For those with $40 million to spare, you too can now live like an NBA All-Star. Mavericks center Anthony Davis has put his eight-bedroom Los Angeles mansion on the market for $39.9 million following his in-season trade from the Lakers, according to TMZ. Davis, 32, landed in Dallas in February after Los Angeles included him in the shocking Luka Doncic trade. 8 Anthony Davis has put his palatial LA mansion on the market. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post 8 The stunning estate is listed at $39.9 million. Jeff Elson 8 The home boasts eight bedrooms. Jeff Elson The palatial 17,254-square-foot estate is located in a gated Bel Air Crest community and has an extensive list of amenities. The home features an elevator, game room, home gym, barber shop, lounge, theater, wet bar, wine cellar, tennis court, Olympic-sized pool, outdoor kitchen and even a batting cage, per TMZ. The residence is also said to include a wellness center that boasts a plunge tub and sauna.

Murray-NY Post Davis' 2024-25 season saw him limited to 51 games due to injuries, including just nine with the Mavericks following the controversial trade. He averaged 24.7 points and 11.6 rebounds per game. The Mavericks are hoping a healthy Davis and No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg can help erase some of the fans' ill feelings toward the Doncic maneuver and help return the franchise to contender status. Davis underwent offseason surgery for a detached retina in his right eye that ailed him during the regular season. He is expected to be ready for training camp, per ESPN. He posted a cryptic emoji-only message to his Instagram Story Thursday, featuring just a sighing emoji and praying hands.

Ex-Steelers RB Cordarrelle Patterson goes viral after claiming he's 'jobless'
Cordarrelle Patterson's Steelers tenure didn't end the way he had hoped — but that hasn't stopped the All-Pro kick returner from creating comedy out of the situation. After hilariously revealing on social media that he had been released on his day off, Patterson took to Instagram with an even funnier take — claiming he was "jobless" with a photo of him mopping floors. Despite an uneventful, injury-riddled 2024 season with Pittsburgh, Patterson's legacy as one of the greatest kick returners of all time is unmatched. Steelers fans will best remember Patterson for entertaining attempts to recruit big-name wide receivers to Pittsburgh — such as Davante Adams, DK Metcalf, and Mike Williams, the latter of whom actually wound up in the Steel City this season. One has to wonder how much Patterson has left in the tank at 34 years old, but considering his four First-Team All-Pro selections, three Second-Team All-Pro selections, four Pro Bowl nominations, and being named to the NFL 2010s All-Decade Team, it's safe to say he's deserving of First-Ballot Hall of Fame consideration.

Where the stalemate stands between Jonathan Kuminga, Warriors
By Oct. 1, we will know where Jonathan Kuminga is playing basketball next season. That's the date Kuminga would have to pick up the $7.9 million qualifying offer and play next season with the Warriors. That is a 'nuclear option' (as Sam Amick of The Athletic put it) that neither side wants, but Kuminga's social media post that he is willing to bet on himself suggests he's considering it. Jonathan Kuminga's latest Instagram story: 'I'll bet on myself all day' with his agent tagged and pictured next to him There has been a lot of sound and fury around Kuminga's restricted free agency, so far signifying nothing. Here is where things stand right now, according to multiple reports. • Kuminga rejects Warriors' offer. The Golden State Warriors offered Kuminga a two-year, $45 million contract. While Kuminga would like a larger payday — his agent reportedly countered with three years, $82 million — the bigger reasons he rejected the offer was because Golden State is insisting on a team option for the second season, and that Kuminga waive the built-in no-trade clause would come with a two-year deal, reports Shams Charania and Anthony Slater of ESPN. • The money is similar everywhere. Kuminga reportedly was seeking something close to $30 million a season, but the market is not offering more than the low $20 million a year range. The Warriors' offer was two years, $45 million ($22.5 million per year average). The Kings offered three years, $63 million ($21 million average), Amick reported. Kuminga's agent, Aaron Turner, spoke with Phoenix, which reportedly offered him four years, $90 million — exactly what the Warriors offered per year, just with more years. • Suns, Kings trade offers not impressing Warriors. The hope for both Kuminga and the Warriors at the start of free agency was to find a sign-and-trade that landed Kuminga in a new home and brought players and picks back to the Bay Area that the Warriors wanted. Sacramento and Phoenix have talked sign-and-trade with the Warriors, but no offer has come close to being accepted. Sacramento offered a package based around Dario Saric, Devin Carter and a lottery-protected first-round pick, but the Warriors rejected it, reports Jason Alexander at the Sacramento Bee. The Warriors want the pick to be unprotected. They would also like Keon Ellis included in the deal, but he is off-limits according to the report (as is Keegan Murray, but that should go without saying). Phoenix's trade offer is rumored to be something along the lines of Royce O'Neale, Nick Richards and three second-round picks, but Amick reports the Warriors have shown 'zero interest' in that offer, adding: 'Per team sources, the talks between the Suns and Warriors have never progressed in any serious manner.' Does Kuminga take the qualifying offer? We are a long way from that needing to happen, and there is good reason for both sides to find a middle ground before then. For the Warriors, that qualifying offer comes with a no-trade clause, meaning they might not be able to trade him and next summer Kuminga walks out the door for nothing. For Kuminga, playing a season at $7.9 million leaves a lot of money on the table. In a career where your window to earn top dollar is not very long, and that doesn't even mention the risk of serious injury or something that could hurt future earnings. Kuminga, 22, averaged 15.3 points and 4.6 rebounds in 47 games last season (he missed time with an ankle injury). Right now, more than six weeks away from training camp even opening and a couple of months out from the Oct. 1 deadline, everyone can do their public posturing. There is some pressure on the Warriors to resolve the Kuminga situation so they can formally sign Al Horford and finalize their roster, but they can afford to wait a while. Eventually, the sides will likely find a middle ground. For now, Kuminga is the biggest offseason drama still on the board, and that's drawing a lot of interest.
