Vegas has the 49ers as +1500 to win next year's Super Bowl, which only makes sense if they know they're getting Watson.

Having an elite QB and no talent around him is not much better than not having an elite QB. Houston had Watson this year and won 4 games, two of which were against the Jaguars.

That's great in a vacuum, but you also have to consider the acquisition cost. Goff and JG are mediocre at best but would cost almost nothing to get. The Patriots have lots of holes to fill and can't afford to give up multiple picks to get a top notch QB. They're going to have to find a diamond...

I don't think Sacramento was ever going to trade that pick, but would the Spurs or Suns have traded pick 11 or 10? There's a good chance the players they wanted would have been available at 14, and they could have picked up another pick.

I wonder how hard Danny was trying to trade up to get him as he skid down the board, and what teams were asking for. I remember so many of us wanting the Celtics to find a way to draft him. Would you trade Nesmith and PP for him right now? I would.

We men have been told through movies and TV shows our whole lives that women dig persistence. If you want a woman enough, all you have to do is keep declaring your love for her over and over, and never take no for an answer, and eventually she will give in and give you a chance and fall in love...

What if you sell it to Kemba as load management? They're going to limit his minutes by bringing him off the bench. Not a demotion, just a response to his injury. If PP is really the real deal , maybe this time next year we're talking about trading Kemba away to some place where he can start...

This will finally answer the question: Is having Mike Tomlin a better option than having no coach at all?

All he was saying was that 2020 was not comparable to 2000 as far as what it meant for the future of the team. Which is classic Felger, arguing against a point that no one ever tried to make, in a way that is guaranteed to be misunderstood.

LeBron, Durant, AD, and Kawhi are four of the five best players in the league, and the teams they play for didn't have to do anything to get them except exist. And those teams currently have the best odds to win this year's title. Maybe that isn't a long term trend, but I worry that it's the...

This is going to be a very weird regular season.

I don't know if it's a problem that the best players in the league are now more powerful than they've ever been before. But it sure seems like at this moment in time the best way to assemble an NBA title contender is to be a place where the best players want to play. Sure, Toronto won a single...

Why isn't Paul George lumped in with those other two?

It doesn't require any great skill to have a lot of cap space after being a terrible team for several years in a row. And their incredibly deep team was a playoff non-factor last season, so their team building is like 10% responsible for how good they are.

I enjoy sports on two levels. First, and most importantly, I enjoy the thrill of watching unimaginably talented people performing amazing athletic feats, especially if they're players on a team I root for. And I enjoy the tension of hoping my team or my player will win. But I, like most of...
