When Paul George learned a trade to the Oklahoma City Thunder was a possibility, it was natural to seek out a peer who has already walked in those shoes.George was traded to the Thunder earlier this month after seven seasons with the Indiana Pacers. He talked to MVP Russell Westbrook about Oklahoma City and reached out to Kevin Durant, once a mainstay All-Star in OKC, who had no motive for steering George to the Thunder."KD was like, 'That place (Oklahoma City) will blow you away.' He told me, 'They can offer what other teams can't in terms of the people and the preparation and the facility, down to the chefs and the meals.' He was pretty high on (the Thunder). He thought it was a first-class organization in every way," George said in a Sports Illustrated interview. Durant left Oklahoma City in free agency one year ago, and won the NBA championship last month with the Golden State Warriors.

Wed Jul 12 201720:22Report: Knicks set to stick with Mills as front office bossCarmelo AnthonySFKnicksTeam Lorin
Steve Mills, who has been running the New York Knicks' front office since Phil Jackson departed last month, might be landing the job on a long-term basis.Knicks owner James Dolan is going ahead with his plan to have Mills remain as permanent team president, the New York Post reported Tuesday.Mills was in charge of the team's front office for a few months before Jackson was hired, but he was demoted when Jackson was brought on board.He became the interim head of the front office after Jackson left with the belief that someone would be brought in from outside to fill Jackson's shoes. There reportedly have been no negotiations between Dolan and Mills on a contract for the job.When Jackson left, initial speculation was that the Knicks would go after Toronto Raptors president Masai Ujiri, but that never panned out.The Knicks then pursued former Cleveland Cavaliers general manager David Griffin, but the two sides could not reach agreement on Griffin's exact role.In the meantime, Mills signed Tim Hardaway Jr. to a four-year, $71 million deal.So now it appears Mills will be running the Knicks, and he is expected to have final say on personnel decisions, according to the Post report.The Knicks will continue to schedule interviews for the No. 2 man under Mills.If Mills gets the job on a permanent basis as anticipated, he will face the question of what to do with Carmelo Anthony and his no-trade clause as well as Joakim Noah.

Chris PaulPGNO HornetsDef Fresh Flow
Carmelo Anthony is willing to waive his no-trade clause to join the Houston Rockets, and the New York Knicks are ramping up their efforts to oblige. According to ESPN, the teams are diligently working on a deal to send Anthony to Houston where he would join All-Star point guard Chris Paul and James Harden, another All-Star and volume scorer who flourished in Mike D'Antoni's offense last season. Anthony and former team president Phil Jackson feuded through the media with the Knicks mired in a rebuild and Anthony, who signed a five-year, $124 million deal upon Jackson's arrival, failing to meet Jackson's expectations. ESPN reported that the Rockets aren't being bashful about paying Anthony his guaranteed salary ($26,243,760) for the 2017-18 season, but the final year of that contract in 2018-19 ($27.9 million guaranteed) might be a roadblock unless the Knicks are willing to absorb a portion.A solution could be in the fine print of the contract.The contract includes a trade kicker of 15 percent,...
