ackert believes the team will trade the 19th overall pick.

What do you think? Will the Timberwolves be content to draft four prospects? Or do you see trading for players as the more likely outcome? Just let us know in the comments section.

Revisiting the Al Horford trade as the Celtics earn a trip to the Finals - Thunderous Intentions

gamagana.blogspot.com

The Boston Celtics are heading to the 2022 NBA Finals! After downing the Miami Heat in Game 7, the matchup is set between the Celtics and Golden State Warriors which will begin on Thursday, June 2nd. One of the main catalysts for the Celtics returning to the NBA Finals for the first time in 12-years was Al Horford.

Al Horford has been in the NBA since 2008, this is the first trip to the NBA Finals as no one has played in more NBA Playoff games without a finals trip than Horford. He can now check that off the list as an Eastern Conference Champion. If he can capture an NBA Championship in the next few weeks, he will add to his luxurious resume that includes two NCAA titles with Florida, and over 141 playoff games under his belt in his only missing the postseason once in his career.

The five-time All-Star, former-All NBA, and All-Defensive team member is a lock for the Basketball Hall of Fame after eight season’s in Atlanta he spent three in Boston before inking a deal with the 76ers which did not go according to plan. Horford was viewed as one of the worst contracts in the league following the 2019-20 season where he just did not fit in with the 76ers.

Enter the Oklahoma City Thunder, who traded for Al Horford at the 2020 NBA Draft. Thunder General Manager Sam Presti shipped Terrance Ferguson, Danny Green, and Vincent Poirier to the 76ers for Al Horford, Theo Maledon, and the draft rights of Vasilije Micic along with a 2025 first-round pick.  Ferguson and Poirier combined to play 23 games for Philly, and Danny Green has been a punching bag for most 76ers fans as Horford lifts the Celtics to the NBA Finals.

Revisiting the Al Horford trade to the Boston Celtics a year later

The worst kept secret in the NBA is the Oklahoma City Thunder are in a rebuilding stage, which includes tanking to lose as many games as possible each of the last two seasons. That plan was clear the moment they took on Al Horford’s contract. The organization was transparent with the veteran big man, and to Horford’s credit, he kept his head down and worked. He was a professional and insightful with the media, he helped the young players grow, and he did exactly what he needed to do to recoup value.

Al Horford played 28-games for the Thunder, averaging 14-points, five assists, and nearly seven rebounds, with a block and steal per contest while shooting 36-percent from three, and 45-percent from the floor.

Horford also welcomed a new baby into the world and spent some time away from the team, as Mark Daigneault did this season, to be with his family.

After the NBA Trade Deadline passed, the OKC Thunder shut Al Horford down for the rest of the season, a move that Horford was on board with. He had done enough to prove that the mishap in Philly was not an Al Horford problem but rather a 76ers problem, he recouped his value and the Thunder wanted to lose games, so the veteran big man got so much needed rest.

While some will retroactively look back at that decision and say how outrageous it is to shut him down after the deadline and claim OKC should have dealt Horford mid-season last year, that lacks a lot of contexts. It is incredibly hard to trade 27.5-million dollars worth of salary during an NBA season. This is not baseball, there is a salary cap, and you have to match money. No contender around the league had the money to make a trade work, so a deal never materialized, though it was not without trying.

On June 18th, the Thunder shipped Al Horford back to Boston, the Organization he desperately wanted to go to and an NBA Finals contender that with his leadership got there this season. OKC attached Moses Brown and a 2023 second-round pick to Horford to get him to his preferred destination while taking on Kemba Walker‘s contract, a 2021 First-round pick (Alprene Sengun traded for future draft capital), and a 2025 second-round pick.

The OKC Thunder then bought out Walker’s deal, still owing him 27.4-million dollars in dead cap money for the 2022-23 season.

Moses Brown never played a game for Boston and played in 40 NBA games during the 2021-22 NBA Season with a stint in Dallas and Cleveland this season.

At the end of the day, The OKC Thunder earned a haul from Al Horford’s massive contract when you factor in both trades and Al Horford got to go to his preferred team and earned a trip to the NBA Finals.

The Thunder are not the bad guys, they did not waste a year of Horford’s prime, and they would not have made some miraculous run to the Finals had they allowed Horford to play the full season last year. While it can never be proven, you have to wonder if time off and not making a postseason run for the first time in his career helped Al Horford reach these heights in the NBA Postseason.

At the end of the day, it is a win-win for each side, and everyone in Bricktown should be rooting for Al Horford to go get his long-awaited NBA Championship.

Israel And UAE Prepare To Sign Free Trade Deal - Forbes

gamagana.blogspot.com

A free trade agreement is due to be signed between Israel and the UAE on May 31, according to the Israeli government.

A statement from the Ministry of Economy and Industry said the agreement would be “comprehensive, significant and groundbreaking” and would lead to 96% of trade between the two countries being given immediate or gradual tax exemption. It said it would cover trade in food and other agriculture goods, cosmetics, medicines and medical equipment, among other areas.

The agreement is expected to be signed during a trip by Israel’s economy and industry minister Orna Barbivay to the UAE. A statement from the Israeli government quoted Barbivay as describing it as a “free, full, first trade agreement with an Arab state”. Israel also has a preferential trade arrangement with Jordan and a customs union with the Palestinian Authority.

Relations between the two countries have developed rapidly over the past few years, since the signing of the Abraham Accords in 2020. High-level government delegations have travelled in both directions, as have numerous business groups – among the most recent was a delegation of healthcare officials from Abu Dhabi which visited the Biomed Israel Conference in Tel Aviv in recent days.

Israel-UAE bilateral trade was worth some $675m within the first ten months of signing the Abraham Accords in September 2020, according to Israeli officials, but a free trade deal could see that increase rapidly.

The process of reaching an agreement has been remarkably swift. In June 2021, the two governments issued a joint statement in which they said they had started talks on a free trade agreement.

In April this year, UAE minister of state for foreign trade Thani Al-Zeyoudi said talks on a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement with Israel had concluded and it was now ready to be signed. At the time he said “This milestone deal will build on the historic Abraham Accords and cement one of the world’s most important and promising emerging trading relationships.”

The UAE government suggested at the time that the agreement would be signed “in the coming weeks”. It is not clear what has delayed that timetable.

Full details about the agreement are expected to be revealed when it is signed.

Yes, the Timberwolves could trade up back into round one of the draft - Dunking with Wolves

gamagana.blogspot.com

The Minnesota Timberwolves enter the 2022 NBA Draft with four picks, but three of those picks do not arrive until round two of the draft. While the players chosen in any NBA Draft outside of the top few picks have a bit of uncertainty, players chosen in round two are often developmental in nature and need added time in a structured basketball program before they are ready for the physicality and demands of the NBA.

Oftentimes, players who are chosen outside of round one fall into the category of ‘draft-and-stash,’ or are encouraged to play a year or two in an international basketball program before returning to play in the NBA.

But the thing is, the Timberwolves are trying to build a roster now.

Some teams who are already well entrenched in the NBA Playoffs each year have the luxury of developing players for future roles and find themselves drafting with just one pick late in round one. Would any of those teams consider trading back for three picks in this draft?

The teams who fall into that category are:

• Team                          Pick

1. Brooklyn Nets          23
2. Milwaukee Bucks    24
3. Dallas Mavericks     26
4. Miami Heat               27

The Timberwolves’ picks in round two, at 40th, 48th, and 50th overall could be enough to persuade a team that is selecting late in the draft to move back for more picks. What that could mean for the Minnesota Timberwolves is trading back into the first round by using second-round picks:

Here’s an updated version of my draft pick trade value chart that takes into account this year’s increase in salaries for first-round picks. As always, note that this reflects what picks should be worth based on historical outcomes. In practice, teams pay a premium to move up. pic.twitter.com/Mm0fI6de8n

— Kevin Pelton (@kpelton) June 21, 2018

For example, if the Miami Heat was willing to entertain trading back from the 27th overall pick, the Timberwolves could persuade them to do so by packaging the 40th and 50th overall picks to return to Round one.  Where it gets a bit ‘tricky’ in any trade scenario is any trade with the Brooklyn Nets at 23 or the Milwaukee Bucks at 24. At those spots, the Timberwolves would likely be forced to part with all three second-round picks.

New Jersey Devils: 5 Terrible Trade Proposals For 2nd Overall Pick - Pucks and Pitchforks

gamagana.blogspot.com

The New Jersey Devils moved up in the NHL Draft Lottery and are now picking second overall. During the IIHF World Championships, Juraj Slafkovsky was one of the more dominant young players on the ice. During his exit interview, Devils GM Tom Fitzgerald mentioned that he was willing to trade his first-round draft pick for the right player, but that was back when it was the fifth or sixth overall pick.

All of these things matter in the ensuing article. That’s because there have been some CRAZY offers for the second-overall pick. No, these aren’t the kind of crazy offers that will actually move the need for Fitzgerald. These are the types of deals that make us shake our heads and laugh at the opposing fanbase.

They are still worth talking about, if not for pure fun. We went on CapFriendly’s Armchair GM to see some of the trades being proposed. We only looked at deals being proposed by other fanbases. Let’s just say we were surprised at the “stars” fans were “willing” to give up here.

Montreal Canadiens trade proposal

Devils Get

Josh Anderson

Mattias Norlinder

27th-overall pick

Canadiens Get

2nd-overall pick

We’ve seen way too many iterations of this trade proposal. Josh Anderson is not worth the second-overall pick. No lie, we’ve seen AT LEAST a dozen different examples where Montreal Canadiens fans proposed a deal for the second-overall pick that surrounded Josh Anderson. Why in the heck would the Devils even consider it? We ran a poll on this, and it’s going about as well as you could imagine.

Out of curiosity, is there ANY #NJDevils fan who would be happy with Josh Anderson as the centerpiece of a 2nd-overall pick trade. Must comment if you are in favor of the deal!

— Pucks and Pitchforks (@pitchforkedpuck) May 29, 2022

Anderson is sitting on a contract that pays him $5.5 million for the next five seasons. That contract is atrocious right now for a player who had just 32 points this past season. He did score 19 goals on an obviously tanking Canadiens team, but he had eight of those points in November. He was consistently inconsistent the entire season.

Anderson is a fine player overall. He’s not someone you don’t want on your team, we guess. However, to even consider him the centerpiece of a trade that moves you up 25 picks to allow you to pick second overall and takes the Devils out of the top guys in a draft with very little depth is preposterous.

The Minnesota Timberwolves should trade their 1st Round Pick - Dunking with Wolves

gamagana.blogspot.com

After losing a frustrating first-round playoff series against the Memphis Grizzlies, the Minnesota Timberwolves will have the 19th pick in the upcoming 2022 NBA Draft.  And with that pick, the team will have plenty of options open to them. Use that pick? Trade that pick? If the team trades the pick, should it be to trade up? Trade back? Trade back to 2023? Or trade the pick(s) for a player?

While the 2021-22 season should be looked at as a general success for the Wolves, the end of the season brought up some glaring needs for this team to improve going forward.

First and foremost, these Minnesota Timberwolves need a true backup center. The roster has a general need for size, but the Wolves’ inability to consistently rebound was utterly exploited in the playoffs. Current backup center Naz Reid, who undoubtedly has shown upside, is simply not an answer as a backup center.

His rebounding and defensive weaknesses make him difficult to play at the 5 in crucial parts of a game, especially when Karl-Anthony Towns finds himself in foul trouble. Reid is likely better suited as a small-ball 5 or a hybrid 4 rather than a true center. The Wolves need an established center that can rebound and defend, especially when KAT is off the floor.

Aside from their biggest need, the Wolves need what every team needs: shooting, playmaking, defending.

Guard against a guard-heavy draft

Though new POBO Tim Connelly has a track record of finding gems later in the draft, finding a meaningful rotation player at 19 will be difficult for the Wolves. After the top five selections, this draft gets guard-heavy pretty quickly, so there will be few options for the Wolves to upgrade their interior with size and rebounding. On top of that, the last thing the Timberwolves’ front office would want is a first-round salary for a non-contributor eating away at their cap sheet (à la Josh Okogie).

The current roster has needs, but the current Wolves rotation will be tough for any rookie available late in the first round to crack. With that said, the Wolves should trade their first-round pick in a package for a more immediate contributor.

This isn’t to suggest the Wolves should go into ‘win-now’ mode. The Wolves are still a step or two away from being true contenders, with one of those steps being an improvement in rebounding and interior defense. Unless Mark Williams (Center – Duke) is available at 19, this need will be pretty tough to fill in the draft.

The roster needs immediate improvements after a first-round playoff exit because the Western Conference will be better next season with the presumable improvements of teams like the LA Lakers, LA Clippers, and New Orleans Pelicans. Making the playoffs this season was a success, but the Wolves cannot afford to be complacent this offseason. Packaging their 19th overall pick in a trade this season makes a ton of sense for the Timberwolves.

Let's make a deal: 5 trades we'd like to see - MLB.com

gamagana.blogspot.com

Yes, it's still early in the season -- after all, we're just at Memorial Day weekend. But the Aug. 2 Trade Deadline will be here before you know it, and it's never too early to start thinking about how clubs can bolster their rosters for the stretch run.

With that in mind, five MLB.com writers each came up with a trade idea that would make sense for five contenders that could use an upgrade here or there in their quest to win it all.

Here are five moves we'd like to see happen. (General managers, feel free to use these for inspiration.)

Luis Castillo to the Mets

The Mets entered the 2022 season with the promise of a super rotation, but we know what Robert Burns said about the best laid plans: They often go awry. Case-in-point: Injuries to Jacob deGrom, Max Scherzer and the emerging Tylor Megill. The Mets are still in the top half of the Majors in starters’ ERA, but reinforcements would certainly be welcome, even as the key injured starters work their way back.

Underlying stats indicate that Castillo’s results should be better so far this season, in a small sample after a late start due to right shoulder soreness. His expected ERA of 3.41, based on quality of contact, is almost a run lower than his actual ERA of 4.35.

And even when the full rotation is back and healthy, you can never have too much pitching. Castillo would remain a worthy contributor. Of course, this is also the type of trade that would benefit the Mets if it happened now, not at the end of July, which would likely make the ask from the Reds’ side even higher. -- Sarah Langs

Andrew Benintendi to the Padres

You look at the names in the Padres' outfield and you wouldn't necessarily think they need a new one: Wil Myers, Trent Grisham and Jurickson Profar currently man the outfield for San Diego. But then you look at the numbers. They just aren't hitting. Myers has a .242/.285/.317 slash line with just one home run in 130 plate appearances. Grisham has a .162/.265/.254 slash line and one homer in 167 plate appearances. Profar is batting .215 and slugging .380. San Diego has gotten the least offense from its outfield of any team.

Enter Benintendi. The 27-year-old lefty is having a career year at the plate. Benintendi is batting .323 with a .396 on-base percentage. He doesn't strike out (13.6% strikeout rate), swing and miss (19.8% whiff rate) or swing at bad pitches (21.0% chase rate) often. He makes a good amount of hard contact (41.4% hard-hit rate). There's a lot to like.

Benintendi will be a free agent at the end of this year, so he's someone the Royals should be willing to deal, especially if they can get a decent prospect. Benintendi has a good track record and he's in his prime, so he's worth going out and getting if you're the Padres, once again battling the Dodgers and Giants in the NL West. Maybe they can even sign him beyond 2022. -- David Adler

Frankie Montas to the Twins

The Twins reportedly discussed Montas in trade talks with the A’s back in March, but they ended up making a deal for a different starter just before their season opener, acquiring Chris Paddack from the Padres. Well, Paddack is done for the year after undergoing Tommy John surgery for the second time, leaving Minnesota short an arm. The additions of Sonny Gray and Chris Archer have worked out well so far, and up-and-coming righties Joe Ryan and Bailey Ober have been excellent, but this isn’t a team that should be standing pat, not with Carlos Correa likely to opt out after this season.

The Twins finished in last place in 2021, but the AL Central is there for the taking this year. Go get a bat and go get Montas, who can help this season and next before he’s eligible to test free agency. The 29-year-old has pitched to a 3.48 ERA with a 10 K/9 and a 3.7 K/BB ratio in 69 starts since the beginning of 2019.

Of course, Montas’ price tag won’t be cheap. Just last year, the Twins got back two Top 100 prospects -- infielder/outfielder Austin Martin and righty Simeon Woods Richardson -- from the Blue Jays for pitcher José Berríos, who had one-plus years of team control remaining at the time, like Montas does now. But it’s a price worth paying for a team in the midst of a historic streak of 18 straight postseason losses. -- Thomas Harrigan

Josh Bell to the Blue Jays

The Blue Jays regularly have only one or two left-handed hitters in their starting lineup these days, and Toronto’s left-handed batters are collectively hitting below .200 for the season. The Jays have incredible power from the right side of the plate with the likes of Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette and George Springer, but are in need of some pop from the opposite batter’s box. Enter the switch-hitting Bell, who is having a solid campaign at the plate in the second and final year of his contract with the Nationals after the Pirates dealt him to Washington prior to the 2021 season.

Bell is slashing .294/.374/.412 so far in 2022, and his strikeout rate of 11.2 percent is way below his career average of 18.3 percent. While the Jays have Guerrero at first base, a Bell/Guerrero rotation between first base and designated hitter could be a very good thing for Toronto. The Nationals, meanwhile, are headed nowhere fast as far as this season is concerned, and Washington could certainly stand to bolster a farm system that ranks in the bottom third of baseball.

With the Blue Jays’ lineup having been somewhat underwhelming over the first two months of the season, Toronto could benefit by swinging a Bell-type trade sooner rather than later, perhaps well before the Aug. 2 Trade Deadline. -- Manny Randhawa

Willson Contreras to the Astros

With the Cubs’ playoff odds dwindling close to 2% and Contreras a pending free agent, he could soon be the last member of the 2016 World Series champions to exit Chicago. Assuming that happens, there should be several suitors for a 30-year-old, two-time All-Star catcher enjoying the finest offensive season of his stellar career. The Yankees figure to come up here, as they so often do. But the Astros are another obvious fit if they can come up with a suitable package from a farm system that MLB Pipeline ranked 29th before Opening Day. Houston, trying to hold off the upstart Angels and land a top-two AL playoff seed, has another great shot to get manager Dusty Baker that long-awaited World Series trophy.

Primary catcher Martín Maldonado has been arguably the most offensively challenged regular hitter in the Majors this season. Fellow veteran Jason Castro hasn’t fared any better in more limited playing time. Now, there’s more to the story, to be sure. Maldonado in particular is a highly respected veteran who is lauded for his work with pitchers. (The Astros, once again, have one of MLB’s best staffs). Perhaps that’s a worthy trade-off for Houston, given the strength of the rest of its lineup.

Lexington Man Convicted of Possessing Stolen Trade Secret - Department of Justice

gamagana.blogspot.com

BOSTON – A Lexington man was convicted on Thursday, May 26, 2022 of possessing a stolen trade secret, the first-ever conviction following a criminal trial of this kind in the District of Massachusetts. 

Haoyang Yu, 43, was convicted following a month-long jury trial of possessing the prototype design of a microchip, known as the HMC1022A, which was owned and developed by Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI), a semiconductor company headquartered in Wilmington. The chip is used in aerospace and defense applications. U.S. Senior District Court Judge William G. Young scheduled sentencing for Sept. 15, 2022.

From 2014 to 2017, Yu worked at ADI, where he designed microchips used by the communications, defense and aerospace industries. As a result of his work, Yu had access to ADI’s present and future microchip designs, including their schematic files, design layout files and manufacturing files. 

While he was an ADI employee, Yu started his own microchip design firm, Tricon MMIC, LLC, and used the stolen HMC1022A design to manufacture a knock-off version of ADI’s chip. Yu began selling his version of HMC1022A prior to ADI’s release of its chip. ADI cooperated fully in the government’s investigation.

The jury acquitted Yu of other counts of possessing stolen trade secrets, wire fraud, immigration fraud, and the illegal export of controlled technology.

The charge of possessing stolen trade secrets provides for a sentence of up to 10 years in prison, three years of supervised release and a fine of $250,000. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and statutes which govern the determination of a sentence in a criminal case.

United States Attorney Rachael Rollins; James Brigham, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the Department of Commerce, Office of Export Enforcement, Boston Field Office; Matthew B. Millhollin, Special Agent in Charge of the Homeland Security Investigations in Boston; Joseph R. Bonavolonta, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Boston Division; and Michael Wiest, Special Agent in Charge of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, Northeast Field Office made the announcement. U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Coast Guard Investigative Service, Defense Criminal Investigative Service, Massachusetts State Police, Lexington Police Department and Hingham Police Department provided assistance with the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Amanda Beck, Jason A. Casey, John A. Capin of Rollins’ National Security Unit are prosecuting the case.

Lakers Rumors: Should LA Try to Trade for Zach Lavine? - Sports Illustrated

gamagana.blogspot.com

An All-Star with Los Angeles roots who's set to become a free agent is the perfect cocktail to induce wild speculation. Bull's swingman Zach Lavine is set to become a free agent this summer and a recent appearance in a TMZ Sports video, along with a classic LaVar Ball comment, have spurned wild rumors that Lavine could end up with the Lakers this offseason.

Bleacher Report's Eric Pincus, a NBA salary cap expert, noted the complexities of the Lakers somehow landing Lavine. We're talking double-black-diamond-during-a snowstorm level of difficulty here. 

Pincus explained that the only avenue the Lakers can explore in order to get Lavine is facilitating a sign-and-trade with Chicago. Lavine gets his money, the Lakers get their player. It would also require the Lakers to jettison Russell Westbrook and his $47M expiring deal.

But let's live in the fantasy for a bit - would inking Lavine to long term deal at an annual average of $37M be a good move for the Lakers?

Lavine has been an All-Star in his last two seasons with Chicago. The silky smooth Lavine can clearly score (25.8 PPG 2020-2022), shoot (40.4% 3PT%), and sacrifice for the betterment of the team. After Chicago, not Los Angeles, signed DeMar DeRozan last offseason, the former UCLA Bruin embraced his new teammate and adapted his game as the Bulls got out to a hot start.

Unlike Westbrook, Lavine has proven that he's willing to accept his role on a roster, even if it's not his preferred choice. 

Like Westbrook, he leaves a lot to be desired on the defensive end of the floor. 

Signing a 27-year-old two-time All-Star is typically a smart move, but his history of knee injuries is a bit concerning. This week, he underwent arthroscopic surgery on his routinely achy left knee.

Lavine hasn't played more than 70 games since his sophomore season in Minnesota (2015-2016). 

Do the Lakers want to hard-cap themselves in a hypothetical trade and swap Westbrook out with for a player almost as fragile as Anthony Davis and have him under contract for years to come?

If LeBron leaves the Lakers in the future, would a tandem of Lavine and Davis be able to contend for a title in what should be a highly competitive Western Conference?

The Lakers need to upgrade their roster next season, but they need a couple of ten-yard completions, not a Hail Mary pass.

Fantasy Baseball: Week 8 Trade values for Rotisserie and H2H, where there's still nothing wrong with Juan Soto - CBS Sports

gamagana.blogspot.com

USATSI

We've been here with Juan Soto before. You might have forgotten it because his numbers were so dominant by the end of the season, but Soto got off to a pretty lackluster start last season. On May 27 of last season, Soto was hitting just .281/.389/.413, with four homers, 21 runs, 16 RBI, and just one stolen base – a 19-homer, 176-runs/RBI pace that made him one of the biggest disappointments in Fantasy. 

There was enough concern about Soto that, even as late as June 24, I wrote a piece with the headline, "There's nothing wrong with Juan Soto, you should trade for him, and here's the evidence." As of that point, Soto had just a .825 OPS with eight homers in 61 games; he would, of course, go on to hit .340/.505/.612 from that point on to finish second in MVP voting with a .999 OPS overall.

Soto is off to another lackluster start this season, obviously. He's hitting .236/.379/.435, and one Fantasy Baseball Today listener emailed the show this week to offer a possible explanation for Soto's struggles: 

"Seems like he's been scuffling, and with the Nationals lineup being so mediocre, he isn't going to have many RBI opportunities and the runs aren't coming any time soon either. Then there's the sub .240 batting average. How much do you all think can be salvaged by what looks to be a rough season in that weak lineup? Might Soto be affected by the Nationals' lack of competitiveness?"

Run production numbers do certainly paint a pretty lackluster picture of Soto, who has just 14 RBI to go with 26 runs in 45 games. That actually puts him below his early-season pace from last season, and this Nationals lineup doesn't look like it's going to get much better from here. Should expectations be lowered for Soto as a result?

Of course, it's impossible to prove one way or another whether the Nationals' lack of competitiveness is a factor in Soto's struggles. On the one hand, he is human, and it might be tough to find the motivation to give it your all on a 15-30 team every night. On the other hand, the Nationals won just 65 games last season, so I'm skeptical that's really what is at play here. And, while the lineup context around him is dreadful, it's no worse than last year's – and if Nelson Cruz can get going, it should arguably be even better. 

That's not to say everything in Soto's profile is perfect, of course. His expected batting average has dropped to .284, after being above .300 each of the previous two seasons, and his average exit velocity (89.0 mph) and hard-hit rate (42.9%) are both down from his 2021 marks (93.0 mph and 52.7%, respectively). Soto hasn't been quite as good as he was in 2021, at least so far. 

Soto is chasing pitches out of the strike zone more than he did in 2021, though a 19.8% chase rate is hardly reason to be concerned. He's also seeing more pitches outside of the strike zone, so that's not a great combination, though again, nothing here is particularly alarming at this point in the season. 

Soto has increased his average launch angle to 8.1 degrees, the second straight season in a row that has increased, but he's still plenty of balls on the ground – his 50% groundball rate is only slightly lower than his 52.9% mark from 2021. If you're looking for a red flag, you'll find it on the other end of the batted-ball spectrum, as he has a 7.5% pop-up rate, nearly double last season's 3.9% rate. Pop-ups are pretty much guaranteed outs no matter how hard they are hit, so that could help explain his relative struggles, especially with batting average.

But the point to take away from this is that, where Soto is doing worse than last year, we're talking about pretty marginal changes, for the most part. And they are changes that, when it comes to a 23-year-old who has put together one of the best starts to a career in major-league history, shouldn't be too hard to overlook. Maybe Soto's struggles continue all season long, for one reason or another. I'm not saying that can't happen, obviously; Bryce Harper followed up his first MVP with a .243/.373/.441 season. But, Soto has earned more than enough of the benefit of the doubt from me that my view of him really hasn't changed very much. He's still a top-five player in both points and Roto in my latest Trade Values chart, with a trade cost in line with the best players in the league.

If you can get him for any kind of discount based on this start, even for just a late first-round type like Freddie Freeman or Mookie Betts, you should do it. Don't overthink it. Here's where Soto stacks up in my latest trade values:
