The Boston Celtics have made 00:03:58.539 --> 00:04:01.500 a significant move in the offseason, trading 00:04:01.500 --> 00:04:04.680 Kristaps Porzingis in a three -team deal with 00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:08.780 the Atlanta Hawks and Brooklyn Nets. In this 00:04:08.780 --> 00:04:11.620 transaction, the Celtics will send Porzingis 00:04:11.620 --> 00:04:14.520 and a second round pick to the Hawks, while the 00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.699 Nets acquire Terence Mann and the Hawks' number 00:04:17.699 --> 00:04:23.079 22 overall pick. In return, Boston receives Georges 00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:27.339 Nying and another second round pick. This trade, 00:04:27.459 --> 00:04:31.300 reported by ESPN's Shams Turania, allows the 00:04:31.300 --> 00:04:36.079 Celtics to cut their salary by $22 ,500 ,000, 00:04:36.300 --> 00:04:40.560 reducing their payroll commitments to $203 million, 00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:45.079 though they remain $16 million over the luxury 00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:50.540 tax. In local sports, last night in Los Angeles, 00:04:50.740 --> 00:04:54.620 the Sox fell to the Angels 3 -2 in a tight 10 00:04:54.620 --> 00:04:58.439 -inning battle. Despite strong pitching, a walk 00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.699 -off two -run homer by Moore sealed their fate. 00:05:02.620 --> 00:05:06.000 Adam took the loss, while Herget snagged the 00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:09.459 win for the Angels. The Sox's lineup managed 00:05:09.459 --> 00:05:12.920 five hits, but couldn't capitalize at Angel Stadium, 00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:17.540 leaving Boston at 40 -41, while the Angels improved 00:05:17.540 --> 00:05:22.230 to 39 -40, holding their ground at home. Tonight, 00:05:22.430 --> 00:05:25.209 the Sox take on the Angels in Anaheim for the 00:05:25.209 --> 00:05:29.810 final game of this three -game series. Richard 00:05:29.810 --> 00:05:32.230 Fitz will start with an earned run average of 00:05:32.230 --> 00:05:36.949 4 .71 up against Yusei Kikuchi, sporting a 3 00:05:36.949 --> 00:05:41.850 .01.

Once dominant 00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:02.399 during the dot -com boom, both companies struggled 00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:05.579 to maintain their influence as competition intensified. 00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:09.160 According to court filings from Delaware, the 00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:11.720 merged company's assets are estimated between 00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:16.319 $50 million and $100 million, while liabilities 00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:21.230 range from $100 million to $500 million. Expert 00:06:21.230 --> 00:06:24.509 Hatim Rahman emphasizes that you have to continue 00:06:24.509 --> 00:06:27.949 to innovate and scale or perish in the competitive 00:06:27.949 --> 00:06:34.310 digital landscape. In business news, toy prices 00:06:34.310 --> 00:06:37.449 are rising sharply due to new tariffs impacting 00:06:37.449 --> 00:06:40.610 the industry, which heavily relies on imports 00:06:40.610 --> 00:06:44.750 from China. In May, toy prices surged by a record 00:06:44.750 --> 00:06:49.029 2 .2%, far exceeding the overall inflation rate 00:06:49.029 --> 00:06:53.899 of Analysts warn that this is just the beginning, 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:57.019 with potential cascading effects on prices and 00:06:57.019 --> 00:07:01.560 availability. Isaac Larian, chief executive of 00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:05.439 MGA Entertainment, noted, Prices have gone up. 00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:08.959 There's no doubt about it. Retailers are adjusting 00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:12.660 strategies, focusing on bestsellers, while companies 00:07:12.660 --> 00:07:16.160 like Mattel and Hasbro are grappling with economic 00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:20.279 uncertainty in job cuts. The reliance on China 00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:24.420 remains a critical issue for the sector.

And now, 00:08:28.069 --> 00:08:34.029 back to the show. Let's talk tech. DJI remains 00:08:34.029 --> 00:08:36.690 committed to the United States market despite 00:08:36.690 --> 00:08:39.549 the alarming absence of its drones from local 00:08:39.549 --> 00:08:43.340 retailers. A recent visit to a Best Buy store 00:08:43.340 --> 00:08:47.559 revealed zero DJI drones available for purchase, 00:08:47.820 --> 00:08:50.500 with the aisle completely cleared of products. 00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:55.139 A store employee cited concerns over U .S.-China 00:08:55.139 --> 00:08:57.740 relations as a reason for the lack of stock. 00:08:59.059 --> 00:09:02.659 DJI's own U .S. web store also shows no drones 00:09:02.659 --> 00:09:05.679 in inventory, and third -party listings on Amazon 00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.600 are limited. As concerns about tariffs and import 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:12.879 scrutiny grow, DJI may face challenges ahead, 00:09:13.100 --> 00:09:15.879 with a possible ban on new products looming. 00:09:18.340 --> 00:09:22.919 And in entertainment news, The Karate Kid Part 00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:27.120 3 sees Daniel and Mr. Miyagi returning to the 00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:30.299 Valley, but the film feels like leftovers from 00:09:30.299 --> 00:09:34.340 earlier installments. Director John G. Abelson 00:09:34.340 --> 00:09:37.980 envisioned a high -flying adventure set in 16th 00:09:37.980 --> 00:09:41.779 century China. but producer Jerry Weintraub disagreed. 00:09:42.419 --> 00:09:45.500 Instead, the film features Daniel investing his 00:09:45.500 --> 00:09:48.720 college savings into a bonsai tree shop, while 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:51.240 Cobra Kai's Kree steams up with the sinister 00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:56.059 Terry Silver to turn Daniel against Miyagi. Critics 00:09:56.059 --> 00:09:58.580 noted that the film's violence overshadowed its 00:09:58.580 --> 00:10:01.340 heart, leading to a disappointing box office 00:10:01.340 --> 00:10:06.759 return of $39 million. Roger Ebert lamented the 00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:09.700 exhausted character arcs. indicating it was time 00:10:09.700 --> 00:10:14.480 to move on. Well, all righty, folks, it's time 00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:18.419 for the quote of the day. And today, our quote 00:10:18.419 --> 00:10:21.580 comes from the American poet and essayist, Walt 00:10:21.580 --> 00:10:26.059 Whitman. And he said, I hear America singing 00:10:26.059 --> 00:10:29.580 the very carols I hear, celebrating the diverse 00:10:29.580 --> 00:10:34.240 voices that unite us in harmony. And that's a 00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:37.200 wrap for this morning. You can check out our 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:41.299 Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating 00:10:41.299 --> 00:10:44.419 aerial videos with local news and the weather 00:10:44.419 --> 00:10:48.080 reports.
