On his X account, Johnson tweeted what differentiates the Celtics from the other teams in the Eastern Conference. “Outside of the Boston Celtics, multiple teams in the East need to make a trade before the deadline, including the Bucks, 76ers, Knicks, Cavaliers, and the Hawk Boston currently sports the best record in the NBA, which places them first among Eastern Conference teams. They are currently 3.5 games ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks for the first seed. Per Tankathon, they have the second-easiest schedule remaining, behind only the…

The writing has been on the wall for months, and all signs continue to point to the Green Bay Packers parting ways with five-time All Pro left tackle David Bakhtiari this offseason. Should Green Bay trade, or far more likely cut, Bakhtiari this offseason, the team will face a decision — transition full-time to 2022 seventh-round pick Rasheed Walker at a premium position or look to bolster the left side of its offensive line through the NFL draft. ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. is a proponent of the latter. He projected in his first official mock draft published on Tuesday, January 23, that the…
The Lakers have been involved in plenty of trade rumors given their mediocre record, players on team-friendly contracts and their desire to push for title No. 18. Being at .500 and relatively healthy, minus Gabe Vincent and now Taurean Prince, it looks like they’ll need to make a move to have a realistic title shot in the West. With the Lakers reportedly talking with the Atlanta Hawks for Dejounte Murray and being linked with players such as Tyus Jones and Bruce Brown Jr. to pull off any of these moves, they will need to trade away key rotation players. The Lakers have made it clear that Austin Reaves is close to untouchable and…

The Toronto Raptors have already traded OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam in what has been the beginning of a more earnest rebuild by Masai Ujiri, and his press conference made it seem like he is by no means done making moves. Gary Trent Jr. could easily be next up on the chopping block. With Immanuel Quickley hitting restricted free agency this offseason and RJ Barrett under contract for a few more seasons, the odds of giving Trent the deal he deserves are getting slimmer. A trade might be possible, as Toronto is in listening mode with regard to many of their more…
