Kuminga is good but he does not play the Center position, they need a center who can defend the paint and we saw that even Looney is not enough to defend the bigs of their opponent. They need someone that is healthy and who can play defense consistently, I think that's their focus for the next season to come.

I have to disagree that Golden State Warriors are really eyeing a Big Man to enhance and improved their defensive phase. It's been several seasons already where they are always playing a small ball. Instead of covering what's lacking in their defense, they are destroying their opponents with a good field goal percentage.

That strategy is proven and effective since then. No need for them to fill the gap for a Center position. And besides, even with a small ball, it's not that they are totally not good in defense. There are several times here in the playoffs where they are able to limit their opponent's offensive phase.

Just for a recap, the Nuggets, Grizzlies, Mavericks, and Celtics are all good teams with a good FG % in the recent season but not a problem actually for the Warriors.

In general, they are really the better team, but just in case they will try to improve their weakness, who knows if their opponent will find a way to beat them because of their lack of size. I don't know, but I have a feeling if the LA Lakers (with a championship form) were the one who play the Warriors, I think they will lose, but then again, my opinion could be wrong as well.

For me him boarding the plan and going back to the Philippines is a sign that he wants to play and sign the re-negotiation of his contract. There's no way that you are willing to fly if he didn't consider his new contract. And as what Lastimosa said, they are just waiting for his signature and for sure it's a win-win situation for both parties.

Great news if he will playback, he's the new Jason Castro of this team, transition from Alapag to Castro and now it's William's term.

Like what you just said, I think there's a good negotiation that happened the very reason why he fly back to Philippines he still interested

to play and help the team, let see if what will be the next update in  regards to this issue, if Mike camp will re-sign the contract and play

or he will fly-back home and look for other options.
What's the reason of playing in the PBA if he will not re sign, for sure TNT will give him a max contract + under the table because he proved he is a superstar and in the first season in the PBA, he already gave them the championship, now it's time for him to enjoy his hardwork.

If PBA is a business, players with high demand are also doing business on their terms. Now, we can say that Williams is in the best position to demand because he showed his best and help his team to succeed. In fact, even without him, TNT is still good, so how much more if he will start playing inspired because he has a good contract.
1983  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: [Q]To take a loan or not to on: June 20, 2022, 10:42:14 AM
In bloodbath times, I tend to think to take a loan and invest in few prominent currencies and leave it for few years. Then I realize what happened to Luna and realize there is nothing surefire here.

So, there is risk in taking loan but then reward is high, and there is sense of safety in not taking loan. You would be kind of free? Yes you didn't make much/took advantage of market downturn but you are free, you have nothing to worry for?
You can take a loan actually but don't use it to invest in crypto but rather put it into the investment where you can assure good profit at the end of the month (or at least).

However, if both parties will agree with the term and conditions being presented, then that's up to you then. But I suggest for you OP not to just focus on investing crypto this time. With that borrowed amount, I highly recommend splitting it in order to minimize risk, and at least, if ever you lose there is something that could be able to save you.

It is undeniable how these Decentralized finances become distrusted by many because of the scam involvement in the past and the recent days.
We can't blame people to say like that as perhaps, they are the ones also making these things. I actually have no experience with them and that was because I don't have any trust in them since before and their untrustworthiness was been proven several times I have no doubt that their performance is questionable.
1985  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is this a good list for longterm investment? on: June 19, 2022, 02:40:46 PM
I do not consider any coin other than Bitcoin and ethereum suitable for long term investment. Because in my 5 years of experience I see that only Bitcoin and ethereum are trusted coin. There are other coins today but not tomorrow. For example, in 2017 Litecoin was in the top ten coins but not now. Again in 2021 DogeCoin was at the top of the discussion but during the next bullrun maybe any other coin will be top of the discussion. Also the destruction of Luna coin in 2022.
May you can't because of some points and market considerations but it was not only BTC and ETH that are suitable for long-term investment, we may also consider those coins that are in the top 10 coins. For many years, they still remain in the market and this is a big factor to look at. Of course, not meme coins nor those projects in hyped, we look for those projects that have a working product.

As to the list of OP, only the 3 coins I may consider BTC, ETH, and Polygon...well the rest, I don't know...I have no confidence with them.
1986  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Did Bitcoin Disappointed You ? on: June 19, 2022, 12:34:31 PM
I would say it really disappoints me in the past years when I just rejected not to sell them during the ATH but for now, I understand how. We don't need to be disappointed nor to hate the market but have to adapt to the changes as this will somehow come unpredictably. We have to always be prepared and not to be surprised when the bear season comes, perhaps, this is not new, it is indeed existing since from the very beginning.

As we are here in crypto, making some investments, we are encouraged to accept and adapt to the nature of the market. Otherwise, we make ourselves uncomfortable.
1987  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season - Finals on: June 19, 2022, 11:40:04 AM
So many rumors lurking around after the championship win by the Warriors. One of them is cutting the luxury tax.
This will not be easy for the team to let go some of their players as they really did great in their run to achieve the best ending. And, they have rookies who are proving worthy to be kept. Kuminga especially who might be their next key if they want a back to back championship. We know their weak point is the paint but with Kuminga gaining more experience they may patch that big hole that had been missing in the team. A backup player for Draymond and Looney.

Kuminga is good but he does not play the Center position, they need a center who can defend the paint and we saw that even Looney is not enough to defend the bigs of their opponent. They need someone that is healthy and who can play defense consistently, I think that's their focus for the next season to come.

We have Ginebra vs Magnolia next game.

What's your pick guys? I think I like the Magnolia here, they lose to the TNT and I believe they will bounce back to win.
Right now they are +2.5 but I will take the moneyline, I think it's where public will find Ginebra very attractive but I'll go the other way.

My Pick is Ginebra, this is a never say die team, and I like their team effort. This might be a close game again because Magnolia is also a good team, but 4th quarter  will always be the deciding quarter and I give that advantage to the Gin Kings since they are good in 4th quarter.
1989  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Trading Volume an important metric ? on: June 18, 2022, 11:05:32 PM
How important is trading volume when trying to decide whether to invest in a new project ? The higher the better ? But if people are "selling off" like crazy wouldn't that also mean a high trading volume ?

Trading volume doesn't really mean a project is good to invest on because there are a lot a fake volumes out there on pump and dump projects.
So.. As a project get stronger or have more use case or get popular, the volume will increase.
Yes, you are right but it was a big contribution when choosing a coin to trade. Well, of course, you have to check the background of the project if the said volume was faked or something real. Perhaps, this is not just the only basis we check, and to see their consistency could prove their legitimacy like the top listed coins. Choosing known projects together with reliable and trusted exchanges helps us to recognize if these projects are worth trading or not.
1990  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is dead! on: June 18, 2022, 09:49:03 PM
now btc has dropped to around $18k. many also say that the potential continues to fall. But looking at the purchase order book is also getting crowded. So I'm sure those who buy today are lucky people if they can hold it strong. because even when looking at the history of the decline in btc. then we will also be treated to that after going down a lot then btc will go up much more than its decline. an example like the OP's post.
We can see a huge buyer demand but we can also see the high selling demand makes the market doing deeper. It is still going to imagine that many were still not change their mind and easily get panic, I'm not sure but these newcomers have been causing this tragic drops as those old-timers had made their way to holding after having an experience in the past.

Bitcoin is dead, collapsing - everything we heard negative can be possible at this time but having said, only strong hands live and are willing to take risks while weak people don't deserve it.
1991  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: June 18, 2022, 12:02:29 PM

Well, next game, I like the TNT here, I missed the odds now, what is the point spread on this game.



TNT is the underdog, so you are getting a good odds with your bet.

Quote
I will just bet on live because it's not available anymore... by the way, I almost won my Blackwater 11+ bet, that was x10 odds.
This bet had a chance because Blackwater had a double digit lead but Blackwaer were not able to keep, they just did enough to win.

Good luck on the TNT bet though, they can win this game.
1992  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season - Finals on: June 18, 2022, 11:37:14 AM
There's a rumor that Andrew Wiggins might be potential trade due to increasing salary wage of Warriors. They need to trade someone to resolve this and Wiggins has the high chance rate to be trade since Warriors will not gonna let go there Big 3. I don't know if this will commence but I believe this possible since Warriors has really have a high salary cap right now and this is not healthy to there franchise.
I won't be surprised if there will be an actual trade for him. He's now going to get the attention after they've taken the championship this final.
We don't know what it will be I guess this is an early expectation and we just have to wait for a few more weeks or a month to see such news like this.

Yup, rumors will circulate and with his performance this last season, interest to bring him in will flow.

It will depend on the Warriors team owner if how they will handle his case, if Wiggins will be after for the money, Max contract
or a good long-term deal should be on the table.

Unless he will be wanting for more rings, staying inside Warriors and adjust to the amount the team can offer him, just like how
Tim Duncan did when he still playing for the Spurs. He adjusts to meet the salary cap.

Warriors kept Durant, so there's a chance that they will keep Wiggins, though I must say that the Warriors were unbeatable with Durant playing on the team, Wiggins is also a big peace in the roster that makes the team successful. Well, the management will decide and for sure it will be for the improvemnet of the team.
1993  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Doge coin in trouble? on: June 17, 2022, 11:34:48 PM
The issue is getting hotter on social media since Elon Musk is a known person. It really get the attention of the public and the majority had already known this. But what gives me more exciting is to see how these Dogecoin holders think about it or decided to sell their coins at this time. I'm pretty sure this will create panic and worries for them, and most likely, this will help to dump their price even more.

This is the thing I've worried about, someone involved in a hype causing major losses to the investors will hold responsible for it and this is what it happen to Elon Muck. He does too much to Doge and takes all the blame, that's the consequence.

1994  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to avoid crippling losses when trading? on: June 17, 2022, 10:30:58 PM
Crypto trading is a unique thing, the opportunity to rise by thousands of percent in a day can be obtained, instead we can lose 99% in a day or even less, as happened with Luna only takes a week to drop from $ 100 to $ 0,0001, and in my opinion things What we can do is determine the target profit and target loss, what I do is immediately sell when profit is 10% and immediately sell when a loss is 15%.

That is why crypto trading is a high-risk activity, because highly volatile price movements are difficult to predict. So make sure before deciding
to trade crypto we already have sufficient knowledge and can analyze market movements well. In order to avoid trading in the wrong coins,
and also be able to use effective strategies to generate profits.
It can be riskier if we don't have knowledge and skill about this and I suggest those who come and try trading must invest their time knowing the market first and have some mentor to assist. I'm not going to say we should have to keep this person forever, it is just the days when we are in the learning process. In this way, we are able to understand how that trading works and simply guide us to a better choice of coins to trade and the basis of it. It can't be simply ( a different view to others) and that is why we need to take this seriously otherwise.

I think Curry can break the number of championships Jordan has won.

If remains healthy, he can do that for sure. Curry is only 34 years old, there are plenty of seasons to be played and he just needs to win 3 straight seasons so he can break the record of MJ, and of course, win the finals MVP as well so it would solidify his legacy.
1996  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: June 17, 2022, 11:37:20 AM
Nice game between the SMB and Magnolia now. I  took the SMB when they were down and I got them on ML.

It's still a close game now, both teams are just trading baskets and it doesn't matter if it will end up a close game as long as SMB wins.  Grin
1997  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA Finals 2022 - Warriors vs Celtics. on: June 16, 2022, 09:41:13 PM
do you know what are score-line odds for Curry tonight?
Curry is over/under 29.5.

Look, bookies are still confident with that line despite of the poor performance of Curry in game 5, I think Curry will have a bounce back game and will again score at least 30 points. That line is quite very tempting, I might take it.
1998  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Start crypto earning on: June 15, 2022, 11:37:54 PM
Hi dear I want to ask to you about crypto trading, what do you recommend if I have 1000 USD and want to grow it by crypto. How can I do it safely and low risk?
The bolded one can be depending on you on how you manage your actual trade. It can't be guaranteed that whatever we say will help you it is because you are the one doing this. And in the first place, trading is accompanied by risk and no profit assurance. But I think this is not the thing we put in mind, if we have a plan for doing this see to it that we are also positive and our mindset is focused on how to improve our trades rather than being destructed with negativity.

But I suggest starting with a small amount while familiarizing the market, like having $100 is good enough. You can top some if you can assess yourself that you are ready enough to handle the market and stress.
1999  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency Huge Down from ATHs. what will happen the next ? on: June 13, 2022, 09:52:35 PM
Oh, I was wrong in saying that Bitcoin will never fall below $25k. I could say now that this is the real bear season that people are waiting for and some are getting afraid of. The sudden huge price dive may be because of the issue with the US banning Bitcoin mining and market inflation. It is how sad to see the huge impact of that thing causing panic selling.
Quote
“The crypto market has been under pressure from the Federal Reserve, hiking the interest rates to combat inflation over the past few months. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and most cryptocurrencies suffered losses over the weekend after a broad sell-off following the data showing US inflation hitting a 40-year high,” said  Edul Patel Co-Founder and CEO of crypto investment platform Mudrex.

Kinda be saying there is no perfect prediction, all of a sudden this makes it happen and everything has changed.
2000  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it possible for Traditional Banks to cooperate with Crypto on: June 13, 2022, 09:27:29 PM
They're not OP instead, they will fight against the growth of crypto as they think this was a threat to them. Because the moment that crypto becomes legal, many will no longer use the banking system anymore. Of course, this never makes them die or the collapse of the banking system, however, this will cause a downtrend of their possible income.

Digitalization is a new trend now if we see, Banks have also upgraded their system to cope with the demand of digitalization. This is a way to a healthy compilation against cryptocurrencies.
