Share this: Both Paul George and Jimmy Butler have been tied to trade rumors with the Boston Celtics for quite some time, but don’t expect those rumors to come to fruition this summer. According to The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Celtics’ ownership of the No. 1 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft would make a trade for either superstar unlikely. “I think with Boston and Los Angeles getting No. 1 and No. 2, I think it makes it highly unlikely that Butler and George are involved in trades with those two teams,” Wojnarowski said, as transcribed by WEEI. “Danny Ainge at No. 1 now, with Jimmy Butler, they dealt with this at the trade deadline last spring.” Wojnarowski also noted that the Celtics reportedly are

Marquez praises positives of #JerezTest
Marc Marquez, P2: “I’m very happy with how the day went. We did 96 laps and didn’t even stop to eat. We had to do a lot of laps with the new exhaust to do different tests. We also tried the new Michelin front tyre, which is more like the one from last year – you can feel the bumps more but you have more grip. I like it, there are more possibilities. We’ll see if we’ll use it this year. We’ve had a lot of positives.” Source link

Red Sox’s Pitching Staff Off To Better Start Than Last Season
Share this: Despite ugly performances from Steven Wright and Rick Porcello this week, the Boston Red Sox’s pitching staff already is off to a better start 10 games into the season compared to last year’s campaign. Through 10 games in 2017, the Red Sox offensive numbers are down from a year ago, but their pitching has improved and is trending in the right direction. The team currently has a 4.40 ERA compared to a 4.81 ERA through their first 10 games of 2016. The addition of Chris Sale certainly has helped the cause, and it should get even better when David Price returns.

Jerry Krause, Architect Of Bulls’ Dynasty Of 1990s, Dies At 77
Share this: Jerry Krause, the two-time executive of the year for the Chicago Bulls during the 1990s, died Tuesday at the age of 77. He had been battling persistent health issues, according to The Chicago Tribune. Krause was the architect of the Bulls’ dynasty of the 1990s. The Chicago native took over as general manager in 1985 and surrounded Michael Jordan with the necessary pieces to win six NBA championships. He hired eventual Hall of Famer Phil Jackson from the Continental Basketball Association to be an assistant coach to Doug Collins in 1985, and made shockwaves when he fired Collins in favor of Jackson before the 1989-90 season. While the decision to hire Jackson paid huge dividends, Krause also orchestrated the 1987 trade that netted
