    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    100%. And, while certainly not the desired outcome, if you miss at QB at 3, you're going to continue to suck, so you will have the opportunity to add a few blue chippers before you take a swing at QB again.

    Tyron Smith, you in?

    Depends on what they do at 3. If they elect to trade back, then we should look at next year as another rebuilding year which leads to high pick, and do the following: draft one of the elite tackle prospects with the First we get back go WR in Round 2 Zappe or cheap cheap FA at QB and feed him...

    Xavier Tillman to Celtics for 2 2nd round picks

    He's still on this rookie deal, right?

    Xavier Tillman to Celtics for 2 2nd round picks

    Worth remembering a young Al did not shoot the three either. Did not average over 3 three's a game until his age 29 season.

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    The Athletic had some coverage of the series and suggested there was plenty of candor from Brady and others about the difficulty of working with BB, especially in the later years.

    Official Patriots 2024 Draft Pick Watch Thread (#3)

    You're missing the Vikings at 11, and that each of those team's decision making depends on those in front and behind them in the draft. For example, if Atlanta wants Daniels, the Falcons have to worry about the Giants taking him or the Vikes or Raiders jumping them in a trade with the Pats.

    Official Patriots 2024 Draft Pick Watch Thread (#3)

    Even if the hit rate for tackles were actually much higher, the answer to who the Pats should draft remains the same for me. The goal is not to make the safest pick. The goal is to build a contender. Taking a tackle at 3 in this draft is malpractice. I start from these fundamental...

    What is next for BB?

    There are a lot of valid reasons for teams to be wary of hiring BB: The Judge/Patricia debacle. I am a process first guy. That decision was gross malpractice. Even setting aside the GM of it all, assembling a staff is (usually) on the coach. BB has never offered (reportedly even to...

    Or Aaron Brooks in Houston, who for one season scored nearly 20 a game on 39% from 3, then promptly went back to scoring 11 per.

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    Feel like for a true apples to apples comb, you want to exclude clear external sources of decline, like age and injury. Or another way to think of it, that one season was like Brady Anderson in 1996, an aberration (for whatever reason), that would not be repeated. So the player is really...

    Pretty remarkable to think that Doc played with and then later coached Monty Williams, who is now on his third head coaching gig.

    NBA & Celtic 2024 Trade Deadline thread

    Have not watched much Bulls this year, does Drummond have enough left in the tank? He would fit in the trade exception. I've always liked Xavier Tillman. Given that the Griz are in a lost season and (when healthy) have JJJ, Adams/ Aldama and Clarke at Center/PF maybe they would be open to...

    As Holinger tweeted "Any time you can trade two seconds for the right to overpay a player you just could have signed after the season, and then trade two more seconds just to dump his contract, you have to go ahead and do it. "

    A renegotiate and extend - Indy did it with Myles Turner. Just requires that the team have cap space in order to do to the re-negotiate part. Siakam strikes me as a much better fit for Philly than Murray. I feel like the Atlanta experience has shown Murray is most effective with the ball in...
