CHICAGO — As it turns out, the Bulls end up making a selection in the 2023 NBA Draft thanks to a trade. The team was able to swing a deal with the Wizards to acquire the 35th overall selection in the second round, allowing them to select Tennessee small forward Julian Phillips. Per Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Bulls are giving Washington a few future second round picks for this pick in 2023. It would be the only selection of the evening for executive vice president Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley. The Bulls' first round pick was traded away to the Magic in the March 2021 trade for Nikola Vucevic and their original second rounder went to the Wizards in a February 2019 trade that involved Jabari Parker and Bobby Portis. A second round pick acquired in the three-team trade with the Blazers and Cavaliers in August 2021 was forfeited by the Bulls due to tampering in the Lonzo Ball sign-and-trade with the Pelicans in the summer of 2021."We just target the most ...

Opinion: Cherry Creek school students drew swastikas on their arms. Our response is love.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:33:41 GMT

There’s nothing harder than having to tell a middle schooler they shouldn’t be ashamed to be Jewish. Last month, students in Cherry Creek School District drew swastikas on their arms and made antisemitic taunts to their Jewish classmates after watching a presentation about the Holocaust.As a local rabbi, the difficult task of counseling these students and families fell on my colleagues’ and my shoulders. The school disciplined the offending students and is working to implement a training program educating people about antisemitism. These initiatives are a great first step, but what is lacking in the school’s response is any clear direction for the Jewish students who were targeted. What can be done to ensure the victims feel safe coming back to school and feel secure in their Jewish identity?Although it may not be a daily occurrence here in Colorado, moments like these make us stop to think about what we can do to prevent this from happening in the future.Recently, the Biden W...

81-year-old angler angered by Colorado Supreme Court ruling vows new fight for freedom to wade

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:33:41 GMT

The fight for public freedom to wade in Colorado rivers is getting gnarlier, with fishermen mulling civil disobedience, following a high court ruling this month that, if judges stand by it on Friday, bolsters the state’s position that riverbeds can be private property.For a decade, this confrontation over who can fish where has revolved around longtime angling ace Roger Hill, 81, a retired Cold War-era physicist from Colorado Springs (his work helped in making nuclear missiles), who had rocks thrown at him as he was casting for trout, catch-and-release, along his favorite stretch of the Arkansas River near Cotopaxi. The owners of land adjacent to the river forced him to leave. He filed a lawsuit claiming a right, as a member of the public, to wade on the bottom of the river. He pressed this case, and won, until Colorado’s attorney general, with legal support from landowners, appealed to the Colorado Supreme Court and prevailed.The high court judges, in a unanimous ruling...
