Trump vows to pursue executions after Biden commutes most of federal death rowOttawa firefighters extinguished a fire that started at the top of 22-storey apartment building in Overbrook on Monday afternoon. Ottawa Fire Services say in a news release they received multiple 911 calls with reports of smoke and flames coming from a structure in the 200 block of Donald Street shortly before 12:10 p.m. Crews on scene confirmed the flames were coming from a unit on the top floor and began a "fast attack" on the fire inside. One they located the burning unit, they had to force entry. "Upon entry, the apartment was full of smoke causing zero visibility conditions," Ottawa fire said. Firefighters began searching for any occupants, but two full searches of the unit found no one inside. An Ottawa paramedics spokesperson reported no injuries. The fire was declared under control shortly before 1:25 p.m. Fire crews ventilated the building and checked the air quality before allowing residents to return to their homes. An Ottawa fire investigator has been dispatched to determine the cause. Shopping Trends The Shopping Trends team is independent of the journalists at CTV News.

In the six years that Jimmy Butler has been on the Miami Heat , he's led them to two NBA Finals appearances, been named Eastern Conference Finals MVP during one of those runs, been named an All-Star twice, made All-NBA teams and essentially kept the team competitive even when the roster was lacking in top-end talent alongside him and Bam Adebayo . Butler's been one of the best guards in the league during this run with the Heat, and while injuries have handicapped him over the years, Butler, when healthy, is one of the most formidable scorers and defenders in the league. This season, Butler has averaged 19 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.2 steals, and helped the Heat to a 12-10 record, which is good for fifth in a weak Eastern Conference. The Heat have the 12th-best net rating in the league, due to the efforts of Butler, in addition to Adebayo and the ascension of Tyler Herro . But Butler's in the last year of his contract with a $52.4 million player option next season, and without a contract extension agreed upon prior to the start of the season, there were always questions about Butler's future with the Heat. With the NBA trade deadline two months away, we now have a clearer picture of Miami's plans. The Heat are reportedly "open to listening to offers for Butler and making a deal if the proposal is right." That doesn't mean that Butler will be traded for sure, but the All-Star guard does have a list of preferred destinations if a trade were to materialize. Butler wants to be traded to a title contender, and sees the Golden State Warriors , Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets as preferred landing spots, per the report. With Butler's wish list in mind, let's breakdown all three destinations as trade season begins to heat up. Golden State Warriors The Warriors have reportedly been looking to add another star player alongside Stephen Curry . The team tried to land Paul George in the offseason, and attempted to facilitate a trade for Lauri Markkanen . Neither worked. But that's not stopping Golden State from remaining aggressive this trade season. On the surface, adding Butler makes sense for the Warriors. He's a proven veteran who can assimilate to any team's style of play. He can play with or without the ball in his hands, is experiencing his most efficient season from inside the arc -- 55.7% shooting to be exact -- and Butler's defense would only strengthen Golden State's fourth-ranked unit. The caveat here, though, is that any trade for Butler would be costly and difficult. He's making $48.7 million this season, so the Warriors would need to send out several important players just to acquire him. It would probably have to start with Andrew Wiggins , who is making $26.2 million this season, and would also likely cost young guys like Jonathan Kuminga and/or Brandin Podziemski . But the Warriors have been reluctant to trade both Kuminga and Podziemski in the past, and Kuminga specifically has been trending in the right direction. In the last six games, he's averaging 19.3 points and 4.5 rebounds, and has been given more opportunity as recently as being placed in the starting lineup instead of Green due to his downhill capabilities. Podziemski's efficiency has been down across the board this season, so perhaps the Warriors would be more willing to trade with him now than they were in the past. Beyond the roster gymnastics the Warriors would have to do in order to acquire Butler, his age (34) and injury history should also make the Warriors hesitant to trade for him, especially since they've maintained that they want to operate on this dual-timeline with= veterans and younger players. Dallas Mavericks The Mavericks did their roster reconstruction in the offseason by adding Klay Thompson, picking up Quentin Grimes and signing Naji Marshall . While Thompson's production has waxed and waned this season, Grimes and Marshall have been valuable additions on both ends of the floor. Kyrie Irving is flirting with a 50-40-90 season, and Luka Doncic has rounded into MVP form after returning from a wrist sprain. Dallas looks every bit as solid as people expected them to be after reaching the NBA Finals a season ago, and quite frankly it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility that they do nothing at the trade deadline. But players of Butler's caliber don't become available every day, and if he puts you on his list, you have to at least think about the possibility. But similar to the Warriors, a trade to land Butler for the Mavericks wouldn't be easy. And it makes less sense for Dallas than it does for Golden State. Getting Butler would cost the Mavericks practically all the depth they spent time cultivating over the last several years, and as good as Butler is, having a top-heavy roster with zero depth typically only gets you so far. Houston Rockets The Rockets are perhaps the most intriguing team on this list. No one expected them to be sitting third in the Western Conference with a little over a quarter of the season in the books. But they've been the surprise team of the season due to a standout year from Jalen Green , continued emergence of Alperen Sengun and the steady guidance of veteran guard Fred VanVleet . Ime Udoka should get heavy consideration for Coach of the Year, as the Rockets are on pace to return to the playoffs after a four-year absence. Houston has been patient in its rebuild, using the draft to select young talent with upside and bringing in quality veterans to give this team balance. This past summer they were rumored to want to trade for Kevin Durant , indicating they're ready to sit at the grown-ups table after several years of losing. Unlike the Warriors and Mavericks, the Rockets can pull off a trade for Butler without giving up too many key rotation pieces. It's unclear what the Heat would want in return for Butler, but assuming they'd want to retool instead of full-on rebuild given the rest of the roster, perhaps someone like Jabari Smith Jr. could be on the trading block. The Rockets have a swath of young talent, and while Smith has shown promise in his three years, he's averaging a career-low 11.5 points a game while shooting just 43.1% from the field. If the Rockets plan on making the duo of Green and Sengun their core of the future, as well as second-year small forward Amen Thompson who has shown great promise this season, then parting with Smith to add Butler may be the move. The Rockets could fill out the rest of that trade package with veterans like Steven Adams , Jeff Green and add in Dillon Brooks as well. That is, of course, if the Rockets think Butler is the right fit for this team to unload all those assets. Butler would add to the stout second-ranked defense the Rockets already have, and give Houston another weapon on offense, especially in clutch situations. But this is one of those situations where Houston has to decide if trading for an aging All-Star right now is the move they want to make. This core has been so impressive already, and if Butler is already planning on becoming an unrestricted free agent this summer, which ESPN has already reported is his plan, then it wouldn't make sense for the Rockets -- or any other team on this list -- to give up a lot of assets when they could try to sign him outright in 2025.On Tuesday, the Dolphins added another chapter to their disappointing 2024 by announcing that outside linebacker Bradley Chubb won't play this season. Per ESPN Dolphins reporter Marcel Louis-Jacques, Miami declined to activate his window to return form injury, ending any chance of Chubb playing this season. Dolphins LB Bradley Chubb will not be activated by tomorrow's deadline -- he is officially done for the season Chubb suffered a devastating knee injury on Dec. 31, 2023, tearing his ACL, meniscus and patellar tendon. The Dolphins (7-8) have fallen short of preseason expectations. With two games remaining, they're three games short of their over-under win total before the season began (10 wins). Miami must win out and receive help to make the playoffs for a third consecutive season. It will be without one of its top 2023 edge-rushers in its last-ditch effort to qualify for the postseason. Last year, Chubb had 11 sacks in 16 games, his most since posting 12 sacks as a rookie in 2018. The Dolphins acquired Chubb from the Broncos for a 2023 first-round pick — which Denver used in its trade with the Saints for head coach Sean Payton — at the 2022 trade deadline . Chubb has three years remaining on a five-year, $110M extension he signed with the Dolphins after being traded. His 2025 cap hit is $29.3M , a roughly 85% increase from this season ($15.9M). With rookie Chop Robinson's emergence, Chubb could be expendable. Robinson has six sacks, all in his last eight games. As ESPN's Bill Barnwell noted, Robinson has produced "quick pressures at the highest rate of any pass rusher in football." Chop Robinson's generating quick pressures at the highest rate of any pass rusher in football. Not among rookies. Among everyone. He's a star. https://t.co/EBH1Px1R26 However, Louis-Jacques reported Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said the decision to shut Chubb down for the season wasn't "based on anyone but Bradley." Did Chop's play impact Miami's decision with Bradley Chubb? McDaniel: "No decision was made based on anyone but Bradley -- this is his career and I don't take that lightly. He's worked very hard and we made that decision independent of where we're at with the season." https://t.co/OPu9cUwVVV With Miami staring at sizable cap numbers from wide receiver Tyreek Hill ($27.7M) and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa ($39.4M), it might be better suited to using the money earmarked for Chubb on bigger needs. However, Louis-Jacques notes that the Dolphins would only see savings by designating Chubb as a post-June 1 cut. If released before June 1, Miami would save $1.9M while incurring a $27.4M dead cap charge. If he were a post-June 1 cut, the Dolphins would have $9.1M in dead cap in 2025 and $18.3M in 2026 while saving $20.2M in 2025. Miami already has $17.1M in 2025 dead money, including $15.7M to former cornerback Xavien Howard. Adding to that total might not make as much sense as getting a production season from Chubb. For those curious about the ramifications if the Dolphins were to release Bradley Chubb this offseason. PRE 6/1 trade/release 2025 dead cap: $27.4M 2025 savings: $1.9M POST 6/1 trade/release 2025 dead cap: $9.1M 2025 savings: $20.2M 2026 dead cap: $18.3M As Louis-Jacques also noted, a pass-rushing trio that includes Chubb, Robinson and Jaelan Phillips, who suffered a season-ending ACL injury in Week 4, the Dolphins could be formidable. I don't think this is likely to happen, for what it's worth. Chubb, Phillips and now Chop all rank in the top-10 among pass rushers in pressure rate and pass rush win rate since 2022 (obviously smaller body of work for Chop) Exciting trio if you can get them all healthy https://t.co/49AwULvJp1 The Dolphins need Chubb to return healthy and produce like he did in 2023. With their salary cap situation, they have no other option.
The Washington Commanders released 2023 first-rounder Emmanuel Forbes on Saturday, cutting ties with another high draft pick from the previous regime. All of previous coach Ron Rivera's first-rounders — including edge rusher Chase Young in 2020, linebacker Jamin Davis in ‘21 and wide receiver Jahan Dotson in '22 — are now gone. Forbes never showed progress to the new staff led by coach Dan Quinn and was a healthy scratch twice this season and did not play in two other games during which the 23-year-old was in uniform.US President-elect Donald Trump's proposals to impose sweeping tariffs on imports could counter earlier efforts to cool inflation, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Tuesday, warning that consumer prices could rise. Her comments at the Wall Street Journal's CEO Council Summit come as Trump has vowed broad tariffs of at least 10 percent on all imports, and higher rates on goods from China, Canada and Mexico. Imposing broad-based tariffs could "raise prices significantly for American consumers and create cost pressures on firms" which rely on imported goods, Yellen said when asked about Trump's plans. She cautioned that this could weigh on the competitiveness of certain sectors and increase costs to households. "This is a strategy I worry could derail the progress that we've made on inflation, and have adverse consequences on growth," she said. But she defended efforts by President Joe Biden's administration to impose targeted tariffs on Chinese goods to counter unfair trade practices by Beijing. She has previously raised concern over China's industrial overcapacity -- which risks a flood of underpriced goods into global markets and could undermine the development of key US industries. On Tuesday, Yellen also expressed regret that the United States has not made more progress on the country's deficit, saying she believes it "needs to be brought down, especially now that we're in an environment of higher interest rates." She stressed the importance of an independent Federal Reserve too, saying that countries perform better economically when central banks are allowed to exercise their best judgment without political influence. Trump has said that he would like "at least" a say over setting the Fed's interest rate. "I think it's a mistake to become involved in commenting on the Fed and certainly taking steps to compromise its independence," said Yellen. "I believe it tends to undermine the confidence of financial markets and, ultimately, of Americans in an important institution," she added. Yellen noted that she has spoken with Trump's Treasury chief nominee, billionaire hedge fund manager Scott Bessent, congratulating him on his nomination. bys/bjtNEW YORK — Federal prosecutors on Friday urged a judge to deny Sean “Diddy” Combs’ latest bid for release from jail, arguing his consistent rule-breaking shows he “cannot be trusted.” In Manhattan federal court, Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik said Combs had demonstrated he could not abide by “any conditions” of release.
