“Bill Belichick opted to re-sign Cam Newton to an affordable contract that will pay the quarterback just under $7 million if he starts every game. But the Patriots also have their eyes on bringing back Jimmy Garoppolo to run the show. Unfortunately for the Patriots, the 49ers have been unwilling to discuss a trade to this point, Boston Sports Journal's and longtime Patriots reporter Greg Bedard reported on the latest episode of the "Greg Bedard Patriots Podcast."
“Jimmy Garoppolo has always been plan A for this team.” Bedard said. “They’ve tried to get him. They have tried to engage with the 49ers. The 49ers will not engage, at least to this point, without having something better or their own sort of plan. The words that I was told was the 49ers are screwing around. They’re not really engaging”
49ers general manager John Lynch has said he expects Garoppolo to be their starting quarterback in 2021 if he's healthy, and that the 49ers would focus on bringing in a capable backup to make sure the season isn't lost if Garoppolo has to once again miss time. The 49ers reportedly were interested in both Andy Dalton and Mitchell Trubisky, but both signed elsewhere as Dalton went to Chicago and Trubisky landed in Buffalo. The 49ers reportedly will host Joe Flacco on a visit, which should serve as a short-term vote of confidence that Garoppolo is indeed the guy for 2021.”

What should the Warriors do with the Timberwolves' top-3-protected first-round pick (or any of their players)?
Pelton: Given the strength of the top five of this year's draft, I would only consider trading Minnesota's pick for either an All-Star player in his prime (e.g., Bradley Beal) or a surefire young prospect with multiple years left on his rookie contract -- two things we don't expect to be available at the deadline. Otherwise, I would hang on to the pick.
One technical note: Golden State can't add protection to the Timberwolves' pick to say it only goes to the other team if it lands outside the top five picks; adding protection is only possible with picks that are originally acquired with no conditions.
I would be willing to consider offering the Warriors' own first-round pick for a player who could both help them win now and be part of a future core that also includes James Wiseman and the future Timberwolves pick. The Warriors have technically already traded their 2021 first-round pick to Oklahoma City in the deal that brought back Kelly Oubre Jr., but it has
Golden State could offer up reverse protection on the pick, meaning it would convey to a different team if it lands 1-20 (and the Warriors could add their own top-four protection, in case they miss the playoffs and move up in the lottery).
One player who might fit in such a deal would be Lonzo Ball, whose improved 3-point shooting would make him an ideal fit with Stephen Curry in lineups where either player could handle the ball.
Adding Ball, a restricted free agent this summer, would be costly in terms of Golden State's luxury tax bill in 2021-22 and beyond. But he'd offer insurance in case Klay Thompson is unable to come back from his ACL and Achilles injuries at the same level and be an excellent option in smaller lineups with both Curry and Thompson.
One other factor for the Warriors to weigh is whether it makes sense to trade Oubre to cut this year's tax bill. If Golden State doesn't plan to re-sign Oubre, keeping him on the roster for a season that looks likely to result in a play-in appearance might not be worth the additional cost.
