Is not Russell the one to trade? I think it will be better if they trade him instead of the other players.
But of course, do let me know if I am wrong. The age difference is not a lot between them, right? They are basically almost the same age as each other.

So that should not be something to take into consideration in my opinion. The quality is the only thing everyone is probably going to look for. And of course, every team is going to try to get/keep the best players for themselves. And this is definitely an interesting situation.

Aqui no Brasil está tendo isso também, aqui na minha região é repleta de haitianos, venezuelanos e pessoas das mais diversas partes da África, como Moçambique, Camarões, etc...

Is it too early to say Palmeiras will win once again?

Betting houses are considering Flamengo as the favorite to win Brasileirão 2024. Palmeiras comes in second place and Atlético-MG in third. They might know something we don't, but it seems unreasonable to put Flamengo as favorite when Palmeiras remains unbeatable and getting stronger season after season. There aren't significant changes in Palmeiras team to consider they shouldn't be the favorite anymore.

They have proven to deliver a stable performance even in very unfavourable and uncertain conditions, like it happened last year with Botafogo dominating the champioship for a long time. Despite this fact, Palmeiras didn't get unsettled and bounced back in the end.

Mitchell could be a good fit for the Lakers if they are looking for a dynamic guard. However, I don't see that Cavaliers are gonna let their star player that gave the team some toughness, so most likely it will be Zach Lavine that will be traded with the Lakers as the latter have showed interest on not playing with the Bulls.

That's sad, the shoulder injury could affect his shooting and since he is a very aggressive player, he could be prone to injury. I hope the injury isn't that bad though, but it's a season ending injury. I can't believe we will lose another entertaining star this season, now the Memphis are done.

The news about the injury.
Grizzlies star Ja Morant to undergo season-ending shoulder surgery after tearing labrum at practice

In my opinion, it is not just Argentina and Brazil that should be seen as favorites to win the Copa América, Uruguay is also a strong candidate to win the Copa América, since Chile is also not doing well, so I only see the Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay as favorites to win. This is because in recent years the Copa América has been won by Argentina, Brazil and Chile. but when you look at which teams have won the most in this tournament, we have Argentina with 15 and Uruguay with 15. while Brazil only managed 9. This can be seen here:

They still won a ring without Durant though, so not sure if it ended with him. But that was like 2 years ago and it was as different Warriors know. That time they really have a lot of good role players who's willing to do everything in the court.

But now with their issues like Draymond Green indefinite suspension and then Klay having his shooting slump, Curry not the same anymore and then their role players is not at deep as before, the Warriors might have ended their dynasty already this year and it's going to be very hard for them to make the playoffs.

They’re saying Ja Morant is out for the season with his injury now. Ouch. The dangers of making a star athlete sit idle for so long… It’s quite possible he’ll never be the same after this and it’s very likely the result of his suspension. Not the greatest look for the NBA.

Yes, I wish Dorival Jr luck in carrying out this big responsibility, speculation about the future of the Brazilian national team manager has ended. I think all the players will respect him in the dressing room, his success with several clubs has become legitimacy for his quality performance and is worthy of appreciation. Personally, I hope that Dorival can promote young players to maintain regeneration in the Samba team squad. with his experience coaching clubs in local competitions, I think Dorival can have knowledge regarding these young talents.

What is clear is that managing the Brazilian National Team will not be easy, because the large fan base throughout the world means that the team performance is always in the spotlight. Dorival must get used to the pressure he will face in the future, such as calling players into the main squad. Intrigued by his future performance, future friendly matches will be a reference to see his strategy.

They can really surprise everyone with their teamwork and they proved it against the Red Hot Clippers by beating them in a fair game. If only they could not lose some more games after this one, their chance to reach the NBA playoffs could rise, and Yes! they have a greater chance of making it than the current GSW today and now that CP3 is resting because of injury, they cannot get any more chances to win unless they will gonna come up with a working plan with their other bench player but as we know GSW dynasty on championship has already ended this season because of the way they are playing.

We should remember that Lakers is no easy team and they are also in this situation last season so there's no doubt that they can still able to make it and get some spot on playoffs. To many Lakers fans are still hopeful that they can see a same Lakers last year especially if Lebron is healthy also AD so they just need to be consistent and be their on their crucial games since if AD or either Bron will be out of the picture then provably that will be the end of Lakers for their playoffs run this season.

I know to many people are doubtful on current condition of Lakers right now but they need to think that Lakers still a championship contender so for sure they will do more better performance since for sure they don't like to be on bad position since many people look forward for them to compete on playoffs.

The presence of quality coaches will increase Brazil chances of winning the championship trophy in every competition they take part in. Dorival JR, who managed to win the Copa Libertadores and the Brazilian Cup with Sao Paulo, is being considered by the Brazilian Football Federation (CFB), perhaps local coaches will be given more priority because they understand the culture of their team, So it is felt that Dorival JR is the right person to carry out this responsibility.

Brazil challenge in the future is very big, not only to qualify for the World Cup, but in the next few months they will take part in the Copa America competition, I think that could be an opportunity to assess the quality of Dorival JR before going further to the 2026 World cup. regarding Ancelotti who failed to be appointed as Brazil coach, It is reported that the dismissal of the CFB President was a strong reason behind the failure of this decision.

Overall, the Brazilian national team squad is filled with players with extraordinary talent, we can see the names of their stars who play for a number of top european clubs. if the current problems are not handled well, They could lose their luck in every competition, and we can never imagine that at all.

The stoppages in the Brazilian championship are following the FIFA agenda, just like in other countries
In Brazil nowadays there's a different situation than there was years ago, several foreigners playing here, Argentinians, Uruguayans, Paraguayans etc, so I think it's a trend and the right thing to do

I remember seeing somewhere that last year there were 130 foreigners in the Brazilian league A, including players and coaches

About the opening match
As I said in the previous post, I'm betting on Palmeiras vs Flamengo at the Allianz Arena (Palmeiras' stadium)

Well, the Lakers players are making it hard on themselves by performing so poorly lately. Fortunately, they still have enough time to find the reason for their defeats and improve their spot in the standings. By the way, the Lakers have been lucky so far in the fact that the win/loss difference between many teams in the middle of the Western Conference is not that big at the moment.

Fernando Diniz, who previously served as interim coach of the Brazilian National Team, has been fired, I think the Brazilian Football Federation will try hard to find a new successor to bring their country back into consideration, not only in the World Cup but in the Copa America too.

There are wild rumors circulating that Jose Mourinho is linked with the Brazilian national team, but he admits that no one has contacted him until now. We know Mourinho contract will end in june 2024, but I think The Special One will not be Brazil coach after they failed to recruit Ancelotti.

Brazil is currently at its lowest point, it is reported that a series of changes in coaches in the National Team and the removal of the President of the Federation received a warning from FIFA, it seems that the problem has become very complex at the moment, and I hope it can be resolved quickly so that it does not have a negative impact on the team future development.

Yes!
Here in Brazil, this year we had the biggest prize in history in the country's main lottery. This certainly motivates many people to bet, and I was also one of them, as I bet much more than I should have, and I didn't win anything

However, here the main difference and motivator for betting is not so much the amount drawn, but rather because the last lottery of the year is special... the prize does not accumulate, that is, there must be a winner. This means that if no one wins with the 6 dozens drawn, then the prize goes to whoever got just five right.
Then the chances increase.

But this year, 5 people managed to get all 6 draws right and I only got 3 right in a "pool" (collective bet) of more than 2000 bets.

I'm very unlucky!

As we know, Brazil is one of the countries that has the best football talent. Almost all leagues have players from Brazil.
The reason is that Brazil is currently still managed by a caretaker coach, this has a big influence on their performance.
Ancelotti is still under contract with Real Madrid until 2026, therefore they must immediately look for other suitable options.
There are several names of the world's best coaches who they can immediately contract to fill the vacant coaching seat.

I believe Brazil will find their best performance sooner or later, it's just a matter of strategy and technique from the coaching team to be able to improve it.
Because almost all the players in the current team are playing in the big European leagues. So it will be easier to adapt.

There's no exact date for his return but definitely he is not gonna come back this season.

Check the latest update here https://www.rotowire.com/basketball/player/lonzo-ball-4110


He will have more time to heal and get back on his old self if he will not force returning this season. Next season, we will see if Ball would return, and he will probably have to play with new some new teammate/s as Zach Lavine is likely to be traded.

This opening match is sure to attract more attention, to have a full stadium and full media attention, since it will only be 1 game
And it will be on April 13th
I also believe that it will be Palmeiras vs Flamengo, it makes more sense to have a match between the champion (from the state of São Paulo) and the team with the biggest fans (from the state of Rio de Janeiro) Flamengo, it will certainly fill the stadium and give a lot of audience. There are Flamengo fans all over Brazil
