I’m saying those first rounders ain’t worth shit in regard to talent. Nobody that has traded all them picks is hurting…Twolves traded all that bullshit for Gobert and they in the playoffs every year. Clippers too. Pacers too. People want to save picks but fuck that go win now fuck a late rounder.
Pacers and Thunders showed fuck waiting for the future grab that shit now. Magic and Rockets if they have the right offseason can join that mix.
Why are yall shocked? Did yall see what Rudy got traded for? Or Bridges?
Timber wolves hit on Edwards; before him they wasn’t shit! I’m sure clippers regret that trade! I’m not sure what pacers trade you talking about. I don’t think it’s about saving; just getting the right value…
How does the NBA benefit from gambling activity?
The NBA benefits from a great and highly rated NBA finals. Again, this trade during the finals has ZERO tangible benefit.
According to me. Wtf you expect? I laid out my argument, I don’t need some fucking authority backing it.
No they did not! What are you talking about?? Pacers and thunder built their teams thru the draft. Pacers traded Paul George and got those picks; and then with those picks was able to acquire Hali; OKC traded PG for Shai and crazy picks; and then drafted well and still have picks; neither team did was Orlando just did; so what you talking about???
Which are designed to take money from suckers, not a reflection of what is actually happening behind the scenes.
Are you aware of the Phoenix Suns?
Check the minutes and production of both in the last 3 years. Without even looking, I think Bane has been the better player
Gambling brings in viewership!! That’s where the tv money comes in; the nba owners want tv streaming sponsorship etc money! That comes with viewership and news and shit; gambling fuels that! The more people gamble the more people watch…
Well, this trade certainly is not doing that for the finals…
Clippers regret trading SGA I’m sure….its the picks that don’t matter IMo. Pacers traded 3 first rounders for Siakam and ain’t hurting. Teams realize they can trade this shit because they will always have picks.
Finals average like 9 million per game right; so that’s like 54 million total per the “ratings”; which doesn’t include internet views or streaming or overseas stuff! Those “ratings” are good for those teams; again it’s bullshit but we gotta see thru it lol…
That’s not how Vegas works lol…
Phoenix has bigger issues but I will give you them. Who else? Mavs arent, Pacers aren’t, Knicks aren’t..who?
I wasn’t commenting on the ratings for the finals— my point was that this trade won’t encourage a single person to watch.
I feel what you are saying; but again
Per Wojnarowski, the 2024 picks Toronto receives includes Indiana’s own as well as the worst of Utah’s, Houston’s, Oklahoma City’s and the LA Clippers’. The 2026 pick sent to the Raptors will be the Pacers’ pick but is protected from Nos. 1-4, per Shams Charania of The Athletic.
So they gave up their pick and a protected pick and a pick they had acquired! But again they already have a deep team and it still wasn’t nowhere near what Orlando paid for Bane…
I was just giving an example off the top of my head to debunk your claim. There are definitely more examples but I don’t have them off the top.
Yes it is! Lakers are always overrated in Vegas odds when they are good because of more Lakers fans in Vegas and the Lakers drawing the attention of more casuals.
Casinos exist to make money, the odds for games are based on markets, not a scientific formula that purely reflects odds of winning. And these May/June player movement odds are even less based in reality than the game odds. They don’t know anything.
I get that what I’m saying is if Magic make the finals or ECF they not gonna care about those picks. I think Bane is gonna have a major impact.
Not entirely how it works. Trust me I do this shit Westbrook legit will go to one of those teams up there.
There are 7 teams on that list! That’s not saying shit, that is basically a quarter of the league!!!
Of course it is. That’s why I don’t get why you arguing. They posted the odds of 7 teams he may end up on…..
Maybe maybe not but it wont hurt the business of the nba!
Because this worthless bullshit gets circulated every day like it means something and it doesn’t.
I've said it on here before and many fans know as well as KD, KD had to leave Golden State.
He had to leave to show that he could stand on his own and win a championship. He was already being disrespected for winning two championships because he did it by joining a 73 win team.
Most don't speak about KD's championships and Finals MVP's or hold them in high regard, because of the team that he joined.
Everyone knew that it was Steph's team, everyone knew that KD was basically along for the ride on a championship caliber and championship winning team. Yes his contributions were needed, but the Warriors were already champions and KD was just the extra golden ticket.
So he had to leave.
And yes the people KD argues with are idiots, but usually he's speaking out on bullshit said about him.
He's nice enough to engage with the fans and straighten them out when they're spewing bs, and when he does that he's labeled sensitive.
He can't win.
Fuck all that! He should have stayed a won 4 total! You don’t leave Steph for Kyrie period!!!!
Fuck all that, this is why KD didn't win a chip in Brooklyn.
Again no you don't leave Steph, but in that situation KD had to leave.
It means nothing but he may end up on one of those teams? What you want us to talk about that gargoyle Draymon Green?
He hate Draymon like the rest of us.
Difference between us and him though is he ahd to actually see him everyday he probably hated it. Brooklyn just could never get healthy.....Kyrie and Steph man I don't know.....Both some beasts. And they was out EAst which should've been a cakewalk. Harden probably held the back. I don't know how but i'm sure he did.
