From Sporting News’ Sean Deveney: Keeping George in town has been the underlying goal since before the season started. The [...]
The Oklahoma City didn’t come anywhere close to meeting expectations in the 2017-18 season after acquiring Paul George and Carmelo Anthony in the off-season, losing in six games in the 1st round to the Utah Jazz.

LeBron James is no doubt annoyed the Cleveland Cavaliers have the NBA’s second-worst defense. He’s definitely frustrated they’ve lost 10 of their past 12 games. He can’t feel good about how close they are to dropping out of third place in the Eastern Conference. But, more than he’s ticked off at any of the aforementioned [...]

The Oklahoma City Thunder haven’t exactly played up to their or anybody else’s expectation thus far at 22-18 through 40 games. It has taken some time for the Thunder to effectively integrate their two star additions from the 2017 off-season: Carmelo Anthony and Paul George. While both are set to be free agents in the [...]
