Michael: “There’s nothing wrong about it. I know what Otto means for our team, what he does,” Wall said while watching the Wizards [...]

The Boston Celtics have high hopes for this offseason. How high, you ask? Try adding-both-Paul-George-and-Gordon-Hayward high. I’m not even sure if online bookies like sportingbet have that one listed with odds. Could the Celtics possibly pull it off? From The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski: The Boston Celtics are pursuing an aggressive summer plan of sequencing the [...]

Paul George is the Los Angeles Lakers’ best free-agent recruiter. And he’s not even a Laker. While appearing on 95.7 The Game, NBC Sports Bay Area analyst and former NBA player Kelenna Azubuike said George has “definitely” started recruiting Klay Thompson on behalf of the team he doesn’t yet play for: [tweet https://twitter.com/957thegame/status/879721276742316032] I mean, [...]
