Why Trayce Jackson-Davis could be a perfect fit for Warriors

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 18:51:20 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Trayce Jackson-Davis grew anxious as each pick passed. The Indiana Hoosier center had been tabbed a late-first or early-second-round pick, but teams were passing on him.At 9:15 p.m. PT, Jackson-Davis fired off a tweet.“Y’all will regret it,” he said. “I promise you.”Almost every NBA team had called to strike a deal, his agent James Dunleavy told him, but most picks fell through and others came in only with two-way contract offers. Dunleavy — brother of new Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. — assured him that a guaranteed contract would arise.“I was anxious. I got upset and let the tweet fly,” he said on Friday at an introductory press conference at Chase Center. “Same time, I play with a chip on my shoulder.”About an hour after Jackson-Davis, 23, sent his tweet, the Warriors came calling with a guaranteed spot. Golden State entered the draft with no second-round picks, but swung a trade with t...

Infighting boils over as accusations fly within Oakland Police Commission

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 18:51:20 GMT

OAKLAND — The powerful oversight body responsible for finding Oakland’s next police chief is caught in a messy internal fight over its own leader’s job performance.With tensions ratcheting up even further this week, the deepening divisions in the Oakland Police Commission raise questions about whether the civilian-led group can effectively oversee reform of a police department seeking an end to federal oversight.On Thursday night, the commission selected a firm that will conduct a nationwide search for the department’s new chief — a position that has been vacant for four months.But at the same meeting, the group’s chair, Tyfahra Milele, took the growing conflict a step further, suggesting that the calls from other commissioners for her to step down stem not from a political disagreement but a venting of personal issues.“My scholarly work was on trauma, and now it’s common knowledge that trauma is most often caused by the traumatized,&#...

OAKLAND — A former U.S. Air Force sergeant convicted of murdering two law enforcement officers in separate ambush-style attacks in 2020 is now apparently concerned that a recent court filing will damage his reputation in prison.Attorneys for Steven Carrillo, who pleaded guilty to murdering Federal Protective Services Officer David Patrick Underwood in Oakland and Santa Cruz Sheriff’s Sgt. Damon Gutzwiller in Ben Lomond, filed a recent court document pushing back against statements made by Carrillo’s co-defendant in the Underwood murder case. The attorneys for Robert Allan Justus, who is set for trial in September, claimed Carrillo gave a recent FBI interview regarding Underwood’s killing.Both murders were motivated by Carrillo and Jutus’ ties to the so-called Boogaloo Movement, a loosely organized anti-government group that believes a second Civil War is imminent.The recent opposing court filings demonstrate just how far Carrillo and Justus have fallen ...
