    Maybe none of those trades would happen, but most of them should if the Spurs are offering. Objectively, the Bucks should say yes to Wemby for Giannis given where each player is in their career trajectory. If you think defense counts, he might be better than Luka already. I love Tatum, but if...

    Wembanyamarama

    I’m not sure it’s hyperbolic to say Wembanyana has the highest ceiling of any player in NBA history. I’d be terrified of the injury risk with a 7’5” player, but I’m not sure I could realistically pull the trigger on a trade if I was the GM of the Spurs. Like, cap rules aside, I can’t come up...

    2024 NFL General Season News and Notes

    Extremely thin. Like, Shakir and… ? Lots of slot work for Kincaid m, I guess. Feels like they spent the last 2-3 years looking for a third WR and now they need to add a one and two as well. Not that I’m complaining…

    2024 Mock Drafts are more fun than this boring, awful Patriots Team

    I’d be surprised if Guyton lasts into round 2, but I’d be pretty happy with this outcome. I have no real basis for liking Hatten, but if listed numbers are close to accurate he’s got NFL size, dominant production against lower level competition, and never drops the ball. Feels kinda Jakobi-ish?

    2023-24 Celtics

    Last year vs. teams below .500, 24-10 This year vs. teams below .500, 26-1 That’s almost unbelievable. Even when some key guys rest, this team does not take nights off.

    Patriots' 2024 Free Agency Thread

    I’d think I’d rather try to pry Aiyuk away from SF for something like #34 and a 2025 second round pick if they would take that, although it might be a bit light. I’d be reluctant to include a future first since it could easily land in the top 10 again…

    Patriots' 2024 Free Agency Thread

    The Pats new OC was in Cleveland when DPJ was phased out, so unless that was a HC driven decision over the objections of his offensive staff I’d be surprised if we see the Pats show interest. Hard to know what to make of Chark given the dumpster fire of a situation he was in last year, but I...

    Calvin Ridley, you in?

    That list of contracts for WR changing teams is pretty terrifying. Perfectly happy seeing Ridley go elsewhere at those numbers… View: https://twitter.com/ihartitz/status/1768025888212332575?s=46

    Patriots' 2024 Free Agency Thread

    I’d trade a mid/late round pick for Allen in a heartbeat. I get that the team is rebuilding, but you want to have some pieces on offense. We’ve seen several examples across the league of what giving a young QB some weapons can do and should be thinking about team building through the lens of...

    Patriots' 2024 Free Agency Thread

    Keenan Allen is only not a number one in the same way that we only call like a half dozen pitchers #1s on the main board. Last year was actually the second most productive year of his career despite only playing 13 games. He was 11th in receiving yardage last year and 4th in yards/game. He had...

    Josh Uche Re-signs

    Reportedly $3mn with incentives that can take it up to $8mn. Cheaper than I thought. https://x.com/albertbreer/status/1767640391640047854?s=46

    Non-Patriots Free Agency News 2024

    Wow, CAR has messed things up pretty bad… From Scott Barrett: If you combine the Bryce Young trade with the Brian Burns trade (the declining of the Rams' offer before later accepting the Giants' offer), then the Panthers traded: + 2024 1.01 / QB Caleb Williams + WR D.J. Moore + 2023 Round 1...

    3/3 vs. Golden State

    The Jays have 56 points on 32 shots. Unreal.
