Imagine if Jamal was there playing with Rising Porter Jr, a re-enforcement Magic star Gordon and with his very familiar Duo, the current season MVP Jokic'. They are all good from both offense and defense, a very silent dark horse who can beat any super team, just need them to jive once again a team that composed of all role players who know how to fill their position inside the court.
Injuries hurt them a lot.
But they found new things about their team. One good example is the discovery of Campazzo. We didn't know that guy will be a pest to every pointguard out there.
His hassle in the defensive end will surely help when Jamal needs some bench time.

I think that the biggest candidate for winning the championship this season are Brooklyn Nets. They struggled with injuries too much in the last season. We couldn't watch KD - Irving - Harden trio very much. But in this season, I believe this won't happen again. And this time, they will reach the championship.
Same as last year. There's a lot of expectation for them but it's a different team that won the championship and even Suns was not expected to be on top of the West.
My first wish will be for a healthy season so we could be entertained more without any excuse because of injuries.

Just make sure that you're not using any centralised exchange/hosted wallet.

Fact of the matter is that even if they don't explicitly ban the withdrawal/deposit of gambling related funds into their site, they can always change that stanec and freeze your account.

You don't want to risk that imo. Just stick to the basic stuff - Electrum if you can get desktop applications, or Blockchain.com if you need a browser version.
I agree. Electrum might be the best user-friendly and free application out there to store your Bitcoins.
The problem with centralized wallets is they might freeze your funds if they see most withdrawals came from a gambling site.
Just to be on the safe side, send it to something with your ownership.
You might spend more from withdrawal fees from the gambling site then, another if you want to exchange it for cash but if it means the whole security is fine then just do the longest method.
You prevented your funds from being frozen and remained part anonymous.

For me, I would like to see more merchants willing to accept cryptocurrency payments, but I will not use cryptocurrency for payment.
The technology of cryptocurrency has become more and more mature, and what still needs to be strengthened is the regulatory level. From the perspective of circulation, we can see whether the future of cryptocurrency is valuable.
And this is why it will never happen for a long time.
You want to see more merchants having the option to accept cryptocurrencies as payment but yet you as a customer will not use it.
So why? If I am a merchant why should I even take the effort to open a different payment option? I'll just use cash and credit cards instead then I won't have any problem with risk and volatility.

Both ends have a problem. Merchants and customers. You don't want to spend it, merchants don't want to risk it. Who will take the huge step for adoption?

There might not be a next time for Dennis Schroder.

I think by now everything has settles down on him, he readily accepted the Celtics offer and blow a once in a lifetime windfall from the Lakers. And there are a lot of memes going around and having a field day roasting him specially from Lakers fan, Lol.
And once the Lakers meet Celtics in the season we will hear chants of boos all around the Staples Center.
This kind of mistake will never be forgotten too easily. They will remember it.  Grin

Denver Nuggets re-sign free agent guard Will Barton III

Big help. He proved a lot during the season and playoffs. It's just the hamstring injury that he should take care of.
Wishing for a Nuggets healthy year and Michael Porter Jr. taking his game to greater heights like how he did in the season.
The playoffs is just too much for him but now he has the experience and that should control the tense he had last time. It's too obvious.

If it's not Bitcoin then it's an altcoin.
There are no hidden gems that you could find or gem coins or whatever they call them.
Finding where you will invest is the hardest part. What you can do is follow the trend. Most of the time it is profitable even if just for the short term.
Don't fall in love with the project, that's one of the crucial rules if it's just profit that you want.
Do your own research is kind of an old motto. Just try to lower the risk as much as possible by using every precautionary method that you can read.

If you want real, go purchase Bitcoin or Ethereum. It's been tested and but it takes a long time before you can harvest.
1806  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: August 11, 2021, 03:15:13 PM
Maybe that's what really on Dennis mind, he is still very young and we can say that he can still improved, or be a candidate for Most Improved if he really shows what he can really do with the Celtics team. Maybe playoff appearance first and then go for the second round with a healthy Jaylen Rose. So let's see if the gamble will pay back or not for Dennis next season. For sure, many will raise their eye brows and this NBA analyst will have a field day on him. So he better proved all his detractors wrong.
It's Jaylen Brown. Just to correct it.  Wink

I don't really mind what happened to Schroder. He is not yet in that position to have perks of high salaries like other great names in the league.
$85m was a good offer, actually, it's too good but he tried to go way beyond it thinking there would be a better contract that will be offered from other teams.
Both his agent and he made a mistake. Rewriting it won't be easy because now all eyes are on him and proving that you're worth the pay next season will need hard work and skill.
What made the path more difficult is he is considered a backup for Marcus Smart.
1807  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrency: The Future of Finance in a New World Order? on: August 11, 2021, 12:25:58 PM
Exactly.
There must be a change and it should be now.
We don't want anyone handing us over paper money, metal coins, or even plastic cards that had been passed from one person to another.
That's a culprit of virus and we can avoid that if we can transact with just the QR code or other options.
If there is a good time to do it, it is now. Financial establishments will be forced to do the same even if they don't want to.
Change is happening but the question is how fast will it be?

Japan is not a communist or dictator types of government but they're raise really have a good respect to the government.

I also love watching videos about their culture and even how they workout in times like this, even Covid is also hitting them but they
manage to work well and lessen the numbers of dying citizens.
Thanks to them for bringing the olympics even there's no real audiences but still they managed to finished it. Till then..

Yes. No audience is fine as long as they can complete the Olympics. Besides, people got used to just watch on their own televisions with live streaming.
I got used to it.  Grin I think that's not an issue for anyone anymore. That's why they say this is the new normal.  
Then, there are country flight restrictions, and Japan just trying to secure their own countrymen to avoid spreading the virus.

In the end, they did it. Sportsmanship is still alive and world peace.

Crazy thing is, someone informed hacker throughout transection to not use usdt which is blacklisted and hacker tipeed that address 13.37 eth. After knowing this, everyone's started to spam on his address for free money. Just check the ethereum address of that hacker. More entertainment on those transections.  Grin Grin

Yeah.. I could see more than 1,000 spam transactions to the address. But I don't know whether the guy who received 13.37 ETH in his wallet will be able to spend that money. If his address is linked to any exchange wallet, then he will find himself in big trouble. Legally, the authorities can't prosecute him, as he hasn't directly taken part in the hack. But he has received stolen coins and now his past transactions will also be under the scanner. And personally I don't encourage this sort of behavior. Why should anyone help the hackers?
Correct. He was used as a tool or an acquaintance. That is still punishable by law.
Instead of helping to track him, he was the one who provided the getaway car in terms of stealing.
The attacker insisted it was not about the money. So what is it for?

If I have this kind of gift to think at an awesome level, I'd rather use it for a better crypto industry. What is he thinking? Jail time is not fun at all than being in front of the computer everyday.
1810  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: August 11, 2021, 03:30:41 AM
With healthy Jamal and with the same lineup It's very possible to see this at the finals, though I'm also eyeing for the warriors with
a healthy splash bro and a possible Simmons, I'll wait if this would happened.
Oh yeah, splash brothers are back on the field.
Let's not forget Draymond the wise.  Grin That guy is scary underneath the rim and even in the offensive transition plays.
If ever they decide to take Simmons, there will be more trouble for other teams attacking the paint when both Ben and Draymond have a good lateral quickness that could stop even agile players.
West is full. Throw some in the East. Oops, they just did. Schroder $5.9m 1-year contract at Celtics.
1811  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: August 10, 2021, 04:48:26 PM
NBA managements, aside from the fine money is also looking for some sort of respect. They implement the rules and every team and players

are not exempt and needs to follow the rules that they signed after participating to this organization.
Respect. Hmm, I think they had that before. It's just that, team management could be excited about their new addition to the roster that's why it was earlier a minute, an hour or before they open the trades. It's still the trade day, and maybe just a different timeline.
The defending champ is +800, it's the same lineup, so I think they are undervalued here.
C'mon. Giannis still didn't gain the respect that he deserved.
He did great in the Finals changing the way NBA fans view basketball again. It's not just about 3 point shots anymore the inside game was brought back to life.
Nuggets vs Bucks this year.  Wink Offense in the paint will be resurrected. Jokic vs Giannis.  Tongue

I guess all I understand upon reading it fast is that there's no legal liability, so this trade will not be cancelled but they might just pay a monetary penalty in proven guilty.

This was the most interesting part from the article you shared.

Quote
No matter what happens, though, this much is clear: even those who want to stick to the rules will be compelled to walk the fine line considering that the benefits far outweigh the costs.
And that's what the NBA had been targetting in the first place. The fine.
They've been spending a lot of money on these players and they didn't give a chip for NBA management.
It could've been silenced if they just did that.
On an optimistic view, it could be NBA is just trying to warn all the teams to follow the right time upon doing the trades. We will see if it did work on the next trade deadline.
1815  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What if Elon musk launches his own coin? on: August 10, 2021, 07:38:13 AM
Now everyone rarely pays attention to Musk's tweets.He has no trustworthiness。
Maybe he launched his own token, which may be one of the hype coins, but no matter which token Musk launches, it is similar to Dogecoin or Dogshit. Everyone will also invest after market analysis.
You must first understand the project before investing
Thank goodness for that, finally.
After he bombarded Bitcoin with all his FUD just for the purpose of investors switching to Dogecoin for his own profit-seeking habit that's what should happen to him.
Obviously, it will occur if investors are wiser now than they were few years ago.
A stagnant project won't get them anywhere, when I mean stagnant it's not about the volatility or the price, it's the future.
All that hype he made for poor Dogecoin was all just for him. Now they can also lose a lot of supporters because of him.
1816  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: August 09, 2021, 03:05:31 PM
That's true, he really has a stellar season with the Celtics, but that serious injury ruined his future.

2016-2017 season was the best season of his career where he averaged 28.9 points. https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/t/thomais02.html
next season, he played with 6 teams already up to now.

His total earning so far is $31 million - https://hoopshype.com/player/isaiah-thomas/salary/ and that's 8 seasons of playing, while other players only gets that in one season.
That hurts for someone who is on his way to stardom but suddenly broke down because of his injury.
He led the Celtics to the Finals in 2017 even with his height which is amazing. Then, the lowest draft pick to be named as an All-Star. (2nd round, 60th pick)
That's all his hard work and yet not paid well enough but thankfully the Celtics fans appreciated him and gave a standing ovation while wearing a Cavs uniform.

32 years old. Still young, there's still a lot of years to play. Just fix that hip and be ready to go.
Kobe blessed him after the tweet.
1817  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to keep Bitcoin while getting benefits on: August 09, 2021, 02:01:07 PM
Mostly it will be with trading. You need to buy it back and gain some.
What you gain could be your starting point to make more profit and keep the initial investment that you made.
Just be sure you won't move that whatever happens.
Cons: Monitoring the crypto industry to trade better. Being active with any events that happen inside or even outside the crypto industry because some of them will affect it. It's a lot of work and that happens daily.
1818  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will governments prohibit developers from creating a new coin? on: August 09, 2021, 10:36:47 AM
Absolutely not No one can stop the development of new coins I think they will continue to evolve and grow and basically we will keep getting new coins including shit coins and money will keep changing hands so my advice is simple keep doing what you are doing and maybe take advantage of one or two fresh diamonds in the market and take care while it shines
Not true. They can stop it.
Try Binance as an example. No headquarters and some traders that had a problem with them do not know how to sue them without an address to fill up.
If you are a developer and creating a new coin for a new project you will need that because it will also add a trust rating that may become the reason to magnet purchasers. What if your government forbids it? It's not easy to move forward if your own country is against you.

The Charlotte Hornets are finalizing a multiyear contract extension for coach James Borrego, sources told ESPN.
Mostly, they just fire them if they can't reach the playoffs after their contract but it's different.
I think what changed everything was when LaMelo came. Not all rookies are given that amount of minutes in their first year but Borrego took the risk and it ended well until Ball was injured.
1820  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: August 08, 2021, 04:53:21 PM

It seems like the Lakers likes to experiment with their line up, when they won a championship, they still added more players and shifted some to other teams, now this is the biggest change of their lineup as they have a lot of additions, more veterans mean more playoffs experience, and with that, it will result to better chances of success next season.

That's normal, Lakers are a big team, they can afford to sign more players, and having Lebron in the team makes the team confident that they will again win a championship. I think they learned from their mistakes, they miss the chance for a repeat because of an injury, having more players that are capable to carry the team when one star player are injured would still make them a good contender.
They are signing short contracts for veteran players as they think chemistry won't be an issue for them.
With their experience, they could just go out individually in offense and if they miss, they will just to do better defensively which most of them are good at.
It's a good experiment but I doubt it will work with teams that has great chemistry like Bucks and Suns.
Let's analyze it maybe after 10 games. They may show worse at the first few games.
