Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes got 19 minutes on the court on Tuesday night against the Toronto Raptors, as L.A. won in blowout fashion and the team’s stars got to rest for a majority of the fourth quarter. In that fourth quarter, Hayes got the chance to put together a highlight reel moment when he threw down an Eastbay dunk — going between the legs with the ball — on a one-man fastbreak. Hayes got out ahead of the Raptors defense and received a perfect cross-court pass from Taurean Prince. After catching the ball at around the free throw…

The Los Angeles Lakers scored another dominant victory on Tuesday, taking down the Toronto Raptors to improve to 4-1 on their six-game road trip. Of course the performances of LeBron James and Anthony Davis were discussed, but reserve big man Jaxson Hayes also got a lot of attention after he threw down a between-the-legs Eastbay dunk late in the fourth quarter. With the Lakers well out in front, Taurean Prince found Hayes out ahead in transition. The big man never put the ball on the floor, but simply took two steps and rose up to throw the dunk down bringing…

There are a few players still left on the market that might peak the Pittsburgh Steelers’ interest, but free agency is pretty much done now. Teams have turned their focus to the draft later this month. With free agency in the rear view mirror, Pro Football Focus believes the Steelers’ top three biggest needs heading into the draft are at offensive line, wide receiver and cornerback. “Pittsburgh has to find starters at center and tackle before the season begins,” Dalton Wasserman of PFF wrote. “Broderick Jones can play either tackle spot, giving the team some flexibility. The Steelers also need…

The Pittsburgh Steelers swung a trade to acquire quarterback Justin Fields from the Chicago Bears last month, but that came after the Steelers signed Russell Wilson to a one-year deal. So, what does that mean for Fields heading into 2024? The general consensus is that Wilson will begin the season as the starter and will keep his job so long as he remains productive. Fields may then end up taking the reins in 2025. However, former NFL defensive lineman and current ESPN analyst Marcus Spears thinks that Fields will be starting much sooner than that. During an episode of ESPN’s…

The Pittsburgh Steelers and the New England Patriots are two of the most impressive franchises in the NFL. The two organizations are tied for the most Super Bowl victories with six, while the Steelers have been to eight Super Bowls and the Patriots have been to 11. The Steelers had the bulk of their success in the 1970s, while New England dominated the 2000s and 2010s, but the Steelers were the second most successful team in the NFL during that time period. They won two Super Bowls and went to three, while falling victim to the Patriots multiple times in…

The Pittsburgh Steelers recently agreed to terms with Cordarrelle Patterson and inked him to a two-year contract. With the new kickoff rules, Patterson is expected to be a serious threat, just like he was with every other team he has played for. However, in the offseason, there are other ways to endear yourself to a fan base. By signing with a new team, there are a lot of little housekeeping things that need to be done. One of them is picking a number. Patterson has worn 84 all throughout his career, but instead of sticking with that, he chose to…

The Steelers revamped its quarterback position this off season. All that was missing was a third guy. Now we know who is filling the spot. Earlier this week, the Steelers announced the signing of Kyle Allen, who is starting his seventh year in the NFL. Pittsburgh becomes his sixth NFL team. He last served as a backup to Josh Allen at Buffalo. Coincidentally, Mitch Trubisky, who was a Steelers backup at quarterback last season, signed with the Bills to fill the same role. The Steelers signed Allen to a one-year deal, which will pay him a $1.125 million base, with…

Entering this offseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers did not even think that Russell Wilson and Justin Fields would become team members. One or the other is possible, but not both. However, a trade of Kenny Pickett made that all possible, and now the team has an entirely new quarterback room. The Steelers now have drastic change at that position, but one NFL executive belives that the team deserves to be applauded for their overhaul. “They should be applauded for where they are at and what they have done,” an exec said to the Athletic’s Mike Sando. “Their hallmark is defense and…

The Pittsburgh Steelers have officially moved on from their top three quarterbacks from the last two seasons. It started when Omar Khan cut Mitch Trubisky on February 12th, and it continued when the Steelers elected to sign Russell Wilson. Mike Tomlin publicly stated there would be a quarterback competition, but reportedly privately advised Kenny Pickett that Wilson would start the process with the first string. Pickett did not like that, so Khan and Tomlin sent him to the Philadelphia Eagles and promptly traded with the Chicago Bears to replace him with Justin Fields. Before Pickett was traded, Mason Rudolph signed…

The Pittsburgh Steelers, under the oversight of General Manager Omar Khan, have been slowly chipping away at weak areas and rebuilding them. While fans may hate the word “rebuild,” the reality is that every team does some of it during the offseason. You lose players for various reasons, and other players fail to meet your expectations, teams constantly evolve. Those roster holes must be filled, and Khan, Head Coach Mike Tomlin, and the rest of the staff have been hard at work. One of the first things they did when the 2023 season ended was release punter Pressley Harvin III.…
