Law Murray: Paul George on @PodcastPShow “I don’t have an ego… Yeah, I’m playing great. I still feel I can be aggressive, and understand I have three other killers out there with me.”

“I came here for one reason and one reason only, and that was to win championships,” LeBron James said. “That was my only goal. That was the only reason I teamed up with [Dwyane] Wade and [Chris] Bosh. Because I felt like I couldn’t do it in Cleveland. We couldn’t. … I tried to recruit guys to come to Cleveland. I tried to go and help the upstairs and it wasn’t happening. So I had an opportunity to be a free agent so I did what I thought was best, not only for my career but for me at that point in time.”

What are your goals for the team this season? Cam Thomas: I want us to keep getting better. I feel like we can very easily be 5-1 to start the season. Our first two games were basically one possession games. If we got that last shot against Cleveland, and then Luka Doncic hit an amazing shot at the end of the Dallas game. Obviously, the goal is to make the playoffs and win a championship. That’s what everybody’s aspirations are. I feel like we can make the playoffs and do some damage. We have a lot of length and versatility. Читать дальше...

James Harden‘s trade from the Sixers to the Clippers marks his third team-up with Russell Westbrook. The duo first shared the court in Oklahoma City at the start of their careers, later reconnecting in Houston for the 2019 season.

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas has been lighting up the scoreboard like Times Square on New Year’s Eve while making an early case for the NBA’s Most Improved Player award and potential All-Star consideration.

But in their previous stint together with the Houston Rockets in 2019-20, the two were able to reach only the second round of the postseason before falling in five games to the Los Angeles Lakers in the Orlando, Florida, bubble. Westbrook was traded to the Washington Wizards after that. “I don’t know if that applies to this situation,” said Tucker, who was on that Houston team with Westbrook and Harden. “Russ and James [have known] each other for years, so they’re familiar with each other, playing with each other.

Oklahoma City’s pick count over the next seven drafts: 14 first-rounders, 22 second-rounders and enough picks swaps to make your head spin. “When you simulate the GM mode in [NBA]2K, I tend to take the Sam Presti route and stack up picks,” Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant, the face of the franchise during Oklahoma City’s previous stretch as a contender, said last month. “You got so many assets in this league, you can do so much with a team.” The Thunder have the luxury of such extreme patience in...

The NBA had another record-breaking season in luxury tax distribution last year. Nine teams combined with $634.2 million in penalties in 2022-23, eclipsing the previous record $481 million paid by seven teams in 2021-22. This also continues a trend where luxury tax penalties have increased each season since 2019-20. That trend is about to end this season with total penalties expected to decline.

“Starting with myself, just can’t come out being selfish, worrying about however many points I wanna score,” Edwards said. “Just playing within the game, playing within the flow, I think that’s the main thing with me. I be worried so much about scoring and how many points I got and how many points I’m tryin’ to get instead of just worrying about the little things, rebounding, boxing out, getting back on D.”
