Okc Makes Biggest Move As Marquee Names Stay Put

... Westbrook for a late-season playoff push. Chicago's addition of Payne just adds to a crowded guard position that includes Dwyane Wade, Rajon Rondo, Michael Carter-Williams and Jerian Grant. Lauvergne is averaging 5.7 points while Morrow is averaging 5.8 points. 76 ers trade with Mavs. Philadelphia receives: Andrew Bogut, Justin Anderson, 2018 first-round draft pick. Dallas receives: Nerlens Noel. The Mavs get the player they've wanted for a while. This also clears up Philadelphia's problem of having too many big men on the roster, as the Sixers initially were shopping around Jahlil Okafor. Philly will most likely buyout Bogut's contract, making him a free agent, although under NBA rules he wouldn't be allowed to rejoin the Warriors. Raptors trade with Suns. Toronto receives: P. J. Tucker. Phoenix receives: Jared Sullinger, 2017 and 2018 second-round draft picks. This trade, as reported by The Vertical , gets Sullinger back to the general manager who had a part in drafting him while at Boston. Rockets trade K. J. Mc Daniels to Nets. ...

Canucks 4, Sabres 2

... 15:33 of the second but still got enough wood on it to get it by Robin Lehner and put the visitors into a 4-2 lead. Measure of revenge: Burrows got the worst of a first-period scrum with Lehner and defenseman Justin Falk but got the last laugh on his goal, beating Falk to the puck off a Troy Stecher pass at 5:00 of the second period. In the first period, Burrows and Lehner exchanged slashes and shoves before Falk burst across the ice and sent Burrows flying, ultimately causing the Sabres to draw an extra penalty as all three players earned two minutes for roughing. The quick jump: Tyler Ennis opened the scoring on a tap-in at 4:58 of the first period and immediately pointed at the player who created the goal. That was Evan Rodrigues, who notched his first NHL point of the season by holding the ...

Lakers Acquire Point Guard Tyler Ennis From Rockets For Marcelo Huertas As Nba Trade Deadline Passes

... expressed interest in joining the Lakers once he becomes a free agent after the 2017-18 season. At that point, the Lakers could sign him while maintaining a young core of players who would presumably have shown more growth with an additional year of experience. If the Lakers are content to wait for George’s free agency window, they must hope Indiana doesn’t trade him somewhere where he becomes more comfortable between now and then. The Lakers also considered trading veteran shooting guard Nick Young. Although he has averaged 13.8 points on 44.1 percent shooting under first-year coach Luke Walton, Young has been considered expendable for several years. The Lakers would like to acquire another draft pick, and Young’s departure also would have opened up playing time for the rest of their young roster, including guard Jordan Clarkson and forward Brandon Ingram. The Lakers (19-39) flew to Oklahoma City on Thursday morning and held an afternoon practice in advance of Friday’s game against the Thunder (32-25) at Chesapeake Energy Arena. Although this did not preclude the Lakers from making a deal before the trade ...

Nba Trade Deadline 2017

... offseason. But this deal cannot be looked at purely in those terms. Even if Ibaka wasn't going to leave in free agency, Orlando couldn't have justified funding his next contract with Bismack Biyombo and Nikola Vucevic also on the books. And the alternative to trading him was letting him walk for nothing. Barren of leverage, the Magic did well to get a cheaply priced wing in Ross and a first-rounder, however late. The Boston Celtics weren't willing to build an offer around Terry Rozier and a first-round pick, per Celtics Blog's Jared Weiss , so it's not like Orlando's options were getting any better. Raptors Grade: A. Toronto landed Ibaka without giving up Patrick Patterson—who, when healthy, is sneaky-valuable to its defensive schemes—or Norman Powell. General manager Masai Ujiri deserves some sort of award for patient opportunism. Ibaka may have peaked, but he doesn't demand the ball on offense, can hit threes at ...

... plays wide receiver for the University of Richmond football team. Oshae said he adored his older brother and tagged along with him everywhere when they were kids. Dejon, a Richmond sophomore, introduced Oshae to basketball. Like Oshae, Dejon attended high school in the states. With two children scattered in two different states, the Brissetts spent plenty of time group-chatting. His family, Oshae said, is close. "He's a pretty mature kid," Athlete Institute coach Chris Cobbina said. "He's got a really good head on his shoulders. And he's easy to root for because he does the right things. He's not a guy you have to chase around campus to go to class or be on time for things. I think he really wants to be good and I think he's getting a taste of how good he can be. With some success comes more hunger to get better.". His pure athleticism, his ability to jump and run with fluid, effortless grace, is what initially impresses visitors to an Athlete Institute practice. Brissett said SU assistant ...

Grading The Lakers’ Trade Deadline

... Hemmelgarn-USA TODAY Sports. The Los Angeles Lakers made two main moves at the NBA trade deadline. In two separate trades with the Houston Rockets, the Lakers sent Lou Williams to Houston in exchange for Corey Brewer’s contract and Houston’s first round pick in the 2017 NBA Draft and then followed that up by sending out Marcelo “The Catalyst” Huertas and taking back third-year guard Tyler Ennis. What did our staff think of the deals? As always, opinions differed. Ben Rosales. Grade: A-. The Lakers accomplished their primary goal at the deadline in dealing away Lou Williams and getting a first rounder, albeit a late one, in return. With the scouting infrastructure led by Ryan West and Jesse Buss sticking around, this is a rock solid asset and we should have a lot of faith in them picking a contributor in that range. Additionally, the pick can be packaged with Luol Deng or Timofey Mozgov in order to sweeten a deal to dump their contracts, although the Houston first likely is insufficient to convince another team to do so. Brewer is a bit of dead-weight unfortunately and he doesn't change the Lakers' cap situation, but hopefully he can recoup some of his value ...
