“keeping butler but trading jimmy”

Watch Ealy go off for 8.5 sacks, sign elsewhere and Pats get back a 2019 3rd rd comp.

Always worth noticing with the Pats is that you should count the draft slots, not the rounds. Their natural draft picks (not the result of other trades) come last in the round so the difference between a lost second round Pats pick and a gained third Panthers pick is only eight slots.

Bringing Allen Branch back was not a big-money item, but as important as any on this list. I’m no aficionado, but I think that guy’s one of the most underrated defensive players in the league. He’s never really even talked about among the Patriots’ best but I think he’s been increasingly good for three years now.

Burkhead is also an above average receiving back. He’s the perfect Pats Swiss army knife type player.

There’s an abundance of hope in Boston. Too much.

I don’t think the Warriors are getting back to the finals. With our without KD, they’re woefully thin and lacking interior D. Their bench, (an aging) Iggy aside, is very thin, particularly at PF and C.

I like the part where Brown walked back to the bench and didn’t even look at Curry. And also the part where the Warriors lost.

I cleaned it up for you:

Yup. They did the hack a Jordan in 2Q using Johnson and Olynyk. Unforgivable really when you’re short 2 bigs already. What’s the point of having Jordan Mickey on the roster if not for using his 6 fouls?

Hold off on the SegaCD stack unit for a bit, Next iteration will be killer, and they’ll be including Sewer Shark 2 to push adoption rates.

I thought Phil Jackson shot the Knicks playoff hopes to death when he re-upped Melo on a max deal.

is there a loser’s bracket that I am not aware of? Like a professional version of the NIT?

There is no mystery here, he failed to cut weight and got dehydrated and they took him to the hospital. When he got there they probably immediately put him on an IV which meant he would not be able to make weight. Fight cancelled.

It’s not really fair to blame it on the “climate”. Most people have had the same beliefs from before this even started, it’s just now some of them are more... vocal about it.

Boat load of talent on that kid. Too soon?

Welcome back Avery Bradley. Ye were missed.

A guy, by the way, in only his second game back after missing nearly 20 games and is presumably working his way back to 100%

Who knew you weren’t allowed to rim-out a 3? Poor form, Deron.

I get it, “LOL HAHA DERON BRICKED IT.” This is all well-deserved ridicule and all, but... Can we take a second to talk about Bradley’s D on Kyrie on this play? My lord that was something to behold.
