Everyone, aren't you hype with this news or did you already see the good news about having an Esports City in Saudi Arabia?


It's gonna be a worth $500M city for building this place. That's a lot of money for the Saudi Arabia to build this but I think that the crowned prince has got the influence on why this has made. If anyone still haven't seen it yet, the prince has always been trending when there's the battle pass for Dota 2.

That is a big thing for esports. The Riyadh Masters already have a huge prize pool, imagine how much more it will get if there is already a dedicated Esports City in Saudi Arabia. It has the potential to be even bigger than the biggest prize pool in TI. It will push Esports to even greater heights. Hopefully, it will become a success because it will cater to a lot of Esports events if that comes to reality.

Even s1mple can't be very consistent regularly these days. This isn't the NaVi team we have known.

He is just human, and he can be inconsistent. And maybe, he is already on the decline in his skills. He has been the top CSGO player for quite some time now, and the fatigue of playing the game must have caught up with him. Younger players have caught up with him and new players are getting better and better.

Did you guys see the OKTAGON 44 fight between Rafael Xavier VS Mateusz Strzelczyk, it was gut-wrenching to watch that fight, the fight was stopped because of a KO/TKO broken leg, a literally broken fractured leg, Rafael Xavier delivers a leg kick but I think Mateusz Strzelczyk Bones was already soft that when kicked by Rafael Xavier it was dislocated it was a loud snap and after Rafael Xavier seen the dislocated leg he immediately hold his head in shocked, here is the video from ScottishProblem Please watch with caution because the following video may contain Gruesome leg snap,



It gives chills to my body just watching it, and it was really gruesome, it seems Mateusz Strzelczyk was just desperately standing so when Rafael Xavier kick Mateusz Strzelczyk near the legs, and when Mateusz Strzelczyk stand his leg snapped really gruesome at the same time very feel sorry about what happened he didn't deserve such lost and he doesn't like that to happen but it really happens I just wish Mateusz Strzelczyk the best and that he will be well and fast recovery to him because that is a hard injury that fighters get hard to come back at, sometimes even if they manage to return they will never become 100% anymore, just like what happened to Anderson Silva,


^  You feel the pain just watching this kind of incident. And sometimes cracking sound resides in your mind for a long time. I still can see and picture Silva and Conor's in my head.

Is Jones paid by PFL to appear face-to-face with Francis? I hope Dana will take it lightly because he'll see by now that he couldn't control everyone. This is still gauging whether fans will still be willing to pay for tickets to their fight. But most probably Francis will fight Wilder first in boxing. I heard they are in discussing all these.

Aw! I remember again the leg snaps of Anderson Silva and Conor McGregor don't forget Chris Weidman in his fight with Uriah Hall, Corey Hill his fight with Dale Hartt, and I think Tom Aspinall against Curtis Blaydes for this kind of gruesome thing to happen I think the fighter that winning this kind of win some don't really feel like winning and feel more of a loss because they can also feel the agony in such injury and I think Uriah Hall interview has said something great about Chris Weidman and man the thing that he has said he was really broken about what happened, and also Curtis Blayes on Tom Aspinall where they also share a beer when Blayes visit Aspinall about his knee, the only one that was half happy about when his opponent broke his legs was Duston Poirier I am saying half happy because he still saying for Conor to be safe going home to his family while McGregor is talking some shit about him,

Yes, and so it also put weight on what Bivol's manager is also saying that's why they didn't accept what the offer by the Canelo's camp. And it looks like they are low balling everyone now and see who is going to bite on their offers.

So it's good that Bivol and Badou stand their grounds and not let Canelo win the psychological battle about the weights and rehydration clause and specially what should be the split between them. And I do agree that maybe they know that Canelo has a couple of fights left so why not just fight for the money as he already cemented his legacy.

A lot of experts are saying that Rehydration Clause is really too much for the body to take and sometimes it will cause brain damage to the boxer and they are not really recommending it, well it is a good stand for Bivol and Badou to not go into Canelo Alvarez terms and I think they all seen the effect of it on Ryan Garcia after his fight with Gervonta Tank Davis, it surely hurt Garcia in a sense he can not take Tank Davis punches and the damage is too much for him, I guess if Canelo Alvarez doesn't really want a fair fight he should have a fight anybody where it was easy for him, I think he is near his retirement for sure,


This will not be far from what happened with Ryan Garcia. A rehydration clause is not an easy task. Imagine just staying thirsty before the fight, it's not just the body that will have a problem but also mentally it could affect him.
A big disadvantage for the Badou Jack's camp if they will agree with this, almost like suicide.  Grin What kind of punches would The Ripper let go? It will not even affect Canelo in that situation.

David Benavidez. Why not? Is the Canelo camp trying to avoid him? I mean, I have seen him challenging the champ for a long time now and there's still no answer yet. I heard there's a chance Canelo will be stripped of his title if he won't fight Benavidez this time. Just take it, it's good money and I bet the pay-per-view amount will be loads of money too.

For me, I think just letting Canelo do his thing and ignoring him, is a better thing to do than going with his Rehydration Clause is just suicide, and yes Badou Jack can not take that kind of thing he might get brain damage because of it, and expert is saying that there should not be Rehydration Clause, or don't accept something like it, Ryan Garcia is just lucky for not having any problems at all or what so ever but I think he now feels the effect of it in his body and I think this might be why he change his trainer for letting him accepting this suicidal fight, against Gervonta Davis,

Ferrari having a better than Mercedes is definitely not what most of us would have assumed, right guys? I don't want to build up too much hope anymore for Leclerc but it's really good to see him making better positions now, and 4/5 finish is actually to me preferable to only 1 car podium and other out of top 10.

Well, for me I am not really hoping for Ferrari to be on Podium actually I think I have more faith in Mercedes making it to the podium more often than Ferrari, the problem with Ferrari was not really the Machines but the lack of driver experience, consistent in making mistake within the race was Ferrari's failure, I think Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc needs more time to be on a level that they can attain a podium more often in every race, but me I am seeing Mercedes and Aston Martin having a chance to take the crown from Verstappen,


I guess so. But I still wish someone would have stepped in for me and told me earlier to help me see what I was doing to myself. Someone eventually did and I'm so glad, because maybe today I would still be doing it if that person didn't intervene. I got back so much after leaving it all in the past few years, my work is so much better, my health, my family etc. I'm enjoying life much more. I never say it's bad for anyone, don't think I ever said "waste of life". I always gave my thoughts based on myself and what it did to me Smiley I do agree that people shoudl do whatever they enjoy. But if you do see them not enjoying other aspects of life because of one major thing sucking out the enjoyment from other things, I think a real friend would step in and just check.

By the way to tell you, great win on the pool!!

For me, a true friend will always step in for you and would always say that a thing you are doing is bad, and he will not want you to get hurt, for me that friend of yours needs to be cherished for life that kind of friend will likely help you in times of trouble and will always be there for you, will not abandoned you for sure,

I was expecting a better Mercedes also. The mercedes driver punctured a tire, broke the rim, damaged the wing, reached the pits and returned to the race. this guy is 8-9 in a situation where he should beat even the 19th rank. In the following laps, if DNF did not exist, he would have scored again. In most races, there are 3-4 second differences between the pilots of each team. Either there are 10 drivers on the grid, 10 goodies or there is something else behind this. All 10 teams strategize to protect their qualifying wins rather than compete. It turned into a strange situation where red flags were raised at the slightest rain, and the drivers were driving like turtles to avoid an accident. Managers and team managers urgently need to change their minds.

George Russell hits the barrier so badly that his back wheel was wobbling this looks like a red flag but still he gets to the pit with that Wibbly tire and regained momentum toward the race, and got past both Yuki Tsunoda and Kevin Magnussen that took a yellow flag, George Russell coming back like this was really amazing, but was out because the front left brake was too high, and if he doesn't have any technical difficulties with his car maybe he can retake his position back he was at position 8 when he retires his car,

This trade pretty much guarantees that CP3 will never get a ring. Being traded to Washington and playing on a rebuild roster has to be disheartening for him, but he will be a veteran for the younger players to look up to.

He is a good leader to the young players just like how he led the young OKC a few years back to the playoff. That team was also in a rebuilding process but CP3 was able to bring that team to the playoff and performed well. There is something in him that the young players find great inspiration. That is what will be lacking with the Suns next season. I believe the success of the Suns in recent years was because of the leadership of Chris Paul.

Phoenix on the other hand just got way better. Beal is a beast. Suns got a shooter to go along with Booker, Durant, and Ayton. Should be an interesting season for the Suns next season.

This is interesting in the sense that who will be the Alpha of this team? Durant has more success, but he did not bring good leadership to Brooklyn when he went there. Will he be a better leader in Phoenix? Booker was with the team longer and has been the franchise player. Will he relinquish leadership to Durant now that CP3 is out?

The Suns might turn into another Brooklyn Nets, with 3 superstars and with no role and bench players on their roster. So I don't see it as a good trade for the Suns though. Why not just trade CP3 for a good point guard or center as Ayton is also going to leave?

And those three are pure offensive superstars. None of them can really defend. So the role players they should get should be great defenders that will complement these three. We all know that without defense, any team will have a hard time getting a championship. That was already done in Houston and it got them nowhere. Hopefully, the Sun is not making the same mistake.

They couldn't get it done on the last map and PSG.LGD knew they can't allow the TA to snowball, so they went for rosh around the 15 min mark to disrupt their early power spike.

EG stumbled on their high ground defense when PSG LGD poke their high ground tower after securing the first Roshan. It was like they suddenly lost coordination and one by one they fall. They wasted the power spike that TA have since we saw that he can easily delete windranger.



Here is my bet on the games today.

I agree that PSG LGD vs Talon will go the long way. Talon has shown that they can beat chinese teams and they are really performing well in this tournament. But they cannot easily put away PSG LGD since they too are performing well.

Team Spirit vs Bet Boom can also take the full series. I am basing my bet on the fact that the recent matches of Bet Boom all go the full series. I am thinking this will be the same since Team Spirit is not an easy team to beat.

I was late in checking the result of the Bellator 297, and actually, I was just watching the recap of the fight so yeah, but here are the result of my picks,

Vadim Nemkov vs Yoel Romero - WIN

After watching the fight it is kind of weird for me to see Yoel Romero doing his drunken thingy technique which is only effective on Nemkov at first but doing this more often Vadim Nemkov is not that simple-minded to not notice this and so Yoel Romero kept this and played in the hands of Nemkov until round 4 so Vadim Nemkov outstrikes Yoel Romero towards the fight the only round for Yoel Romero was his wrestling game on the last round where it was shown that it was really effective against Nemkov, and I think if Romero keeps this up he might win the fight for sure,

Sergio Pettis vs Patricio Pitbull - LOST

Now if Vadim Nemkov outstrikes the former UFC fighter, Romero, in this match, the former UFC fighter Sergio Pettis outstrikes Patricio Pitbull this time, I really thought it was a close match but looking at the fight carefully Pettis really outdid the striking against Pitbull and Patricio Pitbulls wrestling game has no effect because of the good takedown defense Pettis have it was not really a crazy of a fight and for many, it was a close match for sure but Patricio Pitbull really has no chance against the stand-up against Sergio Pettis, the new Bellator Champion,

RACE HIGHLIGHTS
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX_GUhWiBHk

Logan Sargeant was the 1st to get the red flag and didn't finish the race, while on lap 12 George Russell hit the barrier it was a terrible smash for George Russell's right wing was gone and the back wheel wobbled and likely he gets the get flag, while in the pit Lewis Hamilton nearly hit Fernando Alozo in the pits, Lando Norris is showing good racing here taking the position from his teammate Oscar Piastri, then taking Valtteri Bottas, and then Kevin Magnussen, then Lap 22 Fernando Alonzo gets the position of Lewis Hamilton for the 2nd place position, while lap 35 Nyck De Vries is having trouble with Kevin Magnussen while the two is fighting it then a yellow flag from both drivers banging their wheels and stuck in the corner, but at the end of the race Max Verstappen still gets it done getting the win in the Canadian GP for 2023 and alongside him in the podium will be Fernando Alonso 2nd and Lewis Hamilton at 3rd,

The suspension almost certainly means that Morant will not be eligible for any end-of-season awards in 2024, such as MVP and All-NBA. Under the new Collective Bargaining Agreement that goes into effect July 1, a player must appear in 65 games (with limited exceptions) to be eligible for awards.

I know it could have been worse, but this is significant enough, however If the Grizzlies can survive and be a good position for those 25 games, then it could be a blessing in disguise for them having the best player heavily refreshed with 25 games gone already could put them in better spot for a potential post season run.

Good thing Memphis has good role players on their lineup. I think even when Morant was out last season, they are still on the winning side of the team rank. So missing him for 25 games may not have much effect on the team considering that Morant will continue to be in top shape even when suspended. It will be bad if Morant loses his shape during his suspension and will have a hard time coming back after the 25-game suspension. The team should make sure that Morant is not slacking off during those time so that he is still game ready when the suspension is over.

Quote
As he explained to ESPN's Malika Andrews, he left the Finals MVP trophy in the room of longtime Nuggets equipment manager Sparky Gonzales.
Who will not love this guy? Down to earth. Not pretending. So honest. Funny.
I believe he is going to get one more ring, maybe two if the roster will be intact, without injuries. As I said in my previous posts, Jamal Murray will be one of the key ingredients for another championship. Hopefully, their management won't break that duo.
The team is very young and healthy. This duo can start a dynasty if the team will not break them. They are in their prime and Jokic's game is very effective in today's NBA. As long as the management will keep on surrounding these two with good role players, they will dominate the league.

Remember when Jamal was injured, Jokic was still able to carry the team to the playoffs. Now that Jamal is healthy, and hopefully, he will stay healthy, he will be a great help to Jokic to keep on winning. As long as the team does not make drastic changes, they can continue winning. The only thing that I see that could probably break this duo and their success is the salary ceiling. When these two get max contract, it will be hard for the team to surround them with good role players.

Watching the game between EG and PSG LGD. Lgd won a very decisive game on the first map but EG made a comeback on the second map to equalize the series 1 all. It is now the third map and I hope that EG will be able to sustain their momentum as I bet on them to win the series. Third map is underway and EG banned Broodmother. They do not want to give Brood to LGD since it was a big factor in the winner of both maps.

Here is my bet for today:



I was really confident 9pandas would beat talon but they lost 2-0 instead including a big map 1 comeback, toer 1 dota can be really unpredictable  Huh
I watched both games and that 1st map was really a huge comeback for Talon. And for the 2nd map, there's a huge deficit and it's a one-sided game I thought that 9Pandas could make a comeback but that's not enough. But it's all good and well played for Talon Esports for securing the series and they've just won 2-0 on 9Pandas. We still got long games for this day and currently, it's EG and PSG.LGD while next are Team Aster and BetBoom.

It seems that Talon is getting better. They finished 3rd in the first group stage and now they beat a Chinese team, Aster and a EEU team, 9Pandas. That is already a good performance for a team coming from SEA. I hope they can continue this good performance.

It was a great fight to watch, even though most of the fight was in decision the Main Event, was the real Main Event Jared Cannonier VS Marvin Vettori have shown great upgrades for both fighters,

Now here are my Bets results,

Marvin Vettori vs Jared Cannonier - WIN

It's a great fight actually Marvin Vettori has shown a lot of heart in this match he was eating too many shots from Jared Cannonier but he surely got a great chin and durability the power shots of Jared Cannonier surely have a lasting effect on Vettori that may damage Vettori's chin and it will never be the same in the next time Vettori fight, but the thing that I was surprised about was Jared Cannonier's takedown game it was a surprising thing for Jared Cannonier to do he outwrestled Marvin Vettori that many fans is expecting has the advantage on the ground, but Jared Cannoier was the one controlling him in the ground

Arman Tsarukyan vs Joaquim Silva - WIN

WOW! Both fighters have shown great striking Joaquim Silva has given Arman Tsarukyan some beating at 1st and rocked him with a big punch that many have thought that Tsarukyan could lose, Arman Tsarukyan was triggered he was a different person after he was hit by Silva, from that he has taken Joaquim Silva to the ground and it was a fast pace takedown than the ground and pound comes next and it was hard rocking elbow that Silva can not defended and so the fight was finished with a TKO ground and pound,

393  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: F1 Formula Sports Racing - Sportsbet.io promotions & discussion thread on: June 18, 2023, 02:51:36 PM
Seems like Mercedes has a great upgrade this week, I wonder if it's a one lap success, like would work on Saturdays but not so much on Sundays, or if it is a race upgrade as well. Red Bull may not be the greatest Saturday car, but their domination during the race ins unbelievable, they keep it consistently close lap after lap, and I think it will become something important to know for Mercedes.

I wouldn't bet on them to win this week neither though, not yet at least, maybe they will get closer by the end and maybe they will be great next season, but I think this week is the first week with this magnificent upgrade, so it will not be easy for the drivers to adjust and win right away. They will certainly try, and podium is possible, even double podium is quite possible but I doubt they will get a win.

For me, I really think that it is a great bet to get to Podium for the Mercedes team, I don't know if Adding Hulkenburg could be possible but I don't really see him more often in that position this is the 1st time, and it is unusual but for me, it is a great bet to put Mercedes on the list of Podium, in my opinion, their upgrade was really great that they are doing some surprise winnings in the 2nd and 3rd position,

For me, not the winning because that is still for Max Verstappen for sure and I don't want to put so many hopes for people that want a new winning in the leader board, but Max Verstappen is pretty much in a different caliber of a racer I really think that he is a real genius and always practicing with his Sim Race, for sure to get ahead of many drivers for the upcoming Circuit for the Grand Prix,


Hülkenberg had a bit of an advantage due to the weather and was able to use it well, if the race goes normally today I don't think he will have a chance for a good place. Mercedes is very strong, as you wrote, and yesterday morning I was even betting on a win for Hamilton and second Verstappen, so we'll see how the race goes.

I really think that Nico Hulkenberg just happens to get a good lead when the rain started, and also Max Verstappen can pretty much do a good race wet or dry, he is good at any kind of weather, pretty much just like I have said, for me this is what I am going to give a go with my betting with the F1 race right now

1st - Max Verstappen
2nd - Lewis Hamilton
3rd - Fernando Alonzo
      - George Russell
      - Charles Leclerc
      - Carlos Sainz
      - Sergio Perez

1st place will be Max Verstappen, 2nd will be Lewis Hamilton, and with the 3rd place I could go for whoever I like or you like for me the close one will be Fernando Alonzo then George Russell, and the rest will be for the Ferrari or the 2nd Red Bull Team,


394  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Easy or hard to quit? on: June 17, 2023, 10:32:27 PM
Can you quit gambling if you make a life changing money and never go back to gambling?

I think quitting will be hard, especially if you won a large amount of money in gambling. A good example is, whenever I win a significant amount of money in gambling, I am more enticed to gamble. Winning a life changing money may put me into a life of gambling. Discipline can also play a large role in determining if the gambler will stop or continue to gamble. A more disciplined individual may be able to stop gambling if he ever makes that much money because he can control himself. Otherwise, the opposite can happen.

Well, there are some gamblers who truly had the courage to leave gambling after achieving what they wanted but its percentage is undeniably low because not everybody had the same courage and strength to leave the world of gambling and besides, it's certainly not that easy to do because before we can come up to that situation, we have already accustomed ourselves to gamble and that makes it difficult to end.

This can be true as well. If gambling already becomes a habit, it is hard to stop it especially when it is reinforced with a life-changing amount of money won. In fact, it might reinforce the habit and become an addiction which is really bad since gambling is not a good activity to be addicted to. It can destroy the life of the person. It will take an extra amount of determination and discipline to be able to stop gambling if this happens.

Here is a video review of how the past Canadian grand prix went and which ones are considered the best for this man-made track on the river:

The Greatest Canadian Grand Prix Ever
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfG6H2eKdxs

Both 2007 & 2011 Canadian Grand Prix were referred to as the greatest races by Josh Revell the author of the video.
About Massa a viewer of the video above commented about him going against Kobayashi which looked to be a great dog fight on this wet track being so close to a major water way.
"An entire video could be made about Kobayashi vs Massa in that race. They fought each other for like 50 laps only for Massa to overtake him on the finish line (0.04s)"

A great video indeed, and in that video, it was truly a great race one of the Great Canadian Grand Prix ever Jenson Button has proven that it is never too late if you don't give up a piece of great advice for the narrator and truly Red Bull is dominating back then with Sebastian Vettel, and his partner Mark Webber but as you have said Kamui Kobayashi is a great prospect aswell that have shown great determination but Jenson Button was the real deal here despite seeing two Red Bull in front of him he never lose hope, and a funny thing that the Narrator have pinpoint here is the safety car and the rain that made this race one of the longest race ever recorded because of that Safety car,



Now Back to the latest F1 what are your thoughts on both the Mercedes getting into Podium again, or this time one of them will get the lead this time, or Max Verstappen still not showing all of his cards because it is just the Practice run, but maybe let's just wait for the other Practice run aswell as the qualifier going into the race I think even though Max Verstappen can get into the 3rd position he still got a great position to start in the race because he can likely go on going with the lead but still a great performance has shown by the Mercedes team, while both Ferrari is also showing good performance Carlos Sainz made it into the 3rd position Charles Leclerc on the 5th position while Fernando Alonso is on the 4th position, making Max Verstappen in the 6th position while Sergio Perez is likely down again but now to the 8th position, this may surely shift some of the fans and in my opinion it is looking more exciting now,

Even though Howard's physique is totally looking great, I don't believe he is in the shape to play at NBA level. Even at his last season in nba, he was not doing good. Now he is older and played in lesser league. I don't think he can be slightly effective.

Howard averages 23 points, 16 rebounds, and 5 assists per game in the Taiwanese league. Of course, if he could go back to the NBA, his stats would be 2-3 times worse, but that's not the worst thing. The problem is that Howard is still injury prone, and as far as I know, he's often bothered by knee injuries. The way I see it, his age and injury-prone nature could be the deciding factor why NBA teams probably won't offer him a minimum contract this offseason.

That is the problem with Howard now. Not that he cannot play at a high level but his injury is limiting his play time. Even in Taiwan, he is on the bench in some of the games because of injury. He was also not able to carry his team to a significant-finish because of his injury. He no longer deserves a slot on an NBA team. It is better to give that slot to a younger and healthier player.


Hopefully, this is enough punishment to teach Morant. He is throwing away his good fortune by trying to be a thug. If he ever gets involved in a gun incident again, I think his sponsors will back away from him. I hope that does not happen before he learns his lesson. And maybe, while he is suspended he needs to go to therapy and maybe he will not do the foolishness he has done again. He is a baller, and we will hate to see something bad happen to him just because of his foolishness.

Just like you guys I also think that this match will be close which is why this is a great fight to watch Marvin Vettori is likely a great guy who always will look for a clinch that may become a takedown, but 1 thing that I have noticed for Vettori his opponent Israel Adesanaya and Robert Whittaker will kick and he lost to those two fights and Jared Cannonier can kick, head kick but mostly the leg kicks will be the point maker for Cannonier that Vettori will likely have trouble on, for me the kicks will be the key for Jared Cannonier to  win in this fight,

Arman Tsarukyan vs Joaquim Silva

Joaquim Silva have those strong shot that could knock out anybody in this division he does have BJJ but I think it is not that lethal and not on the level of Arman Tsarukyan, I really don't see an upset for this match it is likely just a one-sided fight for the rank 8th in this division but even though Tsarukyan beat Silva on this fight I really wish Joaquim Silva can still have a high ranked fight in the future or even in this next fight, but because this is surely going to be a win for Tsarukyan, and Arman Tsarukyan is an Orthodox so he can switch his stance that Joaquim Silva could struggle much, so my pick is Arman Tsarukyan,

Practice 1 CANADA Grand Prix 2023

Session Suspension because of a technical problem due to the local CCTV infrastructure, Alpine Pierre Gasly got some car issues moments he left the pits but the most crucial one for the F1 Practice 1 session to be suspended was the technical problem with the Circuit CCTV System a crucial safety feature and because of it the Practice can not take place and the P1 has already suspended and it was a blow for all the teams especially the teams that have machine upgrades that want to test their latest upgrades to the tracks and Aston Martins and Williams have brought big upgrade was the teams that are hit by this incident and as P1 was Suspended P2 has to change its running time to 60 minutes to 90 minutes for teams and drivers a little more run time to be familiar with the Circuit and for the other teams to take that opportunity to try their upgrades,

Practice 2 CANADA Grand Prix 2023

There is a good sign for Lewis Hamilton coming to 2nd place that the Mercedes is closing the gap for the leader of this race, while the clouds have poured so much rain for the Ferrari to have a hard time with it and a crucial problem for Haas Nico Hulkenburg when white smoke appears behind his car, the 1st red flag for Practice 2 then a 2nd red flag when Esteban Ocon received a panicked radio to stop his car and with the result of Practice 2 it was a surprise for the 2 Mercedes hits the 1st place

Or simply he just want to get out of Toronto simply as that, and be on a new team that will renew and motivate him to win another ring. Just like what Lowry did when he get out of Toronto after a big win, and he almost did it with the Miami Heat. And probably Van Vleet might have another team in his mind already and willing to sacrifice a pay cut just to be with that team. Yeah, for sure Kyrie might opt to get out and move to Lakers, but if Lebron is also going out then I doubt that Kyrie will seriously to to LA though.

There are rumors that Chris Paul would like Fred VanVleet to be on the Suns, The Toronto Raptors are looking for this in saying goodbye to Fred VanVleet but for them to steal a good trade, if it is not with the Phoenix Suns it could likely be with the Los Angeles Lakers traded with D’Angelo Russell, or even to the Milwaukee Bucks, with Grayson Allen, or the Raptors is aiming for Terance Mann, but I really don't know if it can Suffice,


I don't even know why ESPN is still keeping that guy. He is a cancer, he only talks about Lebron James all the time. Not fair for those who want different things to listen to and NBA is not all about Lebron anymore. We have a lot of rising stars, Lebron had his time, it's also time for Perkins to move on and talk about the new guys. I am not a Lebron hater but that dude Perkins won't have an analysis that doesn't include Lebron.
 
In these eras today, the champion will be coming from either the teams of Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic, Giannis, Joel Embiid, Ja Morant, Markkanen, Booker, SGA, and Fox. One of those. I think Sacramento Kings will come back better after proving a good point entering the playoffs again.

Well, many are mad about the recent Racist voting bias toward just white people, Kendrick Perkins should be banned from being a commentator on ESPN he is a bad influence on the future media commentariat, and it is not just right to talk about it,

Well, I agree with the champions will be coming from one of those players or teams, but let's just wait for the transfer windows this will be a very crucial picks for all team s,
