Nba Trade Rumors Mavericks Face Three Big Challenges In Dealing Dennis Smith Jr.

There are three challenges the Mavericks are facing when it comes to resolving the Dennis Smith Jr. situation. The first is pretty common: Dallas needs to find a suitable deal for a player who was the No. 9 pick in the 2017 draft, a 21-year-old who has averaged 14.4 points in 97 NBA games.

Nba Trades Paul George Heading To Thunder Oladipo Sabonis To Pacers

After months of speculation regarding Paul George’s future with the Pacers, George has been traded to the Thunder, according to ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne. TRADE TRACKER: Rumors, reported trades ahead of free agency After seven seasons with Indiana, George will join fellow All-Star and reigning MVP Russell Westbrook in Oklahoma City. George averaged 23.7 points per game during 2016-17, and if you pair that with Westbrook’s triple-double record and 31.6 PPG, the Thunder now have the second scoring option they need to contend in the Western Conference....

Nbc And Turner Here They Go Again

If talks resume, sources say, NBC will have to placate Turner’s big investors, Tele-Communications Inc. and Time Warner. The companies balked when GE asked them to take a smaller role in Turner Broadcasting. GE wanted two things: for the firms to give up veto power over any important moves by Turner and their right to buy Turner assets like CNN and TNT if they were put up for sale. Another problem: GE would have picked six of the seven directors slated to oversee the combined Turner-NBC operations....

Ncaa Championship 2017 Referees Didn T Cause Gonzaga Unc To Choose Physicality When Skill Failed Them

By a few. Although the crew of Mike Eades, Verne Harris and Michael Stephens were too easily tricked on some calls (UNC guard Joel Berry getting three free throws because he was blown down by Josh Perkins’ jetstream) or did not enforce the rules as directed (Zags center Zach Collins’ second foul came on what appeared to be a straight verticality play), the biggest reason they called so many fouls is because there were so many fouls....

Ncaa Grants Waiver To Transfer Wing Johnny Juzang Making Him Eligible For Ucla In 2020 21

A source close to Juzang told Sporting News that he will be permitted to play for the Bruins next season. A Los Angeles native who attended Harvard-Westlake School in Southern California, Juzang averaged 2.9 points for the Wildcats in 12 minutes per game.

Ncaa Midwest Region Preview Michigan State Virginia Rematch

Best storyline: Will it be Virginia vs. Michigan State III? This is becoming like the Rocky series. The first one was great — and yes, Carl Weathers was absolutely robbed of an Oscar nomination — but do we really have to keep adding to the series? It seems a bit unfair to the players to keep forcing them to climb over the same bodies to reach the ultimate goal of the Final Four....
