Unfortunately, this year’s free-agent class is not very good. Many of the top players potentially available most likely won’t be or if they are, don’t fit with the Portland Trail Blazers roster. Another that may be problematic is the amount of money Anfernee Simons receives in his next contract. The going

Steven Gerrard admits that slip will ‘always hurt’

Chelsea go to Manchester United on Thursday looking to continue what has been a strange end to the season.

The team has an FA Cup final to look forward to in a couple of weeks, although they are out of the Champions League and marooned in third place in the Premier League. As a result, it would be easy for Thomas Tuchel’s team to lose some focus.
