But I still think the Lakers are the favorite going into next season.
They are my favorite team to be the first one to go out in the playoff actually. Meanwhile in Golden State, another veteran and a key figure in their championship runs will not be returning for next season. Shaun Livingston is being waived ( source). Only three remains now.

I remember seeing a lot of those tweets back in 2017 and early 2018. I am feeling more bullish now that I am seeing these scam bots again This is a good reminder though and a timely warning.

Maybe he will be like Jason Kidd who will get a ring as a veteran.
He does not have the skill set of a J. Kidd. The dude mainly relies on his drives and dunks. If he can improves his jumpers, then maybe. Just maybe. Looks like OKC wants to recreate their roster with young ones. They are too late to make a trade. Free agents already have their teams.
No too late yet. The table is still open. Houston or Miami are possible destinations.

I was out on my 777coin campaign (there was an issue then - long delay of payout)
Things seems to be good with 777 now but there hasn't been an open position for Sr. members in recent weeks. and I am now searching for new signature campaigns that have an open position and accept Sr. Member - Please send me a recommendation if you know of one.
I am not recommending but since you are looking for one, there's this new campaign https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5161935.0Some members here raised a lot of issues about the campaign. Join at your own risk. Best of luck.

Clippers didn't become playoff contenders, they were already in playoffs, they took warriors without injuries to 6 games, nobody played the uninjured warriors except clippers.
With this two trades they became championship contenders for sure, I am not saying they will be champions but at least we know for a fact that there is no team that can easily beat clippers, yeah it can go to 7 games or 6 games or have a very difficult over time games and what not and eventually clippers may lose, that is a possibility but nobody can sweep clippers. Lakers between got bunch of great additions, rondo is back, cook came in, cousins came and of course my favorite ; Danny green is in Lakers now. Considering they missed out on Kawhi and had to wait a lot during free agency, it was a great roster fill up by them.
I can't disagree with Clippers becoming championship contenders after they acquired Kawhi and Paul. On the Lakers part, I only consider Danny Green as the great addition to that team aside from AD. On another note, it's funny all those three (Davis, Cousins, Rondo) being reunited in another team.

It is no longer as effective as before. Many bounty campaign participants today are spammers especially on social media and spams are annoying. The reason a lot of these new projects are still launching their bounty campaign is that it is cheaper compared to other forms of advertisement. There's not much to lose.
But what about those icos and ieos are still raising so many funds easily, look at bcnext and how it was getting a big demand after it has been doing a big marketing program. ICOs are things of the past and as I have said "it's no longer as effective as before" in case you missed that. On IEOs, have you read about IDAX recently on how they are faking the volume just to make it look like a success? Do you really think also that bounties are responsible for the success of token sales on these exchanges or is it the exchange itself (Binance, Bittrex, Huobi, Kucoin, etc.)?

In fact, shilling is good because it tells me, it's a shitcoin. The good coins don't get shilled because shills know those will take too long to grow.
Can you mention of a good coin that has not been shilled or promoted? Even bitcoin has been shilled/promoted by almost every crypto investors to attract no coiners and buy.

Here are the results for UFC 239 Jon Jones (c) def. Thiago Santos Decision (split) (48-47, 47-48, 48-47)
Never expected Jones and Santos to be that close. Great showing for both fighters. Jones did not take the easy route here which is to take Santos to the ground and pound/submit him. His game plan was to beat Thiago in his own game which is stand up. It's not the smartest of strategy imo but it's respectable. Jorge Masvidal def. Ben Askren KO (flying knee)
I was rooting for Askren but the way he was defeated was just It was like 3 seconds. Jorge's strategy from the beginning makes perfect sense.

Yes, you are right. The main problem is not their twist about reviewing. The problem is that they declare every work as crappy and worthless. This is not the case for other campaigns. This is the first time I encountered on Bounty0x since I reviewed the projects myself before I decide to join. Chimpion was on Mercatox when they conducted the campaign on B0x and I thought it couldn't be a scam or shady project but clearly, I was wrong.
You catch the Main Point. I am not Bounty0x supporter nor trying to compare it with other platforms. But here I am arguing with what I got, and the main topic here is actually Chimpion Project Problem not the Bounty0x Platform. Sorry to say this think, but I saw a lot of comments that actually made Bounty0x as the main suspect and then compared it to other platforms. The problem with Bounty0x is that they should not have allowed Chimpion to revise anything. They should stipulated in their terms of service that their work is final. It appears that it wasn't the case here.

Even as market has been improving rapidly in the past months , why do this new projects keep failing?
It's not all about the market. You have to consider more important factors as well such as the status of development, strategic partnerships, etc. All these factors matter to the crypto community. A lot of these new projects may have disappointed their community and support continues to decline.

The reason why I like tron block chain is the ability to get rid of fake tokens running on tron blockchain if ethereum can do this it will help a lot.
I doubt this statement. If only Tron blockchain came in first and became the more popular go-to-blockchain for these new projects, the result would have been the same. My answer is too many shitcoins are based on erc20.
This is more like a credit the founder and developer of ethereum since they made it easier for new project developers to launch their own.
