WOULD YOU HAVE DONE THIS - ON ROGUE BOUGES PODCAST:
Bogut on Oubre:
"I have it on good authority that they had an offer actually for Lonzo Ball and I think a throw-in, a pick, for Oubre and the Warriors turned it down funnily enough, but I thought that was a pretty good deal to shed some salary and get a pick back."

Via @EliasSports: "The Raptors outscored the Warriors by 51 points in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. That is the largest point differential over a 2-quarter span within a game in NBA history."
Raptors and Warriors are both trying to turn butt-kickings into more than lottery picks
Warriors foul their way to a loss in Atlanta as their concerning slump deepens

B- JUSTIN FIELDS AND DAN ORLOVSKY — A BULLSHIT ROOKIE MOVE WHICH COULD AFFECT FIELDS’ FUTURE....
| ProFootballTalk |
| @ProFootballTa |
Dan Orlovsky speaks to @peter_king regarding Orlovsky's comments on Justin Fields. wp.me/pbBqYq-bSmi 4/5/21, 4:38 AM
Here’s the key paragraph from King’s column: “Orlovsky told me Saturday that people from a couple of teams did question Fields’ work ethic, but he regrets not having more ‘clarity and specificity’ in his comments. In other words, he should have said something like, This is not what I know first-hand, but in talking to people I know in the league, two teams questioned Justin Fields’ work ethic, and that could be a concern. It’s important that Orlovsky be free to pass along information he finds credible, but it’s equally important to put that information in context.”

Nobody asked me but ...
@danorlovsky7 is a rising-star NFL analyst, and rightfully so. He's admitted he erred with how he commented on Fields last week. It's a mistake, not a mortal sin. It doesn't affect how I'll view him in the future, which is as an insightful football voice. 4/5/21, 9:02 AM
So ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky, a former quarterback and good young analyst, went on “The Pat McAfee Show” and threw out some red flags on Fields. Major ones. Because he’s a respected voice, Orlovsky’s words got huge. “I have heard that he is a last-guy-in, first-guy-out type of quarterback,” Orlovsky told McAfee. “Like, not the maniacal work ethic . . . Where is his desire to be a great quarterback?”

did not take Ohio State coach Ryan Day long to warm up to the topic of his draft-eligible quarterback, Justin Fields, and work ethic, and being the “last one in and first one out” in football prep last season. One question, to be exact.
“The whole idea that he doesn’t have a very good work ethic?” Day said over the phone Saturday afternoon. “I mean, to me, that’s crazy. He got done with the Clemson game [the loss in the college football playoffs in the 2019 season] and he came back and all he did was work to get back to that game. And when those other guys are opting out, what’s he do? He petitions to have a season. He put together this petition that the Big Ten athletes all signed saying that they want to play, but they want to play safely and that they don’t accept canceling the season. It was all led by Justin Fields. Where was everybody else? Where were the guys who were opting out then? You know, you don’t love the game if you’re doing something like that. This kid loves the game.
“I heard something about the last one to come in, first one to leave. First off, the scouts weren’t in our building all year. Last one in? Every morning, at least every morning we could be in the building, early, he’s in with [football sports performance czar] Mickey Marotti. The guys who were self-motivated and could do things on their own, those were the ones who made it. He was unbelievable. He changed his diet, he got stronger. He did better than most.”
Later, Day told me: “I think some people are being a little reckless with their comments.”
