TOPIC LIST   NFL Multiple reports confirm that Deshaun Watson is available and the Texans would consider trading him. Multiple reports also confirm that the Eagles are the team to watch out for the most and they are best positioned to make a deal. What should the Eagles do? (00:00:48-00:26:12)   NBA Reports confirm that the Lakers are searching for a veteran point guard this offseason. Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, and Kyle Lowry have been mentioned as options the Lakers are looking at. Who would you rather have and who do you think is the best fit? Would adding any of the 3 players make the Lakers the favorite to win the NBA Championship next season? (00:26:16-00:34:55)   NHL Flyers: The Flyers first trade for veteran defenseman Ryan Ellis of the Predators, giving up Philippe Myers and Nolan Patrick (who was then shipped to the Golden Knights) in the process. Do you think the Flyers mortgaged their future for the top pairing, but injury prone defenseman? (00:34:57-00:40:07) The Flyers then traded Shayne Gostisbehere, a 2022 2nd round pick, and a 2022 7th round pick to the Coyotes for nothing in return but the cap space. Did the Flyer give up too much for the Coyotes to take on this contract? (00:40:08-00:41:12) Next, the Flyers traded Robert Hagg, their 2021 1st round pick (13th overall), and a 2023 2nd round pick to the Sabres for defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen, who is a former first round pick, has had his share of struggles, and is also on the last year of his contract. Did the Flyers overpay? With the Ellis and Ristolainen additions, did the Flyers solve their defensive woes? (00:41:13-00:45:59) Lastly, the Flyers traded longtime productive winger Jake Voracek to the Blue Jackets in exchange for veteran winger Cam Atkinson and save some cap space while shaking up the locker room. Was this a good move? (00:46:00-00:49:29)   MLB Ronald Acuna Jr. is out for the season with a torn ACL. Where does that leave the Braves? What does the NL East picture look like? What will be the trade deadline approach of each team in the division? (00:50:00-00:53:45) Phillies: Byron Buxton, Kris Bryant, and Starling Marte are three players who appear to be available and the Phillies are in on as possible CF upgrades. Given the varying presumed cost of each player, who do you think should be the Phillies top target of the three or should they stay put in CF and use their assets on other needs?
