In the build-up to the draft, the Steelers were frequently connected to a wide receiver trade. No such move took place over the weekend, though, and Pittsburgh has not been active in the post-draft wave of free agency to date. The Steelers placed a heavy emphasis on the offensive line, using first- (tackle Troy Fautanu), second- (center Zach Frazier) and fourth- (guard Mason McCormick) round selections up front. The team also added a wideout by taking Michigan alum Roman Wilson in the third round, but there is room in the lineup for an experienced pass-catcher to play opposite George Pickens.…

During a recent appearance with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise on 93.7 The Fan, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette expressed that West Virginia cornerback Beanie Bishop Jr. and UCF quarterback John Rhys Plumlee have the best chance to make the Steelers’ roster amongst undrafted free agents. “Number one is Beanie Bishop from the backyard in West Virginia. They had him in as a pre-draft visitor,” he said. “He has production, 24 PBUs, four picks last year. He’s fast enough. I think he ran a 4.4, something like that, at his Pro Day.” According to Chad Reuter of NFL Network,…

As the Los Angeles Lakers enter into another drama-filled offseason, they have multiple questions to answer. The fate of star LeBron James is up in the air, even if most people do believe that he will ultimately return to Los Angeles next season. James has mulled retirement, as well as looking at different options around the league, for some time now. But all indications are that he will finish his career with the Lakers. However, that doesn’t mean that he won’t put pressure on the front office to build a better roster. He has wanted to get the Lakers a…

TNT announcer Reggie Miller did not let the referees off lightly for an apparent mistake they made during Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets led the T’Wolves 33-30 midway through the second quarter at Ball Arena in Denver, Colo. Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards got whacked by Nuggets wing Kentavious Caldwell-Pope on a drive. The referees swallowed their whistles as the play unfolded. Miller called the officials out a minute later when the TNT broadcast showed a replay of the non-call. “How can you not see or call that?! I mean…

On Saturday evening, Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets are hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves in Colorado for Game 1 of their second-round playoff series. Jokic got off to a solid start to the game and had 15 points, four rebounds, six assists and two steals while shooting 6/15 from the field in his first 23 minutes of playing time. He also made NBA history by moving ahead of Hall of Famer Bob Cousy (2,018), Jaylen Brown (2,025) and Kevin Johnson (2,026) for 64th on the all-time playoff points list. The next player for Jokic to pass will be Hall of…

The Los Angeles Lakers knew changes needed to be made after the team was bounced out of the first round by the Denver Nuggets. Despite a competitive five-game series, it was clear the Lakers were a couple of notches below the Nuggets and so it wasn’t a surprise when the organization made the decision to part ways with former head coach Darvin Ham. Ham was the easy scapegoat for Los Angeles, but there were some legitimate gripes that fans and even the players had with how he managed the roster. Between rotations, lineup choices, and in-game management blunders like timeout…

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James’ future is the biggest question looming over the organization, even in light of their coaching search after firing Darvin Ham. Whether or not James returns could influence the kind of coach they pursue. James said he is taking a step back to discuss his future with his circle before announcing anything. But the Lakers are all-in on keeping him satiated. He can decline the $51.4 million option on his two-year, $99 million contract and become a free agent this offseason. Finding him some help in the backcourt could be the best way to keep…

The speculation about who will be the next Los Angeles Lakers head coach, following Darvin Ham’s Friday, has picked up fast and one former NBA general manager through a surprising name into the discourse this weekend. After months of speculation, the Lakers pulled the trigger on a long-rumored decision this week and ousted head coach Darvin Ham. The move comes after a 47-35 finish to the regular season and being ousted from the opening round of the playoffs by the Denver Nuggets in just five games. The job is one of the toughest in sports due to the uber-high profile…

The Los Angeles Lakers have parted ways with head coach Darvin Ham. The organization is set to begin a head coaching search that will reportedly include several different candidates. One of the names being reported as a potential option for the Lakers head coaching position is former NBA guard JJ Redick, who currently hosts a podcast with LeBron James. During a recent episode of Gil’s Arena, a show hosted by former NBA star and Memphis Grizzlies guard Gilbert Arenas, former NBA player Rashad McCants said that James is coaching Redick to be the next coach of the Lakers. It will…

The Los Angeles Lakers will look for the 29th head coach in franchise history. The search will be extensive as the Lakers want to avoid looking for another head coach two or three years from now. It’s still being determined what direction the front office wants to take, but they’ll check on everybody, including long-time assistant and current Boston Celtics assistant Charles Lee. The Athletic’s Jovan Buha and Shams Charania have reported that Lee could be added as a potential candidate for the Purple and Gold. Lee has an extensive background as an assistant coach, which makes him a strong…
