I don't know, but there are tweets that says the Lakers are seeing a young coach Spo in JJ Redick and that's why they hired him. Or a version of Steve Kerr when he become the head coach of the Warriors and brought them 4 rings and created the dynasty. However, I don't know who is in the management that has this vision of comparing JJ to this great coaches.

Anyhow, only time can tell, let's give Redick a chance but for sure there will be a lot of criticism to the Lakers management again, just like when they hired a inexperienced Darvin Ham to lead them which in turn didn't suit well for Lebron.

It seems to me that Lebron was instrumental in getting the Lakers to appoint JJ as head coach. If this is true, then we can already assume that LeBron will stay with the Lakers for at least one more season. I wouldn't be surprised if Lebron and the Lakers management already decided that the Lakers would sign Bronny in the offseason. Lips sealed

That's not far from happening as LeBron would always want to play with his son. He knows that his son is not a superstar, so playing on the same team might be beneficial for both him and Bronny, as Lebron can help build up his son's career. LeBron might not get another championship, but playing with his son would likely be a bigger success for him than winning another championship. And what if, with the arrival of his son on the Lakers, they win a championship? That would be a father and son making history by winning a championship together.

Yeah, it's always a dream for any father to stay healthy and play with your son, I think they are really working on it and it might be one of the reason why LeBron will stay, having his son on his team and getting a new coach who can lead the young star to take some minutes of playing and allow him to improve his confidence, I guess it's happening Bronny will be playing with his dad and the two will make a history, we never know we might see them both playing with another superstar who will help them to be more competitve, anything can happen, let's wait for any upcoming updates regarding to this.

Excited ako kay Klay Thompson kasi tiyak aalis na yan sa Warriors, nabas ko lang sa mga rumors, sa magic daw yata punta niya. Si Siakam naman, may rumors na mag sign ng magandang contract sa pacers, tapos si DeRozan, okay rin mapunta sa magandang team, kahit sa Warriors, okay na yan, baka may chance pa siyang mag champion.  Si harden, la akong masyadong pake.

Yan din ang ugong ugong na nababasa ko sa mga social media post, na si Klay mukhang papunta na ng Magic wala pa naman confirmation pero baka nga matuloy kung hindi na sya maooferan ng Warriors ng halagang mapagkakasunduan nila, tingin ko lang sa Pacers kung medyo maganda pa yung budget nila since free agent si DeRozan magandang isama ito kina Siakam at kay Haliburton para dagdag sa threat pagdating sa opensa, ang magiging problema lang sa nakikita ko eh kung paano makikisama si DeRozan kasi medyo malayo na sya sa prime nya kumbaga support na lang talaga at kung ano pang pwedeng iambag sa team na kukuha sa kanya.

Tingnan natin kung tutuhanin nung owner ng GSW kanyang sinabi noon na ang goal ng team is mapanatili ang Splash brothers hanggang sa magretiro sila. Pero para saken goods na rin na pakawalan si Klay dahil deteriorating na performance niya. Pwede rin kasi babalik hunger ni Klay pag nasa ibang team naman siya. Maganda rin Magic dahil mga bata at may potential at malaking tulong rin si Klay doon dahil beterano sa kampyonato.

Di mayaman na team ang Indiana pero dapat makuha nila Siakam otherwise back to team na walang intent magchampion. Possible rin kasi na meron mga teams na mag offer ng mas magandang offer kay Siakam. Si DeRozan baka papayag na yan ng medyo mababang sahod basta championship na team. Curious ako sa movement ng Lakers ngayong off-season.

Oo nga kabayan mukhang magandang bantayan kung anong hakbang ang gagawin ng Lakers after makuha ulit ng Boston ang pinakamaraming kampeonato sa liga, pagkatapos kasi ng Bubbles naitabla ng Lakers yung 17 titles pero dahil sa nagawa ng Boston ngayon umangat na ulit sila ng isa at kung mananatili ang lineup nila mukhang palag pa rin ito hanggang sa susunod na season.

Tignan natin kung anong gagawing improvement ng lakers after magpalit ng coach at ng mga staff nito, malamang meron din player movements ang lakers kung magpupursige silang itabla ulit ang rankings.

Doubling your bet is not even a method instead it is a norm for gamblers. Every gambler went to the hall or visit the website for the hope of doubling the amount he went with and so e of them before even playing the game they have already budget the money so if they lose it's like they want to dieing. And it is only a responsible gambler reluctantly with happiness leave the gambling scene when  has won back his money and plus the gain. But the greedy ones would stay back and play to win bigger price.

And that would have been the end of the money but it is only the lucky ones survive with that second plan.
Doubling your bet can makes you lose much money because no guarantee you can wins in gambling. Even if he believe that he can wins easily, that still no guarantee he can wins so it's better to place the money he can afford to lose to avoids the big lose. Doubling your bet means you use more money than usual because you hopes that you can wins in the next rounds and you thinks that this is the time for you to wins.

But many people disappointed with the outcomes because they lose their money and can't recovers their lose easily. They must realizes that they will difficult to double their money in gambling but they will have a chance to lose much money by doubling their money. They must remember that playing gambling needs to use enough money and that's the money we can afford to lose.

Acceptance will solidify your desire strategy, as long as you have that mindset that you can quit after losing or you can quit after achieving your goals, then that's your advantage, most of the time, those who created strategy unable to sustain that idea, they mostly push by intentions to win more instead of being contented with some profits or doubling their initial capital.

With that mistake, they will keep suffering from losing and will just repeatedly commits that same mistake and lose a lot.

Early retirement is sometimes very desirable for many people. However, early retirement has many considerations, and I feel that as long as you can make money as an influencer, or maybe a content creator, or can work without time limits, then we should do that.

Yeah right if you have that capabilities then grab it as early as possible, there are many available venue where you can earn at the comfort of your room and with no limitation of your time, if you aim to retire much early you should invest and save those money that you can earn while you are doing this.

Quote
There are many things that need to be considered in early retirement, such as alternative income that must be stable, savings, investments, and others. However, without deep consideration, early retirement will only cause you difficulties in the future. I suggest you keep working, even if it's as an influencer or a job that you can do casually.

Alternative income that comes with your save money, as some said, let your money work for you once you already have that capabilities to invest with something that you expect to grow.

We just need to remember that the numbers on the balance of any casino or betting platform are absolutely real money. Each of us knows how hard it is to earn money and therefore we should appreciate it and not treat it disdainfully. In general, the scariest thing in gambling and betting is the moment when a player devalues the meaning of money. When earnings are no longer important to him, but only the expectation of a new rate is important. At this point, the gambler does not need either positive emotions or victory, but only being in the game itself.
And as the player accumulates debts, he wants to escape from reality more and more. And this should not be the case, you should always understand that gambling is the first Game. It can't change their lives for the better if they don't have self-control.
That makes sense, indeed with many gamblers they usually don't care about the value of money anymore when they focus only on their expectations about the big win they can get. Considering that gambling will not be easy to win or make money, gamblers should be aware of this not to over-expect, because when they focus on their expectations, it can make them fall deeper into gambling and that of course can drain their finances. because what they do is only based on expectations, which can be said to be expectations that are unlikely to come true.
That's true, gambling is not something that is guaranteed to change your life for sure. because this is a game that involves profits and losses, but for players it is the losses that will dominate more than the profits. with the occurrence of many bad effects, it is because they do not have good self-control with the gambling they do, so it is not surprising that when they gamble, they feel or want to complete their experience.

No guarantee at all, and if you don't play wisely then expect that instead of making money you'll just continue losing a lot, it's very important that you know how to control both your finances and emotions, especially if luck already backing you up, know when to stop while you still have that chance to earn money, as most of the time, the gamblers who's in the winning streaks thinks that they will continue to have same outcome to the point that instead of quitting they will push and aim for more, it's a wise decision to quit while you are still in green instead of regretting that you missed your chance taking your profits.

Great call by the Thunder. Josh Giddey has been inconsistent of the first 5 and he performed bad in the last playoffs. For sure Caruso's defense and experience will help his new team to become better in the next season. Thunder still has future draft picks to come and they will have no problems putting Caruso on the starting line up or in the bench depending on their style of play.

I expect this young team to at least proceed in the second round of the playoffs in this coming new season. SGA proved himself a great player and leader while his young team mates gained the much needed playoffs experience.

They need someone that possess both offense and defense someone like Holiday type of a player who really can contribute not just with the defense but also with the offesive side, I think we all knew how Carusso played, he can be a great addition to support SGA orchestrating their defense and also carry some loads if both SGA and Chet having difficulty to scores, Carusso can bring that help.

Let's see if how Thunders will play with this trades and how they will use Carusso with their campaign in this upcoming new season, good take for both Thunders and Carusso they can help each other to entertain the fans.

Thank you kabayan for the correction, I made my own little research and indeed it was their first title after 14 years of campaign. This may be their first but this could the first of many championships to come as this one really bolster their confidence that they could beat a giant team like Ginebra and SMB. If they could get a good import this Commissioner's Cup then most likely we can see them fighting for the championship again later this year.

Hopefully kabayan since TNT seems unable to find the right blend to compete with SMC's squads it's better to see another team to carry the torch of MVP's squad hahaha, we can't deny the fact that only two giant owners can really pay for players /stars that will be compensated so well, and moving back with Meralco's current roster, hopefully they will continue working with more improvements and with that competitive desire to win another title if given a chance.

With the wholse cast of this curretn champ roster, adding a good import who can give them that support that they need to stay on top, let see if how they will perform this coming new season.
189  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can someone take gambling as a source of income to he/she life? on: June 21, 2024, 08:31:46 AM
But playing gambling doesn't always live up to expectations, the longer you play gambling, the more ambition comes. because measuring the time must be obtained properly and the results are appropriate. for gamblers who have a wise nature, they will not follow big passions with the goal of winning big, but only entertainment that doesn't have high hopes or fills free time.

Gambling does not guarantee that we will become rich, it depends on how we play, and gambling also does not always win, sometimes we also lose, most of the time there are losses rather than profits, but people are lost in their passion to continue playing without thinking about how they have lost.

They all have their own way, wise people play casually when they lose, then they will stop for a moment and then the next day start again, not just keep playing without thinking about the losses, in the end they are highly stressed due to the losses they receive.

I agree to that statement, wise gamblers or we can call them experienced gamblers use their ability to pause or stop for a while when suffering with defeats, instead of pushing for more they will just end the session and take a breathing to think and analyze what they're doing wrong, they will comeback with a fresh mindsets of continuing their goals, some manage to earn but some might not, though the chance of cashing out some earnings is on how you play with your luck and how good you are in quitting when that luck hits you.

And wise people also won't gamble again the next day when they lose today, usually they have a long time span before gambling again, maybe only when they are off from work that drains their energy.

Gambling can not be expected as a place to earn money, gambling should be considered as a place of entertainment and therefore should not have expectations of victory or big profits, defeat is more in it when we examine it properly, there are no people who are rich from gambling so far, wise people and understand how this world works will not depend on gambling to fulfill their family life, if there are still people who do that I think they need to read more about what gambling really is.

I see your point, there are experienced gamblers who have that kind of limitation inside them, they are not aiming to return after suffering from a defeat instead, they will find time to chill and rest their minds free from anything related to their gambling activities, this kind of practices gives them that good insight to what they need to do to improve their chance once they decided to play back, though in gambling there's no assurance that you may win after but the chance of losing a lot, that's already a good way and practice in avoiding getting addicted and might give you a chance to win some from this industy.
190  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Committing mistakes helps us to become a responsible gambler. on: June 20, 2024, 06:01:43 PM
You don't have to commit the mistakes yourself, there's a thing called being wise and learning from other people's mistakes because it works the best, some might say that it's the experience that differentiates but does that really matter because in my opinion, it doesn't. Think about it this way, if you've got the opportunity to do things the right way all the way, wouldn't you always take that opportunity no matter what? That's the same thing with learning from other's mistakes.

Good point,  if you have that chance to avoid making mistakes as there's already someone who just did why bother to repeat it? I guess it's wise not to allow yourself to experience the same fate that happened from other people with that same mistake,  better to learn from them as you go and proceed with high hopes that you'll be able to win, though most of the time, gamblers always wanted to explore and try things that adds up the risk with their money.

Instead of avoiding to experience the same mistake they will push and try if luck will permits them not to suffer with that same mistake.

The Celtics dominated the NBA from start to finish this season and crushed their opponents in the playoffs. However, the Celtics have always scared their fans with their misfortunes in the past years, but they finally became champions and the curse on the team was lifted. I also think the Celtics had the easiest championship in recent years. They have only three losses in the playoffs. They have become a near perfect system team and they have a very good roster. If they manage to maintain that and add to the current roster, they will be the strongest contenders for the championship next season.
That had always been the problem with winning teams, they cannot consistently maintain their roster and I won't blame the players and coaches for that, it's all about the management which could sometimes make some wrong decisions.
I bet they will make some trades but Derrick White and Jrue Holiday will probably stay. But we don't know if Boston Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck could still pay for the luxury tax the next season. $41 million dollars. That's a lot of money and I hope he is getting all that back after being champions of the 2024 NBA Finals.
But they are paying way too much just to get this championship caliber of a roster.
$49.3M - Jaylen Brown
$34.8M - Jayson Tatum
$30M - Jrue Holiday
$29.2M - Kristaps Porzingis
$20.0M - Derrick White
$9M - Al Horford.
https://www.spotrac.com/nba/boston-celtics/cap/_/year/2024

Just that will make you realize that this is really a team that was built to take the beating and also beat players down and I am sure glad they are the champions but we should not expect they can keep that roster in the next years to come. Too expensive.
Yeah right, not unless the management is willing to embrace that taxes and avail the current roster to continue playing for them, just like what you said its all about how the management will play their cards after winning the title, it's a expensive squad that they produce though the players and coaches who work alongside with each other really provide the outcome that the management was expecting we don't know if they will keep them all or they need to let someone go to cut their expenses.

You probably know that almost all new meme projects are coming out now. Do you think it is really risky? what effect do you think this could have for the bull market!
Memecoins are currently flooding the market with hard hit and as you asked and I will say it is risky because scammers will also use this opportunity to launch fake airdrops to scam people. My country government warned all the citizens to avoid investing on the Davido memecoins because it is a scam project. Right now celebrities have join the scamming game of launching fake airdrops.
Though I am not saying that people should not invest but if you must invest, invest wisely and don't invest and enter the wrong memecoins to be scammed.

Invest wisely that's the right term on it, better to weight your chance and the risk as there are many meme projects that being offered, if you understand the risk and you know how to handle the pressure then you can take that path and try your luck, but if you are not willing to lose and you are not that calm when situation turned against you, it's best to choose good project and patiently wait for your chance to earn decent money, forget about memes if you are not capable on losing your investment.

What a run for Meralco and finally, they get their first ever title in PBA.
They are contender to the title for years and now they finally make it and yes Newsome did a great job this season. Still kudos to SMB for showing their hearts out, I'm gonna miss PBA again as the next conference will take more time to wait. Have you guys celebrated along with Meralco or lose the bet with SMB? I made some profit here betting with Meralco, it's worth the risk.

In my memory serves me right, this championship is the second on the franchise while first for the Philippine Cup.

Based in wiki, that was their first championship.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meralco_Bolts

Quote
Founded   2010
History   Meralco Bolts (2010–present)

Championships   1 championship
2024 Philippine

5 Finals appearances

Newsome and Hodges were instrumental in that championship and yes kudos to the Beermen for giving the Finals a must anticipated game to watch and as i have observed, fans were trooping to the arena to watch those finals games.

On the 6 six game of that Finals, i was 4/6, the lose were the last two game as i though that the Beermen would win that game after a good showing in game 4. I regret on not sticking to my game plan of always betting for the Bolts until the end of the series.

True, Hodge is also a big factor in that success, his energy on the floor is remarkable. He really put an effort on defense and getting the rebounds despite  of the bigs of SMB, it was a hard earned victory for them and they deserve their first championship of their franchise.

Just getting curious with kabayang bisdak reply I also check it online and according to that same post you shared it is the first one for Meralco to win a PBA title, and for me, winning it during the All-filipino cup is a sweetest one, that means a lot since that there are few teams who are exchanging the title.

And now that they already have one, they just need to add good import to reinforce them, they've got the talents and the chemistries, just need to keep that same squad and keep improving, they might win more if they continue playing like this, a squad who lean with each other on both thier offense and defense.
195  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you achieved anything from gambling on: June 20, 2024, 12:55:59 PM
I wonder why people come out to say they haven't achieved anything from gambling,and they still go on to play games.How can you know that something is not good for you,and you still go on to continue that stuff,is that not foolishness?.So many people are aware that gambling will only wreck their life's rather than add something  reasonable to it.But I can still say that gambling needs understanding because most people who are winning on a daily still put head together and are able to get the ones that would not dissappoint them,and fear giving it out, because there is no sure game anywhere.

You don't  have to be surprised because gambling is a habit that metamorphosis to addiction and you know what that means, most times when you ask some gamblers why are they deep into it, there response will be like, we are hopeful to win, you mever can tell the particular selection that will make us win, this has always been their mindset, your reasoning with theirs can never be the same, a chronic gamblers believes that a missed gambling session is an opprtunity to win, gamblers have a different understanding about things, i have met a gambler who told me that if you don't gamble, you will still spend your money on something else so instead of you to do that why not put it in gambling you might be lucky to win, that's to tell you that many gamblers see gambling as a way of making quick money, even though the lose, they keep pushing hoping that their day will come as for quiting is a no no thing for them.


That kind of perceptions makes them addicted more into gambling, instead of having other things to do with their money they just take it and gamble with their fate, and most of the time the outcome turns against them, we can't tell how many people who do have that same thinking but it's true that there are people who lean with luck thinking that gambling is a quick access to earn money.

but in reality, it's a quick way to lose your money rather than to earn, achieving something that comes from your luck should be wisely use, never missed that chance to quit and stop when you already acheived something decent.
196  Economy / Economics / Re: Would you prefer getting a loan for a startup or getting an investor? on: June 20, 2024, 12:27:46 PM
It depends on the contract. If you can find an investor that isn’t greedy, then that’s a great option because investors are usually better than loans. When you have an investor, if anything goes wrong, it’s his money that goes, you’re not held responsible as he knew the risk. If you take a loan, they don’t care what you did to the money, you have to pay it back. But there are some contracts with investors that can make you consider a loan that you would an investor.
Of course having a contract is a must.You should never do any business with anybody if there is no possible contract, that way everything will put into legality with the presence of a licensed attorney.

Now investors are actually greedy since it’s their money that are being risked in the first place. However, your responsibility here is to act as a business partner, so that you can ensure that everything in your business idea is followed so that the success will be certain, unless if the investor itself will find his own way on achieving the business’ success.

Indeed, that’s all it cost when you have an investor, that’s the major point with which we can say that investors are better than loan because all you have to apply is as much as your intellectual property of the said business, if it fails, you just have to prove that you did your best. But it would be great if you could make it work out because it’ll leave a track record that you’ve done something with an investor and it went well. Just in case you have future ideas and would need investors again. It is something that would boost their confidence.

If you failed ut manage to prove that you already did everything according to your road map then you don't have any liabilities with your investors, unlike with loaning your start up capital, if you failed you need to repay your loan and you are subjected to return the money or else legal actions will take place against you.

It's important to understand the trust you have from your ideas, if you think that there's a big chance that it will prosper along the way, then barrowing money is your option that will allow you to earn everything after the success, unlike with investors they have that percentages with the earnings that your project earns.
197  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: June 20, 2024, 12:15:09 PM
~snip~
Of course, if we talk about gambling then there will be no difference between rich and poor people in terms of opportunities, it is difficult to explain it in detail, but what is certain is that everyone has their own lucky times that can lead them to victory, rich and poor people still can win, but perhaps by a different amount.

But still the problem of who will win more often between rich and poor will never be known, the reason is clear because luck is something that can never be controlled which will only come by chance without you knowing, meaning there is no element consistency in terms of achieving victory.

Simply put, whoever you are, rich or poor, you have the opportunity to win, but you also have the possibility to lose, the only difference between the two people is in terms of the amount of winnings because it is clear that rich people bet bigger amounts than other people. poor, but we must understand that rich people can also experience far greater losses than poor people.

True, and at the end of the day rich and poor both can end up with zero in their accounts.

It doesn't really matter with how much you started if your ending balance is zero.

The difference might be that the rich person might have a larger buffer and stop before it's too late though.

Correct, because of that buffer and mishandling of their finances rich gamblers can exceed a lot though it is  a case to case experienced as there are rich gamblers who knows how to stop a kind of disipcline which they adopt from how they play with their wealth, same thing with poor gamblers, there are many who over exceed from their capabilities to the point that they are risking amount of money which is allocated to their family but because of mishandling their finances they lose it all while playing.

The great Warren Buffett said,  “If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.”

He’s mostly right isn’t it. Try to create a passive income if possible.
Precisely. However, not everyone is capable to make an income while sleeping, that's why a lot struggle in dealing and managing their finances not to end up shortage. But in all honesty, it's never the worth of the investment that becomes a problem, but most likely on the type of mindset that we continue to adapt even if we know already that it's not getting us the best advantage.
To get passive income, you really need a mindset and intelligence in reading situations, so that what we do can be maximized. For lower class people, for example, they live and socialize at their own level, and of course this hinders their mindset from moving forward, because they don't have big thoughts about moving forward. Of course, this must start from ourselves, so that we have the intention to change our fate

Start with a dream then follow by actions, even you are in th low level class if you have that dream and you are doing everything to attain it, then there's always a perfect ways to achieved, I think people who knows how to play with their money always look for a good source of income that can allow them to do freely use their time.

Just like how OP describe things, if you find a kind of investment where you can grow your money then better to take that opportunities and let your money works for you.

Not just in crypto but also in other forms of investment where there's increase or growth with your initial capital.

Anyone have heard of this news? Pistons fire coach Monty Williams one season into record-setting $78.5 million contract.

Quote
The Detroit Pistons fired coach Monty Williams, the team announced Wednesday. The decision to part ways with Williams now reportedly came at the ownership level. Williams, who was hired last offseason on a then-unprecedented six-year, $78.5 million contract, lasted just one year in his new role with the Pistons. He went 14-68 in a disastrous season that included a 28-game losing streak.

And after just signing a huge contract, first year coach Monty Williams was fired as obviously, I think the expectations was not met by the Pistons and they went into a humiliating season. Williams credibility has been shattered again, he was once a great coach 2-3 seasons ago when he lead the Suns into the finals and then almost win the NBA trophy with a 2-0 lead against the Bucks only to have a meltdown. And after that it was all downhill for them and then the Suns fired him. And now this, just shows that basketball coaches doesn't have a job tenure and they are the first head to roll if a team went very bad.

IMO, we'll see news like this in the upcoming days. Every team is going to reform their roster and as well as their coaching staff.

Whatever is the management for each team think what's best for them, they'd do it even if it's going to take a revocation of a coach, a player or anyone in the organization a contract.

This is what's the ugly side of these franchises and company, they can revoke someone's contract at their own will when they're not satisfied. There's always that clause included in it.

If it's not profitable then they can just let it go, no players or coaches are safe as the managements will always aim for money, and with how the Piston performs last season it's a managements decision to revoke the contract to find a suitable person for a vacant position and hope that it will bring something decent to attract fans to buy tickets and thier merchandise.

As you said, we might see more news regarding to how teams will reform for the betterment of the franchise.

Not easy to apply indeed, there are times where you think that you already have that control but eventually you lose your patiene or because of adrenaline inside you, you feel that you need more and at times, you'll overexceed with your limits, though some may able to stop and go back with the original set up but most of them who already been controlled by greed they will keep pushing forward and will forget about the strategy that they've created, and then again, they will regret not to stay with the plan as most of the outcome turned against you.

Humans weren't born to be losers, starting from the formation of foetus in the womb, they struggled to get there and being born shows that the child indeed fought dearly to survive and won. However I believe the configuration of not wanting to be a loser is already planted in us and that why gamblers wouldn't want to loss against the casino and that why they keep coming back to make sure they are on the winning side. However not every gambler see it this way, few have been able to understand the consequences of trying to get back at the casino for their loss and it usually don't end well for them. So the best way is to dis-configure your brain from thinking that the casino owes you, and that the only way to escape addiction.

Even how hard gambler will try the configuration and settings of a casino is to make money, it will just a repeated mistake if you keep trying to chase your loss and adds up more money to play, it's best to set that limitation and follow whatever settings you set up as your strategy, if you manage to execute that system and not to exceed on it, the chance of enjoying and breaking that continually mistake over might be change and maybe it will favor you on both financial and mental aspects.
