Might've been the first time the Pats swept the Dolphins since 2016 lol. Crazy that at one point (2020 - 2024) the Pats lost 8 of their last 9 against them.

Good to give 'em the belt again, and hopefully more in the near future.

Indiana's 2026 1st round draft pick is interesting.

So they traded their 2026 1st round pick to Toronto in the Siakam deal. It is top 4 protected. Indiana currently have the 4th worst record. But it doesn't end there. Toronto then traded Indy's pick to New Orleans in the Brandon Ingram deal.

So New Orleans could be getting a pick in the 5-10 range if Indiana fall out of the top 4 on draft lottery night. Or Indiana could keep the pick if they finish with a top 4 pick.

That would be a huge gain for NOP. Completely unexpected. That Indiana pick was expected to be somewhere in the 20s when Toronto traded it at the trade deadline last year for Ingram.

It is also interesting to retroactively look at the value given up in both the Siakam & Ingram deals. Both at the time versus the end result. That draft pick if it is in the 5-7 range makes each acquisition more expensive. Siakam has already paid his way with the trip to the Finals last year but that Ingram deal may give people 2nd thoughts.

Phoenix continues to impress, they just beat the Thunder via a game winning three by Booker. I love what the Celtics are doing but Phoenix i think is the bigger surprise of the season.

Clipper game - best game of the yr
Centers - could not be happier.... don't miss Porzingis or Horford or Kornet at all
Brad - Please try to keep these guys together, including Simons

I?m feeling the same way about Simons as the season goes by. He?s a legit weapon off the bench.

Simons isn't the issue, it's his contract. If we could bring him back for around $18 million, I'd do it.

I do miss our centers, though. It's been a really fun season, but we're still 15th in defense.

Are you saying that we just don't have 18 million spare in the cap (under apron), or that he will fetch more than 20 mill in the open market?

At his current contract, he's untenable. At 2/3 of his current annual rate, it's doable.

He's going to want more than that. I have no idea what the market will look like. Teams were paying guys like Simons (including pay Simons himself), but the trade market for adding guys like Simons, Sexton, McCollum, etc. seems weak.

So, if there's no market for him, there's a chance we could retain him. But, it won't be at $27 million or more.
