Jazz - Cavs trade came out of nowhere. It's just one of those instances where speculations in traditional and social media becomes just noise hehe.

It may not be that ideal since Mitchell still has many years ahead of him but this also gives Jazz management a lot of wiggle room. They can still use those future draft picks as trading piece or maybe they plan to use it for themselves because they already have some prospects for the next three years. It would be nice if they could emulate what Warriors did.
That's why I don't buy those rumors that are spreading in the social media because behind those rumors are teams that are secretly doing some trade talks with other teams.

I'm surprised with this trade and for sure there are some who are surprised as well because many are thinking that the Knicks are the frontrunners in getting Mitchell but it seems like the Cavaliers have the pieces to get Mitchell. Now the Jazz have 13 draft round picks so maybe we can assume that they are in a rebuilding phase since they already trade their 2 all-star in Gobert and Mitchell.

The Cavaliers' starting lineup looks good. Mitchell, Garland, Okoru (since they traded Markannen already), Mobley and Allen. With their good performance last season, I think they can clinch the playoffs since they didn't trade their core players and Sexton had an injury when the Cavaliers did pretty well last season. I think the Cavaliers won this trade.

the account is proven plagiarism. it's against forum rules.

what do you mean by sincere work?

if the account that your friend uses is only for bounty reports, you don't have to bother to recover it. no one will notice it.
Now what will he do? He can't available to post for bounty reports.
Cry all day? Play to all of the Gods out there for his account to get recovered? Run all around and ask for help?
Do whatever he wants to do but in the end, there will be one outcome and that account will not get unbanned anymore.

Just focus on your real life instead of pleading for help here. Your friend made a mistake and that is punishable by ban. Say to your friend to find another work and don't focus your time in bounty reports. Even you are starting to post Proof of Authentication already so typical bounty hunters again. Just move on and say what we are saying to your friend.

We've got some rumors about Carmelo Anthony. He's likely to go with the Boston Celtics. He's a potential signee for them.

I thought he will go to the Knicks, not sure how he will fit in Boston though, probably what he has given to the Lakers, off the bench and then maybe had a good shooting night, 20+ ppg in he stay with them throughout the season. And it's good to see still play and the Celtics need a veteran like him in the bench.
Melo to Warriors!!!!!

There was some rumors about this right? So I will push with Melo to Warriors Cheesy. Kidding aside, with Gallinari getting injured, adding Melo might be a big help in the bench and he is a veteran as well. Putting him a bunch of young and talented players might help the whole team so I guess adding Melo is a good addition. Hoping for Gallinari to recover and still play for the Boston so that Melo will go to the Warriors Tongue.

Hindi talaga makachamba sa event. Tumal, puro Noirsoul, Dragon Ticket, at Leather Ticket. Ayaw magbigay ng maganda ganda sana.

Haha ang dami ko na ring rare noirsoul. Tapos iyong mga ticket sobrang tumal naman. Parang binabaan pa nga yata ang chance na magka epic sa mga ticket na yan dahil sa ngayon, namimigay sila ng sandamakmak na ticket. Pandagdag na lang sa promise points ang purpose eh.

Pero sa alt account ko malaking tulong iyong free noirsoul. Di gaya nung panahon na iyong main ko pa ang may kailangan nyan talagang tumal.

Higit sa lahat, mas maganda kung magka epic accessories na ako dyan sa event na yan hehe. Tumal sa epic horn eh pero may mga materials na ako.
Dapat ang nakalagay dun hindi "Uncommon to Legendary Items" kundi "Uncommon to Rare Items" lang Cheesy.
Kidding aside, malaking tulong ung mga items na un sa progress pa rin lalo na ung mga tickets. Kapag MS tickets nakuha mo, malaking tulong na un dahil hinding hindi ka magkakamali dun dahil easy XP na un.

Ang pinakamagandang nakuha ko pa lang dun ay ung Epic Dragon Statue though maganda naman silang lahat sa para sa akin at ayoko na lang ding umasa sa epic accesories dahil tsambahan lang din un. Ung alt ko busog na busog dahil sa event tapos sinamahan pa ng Victory Drums dahil malapit na ulit ang Castle Siege.

Matanong ko pala. Kapag pumasok ka na ba ng merge server hindi ka na makakabalik sa original server mo? Or, magbabayad ka ng fees like expedition or travel pass para bumalik?
Parang naguguluhan ako. May mga taga server daw kasi namin na nasa top ngayon sa merged server eh, wala naman akong makuhang dagdag information pa.
di ko alam eh, pero parang pangit ata if hindi na pwede umalis sa mga na merged na server pag pumunta ka dun kasi unit unti dadami yung players at magiging sobrang siksikan lalo na pag nag request ng back up sa ibang server yung mga guild na nandun.
So malamang nga ang sistema ay gagamit ka rin ng travel pass kung gusto mo na umalis don. Wala pa naman ako balitang bumalik yung ka-clan namin. Ang huli kong sagap ng impormasyon ay hindi pa daw masikip doon kaso nga pag kaunti din daw medyo boring. Parang naging pwestuhan lang ng mga nagpapalevel. Na sa tingin ko yun pa lang talaga ang purpose sa ngayon. Baka in the future may mga balak sila gawin diyan, like warzone for events instead na lumilipat talaga sa ibang server at dun naninirahan nakikipagwar.
Di ko alam kung tama ako pero ung 2 na old server ay mawawala na.
Ganito ang pagkakaalam ko. For example ung server 1 at server 2 ay magmemerge papunta sa server 3, ung server 1 at server 2 ay mawawala na since pumunta na lahat sa server 3. Ginawa nila ang server merging dahil may mga servers na wala nang nangyayari or wala nang labanan na nagaganap.

This is the viral meme regarding Vitalik right now. I don't know if it's appropriate to post it here (if not I will delete it in a few hours), but I just shared it.


We are getting close to the event, the ETH Merge, many are seeing this as an opportunity to go all in and take advantage of a possible pump, like the one we recently saw with Vitalik memes, on the other hand, there are degens willing to play safe, which side are you on and why?.
Whatever the reason is, don't ever, ever, ever go all in in one coin unless it is for a short time only.

Many are hoping that there will be a short pump because of the ETH merge. Well, it might pump but there is a chance that it will remain stagnant or worse it might go even lower. It will depend on the sentiment of the people and how they will react to the update. We've seen numerous updates regarding Ethereum in the past, but those updates didn't make the price of Ethereum go up.

As for me, I will keep accumulating Ethereum not because of the hype and the merge because I believe in the coin itself. I'm buying it for long term purpose and not for short term only so between those 2 options that you shared, I'm neither one of them.

If AD avoids any major injury this season, I believe the Lakers could successfully run this roster again next season.

That's right, actually even if Westbrook were struggling last season but as long as AD were healthy, most likely Lakers will still have a shot in the NBA finals. With Lebron and AD leading the team, we've seen that before already when they won a championship.

Next season is going to be the last chance of this tamdem I believe, if they will still fail, most likely a trade is gonna happen.
The question right now is what are the chances that AD will not get injured? Because after the title that he got in the Bubble, he has been very inconsistent and unreliable because of injuries. He's very fragile that you can't rely on him. I'll just hope for him to be healthy all throughout the season and in the playoffs but will not be surprised if he will get injured because it is what is happening to him for the last 2 seasons.

The chances of the Lakers winning a title will be higher if AD will not get injured and Westbrook will improve and adjust. I believe that Lebron can still win a title with the Lakers. Just give him good teammates that will help him. I agree that this upcoming season will be the last chance not only for AD but also for Westbrook and if they still fail then they will be traded.

CJ Perez seems not on his usual playing level. Maybe because after all his effort he's not named as Best Player of the Conference. Just kidding. Cheesy I also thought that TNT will now start to struggle after Jayson Castro was sidelined because of an injury that I hoped it's a minor.
The defense of the TNT is just good that's why they manage to lower the scoring of Perez. Let's take note that Perez and Manuel are the ones who carried the team in Game 2 but in the next 3 games, they aren't that efficient anymore.

On the other hand, the 2 Williams just exploded in Game 5 and it's a bit disappointing that SMB had what they called "Sorry Misses" meaning they have easy and open shots on the paint but can't make them.

Now the momentum has shifted, and TNT now has the lead. Having Coach Chot back really helped the team and even though they don't have Castro in the 4th quarter, players like MGR, Montalbo and Kelly Williams stepped up offensively and defensively. Just a one win more for them but I don't think that the SMB will just let them lose 3 straight and will force a Game 7.

Aside from the fact that Indonesia defeated the Gilas in the SEA Games, let's also add that Japan ended the 12 year drought against us. They didn't defeat the PH for more than a decade and it ended in their last game when the PH lost. Who is the coach? Coach Chot. I just don't know why the SBP still keeping him even though Coach Chot already rendered a resignation letter to them already. Well, I just hope that a miracle will happen in the World Cup and we will have a different coach at that time. We still have a year to go to decide which coach will replace or worst, he might not get replaced.

SBP does want to piss the fans, in that game, people are booing chat, I hope they already see that as a sign that we don't want him coaching our strong roster. I mean, if we ever reach in the world cup, we need a level-up coach, not someone who are always criticized by the fans.

I miss the old Gilas, the Romeo and Castro lineup, they are well coached.

LOL, why would they do that?

Maybe they cannot afford to pay a foreign coach, so they stick with Chot Reyes to coach the team. I think if that's the reason, then maybe at least hire the coach of Ginebra San Miguel, I believe he is way better than coach Chot Reyes, that's my personal opinion only.
We actually don’t know what’s happening with them and why they are still focused to Chot Reyes, maybe it left them with no choice and beside, Chot Reyes is still good in other ways, maybe that’s the thing they saw to Reyes. Well, whoever the coach is as long as we have those good players I believe we can still deliver, they just need a good chemistry and a good playing system, that can be discussed with the other staff. Let’s continue to support Gilas and give them the respected they deserve, they have more games to come too early to celebrate.
I don't think that they have no choice to find another coach, but the connections I think is the reason why they don't want him to resign. You know it already. You feel strong if you have connections.

I want Coach Chot to be replaced and others as well including Snow Badua but I think he can still do his job as a coach. He got a very good Gilas roster already. What they need now is time to train (at least 2-3 months or better if more). I saw a Facebook post hours ago and he said, "It doesn't matter if you have all-star players or not. If you don't have time to train for the upcoming World Cup, then it will affect the whole team." With this, I still believe that Coach Chot can at least do his job and what they only need is time. Overall, whatever it is, I agree that let's just support the Gilas team.

Sana nga ganun ang mangyari sabayan nila ung hype at mag engage ulit sila ng mga bagong investors na susugal sa mga gagawin nila, magiging pabor yun sa mga may mga hawak pang SLP pag muling lumuntag pataas ang value ng SLP makakabawi yung mga naipit at mga nalugi sa kasalukuyan kung maantay nila ung panibagong bugso. Sana nga lang may ganun mangyari sa ngayon kasi puro sana lang ang magagawa ng mga holders at mga players ng Axie.
Ganun nalang pwede natin gawin ngayon sa axie ehhhh. Tuloy tuloy pa naman sila sa development so may pag asa pa naman compared naman sa karamihan ng play to earn games ngayon na natigil na talaga ng tuluyan or pinili nalang na mang scam sila ng mga investors nila. According naman sa plans ng skymavis ehh gagawa sila ng maraming burning mechanism and kita naman natin sa crafting ngayon na ilang milyon na yung na burn which is ok na kesa puro minting lang compared before. Kakatingin ko lang ng minting vs burning ng SLP and I think it's good enough na malapit na yung burning amount sa minting amount ng slp. 
In case lang na hindi nyo alam kung saan pwede tignan ang SLP Burn Vs. SLP Minted, ito ung website:
https://www.axieworld.com/en/economics/charts?chart=slpIssuance

Kumpara sa noong V2 pa lang, sobrang laki ng improvement ng burned vs. minted. Nakikita natin noon na ang minted SLP ay x10 sa burned SLP kaya dumami ang total supply. Ngayong naintroduce na ang new burning mechanism, nagkakalapit na ang burn vs. minted at merong ding instances na mas marami pa ung burned kaysa sa minted na kung saan ay isang mabuting bagay. Wala pa rito ung proposed na another burning mechanism noon na cosmetics at ung mga dagdag na burning mechanism galing sa iba nilang laro galing sa Builder's program nila.

Overall, para sa akin maganda ang simula ng Origin kasi gumanda na ang burned vs. minted pero di ibig sabihin nun ay tataas na ulit ang SLP at ang price ng axies dahil nasa bear market pa rin tayo. Good Luck sa ating mga naglalaro pa rin ng Axie at sana makaabot tayo sa top 20,000 para mabawi manlang ung SLP na naburn kakacraft Smiley.

I guess the Knicks might not be interested on a Mitchell acquisition, they've already finalizing RJ Barrett four-year rookie extension that could be worth up to $120 million. So that's huge amount of money and not sure if they can still afford Mitchell then.

So probably the Jazz will have to shop around again and see what will be their options for Mitchell. Maybe some other teams are still interested on him, money wise + future trade picks.
I wonder which teams are interested in Mitchell's service. They've traded Gobert already and Coach Snyder has been fired (which is expected I guess). Maybe they are trying to trade Mitchell because the Jazz will undergo a rebuilding process.

Now with Barrett signing with the Knicks, they aren't interested in Mitchell anymore (maybe). I just hope that the trio of Randle, Brunson and Barrett will work out though I still don't consider them as a playoff contender.

I agree, let's say we give Westbrook a chance this season, if he improve under coach Ham then good for the Lakers. If not, then for sure in the middle of the season we might see him get traded. And there are rumors that Ham wanted Pat and Russ play at the same time. So it will be an interesting combination to see them both in the floor. Two high octane players, gonna be fun.

Latest I see in the trade is that free agent Markieff Morris has agreed with the Nets,  it's a one year deal so for good him.
I'm a bit curious on how Pat and Russ will be good teammates because of what happened to them in the past but maybe now is the time to move on and be good teammates like what Coach Ham wants.

With regards to Westbrook improving this season, there might be a chance since they already have a new coach so maybe we will see a different playstyle that fits to the whole Lakers roster. He isn't prone to injury as well which is a good thing, and he is athletic so if he will back to the old Westbrook that we know or at least near to that then it will be a huge boost for the Lakers but if he will still play like last season then just trade him. Giving him a chance might be a good option and good gamble for the Lakers.
2792  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How will you handle this case on: August 31, 2022, 02:04:21 AM
I don't know how to handle this case, I have two junior brothers in my small town who lives opposite to my house, one help the other to create a trust wallet and 100$ worth of Ethereum was deposited into the wallet, two days later the fund was moved out to am unknown address, after asking few questions from the wallet owner I found out that the other guy has access to the wallet too, I believe he did the dirty trick because he never warned the wallet owner to never share his recovery seed with anyone..if you are in my shoe what will you do..
Just a quick google search and watching Youtube videos, you will already learn how to make a trust wallet. Why find another person to do it?

Now with regards to the transaction, you can easily say that the other person did it because only 2 people knows the seed phrase right? What if the wallet owner managed to share it to other people because of his carelessness and ignorance? What if there is a neighbor around you that also knows about trust wallet and stole the money? I mean it's very easy to blame people but to prove it is what's hard to do.

Anyway, it's either they will just forget about it, or they will just argue with it for a long time. 100$ is a huge money especially if you're in a 3rd world country but if it will cost the friendship of the 2 brothers then it isn't worth it. Just let them forget about it and let the owner make another trust wallet "now by himself" or maybe you can just give them the 100$. Cheesy
2793  Economy / Economics / Re: Savings during inflation on: August 30, 2022, 06:16:02 AM
CONCLUSION
During inflation,
👉👉always purchase all you need on time without delay to avoid rapid increase of such commodity.

👉👉Unnecessary saving should be avoided. Savings should only be made from excess income which one doesn't need at that moment.

Lastly, investing is highly preferable to savings.
I don't want to put much money into banks and I only put there my emergency funds. Most of our salary goes to expenses and to investments. That's the best thing to do.

Why save unnecessary money if you have the opportunity to invest it into different assets? That's the problem for most of the people right now. It is easier to invest right now than the past but it seems that people prefer to just save money into banks because they believe that it will grow there but it's the opposite.
2794  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 30, 2022, 05:44:15 AM
I'm just curious if there will be no conflict with the schedule of JC to his announcement that he'll play in Fiba WC 2023. I'm not aware of their scheduling and with the WC.

But as he said and confirming that, I guess that there's no problem to his schedule then. Good luck to him and his team.
In the next window of FIBA, for sure JC will not play in Gilas because NBA starts at September and the next window will be in November. Conflict of schedule.

With regards to the World Cup, it will start on August-September and at that time, it will be the off-season in the NBA so I think there will be no conflict of schedule and he already said in an interview that he will play so... yeah let's just expect him to play.

It looks like the Lakers have decided to stop trying to find a good trade for Russell Westbrook and they're now willing to do whatever they can to get rid of his contract.  No idea who they'd potentially try to sign with the savings, but it seems like they're ready to do what they have to do to get him off their roster.  The latest is that they're trying to piggyback on any trade to include Russell's contract and to incentivize teams to take that contract they're offering both their first round pics in 2027 and 2029.  What a mistake that Westbrook signing was...
Well, trading in NBA has a bit of a gamble as well so I guess the Lakers gambled at that time and TBH, many surprised with that move by the Lakers management. Trading Westbrook to so many key players like Kuzma, KCP, Harrell.

I guess they already know that Westbrook isn't a good fit for AD-Lebron duo so they will just find another player/s that will might be a perfect addition to the current roster. If I will pick, I hope that they will get some shooters and defenders like Beverley which they already got. I'm seeing that the Jazz might be interested in getting Westbrook but still let's wait for the final moves of both teams and I'm thinking as well that the Jazz might be the only option but aside from them, there are no other teams interested with him anymore.

right now i’m in debt for $6k but i want to keep DCA. should i focus more on pay my debt down or investing?

Pay your debt first. That must be your first priority. Is it a good debt or a bad debt?

Debt will make you stressed and then there will be a time that you will be depressed if that debt keeps increasing because of compounding interest. Forget DCA first and focus on paying your debt. After that, focus on doing DCA.

In that way, that would be better for you. Your main problem will be solved (debt problem) and at the same time, you will manage to do DCA without thinking of paying your debt anymore. I've seen people here in my place that can't invest their money because all of their salary goes out to pay their debt and the cycles keeps going which is very unfortunate.

A 2-2 series will be more entertaining than a 3-1 series so I'm not surprised with the outcome in Game 4.
I mean at the start, you can feel the aggression of the TNT already and with Coach Chot coming back, their morale has boosted even more. If Playoff Ross is the hero of Game 3, it's Playoff Blur in Game 4. 26 points in 31 minutes and he is off the bench. When you need a player to step up when needed, Castro is the one that they will go.
Castro took over that game because he know he cannot rely on his young teammates especially Williams who's production was very low in this series. I also like to commend the performance of Kelly "the machine gun"Williams because he played so hard, he doesn't look old against Fajardo although it's very evident who is the dominant player, but at least he played better compared to the young bigs of the TNT.
I'm thinking of a different reason into why Castro chose to took over the game.
He sees Williams hasn't been the Williams that they know who always shots and scores 20 points because the Beermen knew already what they will do to him to shut him down and they need somebody to step up offensively and that's why Castro took over. Pogoy was a given already but they need a second scorer that will help the team offensively.

With regards to Kelly Williams, let's take note that he already retired but Coach Chot said to come out of it and play again under him and he didn't hesitate and now he is performing a big role to his team. If you watched the whole series, you will see that Kelly and JMF are always coming in and out at the same time (maybe there was some times where it didn't happen). That's because the primary objective of Kelly is to at least lessen the efficiency of JMF. It doesn't happen all the time as JMF is still dominant but still there are times where Williams is playing very good against him and we've seen it in Game 4 or maybe Fajardo can still feel the fatigue because he played many minutes in Game 3. Anyway, commend to him as well Smiley.

His play is not effective in international tournament anymore.

As most basketball enthusiast says, Coach Chot's system is only effective in PBA and not in the international league anymore.

Defeating KSA last night won't change the fact that we are struggling in top countries.

Being defeated by Indonesia in the South East Asian Games is already a big reason and enough for Coach Chot to consider stepping down even if SBP will ask him to continue his job as a head coach for Gilas. Enough of these learning experiences.
We will agree that the PH are heavily favored on that game right so I think it wasn't that significant. Maybe seeing our president watching is more significant than the win Cheesy. JK.

Aside from the fact that Indonesia defeated the Gilas in the SEA Games, let's also add that Japan ended the 12 year drought against us. They didn't defeat the PH for more than a decade and it ended in their last game when the PH lost. Who is the coach? Coach Chot.

..... but I'm sure it will not be -3.5 TNT, maybe SMB will be the favorite next game.

For sure, otherwise, takers of SMB would be so happy betting on the Moneyline. I think the spread will be -1.5 for SMB just like in game 1. All I know is that the series has been so entertaining so far, so whoever wins game 5 is not a sure winner in the series.
-1.5 for SMB are more likely to be the odds, despite of theis loss they are still the favorite team here and for sure they will bounce back. Yes, this series is more entertaining, a different company fighting to get the championship never fails to entertain. But now the focus of many is still with the Gilas, it's good to have the lead against Saudi which should be the game ball or else, many will be mad again at the coaching staff of Gilas, I just don't like the boos of the viewers, they lose their respect.
A 2-2 series will be more entertaining than a 3-1 series so I'm not surprised with the outcome in Game 4.

When you need a player to step up when needed, Castro is the one that they will go.

Just minutes from now, the Gilas won by a huge margin against the Saudi Arabia 84-46.
The Gilas had a sluggish first quarter and the quarter almost ended with a score of 14-8 but that halftime buzzer beater of Clarkson ignited the whole team as well as the whole 19,000+ crowd and from that, they started to take the lead and never looked back.

Clarkson ended with 23 points, Sotto with a 16 point double-double and Ramos with 9 points. Next games of Gilas will be in the 10th and 13th of November against Jordan and Saudi Arabia respectively.

Here's an article that talks a little bit about why picking up Patrick Beverly makes it very likely that Russell Westbrook will be out the door sooner than later.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/the-lakers-acquiring-patrick-beverley-makes-it-more-likely-that-russell-westbrook-will-be-traded-or-sent-home-says-team-insider/ar-AA1175Za?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=cbb820dfa584252781ee54cfb0f5ef9d

I was surprised to see in the article that they're predicting Westbrook will be moved by the start of training camp.  That's right around the corner.  If that's true, we could see an announcement as early as the end of next week that Russell Westbrook has been traded for Buddy Hield.
If that's the case then I think it will be a win-win situation for the Lakers.

They acquired a good defender and a decent 3-point shooter in Beverley and now they are trading Westbrook which obviously doesn't fit for the team to another shooter again in Hield. Well, I will wait till next week with the announcement regarding Lakers and Westbrook. For sure this will be another drama again but TBH, many including me will not be surprised if this trade will push through since many already are saying to Westbrook that he must be traded because of how awful he played last season.

How should i diversify my crypto portfolio?

I feel like im gambling by going all in one crypto like ETH and the drops are hitting me very hard with its high volatility compared to BTC
It's an altcoin so no surprise that it's more volatile than Bitcoin.
You said that you gambled in ETH. You must be ready with the huge drops and at the same time, be ready if there is a huge price spike up.

How should you diversify your portfolio? What will I said will be just my preference and I know that others have different strategies in how they are diversifying their money.
50% BTC
30% ETH
10% other top 10 coins
5% top 50 coins
5% meme coins or more risky coins that you want to gamble your money with.

Like I said, that is my preference and others are doing differently. BTC and ETH are the ones with most allocations because they have been there all the time. They are at the top 2 spots in market cap for a long time and whether it is a bear market or a bull market, they stayed at the top so I think investing in both of them is a good choice. You can copy mine or others depending on the amount of money that you are willing to invest.

Gambling is gambling. Trading is trading. You might connect each other in some scenarios but they are completely different. What makes them the same though is you can both win and lose.

Trading can be considered gambling if only you don't know what you are doing. Professional traders tend to win more and loss less. Newbie traders are a complete opposite. In gambling, a professional gambler can still lose more and win less especially if he isn't lucky and newbie gamblers? Well they lose all of their money sometimes in an instant. I don't consider trading another form of gambling for me because in gambling, you need luck while in trading, you need experience and strategies in order to gain profits.
