Here’s the latest from Kingdome’s sister site, Know Hitter:

  • Spanish striker Alvaro Morata is quickly making countryman Fernando Llorente expandable at Juventus.
  • The Miami Heat’s acquisition of Goran Dragic (and his brother Zoran) have the team in a good place, thanks to the small price they paid to acquire the former All-NBA Third Team point guard.
  • Philly was active on the trade front as well, as the 76ers brought in the likes of JaVale McGee and Isaiah Canaan and a haul of draft picks for the likes of Michael Carter-Williams and K.J. McDaniels. Know Hitter deemed the team as one of the winners of the trade deadline.
