data-mm-id=”_dsy9t2fn0″>Kyle Kuzma is a good young player on a rookie deal who has become expendable with the arrival of Anthony Davis to the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers' only remaining player asset after acquiring Davis, there should be no shortage of takers for Kuzma. The only problem is his salary is so team-friendly right now, the Lakers will need to package Kantavious Caldwell-Pope and a combination of other players to make a deal work for anyone who isn't on a similar rookie deal. So a LeBron James – Kevin Love reunion is out unless the Lakers were willing to let Danny Green and multiple other players go. So where could Kuzma end up? Anywhere with a GM looking to give up a lottery pick.Memphis GrizzliesKuzma could fit in nicely with Memphis' young core. And Memp…

data-mm-id=”_ohudtzroj”>The Jacksonville Jaguars waved the white flag over the past year, trading away or failing (declining?) to re-sign the top players who led them to within a quarter of the Super Bowl in the 2017 season. That's left Leonard Fournette as one of the last men standing in Jacksonville, and he's not fully satisfied with supporting cast of characters around him. That led him to campaign for the Jags to sign free-agent quarterback Cam Newton last week. The Jags have Gardner Minshew, who flashed potential as a rookie last season, so Fournette advocating for Newton isn't a ringing endorsement. Mark Long, who covers the Jaguars for the Associated Press, was asked about this situation during an interview on ESPN690 and called Fournette out. Besides saying he wo…

data-mm-id=”_m8fj1c2hr”>I have never committed a serious crime, but if I ever do, I really hope that someone I know can keep me out of jail. Or even if I'm falsely convicted of a serious crime or a couple felonies, I hope someone steps in to keep me out of jail. Even the best movies about jail make it look like it sucks there. So if I ever get accused of a serious crime and sentenced to prison, I really hope one of my friends can do something about it.Look, I'm no angel. I've driven at speeds exceeding the posted speed limit. I have jaywalked. I voted seven times for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. But I have never committed a serious crime, much less been convicted of one. If I one day am, I really hope someone else who was involved with the crime has…

data-mm-id=”_2pwr4wmu4″>The New England Patriots, who look as bad as they ever have this century, barely beat the winless New York Jets on ESPN last night. They were, in fact, outplayed by a paltry Gang Green squad for most of the game. Only egregious end-of-game management by Adam Gase and Co. allowed the Patriots to walk away with the win. Joe Flacco tore the defense apart and nearly ruined the Tank Job, as it was predicted a few weeks ago. It was a win in the truest sense of the word, but should not and will not be, used as a sign that New England is getting back on track. This is not exactly what some thought might happen. The Tom Brady vs Bill Belichick debate will probably never be answered, but those on the coach's side of things had faith he could coach the Patriots to com…
