SAN FRANCISCO — As the final day of the 2024 NBA Draft and the start of free agency approaches, Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy is clutching his cards so tightly that a cut remains on his chest. That’s evident when Dunleavy suggested Monday that trades are extremely difficult to structure and complete in today’s NBA. “In addition to certainly knowing the whole team, and I think I said this before, it’s just hard to make a deal,” he said during a news conference at Chase Center. “I can’t stress this enough, there are a lot of good teams out there…

Instead, she says the Muslim festival will become a chilling reminder of the lynching of her brother, Mohammed Fareed, 30 years ago in the city she has called home ever since she was born. “We couldn’t even give him ghusl (full ablution).
