Time for more report card grades. Things have changed quite a bit since I last did this at the start of May. Some MLB teams responded to slow starts by getting hot, while others have been mired in mediocrity or woefulness.
The bulk of the 2021 NFL offseason has ended. The first few phases of free agency and the draft are in the rearview, meaning that the San Francisco 49ers roster is largely what it is going to be during the regular season just a bit bigger.
Boston Celtics Receive: 2023 second-round pick (via Boston Celtics)
The Hornets need help at center. Veterans Cody Zeller and Bismack Biyombo can leave via free agency this offseason, and rookie Vernon Carey Jr. played just 115 minutes this season.
Thompson, 30, is still good enough to be a starter and would be an upgrade over everyone the Hornets have at the position. He s a good screen setter and rebounder and would bring 78 games (and counting) of playoff experience, including a championship ring with the 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers.
Boston has leaned toward Robert Williams III, 23, as the future at the position. The Celtics are already at the luxury tax line for next season, and that s before any free-agent signings or a new contract for Evan Fournier.

There is never a shortage of opinions on the B/R app, so it s time to put your thoughts to work. Once again, the focus was on general questions and hot takes two months into the 2021 season.
Who will be the first big-name player traded?

How do I feel about Yermin Mercedes and 3-0 swings in blowouts?
There was a lot to unpack, so let s get to it.
