Celtics trade pitch finds ideal Kristaps Porzingis replacement by moving Simons
The Boston Celtics are still looking for ways to shed salary, and that could come in a few different ways. If Brad Stevens could also do that in a way to improve the rest of his roster, it's possible that things could look great for the Celtics in the short and long term. When recently looking for a few trade ideas around for Anfernee Simons, Matt Moore of FanSided proposed a few intriguing ones. Perhaps his most intriguing, however, was a deal with the Chicago Bulls for Nikola Vucevic and Ayo Dosunmu. MORE: Boston Celtics get: Nikola Vucevic, Ayo Dosunmu Chicago Bulls get: Anfernee Simons, Xavier Tillman 'The Bulls have a logjam of guards, so adding Simons is a little curious. But think of this way. In adding Simons, they can leverage him against Coby White, who is also on an expiring deal. The player who comes out on top gets extended. 'That, along with the Giddey extension, sets their direction for the long-term in the backcourt while Matas Buzelis develops... The Celtics shave off another $1.4 million off their cap space, while continuing to clean the books for 2026, and add a dogged defender in Dosunmu who fits their system better than Simons. Think of what Dosunmu will learn as Derrick White's understudy,' he wrote. Vucevic would be an interesting piece for the Celtics, as he has a somewhat similar skill set to Kristaps Porzingis. While Porzingis is much better, and tough to disagree with, Vucevic can also make shots from beyond the arc, so in that sense, they have some similarities. Dosunmu could also be a decent piece, and perhaps someone who could run the second unit, depending on what the Celtics want to do.

Florida Gators kicker Trey Smack named to Lou Groza Award preseason watch list
The 2025 edition of the Lou Groza Award preseason watchlist is out, and one member of the Florida football program saw his name mentioned among the 30 student-athletes listed. Senior kicker Trey Smack was named to the prestigious watch list for the second time in his collegiate career, also getting the call back in 2023 when he finished among the semifinalists. While he missed out in 2024, his performance last season was arguably better, playing in all 13 games while nailing 18 of 21 field goal attempts and remaining perfect in PATs for the second-straight season with 44 — giving him a total of 73 straight PATs over two years. Smack has earned the SEC Special Teams Player of the Week award thrice (Week 12, 2024; Week 7, 2023; Week 4, 2023) and Lou Groza Star of the Week honors twice (Week 7, 2023; Week 4, 2023). About the Lou Groza Award The Lou Groza Award — named after the NFL great who played 21 seasons with the Cleveland Browns after serving in World War II — is presented each year to the best placekicker in college football. Groza was a nine-time all-pro player and won four AAFC championships and four NFL championships before retiring in 1967. The qualifications for the award include inclusion among the 30 players on the preseason watch list, which is determined by a player's statistics from the previous season and their preseason expectations. The 30-athlete watch list will be trimmed down to a group of 20 semifinalists on Nov. 18 by a selection committee. From that group of semifinalists, three finalists will be announced on Nov. 25, with the winner being selected on Dec. 12. Athletes are chosen to advance to the next round by a panel of more than 100 members, which consists of FBS head coaches, sports information directors, media members, former Groza finalists and current NFL kickers.

Ex-Nuggets dud Bones Hyland being recruited by overseas team
The Denver Nuggets seemingly thought they might have had something with young guard Bones Hyland. Hyland, who had shown flashes during his time with the Nuggets of being an above-average player, mainly in his rookie season when he averaged 10.1 points and shot 40.3% from the field and 36.6% from 3-point range. However, Hyland hasn't been great in other stops, and given some of the other situations that he's found himself in, with some complaints about what he's doing on the court and in the locker room by many, some have questioned whether he'll be in the NBA for any longer. The Nuggets eventually cut ties with him, a decision that made sense. He's spent the past four seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers and Minnesota Timberwolves, but has seen limited playing time, appearing in just 24 games last season between the two teams. MORE: And according to a recent report from Matteo Adreani, it's possible that Hyland won't be in the NBA for much longer. He noted that there's a team in the Serbian League, Crvena Zvezda, that would like to sign him. 'Bones Hyland is a strong name for Crvena Zvezda, as reported yesterday by @petacetvrtina_. Crvena Zvezda wants another big signing after Devonte Graham,' he wrote. It's possible that Hyland could go overseas and try to raise his stock a bit. Players have done that in the past, and it could work, but it's also possible that he could be playing himself out of the NBA. Regardless of what happens, he has to figure that out sometime over the next few weeks to months.
