1001  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Crypto business isn't for everyone on: September 12, 2022, 09:44:20 PM
Conclusion
Crypto business is meant only for patient people with strong heart who are not too greedy and are always ready to learn.
This is a good point, the crypto world indeed some people think it's easy and simple, especially the investment part buy, hold and finish, in fact it's not.

In making crypto investments, not only buying, strategies, anti-manipulating the market, types of crypto options, negative and positive issues, price considerations, some basic crypto investment science is highly recommended to learn, If you make the wrong choice and make an investment, you may never get the expected profit.

On the other hand as you conclude right, it means patience.
Most likely, the higher the patience you have, the more chances for you to end up being profitable in crypto. Knowing crypto is a very risky investment, then you should also be aware that making wrong decisions in crypto will also make you lose. That is why crypto business is not for everyone, although it’s open for everyone who want to invest, but it takes more witty and smart minds so you won’t always commit wrong decisions and lose your money in the long run.

You know, Canelo vs GGG is better than Canelo vs Bivol IMO, so I'd rather see the same boxer fighting than GGG vs Bivol or Canelo vs Bivol when the outcome still favors Bivol.

Well, Bivol stated that he is open to a Canelo rematch but it is the fight against Beterbiev he wanted.  Probably Bivol thinks that he can gain nothing if he has a rematch against Canelo, so he is aiming for an undisputed clash against Artur Beterbiev [1]
Quote
'To be honest, I want to fight for the other belts,' Bivol said of a Canelo rematch. 'But if he wants to fight me again then we can negotiate it, and if everything is fine for me then why not?'


So Canelo will be trying to find a way to get this fight, but Bivol could very well ignore him.

That depends if he think fighting Canelo is not gonna generate a lot of money, but still, we cannot deny that Canelo generates good PPV numbers and people are still watching him, so I don't think that losing against GGG is going to ruined his career, he can always come back, especially if he will beat Bivol on their rematch.

Canelo - Bivol II is still possible since Bivol is open for negotiation, if the negotiation goes well then we can probably see a rematch between the two, but I think Beterbiev - Bivol will generate more money than the said possible rematch because these analysts even say that the upcoming Ramirez - Bivol is way better than the previous match Bivol - Canelo. [2]

especially if he will beat Bivol on their rematch.

I think Bivol is too much for Canelo, you had already witnessed it in their first match.


[1] https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/boxing/article-11169143/Dmitry-Bivol-insists-does-NOT-want-Canelo-Alvarez-rematch-next.html
[2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBUWEQMoPxM

Canelo can pursue that fight but he is already at the back of a long queue and that means he will have to wait longer (and that also means that Canelo is quite older that time already) because Bivol is quite busy these days for preparing himself for a title defense fight against the former super-middleweight champion, Zurdo Ramirez.

And if by chance Bivol will be successful in that defense, next in line is an undisputed fight against Artur Beterbiev (if the latter will be successful in his title defense too) which holds the three remaining belts in light-heavyweight division and maybe there's a rematch clause for that too knowing Bob Arum would really do that extent because that means money. So, can Canelo wait for that long?
1003  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Vasiliy Lomachenko vs Jamaine Ortiz - October 29 on: September 09, 2022, 05:03:27 PM
Yes, he will not likely go for the kill early, but he will study his prey in the first couple of rounds and then developed his strategy as the rounds goes on. And then when he sense his opponent his weakening and can't keep up with him, he might go with different route, like jab, combo to confuse him and score maybe a knock out and mostly this fight will not go to the judges. Loma doesn't want his comeback fight to be a decision win.
It's very difficult to get a knockout chance in the first few rounds because his performance is still high defensively and Ortiz will counterattack if Limo loses his defense after attacking, so Limo is very careful in strategizing before there is a good chance to attack when the defense is weak. But you're right, this year's Limo fight is a great opportunity to prove hard training and his comeback get a TKO or KO win before the last round, I'm also on Limo side and I'm pretty sure he's got a knockout win in his boxing career roster for recent history.

It is not a bad idea to bet on Ortiz too, just throw some few bucks on him because we never know that Loma might get overwhelmed again just like what happened to him against Teo Lopez. But knowing Loma, he is likely going for a win here or even a KO if he can find that right opening to redeem his name again from that loss he got from Teo.
1004  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Haney vs Kambosos II (Undisputed) on: September 09, 2022, 04:05:58 PM
Is anybody here following Haney's Twitter? I like how he is being vocal and at the same time trolling or trash-talking. Last month, Haney was trolling Teofimo Lopez calling his performance like a poor one against a non-ranked fighter.

This month of September he is targeting Tank Davis, calling his WBA regular belt a Mickey Mouse belt. Of course, the WBA belt is not a major title since Haney got the Super WBA belt and all the remaining belts in the division. It's funny because prior to becoming an undisputed champion, Haney was called an e-mail champ after his WBC interim belt was upgraded as the WBC champion after the corrupt WBC president Sulaiman tried to introduce its new WBC Franchise (similar to Super WBA belt) belt as a major belt with higher credits than the usual WBC belt.

I actually like that he's too vocal, honest,, and opinionated at the same time. Most of his tweets are reliable though he's calling out other boxer's performances in a negative way yet his honest with his reviews. Other boxers and fans are already aware that Haney is just vocal at everything. He says things straight forward without fearing anyone.

He's just giving back the favor that he received some time ago, just like you said, he was used to be called as an e-mail champ. Now that he is the undisputed boxer in lightweight, he can now say anything what he likes to say to his fellow boxers in the same division as long as he doesn't cross any line. And of course, he has the right as he now boast to be the boxer to unify the belts in the said division.

Right, he was not given the respect he deserved some time ago. They said that he doesn't have the superstar power of the other 3 lightweights that time, but how ironic that he is now the undisputed and the other 3 has no belts except for Davis. So it's cool to here this from Haney and hopefully he can schedule with either Tank or Garcia or even Lomachenko in the future.

For sure Haney was a bit underrated in the past because he is such a silent type of boxer with almost no hype tagged in his name because he cannot really entertain his audience which is true but fate has its own ways and with Haney's hardwork, he slowly climbed through the ranks humbly and now that he is on the top, he is the most sought boxer as he holds all four belts.

It will be interesting and exciting to see Haney fighting Loma or Tank in the future but with Garcia? I don't think so, he will be played by Haney if he fight the latter directly.

No doubt offensive production, but Melo also needs to adjust to his defense, younger star might expose him and take that advantage, giving him a tough game, treating him as the weak side to make or create a play on his side.
kind of coach doesn't want to see having someone inside as a liability.

Seems not appropriate for me to expect Carmelo Anthony to adjust his defense at the current point of his career. He is almost on the retirement period. Why expect him to adjust on his weak side wherein the best thing he can do is to take advantage of what he's capable to do. The roster can be balance with both offense and defense. No need that all players are good in defense especially if Melo is on the lineup.

If struggling, then sit him out. He is currently averaging less playing time now compare to his usual. No need to give him 30MPG or something.

Yes, the league already knows that Carmelo is more of an offensive kind of player and even if he tries on adjusting his weak side, that will just mess his entire play because he will mostly try to improve his weakness rather than boosting up his strengths. Along with that fact, the whole league is looking at him as an additional asset in terms of offense because he can still give good numbers at his age.

The problem is that he's a liability on defense.  He had flashes of effort last year, but it's clear that he's out there to hit some threes and pad his stats.  I'm fine with it, but he's going to have difficulty landing an offer from a franchise he wants to be a part of.  Dame got him into Portland and LeBron got him into LA, but I think he's running out of friends to get him roster spots and I personally believe he's been blackballed from the NBA, so without a superstar making a push to sign him, he may have played his last game in the NBA.

As said in the above, his liability on the defense is not something the league haven't known and if there are some teams that will approach him then for sure that is because they need some good production from the bench. Recently, the Nets are looking forward to sign him but it didn't happen because the said team have some dramas going on inside and they are too busy with finding some teams that could match their request to trade Durant.

Let's see this coming week if there's someone who will give him a chance because Carmelo have also said that he is not going to look forward in re-signing with the Lakers.
1006  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: September 08, 2022, 06:18:18 PM
Kudos to Paul Butler for doing this. I cannot easily believe that he just signed this match-up. Is he too honorable or he's getting paid at least a million dollars in this fight or maybe both? But I am very happy that finally another undisputed championship is happening. Boxing is a little back to its glory days when champions should fight each other.

Inoue will smash Butler pretty easily. Faster, stronger, more powerful puncher, stronger chin, higher IQ, better stamina, heart and has more experience in high-level fights. Is there even an advantage that Butler has? Maybe some can say he is taller and has longer reach? But it also means he will enter the ring slimmer which is vulnerable to body punches.

Both! He is too honored to get the chance of fighting Inoue and yes, he will be paid at least few million dollars in this fight and that's guaranteed I think except for the PPV buys. Butler needs to seize this moment while he have the remaining belt that Inoue needed to be an undisputed in bantamweight, he might already know that he is nowhere close to the latter's power but he needed to endure this for the sake of the millions he could get from the fight.

I felt that Canelo's words that he wants to end the great career of Golovkin are too disrespectful. Especially considering the fact that Canelo himself was beaten by Bivol and his career is also in question. Maybe this is just a statement to keep up the hype, but in my opinion the words were chosen incorrectly. Now if Golovkin wins, it's more likely that Canelo will be forced to retire, hehe.

We can't blame Canelo if he said those words to Golovkin because he just recently lost his face in the crowd after he was defeated for being too ambitious in getting belts in the higher weight class, I believe Canelo just wanted to lift up the hype again that was once surrounded his name.

Golovkin as usual is still humble after that, but if in any case that Golovkin will be the hailed winner then I really bet that Canelo's name will be destroyed as he will be climbing the ranks again after that and his worth will reduce big time because of that fact. So yeah, he might retire if that happens.
1009  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Vasiliy Lomachenko vs Jamaine Ortiz - October 29 on: September 08, 2022, 04:11:40 PM
I do agree that upsets do happen in every fight like in the Lopez vs Kambosos or Him vs Lopez, but for Loma if might be a different case as he is coming from his war torn country and he wanted to show everything that he is back and that he will get back all his belts. He is also inspired by the win of his countryman, also trained by his father, Usyk. So I don't see him being careless or underestimate him, unless he is injured or something.

I just hope Loma won't start slow.  Since he is from a long break due to him participating in defending his country, there is a possibility that Loma will adjust since this is his first fight after a long break.  And besides, if we observe his fight against Lopez, he really started so slow there, it was in the later round when he starts showing what he has, so in the end, Loma lost via unanimous decision.
I think it is very possible that Lomachenko is going to start slow this fight precisely because of the factors that you mention, even if we know that he is a very good boxer the long period of inactivity is going to affect him and he will need a few rounds to adjust.

However I think he's so above Ortiz that this is not going to affect him significantly in the fight and Lomachenko should still be able to obtain an easy victory during this fight and then obtain a chance to challenge Haney and fight him during the next year.

That is likely the case for Loma on his comeback from war but I believe he can overcome it easily like we can see on other boxers as well because even if he's been out for a while, he still have some experience that he can grasp and use whenever he is adjusting just like in times like these.

Ortiz on the other hand, his only chance is in the early rounds when Loma is still adjusting but if he can't pull it in early rounds then it's already safe to say that he'll be defeated soon enough because as the fight drags on, Loma will slowly getting back to normal and the fight will also be more harder for Ortiz.

Scammers are very smart on how to get peoples attentions and they are also smart in inventing new strategies that can be so real to easily convince people . My worries is about beginners who are coming up, and if you make research most beginners in crytocurrency and on social media were once a victim to scammers and till date some beginners still fall for scammers.

To me,  the social media would have been the easiest way to fight against scam, to make beginners get aware "the strangers  you meet is at own risk ". This can always be in the mind when one encounter a stranger who want to offer free money or do business, one will have to think how real can it be.

Beginners don't get awareness of scam on social media,  some mostly get aware of scam with personal experience.
Social media has always been a good source of awareness not to fall for different traps of scammers. Its just that people are not mindful and are not cautious on what kind they are investing. Maybe because of personal greed or desires or whatsoever, but the fact that you invest simply means there's always risks on it. Its either you fall into wrong investments and lose your capital, or you end up investing in the right investments ang gain good amount of returns.

If i were Lomachenko, from war-braced Ukraine, lost the a fight that would have unified the belts and might probably get a rematch with Lopez, to fix the loss, I would fight Jamaine Ortiz with all I got. Though the fight would require much stamina, seeing that Ortiz is much younger and with sharper reflex. Like I said earlier, the Ukrainian Loma will fight like a mad man. He has so much to look forward to, and stronger opponents ahead. His technic is unique to him and this victory is going to help him stay motivated if to unify the belts is his goal in the long run

There's no need to chase Lopez, the belt that he losses to Teo have bene taken already by Kambosos. But in a twist, he lost it on this first defense against Haney and now they will have a rematch and most likely Haney will win again. And so if there is someone that he need to fight after this one is the winner of the Haney vs Kambosos. And as we all, Lopez has move to 140 lbs and Loma doesn't want to go that high just to avenge his lost.

After fighting Ortiz and went out successful the next stop is whoever that will be available for him. We are not sure yet if Haney

will win their rematch and be available for Loma or Kambosos will win and maybe a trilogy will take place before facing Loma, let see

if how the promoters will negotiate and established Loma's next fight. I just wanted to see him to win and rebuild his way to win

another title.

Lomachenko wouldn't have some trouble fighting Ortiz, I mean he will feel the ring at first because he was inactive for quite some time because of the war but I reckon that the same war made some good improvements on Loma because his sense will be more agile and I have no doubt on his stamina because the war itself trained him already.

As for Haney and Kambosos, the result is not determined yet but as for speculation, yes we might see a trilogy soon but Kambosos's chances is somehow lower compared to Haney. Kambosos will the same trouble piercing through the latter's defenses and he is not a KO artist, that makes the fight more harder.
1012  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 - September 17 on: September 02, 2022, 09:34:07 AM
Good mindset, so he will expect a different Canelo, and so his preparation might be different as compare to the last 2 fights. In any case what doesn't surprised me is if GGG is rob again, hehehe.

Golovkin didn't made much noise after he was robbed of the win in previous occasions. But this time I don't think that he will keep quiet. If something similar happens, then I expect him to protest. And already a lot of fans are pointing out what happened in 2017 and 2018. They are not going to keep quiet as well. The judges will be under a lot of pressure. They will be praying for a KO win, for either Canelo or Golovkin. They know that they need to help Canelo, since he is the cash cow. A good performance from Golovkin will make that difficult for them.

The boxing industry also knows that fact that Golovkin was robbed his win in their first encounter because the issue keeps on rising until now, I bet the judges now are being watched closely so that they would think twice in giving Canelo a favor and the people around the world won't be silent this time if there's an unfair judgment will happen in this trilogy.

People are rooting for GGG to win because of what happened in their last two encounters, they will accept defeat peacefully if it's really clear that GGG losses the fight but if it's the opposite then I guess there will be some trouble that Canelo can't avoid himself.
1013  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 02, 2022, 09:10:46 AM
I agree, let's say we give Westbrook a chance this season, if he improve under coach Ham then good for the Lakers. If not, then for sure in the middle of the season we might see him get traded. And there are rumors that Ham wanted Pat and Russ play at the same time. So it will be an interesting combination to see them both in the floor. Two high octane players, gonna be fun.

I think Los Angeles Lakers are always open to giving Westbrook a chance.

However, if things really not worked out and they see Westbrook is really struggling in his role or anything, it will be hard for the Lakers to trade him in the middle of the season as here in the off-season, they can't even find a good trade package from other teams. Maybe much more difficult during the off-season.

If they will decide to keep Westbrook, they should risk on him the whole season and just work on trading him the next off-season.

I believe the Lakers management wants Westbrook to go and be traded but Darvin Ham is saying opposite because we can remember that he wants Westbrook to stay because this new head coach has other plans that's why he is taking a stand to keep Westbrook. If only the Lakers has more things to offer for a trade then I bet Westbrook was already traded but they can't because they can't risk their future drafts as well.

I'm kind of curious though what Darvin Ham's strategy for Westbrook, so I guess we will see it soon. But if in any case that plan fails, the Laker's have Patrick to take take Westbrook's role.

They are setting the tone between their rooster and maybe they are experimenting if Pat and Westbrook can work together since if one of then fail to provide quality numbers according to their role then maybe its up for them to adjust and pick who among them will be better on starting spot. But feel confuse why Lakers get Pat and trade their future maybe from this action they struggle for next season because they trade their talented young players.

That current plan is to get them playing side by side while supporting the duo while also looking who is more effective for the duo, it's still a mystery because almost all is new including their style of attack because the coach is new just like you've said. I guess we will see it soon if Darvin Ham can make some good style out of these players. While rumor has it that Bev Pat will be staying longer in the Lakers as he will be the replacement of Westbrook after the latter finished his contract this next off-season.
1014  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: September 01, 2022, 06:58:00 PM
A mismatch? An easy win for Inoue? Not even a big challenge for Inoue? Can't blame some people's view about the match as the distance between Naoya Inoue and Paul Butler is really that wide and long gap. I can't even think of a way how Butler can survive the wrath of Inoue.

No mentioned venue at the moment but it's in Japan. The first time Paul Butler will fight outside the United Kingdom. Almost all advantages are on Inoue.

Wow! This fight took earlier than I expected because I believe at first that this fight will be possible next year and I didn't even know at all that both camps have an ongoing discussion to make this fight happen as I'm so focused on waiting for Spence-Crawford undisputed fight.

It's really safe to say that this fight is really a mismatch and will be a walk in the park for Inoue because Butler has no tools in his belt that could potentially defeat the Japanese boxer, therefore, the latter cannot really avoid getting a defeat in this fight. Well, the only good thing on Butler's side is that this fight might be his biggest paycheck in his career as he possesses the last remaining belt in the bantamweight division.

Perhaps it was on the radar of Inoue already, that if he ever won against Donaire he will look for a unifying and undisputed belt that Bulter hold. And Paul can't refuse it, a good opportunity to put his name for the best bantamweight.

However, the Monster is really hard to beat as it seems there are no flaws, offense and defense. The hardest puncher in this division so far, and then he has a high boxing IQ and then a good chin that no one has broken. He time Donaire cleanly in 2 rounds, so Butler will be happy if he can manage to go at least 5 rounds or more with Inoue before he too gets knock out.

Butler was already aiming for an undisputed fight against Inoue even before that he was set to fight Casimero first, but that didn't happen that's why Butler didn't got any hard time defeating Casimero's replacement. Butler knew that he will be making good money for this fight that's why he was eager to call for the fight after Inoue defeated Donaire in just mere 2 rounds, and also, I don't really think that Butler can actually defeat the monster of Japan because their skills set are really different and Inoue is totally in another league.

If AD avoids any major injury this season, I believe the Lakers could successfully run this roster again next season.

That's right, actually even if Westbrook were struggling last season but as long as AD were healthy, most likely Lakers will still have a shot in the NBA finals. With Lebron and AD leading the team, we've seen that before already when they won a championship.

Next season is going to be the last chance of this tamdem I believe, if they will still fail, most likely a trade is gonna happen.
The question right now is what are the chances that AD will not get injured? Because after the title that he got in the Bubble, he has been very inconsistent and unreliable because of injuries. He's very fragile that you can't rely on him. I'll just hope for him to be healthy all throughout the season and in the playoffs but will not be surprised if he will get injured because it is what is happening to him for the last 2 seasons.

The chances of the Lakers winning a title will be higher if AD will not get injured and Westbrook will improve and adjust. I believe that Lebron can still win a title with the Lakers. Just give him good teammates that will help him. I agree that this upcoming season will be the last chance not only for AD but also for Westbrook and if they still fail then they will be traded.

But that always has been a problem with AD ever since he came to the league. He is very talented but his availability is limited because of injury. Maybe there is something wrong with his physical training or something, but they have to do something about it. He is still very young so he should not be easily injured like this. Westbrook can have chemistry with AD and Lebron if they can play together more and that all relies on AD not getting injured.

He should try asking Lebron about that and what he should do to avoid long absences in the league whenever he gets caught by an injury, for sure Lebron can share some idea to AD because Lebron has managed to withstand some injuries that often times require long time to heal.

The Lakers won't be dominant if AD get caught by an injury this upcoming season again because there's no other young big man in the team that could replace him anytime if needed. Lebron will end up carrying his role again if that happens.

Seeing Loma and Haney in one ring would really be exciting though it will also be a big challenge for the both of them. Haney might really be the bettor favorite but I think Lomo would really show off his aggressiveness to beat down Haney. Loma vs Ortiz would be another opportunity for Loma to strengthen up his stamina in preparation for him to face Haney in the future.
This is my thoughts exactly. My money is on Lomachenko. For me, he possess the qualities of a good boxer. Unlike Ortiz, he has a better Boxing IQ and ring generalship. During the match, I expect that he’ll be able to pick up the pace to an intense level. This will in turn expose cracks in Ortiz ring IQ that should bring about mistakes in the ring. I see this match as a prep fight for Loma. The real deal is going to be with Haney.


I wouldn't bet my money against Lomachenko either because that's very unwise to do Grin
I also have no doubts that Lomachenko got this and he has the upper hand in this fight even if Oritz is younger and has the height and reach advantage. I'd say that those advantages that the latter have won't mean that much compared to Lomachenko's IQ in the ring. Also, there's a good probability that this fight could end in TKO/KO rather than a decision.

There are a lot of boxers that fought Lomachenko in their prime, with the height and reach advantage bust still lost to him. It just shows that Loma is really above those boxers, his trainer alone was un-orthodox, we haven't seen that kind of trainings before, it's not just his skills, but like the reaction time, it's just like watching Steph Curry doing his drills but not with a basketball, but some other training to improved his skill set, like decision making that why he has  big boxing IQ. Right, this fight could end in a TKO/KO and won't go to the judges scorecard.

He is one of the best in the boxing world, very entertaining to watch, and what I like about him is he does accept challenges and he proved most of the time that he is the best. Though he lost to Lopez, but if there's a chance they will have a rematch, I think Loma could win and maybe trilogy will happen.

No doubt about that, Lomachenko is truly a one of a kind boxer and he ain't boring to watch inside the ring. His defeat against Lopez doesn't define his greatness, it was just a simple mistake that cost him his belts but I bet he could defeat Lopez if he will be given a rematch and a trilogy will be indeed interesting to see soon. However, Lopez already climb another division.

Let's wait and see the outcome of this fight as we all know that this two fighter already proves what they got. And in their third match a lot of prediction comes up in our mind because as we can see that both fighters aiming for TKO or KO once again to prove that who is the best and if this fight ends up with a unanimous decision for sure there's a possible GGG vs canelo 4 .
The fourth fight wouldn't count as a professional record anymore, but an exhibition fight since GGG already retired when it's happen. It's sad to see there's no other good boxers that can compete GGG or Canelo on super middleweight or middleweight, so many fans only expect the fourth, fifth, sixth and so on. When GGG already retired, I think the super middleweight or middleweight would be boring.

In the very first place though, I don't think that 4 meetups between them are still possible even if GGG isn't retired yet.

This is the final journey between them regardless of the result. The trilogy is the final one.

After this fight, both boxers will now move on to their next plan without having any thoughts of having another rematch.

Same here, I don't really think that there will be a Canelo-GGG 4 in the future even if GGG will be hailed winner in this trilogy. Both camp will have their own separate way either one of them will climb another division but it will be an expensive defeat for Canelo and he cannot afford to have a back-to-back defeat this year as it will really ruin his career.

I agree, let's say we give Westbrook a chance this season, if he improve under coach Ham then good for the Lakers. If not, then for sure in the middle of the season we might see him get traded. And there are rumors that Ham wanted Pat and Russ play at the same time. So it will be an interesting combination to see them both in the floor. Two high octane players, gonna be fun.

I think Los Angeles Lakers are always open to giving Westbrook a chance.

However, if things really not worked out and they see Westbrook is really struggling in his role or anything, it will be hard for the Lakers to trade him in the middle of the season as here in the off-season, they can't even find a good trade package from other teams. Maybe much more difficult during the off-season.

If they will decide to keep Westbrook, they should risk on him the whole season and just work on trading him the next off-season.

I believe the Lakers management wants Westbrook to go and be traded but Darvin Ham is saying opposite because we can remember that he wants Westbrook to stay because this new head coach has other plans that's why he is taking a stand to keep Westbrook. If only the Lakers has more things to offer for a trade then I bet Westbrook was already traded but they can't because they can't risk their future drafts as well.

I'm kind of curious though what Darvin Ham's strategy for Westbrook, so I guess we will see it soon. But if in any case that plan fails, the Laker's have Patrick to take take Westbrook's role.

Pay off your debt first, the borrower needs the money more than you know. This is not just repaying a debt, but repaying the kindness of people who have been willing to give their trust.

Another general advice, don't invest anything from borrowed money. The current position, you are doing that.
Settle with your current debt first, and when you’re done repaying, that’s the perfect time to venture into an investment. But always DYOR first on your prospect investment so you won’t end up falling into wrong investments that will only waste your money and effort. As there are risks associated in every investment, the reason why you have to be very careful and just invest a portion of your hard-earned money, not the borrowed ones.

I don't think that Simmons can be a "shooting" guard, we all know that his one of his weak points, he can't shoot outside. He is more of a drive by player and assists man, so really a point guard. So now sure how they can space things up with Kyrie and Ben at the same time. Or it could be Irving and Simmons alternating as PG for the Nets, and then KD doing his thing and then Seth as their shooting guard. But we will have to see what kind of adjustment Nash will do with his 3 superstars that might overlap the position.


I would like to see them playing small, with Joe, Kyrie, Seth, Ben and KD with good ball movement. This lineup inside may work for

the Nets. Even in this small squad all are also good in defense, though Seth might be the weak side if in case he needs to guard a much bigger

and quicker star, but all four do know how to play tight defense if needed. It's more on how Nash will design their plays and what kind of system

that will fill the weak side, just like how the Warriors, when they are playing small, offense become their defense and it can be duplicated or can

be enhanced if all these players inside will be determined to win a game together.

I’m not expecting that Simmons can provide that kind expectation play that you are just assuming after he comes back but having him as PG assuming he will be performing in his prime will gonna give Nets an edge for the upcoming season if KD and Kyrie didn’t trade successfully but since these players heart is not with the Nets anymore then I doubt they can provide an explosive performance on the upcoming regular season for Nets because we alp know that there Playoffs choke gives them a major turn off.

They really need to have a better 6th man to give relieve to the team once starters is resting because this is there main problem aside from Seth Curry being not effective on crucial times of the game.

That is why Durant suggested recently to the management that they need to acquire Carmelo Anthony because they should have enough reserve in the bench who is already proven and actually produce good numbers if it will be given some time while the main line-up is taking some time to rest for a bit.

Anyway, there's this rumor that I find it funny because it was reportedly said in the article that the Brooklyn Nets could put Ben Simmons in the center in this upcoming season and I said to myself "are they serious? because that could be a reason that Simmons would throw his tantrums again" Grin
