Knight was eligible for an extension of his rookie contract this offseason, but was unable to reach a deal to stay in Milwaukee before the Oct. 31 deadline. That means he will enter next summer as a restricted free agent, joining a crowded group of point guards scheduled to hit the market. But league executives don’t expect Knight to go very far. Certainly, if Knight has his way, he will sign the kind of contract he was looking for this summer from the Bucks, and keep himself in Milwaukee....

It will all feel a little familiar, or a lot familiar if you follow MLS. Beckham’s arrival as a player seven years ago was a historic moment for the league in that it gave MLS the world’s most recognizable soccer player for a few years. Beckham and MLS parlayed that into attention that helped boost the league’s profile, and he also played a little soccer too, reaching three MLS Cup Finals with the Los Angeles Galaxy, and winning one in each of his final two MLS seasons....
In contrast to the powers who fight “sprawl,” advocates of the new suburbanism focus on ways to make the periphery work better. It’s about bringing business and jobs, not just bedrooms, to the outer rings, and reviving main streets in smaller towns and cities, not just in major urban centers. In some senses, the new suburbanism seeks to recover the ideals of early advocates of decentralization such as the early-20th-century British visionary Ebenezer Howard, who proposed dispersing populations into largely self-sustaining “garden cities....
