A.J. Brown Facing His Former Team

The massive overarching storyline features Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown lining up directly against his former squad. Since his offseason departure from Philadelphia, all eyes have been on how he would look squaring off against the Eagles' secondary. Early reports from Day 1 of practice indicate Brown dominated early 7-on-7 periods, catching multiple physical passes and a deep curl thrown by quarterback Drake Maye

-Maye bounced back from a late interception during last week’s joint session with Indianapolis by looking incredibly sharp on Wednesday, linking up with A.J. Brown and Kayshon Boutte against a talented

-Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts sat out Philadelphia's preseason opener against Baltimore and is using these sessions to lock in his regular-season chemistry. Going up against a stout New England defense gives Hurts his first true summer evaluation against outside competition. This is especially crucial as the Eagles navigate early-camp wide receiver injuries, with rookie Johnny Wilson sidelined (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith returning to manage tightness

Celtics Rumors

Bobby’s reaction to Lebron to Philly?

Steph Curry to the Celtics?

According to Sports Illustrated's John Karalis, Celtics president Brad Stevens may have already reached out about a potential trade for Stephen Curry.

"There's no doubt Brad Stevens has already been on the phone with the Warriors brass to pitch a deal if they want one," Karalis wrote.

Curry golfing with Tatum on Marthas vineyard. Has not requested trade. Watch for the deadline.

Warriors would not trade 4 first round picks for Jaylen brown last year, because he was not a player that could “lead a franchise”

Can we dream? Top Team in the East?

Celtics get: Curry
Warriors get: Paul George, Sam Hauser, the draft assets they received from the Sixers

Yahoo – Keith Watkins - Making the math work would be extraordinarily difficult. Curry's contract carries an annual value north of $62 million, meaning any trade would likely require a third team to help balance salaries. Boston would probably need to include a significant chunk of its remaining draft capital, up to five available first-round picks, along with players like Payton Pritchard, George, and Sam Hauser just to make the financials work.

Optionality? 70% of the cap tied up in two players?

Is this team better than what they currently have anyway?

Curry                     Mike Conley

White                    Schierman

Scheirman           Gonzalez

Tatum                   Garza

Robinson             Queta
