Indiana Pacers president Larry Bird made it clear that he doesnt intend to let three-time All-Star and new Olympic gold medalist Paul George get away anytime soon.The 26-year-old George already has a max deal that runs through 2018-19. Whenever George is ready to sign an extension, Bird promised to make it happen.?We want Paul here and we know what its going to cost and what its going to take, Bird said. If Paul wants to get a deal done, we will. Its a max deal. Theres no others, so theres no use talking about it. If he wants it, hes got it.According to IndyStar.com, George had conversations with Bird and the front office about his renegotiation options before heading to the Summer Olympics in August. George said then that the conversations were a good sign, but that a new deal was not close to being reached.We do whatever he wants to do, Bird said. Hes proven that hes a max player. Hes our best player. If he wants a new contract, whenever he wants it, well give it to him.In late July, George said he appreciated Birds efforts to bring in free-agent players to improve the Pacers.?Im glad hes not letting me waste years, he said then of Bird. I think Larry and (the rest of the front office) have expressed how bad they want to get back to (the Eastern Conference finals) by these moves this offseason. Im looking forward to getting us back there. Hes putting talent around me to help me get to what we all want to get accomplish, and thats a championship.Last season, George led the Pacers back to the playoffs by having the best year of his career. He averaged 23.1 points, seven rebounds and 4.1 assists in 81 games.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.?Adidas NMD Black And White .

They stumbled and staggered for much of the game before finally putting away the Browns (0-12) to give New York its longest winning streak since 2008.The Giants dont overwhelm anyone, but they do just enough to win and are in position to make the playoffs for the first time since 2011.Whatever it is, a win is a win, said Beckham, who had six catches for 96 yards and had a TD punt return called back. I dont think we took a step back today, but I definitely think we could have taken a bigger step forward. We got time. A couple more games left and now its time to progress this week.Manning threw a 32-yard TD pass to Beckham in the second quarter and added a 4-yarder to the star wide receiver with 5:10 left as the Giants avoided what would have been a devastating loss.They were lethargic and inconsistent on offense. On defense, the Giants gave up a few big plays and were probably fortunate they were playing the Browns.We have to get better, Giants coach Ben McAdoo said. We believe were going to win and find a way to get the game in our favor in the end.Its getting worse for the Browns, who have dropped 15 in a row since last season and are facing the possibility of joining the 2008 Detroit Lions as the only teams to go 0-16.Cleveland is 3-30 since ending the 2014 season with five consecutive losses.Following the game, Browns coach Hue Jackson had a lengthy meeting with upper management before meeting with reporters. Jackson was emotional when he talked about what this season has done to him.Being 0-12 is probably the hardest thing ever, he said. Ive never been through this, but Im not going to fall off the cliff. Do I get disappointed and frustrated? Yes. I dont want you to think I dont get mad or sad. I go through all those emotions, but at the same time I know what I signed up for.I know there are injuries and the things weve been through this season, where we are, where were trying to go.dddddddddddd You can either beat yourself up, and I do that enough, or you can put your head down and keep fighting and push through this. Thats what were going to do as a football team and an organization.Browns quarterback Josh McCown, back in the lineup after rookie Cody Kessler sustained his second concussion last week, finished with 322 yards passing and threw a TD pass to rookie Corey Coleman.With the Giants leading 14-6, Pierre-Paul rumbled 43 yards for his third career TD.The defensive end, who had three of New Yorks seven sacks, snagged the ball after McCowns arm was struck by Johnathan Hankins and raced to the end zone, putting the Giants ahead by two touchdowns.It was an interception, Pierre-Paul joked afterward. The ball never touched the ground.Robbie Gould missed the extra point, and that became a brief concern when McCown hooked up with Coleman to make it 20-13 with 8:17 left.However, Manning responded with a 73-yard drive, connecting with Beckham for 41 yards, before the scoring strike.We knew it was going to be a tough game, Manning said.GIANT STEPSThe 14-point margin was the Giants largest this season. New York collected its first seven wins by a combined 27 points, none by more than a touchdown.LOSERS LISTThe Browns joined seven franchises that have lost at least their first 12 games: the 2008 Lions; 1980 Saints (0-14); 1976 Buccaneers (0-14); 2011 Colts (0-13), 2007 Dolphins (0-13); 2001 Lions (0-12) and 1977 Bucs (0-12).MOVING UPWith his 37-yard completion to Cruz in the second quarter, Manning moved past Hall of Famer Fran Tarkenton (47,003) for eighth place in career yards. Up next is Warren Moon (49,325), but Manning has a long way to go to catch brother, Peyton, who finished with 71,940 yards.BANGED-UPBeckham went out briefly in the first quarter with an injured right thumb. He underwent X-rays and missed just one series before returning.Giants backup safety Nate Berhe sustained a concussion while covering a kickoff in the second quarter. Also, New York defensive end Owa Odighizuwa left with an injured left knee in the second quarter.Browns right guard John Greco sustained a mid-foot sprain.UP NEXTGiants: Visit Pittsburgh next Sunday.Browns: Have their open date next weekend.---For more NFL coverage: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
