While the rumor mill had Rob Pelinka being patient regarding trades before the February 6 deadline, the Lakers caught everyone off guard sending D’Angelo Russell to the Nets for Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton. The Lakers got the wing depth they needed, sacrificing D-Lo, Maxwell Lewis, and three second-round picks. The Lakers still have flexibility below the second apron to keep adding help to the roster.

The Golden State Warriors are acquiring point guard Dennis Schroeder for De’Anthony Melton, according to Shams Charania. The Warriors are also receiving one second-round pick from Brooklyn in exchange for three second-round picks.
Here’s how social media reacted to the news:
The Bucs’ social media teams shared every touchdown pass that Baker Mayfield had thrown in 2024.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a Bye Week during the NFL’s 11th week of the season. They spent it doing several things, including getting healthy and working on the little things.
Those fans were left with little to enjoy outside of the Broncos beating the Falcons unless they were on social media, where the Bucs’ social media teams shared every touchdown pass that Baker Mayfield had thrown in 2024.
The first one of the year found Mike Evans, and during the package, fans can enjoy the former Aggie joining an elite club in NFL history. Passes to Cade Otton, Chris Godwin, Sterling Sheppard, and more are also included in the package which can be found below.
As the team comes out of their Bye Week and prepare for the Giants in Week 12, Mayfield is on pace for career highs in every passing category.
The former Heisman Trophy winner is on pace for 4.285 passing yards and a whopping 41 passing touchdowns.
Since we don’t have a game this week, enjoy every @bakermayfield touchdown so far in 2024 👨🍳

Despite the early coverage by the Titans, the Vikings still found a way to break through in the first quarter.
The Minnesota Vikings knew they had their work cut out for them against a tough Titans defense. Despite the Titans’ early coverage, the Vikings still found a way to break through in the first quarter.
The Titans opened the scoring with a field goal, but the Vikings were the first to score a touchdown, courtesy of Jordan Addison.
The second-year wide receiver was able to find a hole in the coverage and then used his speed and vision to break off a 47-yard touchdown. The play would not have been possible if Sam Darnold had not stayed in the pocket and delivered a dart of a pass with the pocket collapsing.
The touchdown catch was the 13th of his career and helped him become move up the touchdown rankings within a player’s first two seasons. Leading that stat with 28 is former Viking wide receiver Randy Moss.
Beautiful. Just beautiful.

NBA fans got huge news on Saturday: The ‘Inside The NBA’ show will be back. Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith and Shaquille O’Neal are heading to ESPN and ABC next season as part of an out-of-court settlement between Warner Brothers Discovery and the NBA.
Here’s how social media initially reacted:
HoopsHype is on Bluesky. Follow us there for cool NBA content
One of those plays was made by Camryn Bynum, who had an interception and then unleashed one of his trademark celebrations.
The Minnesota Vikings didn’t have much to celebrate on Sunday but won the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. In that game the offense looked rough, Sam Darnold played his worst game of the season, but the defense made some plays.
One of those plays was made by Camryn Bynum, who had an interception and then unleashed one of his trademark celebrations. Earlier this year, we got The Parent Trap , and on Sunday, we got something new—something so glorious that Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss chimed in.
The Vikings have made themselves known for their celebrations this year, led by Camryn Bynum.
The game as a whole was rather forgetful, with the turnovers and struggles of new tackle Cam Robinson, but at the end of the game, this was able to salvage some happiness from fans and Hall of Farmers alike.
The Vikings will look to bounce back strongly and more impressively against the Titans in Week 11.

After throwing an interception early in the Vikings Sunday night game against the Colts, one player’s father had an interesting reaction.
Not much went right for the Minnesota Vikings in the first half of their Sunday Night Football matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. The offensive line struggled to protect quarterback Sam Darnold.
The offense itself struggled to get going against the Colts defense, and Darnold made several unforced errors, including an interception that drew the ire of none other than the father of Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison.
On Darnold’s first interception of the game, Addison was running a route across the middle of the field and appeared to have an easy catch for a modest gain at the least. Darnold seemingly didn’t see Addison open, and was flushed from the pocket, resulting in an interception in the end zone and a scoring opportunity gone by the wayside.
That sequence of events prompted a reaction on X (formerly Twitter) from Addison’s father, Rolando Addison, Sr., who likened Darnold to famed musician and entertainer—and blind man—Stevie Wonder.
Even Stevie Wonder could see Jordan Addison is open on Sam Darnold’s interception!!!🤷🏾♂️

While invoking Wonder’s name is objectively hilarious, it illustrates a larger concern: Darnold’s performance has started to decline from the standout performances he turned in to start the season. Lately, Darnold has been making costly errors and missing guys fairly consistently.
His errors didn’t cost the Vikings in their game against the Colts, but the team needs Darnold to clean up if they’re going to make a playoff run, which they looked capable of just a few short weeks ago.
