Nasr’s latest book is Iran’s Grand Strategy: A Political History. Subscribers can watch our discussion on the video box atop…

Do you remember Donald Trump’s first presidential announcement speech, made 10 years ago today? He entered the room via a Trump Tower escalator ride with wife Melania.

Jaren Jackson Jr. and the Memphis Grizzlies were previously expected to agree to a renegotiate-and-extend contract this offseason and the mechanics of that type of deal became easier following the team’s trade of Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic. “He is now in a position to sign a contract extension of over $200 million,” said Brian Windhorst on Monday. “I would feel like that is very strongly going to happen.” Jackson is considered highly unlikely to be traded by the Grizzlies and their decision to move on from Bane shouldn’t be interpreted as the beginning of a rebuild where Jackson…
