Ja Morant a potential trade candidate this summer?

The Ringer’s Howard Beck reported that he has spoken to an NBA executive who is not ruling out a Morant blockbuster in the offseason. “I’m constantly checking in with executives around trade deadline about like, okay, what we saw, what we didn’t see, what’s next, and in this league, you are always, always, always on the lookout for who’s the next wave of stars that are going to get dealt, right?” Beck said. “And somebody out of the blue said, keep an eye on Ja [Morant] this summer,” Beck continued. “I’m just saying it’s one of those things I’m just kind of keeping an eye on if they were to flame out early.”

”I think this year is definitely the year for us and we all want to get to the championship,” says Mobley. “I feel like we all are on the same page with that and we all believe that we can win a ‘chip this year, so that’s the plan.” When asked if winning the Most Improved Player and Defensive Player of the Year awards on his agenda for this season, he says “not necessarily,” he stresses the goal is the championship. ”Not necessarily right now, but those two accolades definitely are in my mind,” says Mobley. “The main goal is just the championship.”

Chandler Parsons: 'There is more competitive basketball at Rico Hines' summer pickup games at UCLA than at All-Star Weekend'

Chandler Parsons: I like the concept, and again, I respect the effort here, but this just isn’t the solution. I don’t think the format is going to stick. There’s zero intensity. There is zero defense. There is more competitive basketball at Rico Hines’ summer pickup games at UCLA than at All-Star Weekend—and it’s not even close. By the way, dudes will go at it in the summer. They’re trying to get in shape. There’s a motive. There’s something they’re actually playing for.

Steelers Mock Draft Round-Up: Pittsburgh goes QB in Round 1 in latest mock draft

A look at the latest first-round projections for Pittsburgh around the NFL media landscape…

In just over two months, NFL faithful will tune into the much-anticipated 2025 Draft from Green Bay, Wisconsin.

The back-and-forth saga of predicting Pittsburgh’s first-round selection will inevitably continue until it is announced on April 24th. In the meantime, the media landscape remains split between a few key positions. The Steelers’ main needs lie at WR, DL, RB, and CB, positions that have primarily occupied projections for a month or so. With that being said, here are the latest of said projections across the NFL media.

Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss

Field Yates, ESPN

Yes, free agents Russell Wilson or Justin Fields could be back. But the Steelers’ pedestrian offense has held them back from playoff success in recent seasons, and Dart had a prolific college career. Over the past two seasons, he has 7,633 passing yards, 51 touchdown throws and 11 interceptions. He’s a capable thrower to all levels of the field and has enough mobility to operate outside the pocket and on the run. Dart also took advantage of Senior Bowl week with a strong showing in front of Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin, who was on the field at each practice.

This projection represents a big rise up the board from where Dart currently ranks outside my top 32, but quarterbacks always have a chance to climb given positional value. Keep an eye on Dart here as we get closer to April.

Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State

Jordan Plocher, PFF

No matter who is behind the center for the Steelers in 2025, the team needs help at wide receiver. Egbuka had two 1,000-yard receiving seasons at Ohio State, and while he primarily lined up in the slot, he has shown he can play outside, as well.

Kyle Dvorchak, NBC Sports

Pittsburgh can’t run it back with George Pickens and a cast of NPCs at wide receiver this season. Pickens, who is entering a contract year, went for 352 more yards than the Steelers’ WR2 and over 600 yards more than their WR3. That was despite missing three games. Egbuka’s ability to navigate the middle of the field and create easy completions is the perfect complement to Pickens’ splash play style.

Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri

Ben Rolfe, Pro Football Sports Network

The Pittsburgh Steelers need an offensive overhaul, and that goes for almost every position other than tight end. They will likely need a new quarterback, but their value is not right at this spot. The offensive line might also be the way to go here after the unit ranked 24th last season, but getting a reliable weapon for their new quarterback also has to be a priority for this team.

Luther Burden III does not fit the mold that we might expect from a dominant receiver, but he has all the tools to be an incredible weapon from Day 1 of his NFL career. He is undersized to play on the outside but is a dynamic inside threat for an NFL offense. His route tree is highly developed for a young player and can be a tremendous weapon on screens and slants with the ball in his hands.

Matthew Golden, WR, Texas

Dan Parr, NFL.com

Whoever is taking snaps at quarterback for Pittsburgh next season could use an upgraded receiving corps. Golden can be the big-play complement to George Pickens that the Steelers have sorely lacked.

Josh Edwards, CBS Sports

There has been some scuttlebutt that George Pickens has worn out his welcome in Pittsburgh and could be on the move. If that were to happen, then a predominant slot receiver is not going to help the offense as much as a player like Matthew Golden, who has the potential to stretch the field.

Joe Klatt, FOX Sports

I’ll be honest, I have no idea where the Steelers should go. They could use help at many position groups. Who knows what they’ll do at quarterback, but they need another wide receiver. Golden really made the most of his one year at Texas, making some huge plays in the CFP to help the Longhorns reach the semifinal.

Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame

Sam Russell, Bleacher Nation

Pittsburgh needs a quarterback but there isn’t anyone talented enough for them to take at No. 21. Besides that, the Steelers need to find another option in the secondary to team up with Joey Porter Jr. Benjamin Morrison is a tough and physical press corner who flashes good timing while being a solid tackler.

Which of these first-round projections for the black and gold is your favorite? How would you feel if the Steelers took a quarterback with pick No. 21?
