Good Morning..Trade Time!!
Now, that you re back after watching and gaining some understanding, what I ll be doing here is putting together a trade package based on Texans media puppet John McClain s report from a couple days ago. You know the one. The one where he reports, Texans will want two 1 s, two 2 s, and 2 young defensive starters at the least for Deshaun Watson ..just a couple weeks after he said there s no way the Texans would trade Watson. But I ll play along here.
So the deal is this - Texans get:
Two 1st round picks from the Raiders
Two 2nd round picks from Carolina via Derek Carr trade
19 alleged gang members arrested in Brooklyn takedown
WABC
BROOKLYN, New York City (WABC) Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez and NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea announced a major gang takedown Wednesday that they hope will slow the surge in gun violence plaguing New York City.
Authorities said 19 alleged gang members were busted in connection with at least six shootings, some of which were caught on video.
In one incident, a gunman can be seen blasting his way down the street. In another, an assailant sprays a crowded intersection with bullets. The brazen shootings in broad daylight terrorized entire neighborhoods in the borough.

The gang members, who run territories in Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights, are connected to at least two murders and five shootings, the DA said. (Brooklyn District Attorney s Office.)
BED-STUY, BROOKLYN A massive gang takedown this week has brought charges against 19 members connected to a cycle of shootings that has plagued Central Brooklyn for years, prosecutors announced.
Authorities unveiled two indictments Wednesday against members of the 900 street gang, which run various crews throughout Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights and are responsible for at least 13 acts of violence in the last year, including two murders, officials said.
The indictments are a major breakthrough in law enforcement s efforts to curb an ongoing shooting surge that escalated in the borough last year, according to Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez.

The only injury intrigue for the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday morning was answered as defensive back Lamarcus Joyner is active for the season finale at the Denver Broncos, while defensive tackle Maurice Hurst is not active.
Both players were listed as questionable on the injury report. Joyner had a thigh injury and Hurst was dealing with a calf issue.
The Raiders will be without tackle Trent Brown and guard Denzelle Good on Sunday. Brown has a knee injury and Good is out with an ankle injury. Both offensive linemen were injured in a Week 16 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Sam Young will play for Brown and rookie John Simpson will start for Good. If Simpson, a fourth-round pick from Clemson, plays well, he might be a favorite to start next season.
HENDERSON, Nev. Yeah, Jon Gruden was still upset Monday afternoon, some 41 hours after the Las Vegas Raiders lost a game thanks to what he called the most horrific play I ve ever been associated with in his coaching career.
This from a guy who was on the wrong side of history when the Tuck Rule was unveiled on a snowy New England night in 2002.
But we digress . Damon Arnette letting Miami Dolphins receiver Mack Hollins run right by him unimpeded down the left sideline and safety Isaiah Johnson arriving oh-so-late on a predictable deep throw is the gaping open wound. Arden Key gruesomely grabbing and twisting Ryan Fitzpatrick s facemask as he threw that no-look bomb is the salt. Especially when you add the 15 yards from Key s penalty to Fitzpatrick s 34-yard completion and, suddenly, after taking a two-point lead with 19 seconds to play, the Raiders had gifted the Dolphins 49 yards and put them in field-goal range.
