The Pittsburgh Steelers cut quarterback Mitch Trubisky on Monday, sending the former No. 2 overall draft pick into free agency after two disappointing seasons. Trubisky signed with the Steelers in March 2022 and was given first crack at replacing the retired Ben Roethlisberger. Trubisky started four games before being benched in favor of then-rookie Kenny Pickett. Trubisky struggled again this season while filling in for an injured Pickett, losing starts against New England and Indianapolis before being replaced by third-stringer Mason Rudolph. Releasing Trubisky creates about $11.5 million in salary cap space over the next two seasons. With Trubisky gone,…

The Pittsburgh Steelers have already begun making changes this offseason. Just a day after the Kansas City Chiefs lifted the Super Bowl trophy, the Steelers started letting go of players. In an effort to open up some cap space for the 2024 offseason, the Steelers moved on from Mitch Trubisky, Pressley Harvin III, and Chukwuma Okorafor. The moves opened up more than $12 million in cap space. That space should end up getting used to find reinforcements elsewhere on the roster when free agency opens next month. One of the positions that could be addressed with that cap space is…

The Los Angeles Lakers have dealt with injury hurdles all season long, but they could be a few steps closer to getting back to full strength. The team announced Monday that Jarred Vanderbilt (right foot sprain), Max Christie (right ankle sprain), Cam Reddish (right ankle sprain) and Gabe Vincent (left knee surgery) will all be re-evaluated after the All-Star break. With the trade deadline behind them and the signing of Spencer Dinwiddie now official, what’s next for the Lakers heading into the back end of the season, and how can these four help out when they return? Despite adding Dinwiddie…

When the Los Angeles Lakers refused to commit to any trades last week, fans of the team were told that the summer could be very eventful. That is because General Manager Rob Pelinka is intent on adding superstar talent to go alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis in the offseason. But in a league full of amazing players, which route will Pelinka take? Speaking to ESPN Cleveland, Brian Windhorst said that the Lakers will definitely pursue Cleveland Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell. This is just what the Lakers do whenever someone of Mitchell’s caliber has a chance of being wooed away.…

The Los Angeles Lakers didn’t make a move at the trade deadline, but they added arguably the best player on the buyout market in point guard Spencer Dinwiddie. A 10-year veteran with playoff experience, Dinwiddie can provide a lot of things the Lakers have been missing this season. Dinwiddie has played many roles throughout his career in his different stops with the Brooklyn Nets and Dallas Mavericks, among others. But in terms of what he will bring to the Lakers, he understands his role will be about attacking the basket offensively and playing good defense. “Get downhill, provide rim pressure,…

The Los Angeles Lakers have acquired Spencer Dinwiddie via the buyout market. The Toronto Raptors waived the veteran guard after being included in the deal that sent Dennis Schroder to the Brooklyn Nets. Dinwiddie will provide the Lakers with the additional ball-handler the team needs. He also gives LeBron James the extra veteran he was hoping for. During his postgame news conference following the Lakers win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday, James shared his thoughts on what Dinwiddie will bring to the roster. “Playmaking, another ball handler, another shot-maker,” James said. “Another veteran. Any time you can add…

It was an off-the-court moment that left an impression on former head coach Phil Jackson. Phil Jackson and Kobe Bryant won five NBA titles together. He witnessed Bryant score 81 points one night and in another game, he scored 50 in three quarters. He saw him at his best and his worst. For 11 minutes, Jackson spoke about Bryant. He told stories about introducing him to Michael Jordan and how their relationship was behind the scenes. It wasn’t the on-court heroics that made Bryant a leader in Jackson’s eyes, but was something that happened off of it. “Jay Leno invited…

LeBron James’ determination to play with his son means there is at least a chance he could leave the Lakers if and when Bronny is drafted. And there are at least two NBA teams who believe James would sign with them if they had Bronny, according to NBA insider Marc Stein. “I know of at least two teams on the NBA map that believe LeBron James would consider signing with them at far less than $51.4 million if Bronny James is on the roster,” Stein wrote. “There might be more. “Should the Lakers be ultimately faced with that turn of…

Spencer Dinwiddie has provided an interesting explanation as to why he chose to sign with the Lakers over the Mavs. Dinwiddie compared the two teams to being parents, with Dallas being the mother and Los Angeles being the father. “I’ll give y’all something funny that I told my people because I’m fairly candid,” Dinwiddie said. “The two situations kinda felt like this, right? Let’s say you were a kid, and you got your ass whooped by the bully. Dallas would’ve been like your momma being like, ‘It’s OK, baby. Don’t worry about it.’ “Lakers are like your dad: ‘Nah, you…

The Lakers made zero moves at the trade deadline and LeBron James and Anthony Davis were asked about their thoughts on the lack of action from LA’s front office. After the team’s 114-106 loss to the Nuggets, LeBron was asked what the Lakers need to do in order to position themselves for a playoff run, being fully healthy of course. To which LeBron replied, “I don’t know. We haven’t gotten to that point. So it’s hard for me to say.” Despite some seemingly quite deliberate pressure from LeBron for Rob Pelinka to make some moves, Pelinka explained after the deadline…
