Texas Tech softball is revamping its roster, adding more pitching and power
The first one being UCLA's Kaitlyn Terry, a two-way player who tallied 35 hits and 30 runs last season while also posting a 20-5 record, 2.64 ERA, and 172 strikeouts. A much-needed addition that will help take the load off of Nijaree Canady.
Next up is Tennessee's Taylor Pannell, an All-American redshirt sophomore who held a 1.240 OPS, a .398 batting average, 74 hits, 34 walks, 16 homers, and 65 RBI for the Lady Vols last season.
Mia Williams will also head to Lubbock after transferring from Florida. Daughter of former NBA champion Jason Williams, the second baseman posted a 1.144 OPS, 61 hits, 52 runs, 19 homers, and 44 RBI for the Gators. She was also named an All-American.
Ohio State catcher Jasmyn Burns is taking her talents to Lubbock as well. This past season the All-American sophomore had the fourth most home runs with 25, setting a program single-season record. Burns was a monster from the plate, being the eighth-best hitter in the nation, thanks to a .455 batting average, 14th in RBI with 72, fifth in slugging percentage (1.006), fifth in total bases (166), and seventh in OPS (1.546).
Jackie Lis, a three-time All-Missouri Valley Conference First Team selection and former MVP of the league, is the last to join the Red Raiders. During her time at Southern Illinois, Lis led the program to three MCV regular season titles. She is also the program's time leader in home runs with 44. This past season, Lis had 58 hits, 48 RBI, 33 walks, and a .358 batting average.

Kevin Durant to Rockets becomes official as part of historic 7-team NBA trade
The NBA offseason is still young, but we have likely already seen the biggest move. In late June, former MVP and two-time Finals MVP Kevin Durant was traded the Houston Rockets. Though the trade was still unofficial, fans already knew some parts of it. We knew that the Rockets were giving up Dillon Brooks, Jalen Green, and the 10th-overall pick of the 2025 draft. Fans thought that was that, but oh no. There was much, much more to this trade. On July 6, the trade became official, revealing that there were seven teams involved in the trade − the first such trade in NBA history, per ESPN. Six players, fifteen draft picks, and a bit of cash were all moved in order to move Kevin Durant to the Lone Star State. Here's what to know. NBA News: Knicks' new coach Mike Brown knows that it's championship or bust Which teams were involved in the trade? Obviously, the Houston Rockets and Phoenix Suns were involved, but other teams in on the action included the Atlanta Hawks, Brooklyn Nets, Golden State Warriors, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Los Angeles Lakers. What did each team receive? Why did it take so long for the trade to become official? The deal was not eligible to be completed until July 6, the start of the NBA's 2025-26 official year. The delay allowed teams to satisfy salary cap requirements and actually enabled Phoenix to move the second-round picks it earned in the trade around in order to alleviate some salary cap penalties they would've otherwise had to endure. What was the previous biggest trade in NBA history? Just one year ago, the league saw a six-team trade between the Dallas Mavericks, Golden State Warriors, Minnesota Timberwolves, Denver Nuggets, Charlotte Hornets, and Philadelphia 76ers. The biggest player involved in this trade was five-time All-Star Klay Thompson, who was sent from the Golden State Warriors to the Dallas Mavericks.

‘Houston, can't wait!': In social media post, Kevin Durant reflects on trade from Suns
'All these stops along the journey have really impacted me in a positive way,' Kevin Durant posted to X after his trade became official. 'Much love to Arizona. Houston, can't wait!' With his trade from the Phoenix Suns to the Houston Rockets now official, Kevin Durant took to social media on Sunday to reflect on the journey. Now 36 years old, Durant made his 15th NBA All-Star team with the Suns last season. While it was a disappointing season for Phoenix (36-46) as a team, the former Most Valuable Player (MVP) and future Hall of Famer was still dominant individually. In a post to X (formerly Twitter), Durant wrote: My time in Phoenix has come to an end. All these stops along the journey have really impacted me in a positive way. Remember it's a world behind the scenes, and those who make things work in that space... work tirelessly to make our lives easier as players. I appreciate all the quick interactions with everybody from support staff to teammates, distant cousins... it's all a family that I'm grateful to be a part of, no matter what. I truly believe this NBA is a one big community. Much love to Arizona. Houston, can't wait! With the Rockets, Durant will slide into a new-look starting lineup alongside Fred VanVleet, Amen Thompson, Jabari Smith Jr., and fellow All-Star Alperen Sengun. Houston finished 52-30 and with the second-best record in the Western Conference last season, and the hope is that the addition of Durant can help lift the team into true championship contention in 2025-26. Given that only one year is remaining on his current player contract, Durant clearly held some leverage in the recent trade negotiations, and Houston was reportedly among his three preferred destinations. Phoenix verbally agreed to the deal prior to the 2025 NBA draft in late June, and it became official Sunday on the first day of finalized transactions for the 2025-26 league year.
