- October 09, 2018
However, the Heat retracted their initial offer after Minnesota tried for a "sweeter return" for the 29-year-old. Butler made it clear to Minnesota that he wants to be traded and that Miami was among his preferred destinations. Richardson, who averaged 12.9 points in 81 starts last season, is in the first season of a four-year, $42 million contract. Will the president and head coach that brought Butler to Minnesota - Tom Thibodeau - be able to get a deal done? He has listed the LA ... (more...)

Liverpool boss Klopp slams 'senseless' Nations League
- October 09, 2018
They will have their moments, but I thought we defended them brilliant - apart from the penalty and one or two situations, where we needed Alisson with a really good save.
