Why are the San Antonio Spurs supposedly a team to watch in Jaylen Brown trade talks?
Why are the San Antonio Spurs supposedly a team to watch in Jaylen Brown trade talks? Why are the San Antonio Spurs supposedly a team to watch in Jaylen Brown trade talks for the Boston Celtics? With all the grans of salt taken in light of it being silly season (that time of year when reports about NBA teams are often coming from parties trying to bend things towards their interests), we have been hearing rumbles from trustworthy media that there might be a deal to be made for the Georgia native between Boston and San Antonio. If there is any proverbial fire to this smoke, what would such a deal look like to make sense for both parties? Would Brown be okay with decamping to Texas after all the roots he has put down in the local community over the last near-decade? Is this all just a distraction when it comes down to brass tacks? The folks behind the "WEEI Boston's Sports Original" YouTube channel put together a clip from their "Jones and Keefe" show that takes a deep dive into these rumors. Check it out below!

Will the new owner of the Boston Celtics make big changes to the team this NBA offseason?
Will the new owner of the Boston Celtics make big changes to the team this NBA offseason? Will the new owner of the Boston Celtics make big changes to the team this coming NBA offseason? The Celtics are currently staring down the most expensive tax bill and payroll in the history of the league, just as new majority owner Bill Chisholm will take control of the storied ball club. The former Celtics majority owner and future team CEO Wyc Grousbeck recently sat down with the media to talk about how he does not believe that ANY ball club will remain in the new collective bargaining agreement (CBA)'s punitive second apron in terms of spending for more than two seasons, implicitly including the Celtics in that assessment. If that notion holds true, cuts are on the way -- but the proverbial elephant in the room is how big (and which players) might be on the move. The folks behind the "WEEI Boston Sports Original" YouTube channel put together a clip for their "Jones and Keefe" show recently to talk over the potential incoming changes. Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say for yourself.

Patriots insider floats trade consideration with No. 4 draft pick
If the New England Patriots had an opportunity to trade the No. 4 overall pick of the 2025 NFL draft for Cleveland Browns All-Pro defensive end Myles Garrett, that's a move NBC Sports Boston's Tom E. Curran believes the team should consider making. Garrett requested a trade from the Browns in a public statement. The Patriots could be in the market for an elite pass-rusher, and Garrett would upgrade their defense significantly. "He would, to me, be worthy of considering giving up the fourth overall pick for," Curran said on WEEI's "Jones and Keefe," as transcribed by Gayle Troiani. "Say Myles Garrett says, 'I'll go to this team, that team, that team, that team,' and the Patriots are able to put a structure together, I would include the fourth overall pick for him and not bat an eye about paying him because he is that good." Garrett is coming off a 2024 season that saw him record 14 sacks and 47 combined tackles. He also had 28 quarterback hits. He made the Pro Bowl for the eighth year in a row and continues to be one of the most feared pass-rushers in the NFL. In 2023, he was named the NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Curran indicated that the fourth overall selection for Garrett would be reasonable given that he believes the Patriots would not land a generational talent if they drafted a player. Although Curran believes the Patriots' chances of getting Garrett are "low," he does think the defender is worthy of the high draft pick. New England could use a dominant pass-rusher like Garrett, as they recorded only 28 sacks on the year. Patriots Wire's Jordy McElroy mocked the scenario in a recent seven-round 2025 NFL mock draft. Sure, it's a far-fetched scenario, but it isn't an impossible one.
