One of the Hollywood giants.  Age 89.

So many good roles over the years.  The Natural, All the Presidents Men, Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, Spygame, & Sneakers (a personal favorite) to name a few. Plus he directed Ordinary People, Quiz Show among others.

Bufkin doesn't look like an NBA player. He was getting beat out for playing time by some marginal talent last year.

Those combo guard types who are not PGs and are being forced to play PG in the NBA look dodgy mid-to-late first round material. Should be 2nd round picks most of time. I think that should have been the case for Bufkin.

Patriots currently leading the league in sacks  ???

While the explosive plays are nice, it's always about knowing how to tackle and slow the opposing player down each time. The secondary got burned a couple times. Hope that resolves when Gonzalez returns.

The Atlanta Hawks are trading guard Kobe Bufkin to the Brooklyn Nets for cash considerations, sources tell ESPN. Bufkin was Atlanta's No. 15 pick in the 2023 NBA draft, and this now gives him a fresh opportunity in Brooklyn, and the Hawks some roster flexibility.

Wow, trading your #15 pick after just two seasons?? 

Baylor could be headed out soon too, so maybe it's not so surprising.

I know nothing of course.  Just saying that Baylor looks like a reach at this point to even be on a roster in two years.

If you think Boston is going to be a playoff team this year, then signing Westbrook makes a lot of sense.  I don't think Boston is going to make the playoffs (nor should they be trying to), so I wouldn't sign him.

Currently watching Black Mirror on Netflix, a British science fiction series - season 7.  Excellent rework of the old Twilight Zone.  Check it out.

I am only interested in signing players that have some expectation to be helpful in the 2026-27 season.  A vet like Westbrook would only be in the way of playing time for younger players.  That would be acceptable if that player had a realistic chance of helping the team win a title in 2026-27.  Westbrook will be 37 in November so 38 next season.

I don't see him helping in 2026 and I don't think the team is going to be good enough in 2025 to be any kind of a contender.  So I would rather see the minutes spent on developing younger or middle-age players.

Great Point!! I often say I am less and less sure of facts in my life as I get older! Meaning, the older I get, the easier it is to change my mind. This is a great example! as soon as I read what Vermont Green said, I agreed. There you go, that was easy, thanks!!!

I wonder how those "JJ McCarthy is better than Drake Maye" conversations are going to go this week.

JJ looked good week 1, Drake didn?t. Drake looked good week 2, JJ didn?t. Should probably give them a few more games before comparing. Also have to keep in mind who they are playing and the fact that JJ didn?t play at all last year. Hopefully both guys turn out to be good players.

I agree. My snark was directed at the media types that seem so quick to express bad takes.  JJ looks to me like a good athlete with a strong arm. I like him.  But I would rather have Drake and I did not give up on him based on one game that was not all that bad in the first place.
