LeBron James and Maverick Carter were seen with Nikola Jokic's agent
There has been a lot of talk lately that LeBron James, one way or another, is on his way out as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers and that they will look to essentially replace him with another superstar within the next couple of years. The belief is that the Lakers will try to go after either Giannis Antetokounmpo or Nikola Jokić next summer or during the summer of 2027. They reportedly want to keep a lot of salary cap space free for that purpose, which has led some to feel that they will essentially punt the next season or two and not try to win the NBA championship during that time. On his Instagram account, Misko Raznatovic, Jokic's agent, posted a photo of him with James and James' business manager, Maverick Carter, along with a cryptic caption. 'The summer of 2025 is the perfect time to make big plans for the fall of 2026!' This will undoubtedly spark speculation about James' future beyond the next handful of months. There have already been many rumors that he will eventually ask the Lakers to trade him soon, even though he exercised his player option for the 2025-26 season. Jokic, the three-time NBA MVP, who many still feel is the best basketball player in the world, can opt out of his current contract in the 2027 offseason. He just became the third player in league history to average a triple-double for an entire season, but he lost out on the 2024-25 regular-season MVP award to the Oklahoma City Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Thai, Cambodian Leaders Set for Peace Talks After Trump's Tariff Deal Threats
(Bloomberg) -- Thai and Cambodian leaders are set for talks Monday to halt the deadliest clash between the neighbors in more than a decade, with the US and China sending envoys after President Donald Trump used tariff threats to press for a ceasefire. The High Costs of Trump's 'Big Beautiful' New Car Loan Deduction Can This Bridge Ease the Troubled US-Canadian Relationship? Trump Administration Sues NYC Over Sanctuary City Policy Thailand's acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet are scheduled to meet in Kuala Lumpur at 3 p.m. local time, according to Thai government spokesman Jirayu Houngsub. The gathering will be at the office of Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, who's facilitating the dialogue in his role as the chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. The first talks since clashes began on July 24 come within 48 hours of Trump saying Thai and Cambodian leaders had agreed to 'quickly work out a ceasefire.' After separate calls with Phumtham and Hun Manet on Saturday, Trump had threatened that Washington would not do a trade deal with either as long as the fighting continued. Before departing for the talks, Phumtham questioned Cambodia's commitment as clashes continued into early Monday. The discussions will focus on ending the hostilities and maintaining Thailand's sovereignty, he told reporters. 'After everything that has happened, we don't trust that they have sincerity and determination to solve the problems,' Phumtham said. 'Today's discussions will be focused on ensuring safety for all civilians and stopping aggression into our territory.' The Thai army reported fighting at multiple locations along the border. Cambodia's defense ministry said Thai forces used heavy shelling at two locations from around 3 a.m., the Khmer Times reported, citing a spokesperson. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said US officials are on the ground in Malaysia 'to assist these peace efforts.' China, the top trading partner for both Southeast Asian nations and a major backer of Phnom Penh, is due to participate in the talks, officials from Cambodia said. 'Both President Trump and I remain engaged with our respective counterparts for each country and are monitoring the situation very closely,' Rubio said in a statement. 'We want this conflict to end as soon as possible.' Trump's tariff threat set off a series activities on Sunday with Anwar getting the two sides to agree to meet. Rubio also spoke to the foreign ministers of Thailand and Cambodia and urged them to immediately de-escalate tensions. Speaking to reporters just before meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Sunday, Trump acknowledged the phone calls with the two leaders. 'I called the prime ministers of each and I said, 'We're not going to make a trade deal unless you settle the war.' A lot of people killed,' Trump said. 'And I think by the time I got off, I think they want to settle now.' With Trump's Aug. 1 tariff deadline looming, trade-reliant Thailand wants to avoid antagonizing the US president, especially as its officials have been holding talks to lower the steep 36% planned levy on its exports. Trump has claimed credit for helping halt border clashes earlier this year between India and Pakistan by leveraging trade measures. It's an assertion India has consistently denied but Pakistan has embraced. 'When all is done, and Peace is at hand, I look forward to concluding our Trading Agreements with both!,' Trump said on Truth Social after speaking to Thai and Cambodian leaders Saturday. Thailand's trade talks with the US have included offering expanded access for American goods to narrow a $46 billion trade surplus. Neighboring Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam have already secured trade deals with the US in recent weeks. Thailand and Cambodia shouldn't have needed the pressure from Trump, and should have turned to Asean as a natural middle ground to mediate the conflict well before US intervention, said Fuadi Pitsuwan, a lecturer in international relations at Thammasat University in Bangkok. 'In the end, Trump will likely frame the situation as a win: he enforced a ceasefire while securing leverage' to impose punitive tariff rates, he said. Despite the economic stakes, Thailand has taken a firm stance ahead of Monday's talks. Officials say any ceasefire must be tied to bilateral resolution of the dispute, the withdrawal of troops, and a halt to the use of lethal weapons. Cambodia, by contrast, has said it is open to an unconditional cessation of hostilities. The talks are 'intended to listen to all proposals that could contribute to restoring peace,' spokesman Jirayu said. 'The Thai government remains committed to defending the nation's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Every square inch of it.' The conflict, which escalated from months of simmering border tension, has killed more than 30 people and displaced over 150,000 civilians on both sides. Thailand has reported 22 fatalities, including eight soldiers, while Cambodia has confirmed 13 deaths, including five military personnel. Heavy artillery fire continued Sunday across their 800-kilometer (500-mile) border, with both sides accusing each other of targeting civilians. Thailand has responded by deploying F-16s and Swedish-made Gripen fighter jets to strike Cambodian military positions. Thailand and Cambodia share a history of border disputes, though relations have remained largely stable since a deadly 2011 clash that left dozens dead. The last major flare-up centered on the Preah Vihear temple, a historic flashpoint rooted in colonial-era disagreements. Much of the current dispute stems from maps drawn on differing interpretations of early 20th-century Franco-Siamese treaties, which defined the border between Thailand and Cambodia, then part of French Indochina. --With assistance from Skylar Woodhouse.

How to get the best currency exchange deal for your holiday money
There has been a lot of talk about exchange rates recently, especially given how the pound has risen against the dollar and fallen against the strengthening euro since the start of the year. When these things happen, it's tempting to wonder if we should try to time our holiday currency exchange to make the most of it. However, this isn't as straightforward as you might think. It's incredibly difficult to second-guess where the currency market is heading, so you still risk buying at a bad time. If you buy months in advance, you also face leaving money lying around at home, where it's a security risk and it's attracting no interest. You could buy in two tranches, so you hedge your bets and definitely don't exchange it all at the worst possible time, but you need to beware of exchange fees or delivery costs — which will soon eat into any gain. Find the best deal For most people, the most sensible approach is not to try to become a part-time currency trader, but to find the best possible deal at the right time for you. This is usually available from a credit or debit card without fees for overseas spending. You can't choose when the exchange is made with these cards — it will happen at the point you spend, but the better exchange rate may make it worth it anyway. Read more: How to build passive income A quick spot check found that exchanging somewhere highly competitive on the high street would cost you £500 for €570, whereas spending on a fee-free card would cost £495. You don't need to switch current accounts to get a new debit card, you can open a second account just for holiday spending, and transfer cash into it when you need it. Shop around The second most cost-effective approach is to shop around using an online currency comparison tool. You don't need to be within easy reach of a host of foreign exchange bureaux to shop around — you can get it delivered to a supermarket or shop nearby, or if you're ordering a reasonable chunk of money you should be able to get free delivery to your home. Don't buy your currency on a credit card though, because this is treated as a cash withdrawal, so there could be a fee and interest to pay on top. What to avoid By far the most expensive approach to getting cash is to leave it to the last minute and buy at the airport. The same spot check found €570 would set you back £507 — £12 more than a card. If you have no choice other than to do this, use the online service to order in advance — even if you're travelling that day. As long as you do it a few hours in advance, you should get a slightly better deal. Read more: How to make pension pots tax-efficient The other pitfall to watch for is spending on your usual credit card or debit card without checking the charges. You could end up paying around 3% of the transaction amount — plus a flat fee of up to £1.50. Finally, if you opt for a card of any kind, make sure you're paying in the local currency. If a retailer gives you the option of paying in pounds, you can politely decline. If you opt for pounds, you're relying on whatever exchange rate the shop or restaurant sets, which will include a commission for them, so you're much better paying in the local currency and leaving the exchange up to the more: How to start investing with an employee share scheme How your health can affect your pension How to save money on your council tax billError in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
