It looks like the top teams for the draft are going to pick some big guys in the first round. Word is that Jabari Smith will be the no. 1 for Orlando Magic.

....
Can the board still need to approve this or Michael always have the last word here?
This is an internal matter but I think it's a collective decision and not his alone. It's possible that their vote on who to pick is based on the number of their shares so that's the same as saying his decision weigh more than the rest of the board.

Yeah it's either Jabari, chet or Paulo.  All fine players.  Chet has the most risk reward to me.  Does he become Kevin Durant lanky or does he get muscled right out of the NBA.  I'd go with Jabari or Paulo over chet since the floor is so high on those guys.

Recently Michael Jordan's poor draft decisions have been mentioned in the media.

Quote
MICHAEL JORDAN IS 'WORST NBA OWNER EVER,' BAYLESS SAYS

Then, there were the draft decisions.

"Michael Jordan is the man who took Adam Morrison over Brandon Roy. He took Kemba (Walker) over Klay (Thompson) and Kawhi (Leonard). Michael took Michael Kidd-Gilchrist over Bradley Beal, Cody Zeller over Giannis (Anteokounmpo), Noah Vonleh over Zach LaVine, Frank Kaminsky over Devin Booker. He even took Malik Monk over Donovan Mitchell.

https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nba/michael-jordan-is-worst-nba-owner-ever-bayless-says

As majority owner of the charlotte hornets, I hope Michael Jordan can do himself proud in this year's draft.

If only to offset the catastrophic draft calls he's made over the past decade.

Mike is a lot of things but a good evaluator he is not.  Best thing he can do is keep his hands off the draft and let the professional evaluators do it.  That's why they have a job.  Don't expect this draft to be any different for Mike.  I do like bridges that was a good pick.  And ball was a gimme pick at 3 they had to take him.

They're set as +100 undergods against the #Lightning.

Tampa is usually good at home but I'm liking the avs here not bad pricing, can get some decent value throwing them on a parlay.  Honestly after last game it doesn't look like they will lose a game but I guess anything can happen.

Trade Randle for the 4th pick or just for the cap space? Wow, that will be a risky move but maybe it could work.
Barrett was the one who shine at the season while Randle is having a contagious off night. I'd do that if I were the Knicks management.
Looking at the mock draft by different analyst I see the Knicks picking Duren. I was confused first as they have Mitchell Robinson but to my shock that's because he is entering free agency so they need a new center.

Yeah big mitch is a free agent and will get paid more than the Knicks can give him.  If they hold the 11 spot I'd rather them take mark Williams than duren. Julius is good but needs to go.  Knicks are real young with rj, IQ, obi, q grimes, etc. Julius and obi play the same spot.  Drafted obi in the early 1st he needs a shot otherwise it's a wasted pick.  And yeah Knicks haven't been set at pg for years.  Something ivey can do, I see a little Allen iverson in ivey.  Couldn't just be that as the salaries need to matchup so either a third team or a package around Randle and around that pick would be my guess if they could pull it off.

I'm sorry if there's another forum post about this topic. I couldn't find anything about this news, so I'm posting it here.
Elon Musk is about to get sued for alleged Dogecoin pyramid scheme. We all knew that his Dogecoin shilling will come back and bite him in the a$$. Grin
Is dogecoin a pyramid scheme? Is this a rhetorical question? Grin Any doge supporters here?

https://www.reuters.com/legal/transactional/elon-musk-sued-258-billion-over-alleged-dogecoin-pyramid-scheme-2022-06-16/

It's not a pyramid scheme but last year it definitely acted like it.  No reason for that run up and now people are paying the price.  Didn't help that you have someone like elon who has nothing to lose pumping the coin with his dumb tweets.  Getting sued though is rediculous.  People don't take financial responsibility when they make dumb moves.  Own it.

Long time lurker. With the massive downturn in price, I'm looking to move some ASICs and GPUs online. Got an offer in my email from ebay offering 50% off fees for selling GPUs above $500. Does anyone here have experience selling GPUs on ebay who could get some advice? Best practices to protect myself?

Sold 1 gpu brand new in box on eBay.  Got a return 5.5 months later all dusty with the buyer saying it didn't work and then eBay hit me for the price I sold it for.  Ebay tends to side with the buyers.  Good luck but I'd rather take less on here than gamble with ebay.  To each their own, I know some people have had good success on there.

In this market?  Are you crazy or do you just not understand crypto markets?  Nothing is going to go up in the near teams.  Down the road yea maybe but all depends on how this market plays out.

So exciting time this week as we get to the draft.  Lots of trades with personel moving and top draft picks getting their teams.  

As a knick fan, dream scenario is moving Julius Randle to try and get the 4th pick.  They need ivey so bad on that roster.  And let obi get some playing time to see if he can make the leap.

Not expecting much but there is always hope.

What is everyone else hoping for in the draft for your favorite teams?
2671  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season - Finals on: June 20, 2022, 02:32:51 PM
As the Lakers rumors start to heat up, the latest nonsense is that they're going to do a sign and trade to acquire Bradley Beal.  I don't know how on earth they could pull this off with the salary cap and saying they're going to keep Russell Westbrook, but for some reason they seem to think it's a possibility.  Personally I think they should be targeting Demar Derozan, but he actually wants to be a Laker so maybe they figure they'll be able to get him down the road or something...  Funny to see crazy rumors already about the Lakers.

There's no doubt that the Lakers will have a lot of roster changes this offseason. However, I guess they won't sign DeRozan since he usually plays the same position as LeBron. I just doubt that DeRozan and Lebron could share playing time on the court with each other. As for Westbrook, the Lakers management would be making a big mistake if they decide to keep him next season.

First off why would the bulls look to move derozen, and second it would take a lot to get demar so I can't see a win win situation here with the derozen to the Lakers.  Just seems like a non starter.
2672  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Trading Volume an important metric ? on: June 18, 2022, 04:19:34 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 ?

If there is NO volume it shows no interest in the project.  You could have a coin with a high price but no movement in volume you can probably expect a drop in price.  I think volume is a key factor when looking for trade opportunities.

When is a good time to start buying altcoins? Is bitcoin ever going to 25,000$ in the coming weeks? How do you plan to start building your portfolio for the next bull market? Is now a good time to start buying?.

I wouldn't touch alts until things go sideways for a couple months.  The market has been in a freefall since November why would you want to buy alts right now only to watch them continue to fall.  A new bull market isn't anywhere near us.  Bitcoin at 19k right now is the time I'd start slowly buying back in.  And dca as it goes down
2674  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: June 18, 2022, 04:15:14 PM
^^ I think it will back fire on Crawford if this fight will break down just because he wants more or at least 50/50. He is a good fighter no doubt, but his PPV numbers are not that good compare to Spence and he should accept that fact.

So we can say that Spence is the A-sde and could be dictating the terms. But that should be fine with Crawford. What is foremost is that this fight is going to be made without any manager excuses on the side of Crawford. Because that has been the sticking point ever since, Bob Arum doesn't want to deal or wont allow Crawford face a PBC fighter. That is eliminate since he is managing his own career now.

Spence has nothing to lose if Crawford will choose not to make this fight happen, both are still undefeated but based on the number of belts, Spence has an edge and most of his opponents are quality opponents compared to Crawford. He should not be greedy here, be smart and take the chance even if he only gets 40% of the total purse or revenue.

Spence won't ever be considered the best if he doesn't fight Crawford.  This fight needs to go off for both fighters, otherwise there will always be an asterisk next to theor name and belts.  Imo Spence shoukd consider himself lucky if this fight doesn't come together.  He doesn't want any part of crawford
2675  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season - Finals on: June 18, 2022, 03:29:42 PM
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.



They aren't trading Wiggins, if the Warriors are worried about the luxury tax I think winning the championship trumps that.  Over the course of the last coue years the Warriors franchise has to be worth 1Billion+ more than it was 10 years ago.  Why would you break up this team just for cap reasons.  Every team waits to get a squad built like this.  And next year they get Wiseman back.
2676  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it better to have 5, 12 or even more coins? on: June 17, 2022, 10:39:13 PM
Lets say you had to spend 12.000 USD,

would you go for option 1 or option 2?

option 1: 2.400 USD each coin = 12.000 USD total

Ethereum
Avalanche (AVAX)
Polygon (MATIC)
Chiliz (CHZ)
Enjin (ENJ)


option 2: 1.000 USD each coin = 12.000 USD total

Ethereum (ETH)
Solana (SOL)
Avalanche (AVAX)
Shiba Inu (SHIBA)
Polygon (MATIC)
Cosmos (ATOM)
Decentraland (MANA)
The Sandbox (SAND)
Gala (GALA)
Chiliz (CHZ)
Enjin (ENJ)
Keep network (KEEP)


Neither none of them contain bitcoin.  You need to start with bitcoin and trickle down from there.  But if you ever are top heavy in alts noatter the coin, you are bound to get wiped out one way or another.  Too many people have to learn the hard way.  Don't be one of them.

And there it is, steph and his first nba finals mvp.  4th in what like 8 years for golden state.  This one verifies dynasty status.  Made some decent money laying on the Warriors.  Outside of the Memphis games I think they cleaned up against the spread.
2678  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum Will Not Devalue To Zero on: June 16, 2022, 10:50:03 PM
With all the recent FUD being created against ETH. I am in conclusion that ETH will not dissolve down to zero value ever.
As it has been around for some time and has survived many times over when other crypto projects have come and gone.

Sure with the forking coming up, there will be some change. However ETH will always have a value/ just right now the price is down, but it only means good time to buy in and get more.

What are your thoughts on this?

Do you think ETH Will be around for a long time? or do you think it will go down to zero ?

Tell me your thoughts and why?

I mean I don't think so but never say never in crypto lol.  If somehow it gets exploited or something comes over the top that is progressively better than it can get wiped out.  But that's any market ever.  Did anyone ever think theor money with Bernie madoff would ever go to zero?  Enron? Same here.
2679  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Luna 2.0 keeps falling on: June 16, 2022, 10:48:26 PM



Can you see Luna 2.0, the price was above $19 when the coin was forked from Lunc, it decreased to around $3.4 when bitcoin was below $30000, bitcoin increased to around $32400 and Luna increased to $12. Bitcoin at $31000 now but Luna at $3.9. if bitcoin decreased to like $27000, this will significantly affect Luna price. This coin is not worth holding during this time until if bear market has ended. If you buy this coin, know that you are gambling.

Lol why in the world would anyone want to touch this coin is beyond me.  It's like people enjoy burning theor money.  Why wouldn't you just put your money into bitcoin than throwing it at this hot garbage and crossing your fingers it works out.  Is greed that big??
2680  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your NBA Champion this season? on: June 16, 2022, 10:46:36 PM
Anyway, back to the topic, the Warriors should do everything to claim the championship title in Game 6 later. It will be sure as a tough job because the Celtics are also not moving an inch back to have the Warriors their way, so ofcourse they will also do everything and utilize what they're known for to have a Game 7.

I'm hoping for another way around. I want the series to extend to Game 7.

Good to see the Finals will end in the final series for much better entertainment for us viewers. Golden State Warriors might finish the series tonight but the Boston Celtics obviously don't want to end their chances for the champion too. Bookies heavily favored the Boston Celtics tonight to win the game.

Not a basis that they will win tonight but it means bookies see something for the Celtics why they shouldn't be considered as an underdog tonight.

Bostin Celtics will win in Game 6 but the Golden State Warriors will end it on Game 7. Smiley

Me too.  Ultimately as a knick fan nothing worse I can see than Boston winning the chip again, but I want to see a game 7.  Everything on the floor, 1 game to decide all.  4 quarters of greatness.  Cmon celts make it happen!
