But it wasn't just the money that had people talking. Rodriguez's daughters, Natasha and Ella, played a quiet yet powerful role behind the scenes, showing how this business win became a deeply personal family moment. Alex Rodriguez reaches NBA ownership milestone on June 27 with support from family On June 27, former MLB star and businessman Alex Rodriguez made headlines after a major financial milestone tied to his NBA investment. The news came after a report by @MSports_all surfaced on X, sharing that Rodriguez had finalized a $350 million deal involving the Minnesota Timberwolves. This move marks a major step in Rodriguez's long-term plan to gain majority control of the NBA franchise. But what caught even more attention was how his involved daughters, Natasha Rodriguez and Ella Rodriguez, were in the process. The father of two credited them for standing by him through the ups and downs of business life. The deal is part of Rodriguez's efforts with his business partner, Marc Lore, to fully acquire the Minnesota Timberwolves and the WNBA's Minnesota Lynx. The final purchase was years in the making, and the $350 million figure marks the latest round in that plan. How Natasha and Ella Rodriguez helped Alex Rodriguez reach NBA ownership dream Alex Rodriguez has always said his daughters mean everything to him. After his big NBA deal, he shared that Natasha and Ella helped him stay calm and focused. 'They keep me grounded,' he said during a small celebration. While not involved in the business, both girls supported him emotionally and were by his side during some important moments, even attending team events with him before the announcement. The full acquisition move had faced delays earlier this year due to financing issues. But this week, the final stage of the ownership transfer appears to be moving forward, with this $350 million round as a strong sign of commitment from Rodriguez and Lore. The celebration, according to insiders, included a small private event with close family and friends, where Rodriguez made it clear that this achievement wasn't just his alone. While no formal press conference has been held yet, many expect an official statement to follow in early July as the NBA signs off on the updated ownership paperwork. Rodriguez's rise from baseball superstar to NBA team co-owner continues to make headlines, but this time, it's the role of his daughters that is warming hearts across sports fans and business circles alike.

Houston Rockets shock fans by bringing back Jae'Sean Tate, Aaron Holiday and Jeff Green for 2025 NBA Season (Image Source: Getty Images) The offseason is heating up, and while big trades are grabbing headlines, the Houston Rockets are keeping things close to home. Instead of chasing new stars, they're choosing to reunite with three players already familiar with the team. That's what has fans buzzing this week after a new update made the rounds online. Houston Rockets plan return for Jae'Sean Tate , Aaron Holiday and Jeff Green On June 27, NBA insider Shams Charania reported on X that the Houston Rockets are planning to bring back Jae'Sean Tate, Aaron Holiday, and Jeff Green for the upcoming 2025-26 NBA season. The news was first picked up by ClutchPoints, and fans were quick to react. All three players suited up for the Houston Rockets last season. Jae'Sean Tate, aged 29, has been part of the team since 2020. He is known for his energy and defense, and often guarded several positions. 27 years old Aaron Holiday gave solid minutes as a backup guard. And Jeff Green, the 38-year-old veteran and former NBA champion, brought calm leadership to a young roaster. The move shows that Houston prioritizes chemistry and knowledge rather than flashy changes. While Rockets has not yet shared contract details, the re-signs will be expected when the free agency opens on July 1. Houston Rockets focus on experience and stability over big moves There's been no formal statement from general manager Rafael Stone or head coach Ime Udoka so far. But insiders suggest the front office sees value in keeping a core group that already knows the system. With young talent like Amen Thompson and Jabari Smith Jr. developing fast, bringing back veterans could help strike a healthy balance on the court. Jeff Green's voice in the locker room was reportedly one of the reasons the Rockets want him back. Aaron Holiday's Steady Guard Play was also valued in a backcourt full of youth. Although Jae'Sen Tate has fought injuries, he is still one of the team's most reliable and tough-minded defenders. Although the Houston Rockets may not steal headlines this week, their constant approach can pay off in the long term. In a league full of change, Rockets seems to say, "Stick to what works."

NHL-Jordan Kyrou of the St. Louis Blues (Credit: Getty Images) In what could be one of the more shocking developments of the NHL offseason, a trade rumor surfaced suggesting that the Buffalo Sabres declined a high-stakes offer involving St. Louis Blues forward Jordan Kyrou. As per a NHL insider Eklund, the Blues reportedly proposed Kyrou. Kyrou is currently on an 8year, $65 million contract. That too in exchange for Sabres winger JJ Peterka. The rumor has caused ripples across NHL circles. As Kyrou, a 26-year-old with back-to-back 70-point seasons, considered a top-tier offensive talent. However, the Sabres' front office allegedly didn't flinch at the proposal. Instead, they chose to retain Peterka, their 22-year-old German-born rising star who is coming off a breakout year. Breaking News: Huge NHL Trade - Buffalo Sabres Trade JJ Peterka to Utah Mammoth JJ Peterka seen as untouchable despite Kyrou's status What makes the reported rejection even more compelling. That is that Jordan Kyrou isn't just any player. His current contract, worth $65 million through 2031. This reflects his status as a central figure in St. Louis' offense, he notched 31 goals and 36 assists this past season. This reinforces his role as one of the team's most dynamic forwards. Although some fans questioned the move. Especially given Buffalo's 13th consecutive absence from the playoffs, and the team appears committed to developing its homegrown talent. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like nhà container: Xu hướng nhà ở hiện đại và bền vững 2025 Visionary Echo Tìm Ngay Undo Rather than making high-cost trades. For now, Peterka appears to be part of their core moving forward. Blues may explore other trade options after rejection From the St. Louis Blues' perspective, the alleged offer indicates a possible shift in strategy. After failing to make the playoffs, general manager Doug Armstrong appears open to shaking up the roster. Trading away a marquee player like Jordan Kyrou would have signaled a significant pivot. This potentially aimed at acquiring younger assets and rebooting their lineup. For now, both franchises remain in very different places strategically. And if this rumor holds weight. Buffalo's rejection could be seen as a major vote of confidence in their internal development pipeline.
