Might be but as we all know, owners will have to make promises, and players should take that as a grain of salt. I remember the Jordan Poole trade, Poole said that he was assured that he will not be traded by Dunleavy Jr. But in the next 12 hours, he was traded to the Wizards.

So that is a lesson that there is no absolute word in the NBA, it's business, the owner or the president of basketball for operations of a team will have to make the hard decision. And with that, Harden might be hurt by the promises and so he wanted to leave.

really looking forward for this match Brazil vs Bolivia
I'm betting 2x1 for Brazil
curious to see the results

good to know that south american teams will have 6 slots now, I think 4.5 slots was just too few
what do you think about that?

I have been a crypto enthusiast for some time now,thou I have lacked consistentency,but over the years I have seen people who have carved out good lives for themselves with crypto,either by direct or indirect investment.,as a result I wish to invest in crypto with cash,but with minimal knowledge,so I seek the help of this house in advise on which crypto to invest in currently as someone who is just getting to learn about crypto currency.

I think it's a cool idea, but for different reasons.
If I read correctly, every player of the winning team of the tournament gets 500000$ in prize money.
So imagine you are a rookie or whatever, on a minimum contract. The 500k make a HUGE difference in your annual salary.

The big names of course couldn't care less but for the bench players this is a nice pay day. Of course the journey is long, but it's a nice opportunity.

There is much to this. So why can't you say the reason you can't bet that by your self. Must you do a telegram?
Despite your "willingness " for an escrow, you have to do all the transaction processes here for all to see if you don't want to be doubted. I just won't do a risk as such no matter the reward in percentage of the winning. No need for telegram chat, that is the point.

Both the teams on the competence for the third position is really strong. Based on the performance throughout the FIFA World Cup matches both Australia and Sweden are doing their best. Sweden defeated Japan in the quarter finals which is truly a strong team. Australia won the World Cup favourite France on the penalty shootout which is really surprising and big achievement. Earlier Australia won against Denmark, whereas Sweden won against USA, Argentina. So, from the beginning both the teams have faced the best ones to fight for the third position. Lets see who gonna win the match.

If you are onto gambling for the first time it's not possible to get addicted to gambling because you haven't tasted what winning feels like, you will be consumed by doubts and uncertainty.

But wait till you have a taste, win some money, that's where you start feeling like there is more if you keep digging, is this not where gambling addiction starts?

We have had a lot of conversations about gambling addiction, but I had the same conversation with someone close yesterday and this was my answer to him.

Do you think its possible to become addicted to gambling when you haven't win a dime or after you win?

I think addiction starts after you win, even if it's just once, that's when you start gambling recklessly and you also start betting higher.

It wouldn’t surprise me, SBF is a guy who doesn't care about anybody else. He’s a massive criminal, one of the worst fraudsters of the last 20 years or more.

I just hope he gets a long prison sentence as some sort of justice for the pain & suffering he put so many people through.

I did further research after my previous post and discovered that the Dominican Republic is a stronger team this year. Not only will they have KAT, but they also have Al Horford as another big man. In addition, Chris Duarte, who is an NBA player, is part of the team.

Here's another interesting story: it's the Dominican Republic that prevented Argentina from qualifying for the FIBA World Cup.

They way Inter Miami play now, it is like they have never been bad. Messi in the team has brought out the best of every player in the team and I am very happy for the young players the team has. It will be glorious for Messi's career if he can win a trophy for his new club in less than ten games, It will also signal that a new era has begun for the club and the supporters will be excited for the future of their club. Lionel Messi has reignited the passion that supporters have for the club, he has performed at unexpected levels at his age, he is truly one of a kind.

If it becomes something that teams wants to win then yes it will matter and we are going to see teams play for real and we are going to have fun. However, if it becomes something useless then we are not going to see something that will matter at all.

I think the best thing to make it more fun in the end would be checking all-star game, we have changed the all-star method a lot and in return it didn't become more fun, nobody does any defense at all and they just have fun and nobody cares. If it's like that, then I am sorry but this will be bad but if they do actually play like it matters that means we are going to see something better. So all in all, I believe that we are going to see something that will matter without a doubt.

it was not just luck, but yeah Australia had their chances to join final match, but missed it
England proved that they were first favorite for the title, and they will have to prove it once again against Spain

it will be kind an ironic to have England as Europe/World Champions in Women football, while men team can't get it home for 50+ years
nevertheless, Spain has decent chances as well, IMO

The king of "Load Management".

That's what some people call him right now, and that's true. Ever since he went to the Clippers after winning a title with the Raptors, he's been doing this load management sh*t that ruins the whole team. What's worse is that, he only says that he will not play just minutes or hours before the game even starts. I mean like WTF!!. You're being paid, and you will choose whether you will play or not even though you can play?

Anyway with regards to him being considered in the top 10, he's easily on the top 10 on the list of current active players right now "IF" he's healthy. We already saw how good he is back when he was in the Raptors, and he won a title there. I mean with his skills on both offense, and defense, I can put him in the top 10 conversation no doubts. It's just that injuries really ruin one's career, and that includes him. We know his potential, and how good he is.

2 Finals MVP's don't matter if you play like that. Always getting injured, can't be a leader, always silent, and at the same time, don't know how to laugh . Kidding aside, Kawhi no doubt is a top 10 player, and there was a time where even Lebron is afraid of him when Kawhi is in the court because of how good he is defensively. I already said the problem with him, and I hope there will be a cure with that one.

I have mentioned multiple times in past here that people should be cautious with alt coins. If some coin has moved up like 100% or more in just 24 hours, it does not mean that you should also purchase the coin. You should first understand the reason behind prices moving up. Then, you should also analyze the benefits and demerits of the project.

One such option has come again in safemoon. The coin has pumped more than 100% when they reduced fees from 10% to 1%. Now new investors are rushing to invest in this coin. This is the situation when the past investors in the coin are like in 99% loss of their invested value. But greed make people loose all senses I think. If you are still thinking to invest in safemoon now, think twice.

Hi Friends,

I often come across Alt Coins and even meme coins showing white paper. IMO, they are absolutely ruining the meaning of Whitepaper, aren't they?

Some of them use it for showing Toeknomics, some of them show their Utilities & Use cases, some show Roadmap and Planning, and some show just Memes in the paper.

There are many Crypot New Enthusiasts who just jump into the Project as and when they see Website and Whitepaper link. Hardly check what is even inside!

Just wondering what is your take on it!

Kawhi has always been one of the biggest "what ifs" in the history of NBA, of course there are a lot more as well and this isn't at the top for sure but he is a big one. This dude won 2 fmvp's and is not even considered remotely anywhere the top, not even in any top 10 topics ever, I am not saying that he is not in it, I am saying he is not even considered to be in it at all, ever.

How many other 2 time finals mvp's can you name that people wouldn't even consider a small slight chance of them being in top 10? Nobody. That dude spent 2 years as bringing championship to his team, and all rest of his career as spending time resting his injury. That's really not normal and should be considered a bit weird but unlucky at the same time.

Is DOGE Coin's Rise a Sign of the Future of Cryptocurrencies, or a Fleeting Internet Meme Phenomenon?

This seems like a flashback to Ben Simmons' history, LOL. If we end up witnessing a similar situation, we might not see James Harden next season either. The team seems to have no plans of trading, so Harden will have to remain on vacation, waiting for the right time to be traded. There appears to be a problem with the 76ers' management; the team's cohesion with players isn't great, with stars leaving. Except for Embiid, who stands out, or could it be that Embiid is part of the problem?
