For sure Green has heard about it and could be working for his own contract extension, a max if he can. But then again in the recent days we have seen what he had done not just to Jordan Poole but to the rest of the guys in the team. He might be feeling shit right now after hearing both Poole and Wiggins have sign for a huge contract. So we might as well see Green in other teams. We've seen others speculated that he will play with Lebron at Lakers but we will see.
There is absolutely no way that Draymond Green would get a max contract, I am not sure if the owners even wanted to pay him that much, but with this move I am sure that they will have an excuse to just say that they do not want to pay him that much because he is a player that causes trouble in the team.

I am not saying he is going to get a veteran minimum, because it may not be that low, all because of he won so many rings with them and he was part of a great group, but just because he was good back then, you can't give him a max contract, that would be too wild. Just imagine having curry+klay+poole+wiggins already, that's good enough, so green has to take more like 20-25 million at most, that's good enough for him.

That's the only amount the Warriors could offer, so it's either he will be traded and wait for the contract extension to get a max contract, or he will stay with the team still thinking about what happened that Poole got that huge contract after he punched him in the face. Green is a trouble maker, that's why he is called as a dirty player, but against his teammates, that's unacceptable.

SMB's import already made 11 points, that's very low compared to the import of Bay Area Dragons who dropped 39 big points in this game. We can really tell how important Fajardo is inside because he was present and healthy, he could certainly help his team to give a very competitive match.

Better luck next time "KA BEERMEN", make the right bounce back like what the Dragons just did.

Yes, better luck next time, and we know that SMB is a good team and they will bounce back for sure, so watch out for their next game and don't miss betting on them. On the mean time, let's enjoy the 2nd game, so far Magnolia is controlling the game with a big lead, I'm afraid we will again see another one sided game tonight, that would make it a boring night overall.

We can trust them on that, they'll be playing against the NLEX next game, I think it's just a light opponent for them, so even without JMF, I believe they'll be able to manage to win. JMF might be missing few games before he will come back, his teammates has to play harder in order to still be in the playoff race.

I believe he can match either Spence of Crawford with proper training, but he can start with a rematch against Ugas, I'm pretty sure Ugas would not say no because when he was asked after the fight against Pacman, he was open for a rematch, so Pacman could start on that if he is planning to go off of retirement.

I think he can not do it, seeing him against Ugas, was pretty much devastating seeing him unable to open his eyes and his wife needing to spoon-feed him because he can not see in both of his eyes, I think this is an indicator that he can not withstand a strong punch from Ugas, and this is the 1st time that I have seen him in this state, He already retired maybe if that boxer were retired I think he can go with an exhibition match, but for now, it is highly unlikely for him to return to the boxing ring,

I don't know that, didn't see a video that he was struggling after the fight. Manny had some excuse after the fight, it was the leg cramp that causes him not able to use his speed, so I'm thinking, what if he has no problem in that fight, will Ugas can still hit him?
1425  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 15, 2022, 02:49:50 PM
Just like what happened with DeMarcus Cousins. Injuries after injury made him less valuable and even today he is having a hard time finding a team.

One of the worst things that happened in a player's history regarding the possibility of getting a good contract.

That year, I remember that he was already expecting a max contract in the off-season not just with the New Orleans Pelicans but on other teams as well. Unfortunately, the injury came and from there, he didn't have a chance now to taste a very good contract until his value depreciate up to this point.

I hope the Denver Nuggets can give him another shot even for 1-year basis.

As long as he remained healthy, he can still be a good asset coming off the bench.

He can be a great addition to the team, and that is proven because we've seen him already in the past playoffs his contribution was really valuable. I can't discount his will to contribute to the team, if only the coaching staff will give him enough playing time, he can give more help the team to win.
Fingers crossed my brothers. He proved himself well at that run with the Denver Nuggets, especially at the time when he was given more than 20 minutes of playtime.
Even until now, I am confused with why he is not signed yet. He trimmed his body weight, he can shoot threes from Warriors to Nuggets.
All he need is a contract.
I bet he is willing to take even a veterans contact just to show his skills again and how he is getting better after every season.

I like what he is doing because he is still very eager to come back, he is doing everything to be fully shaped so that he can be more versatile. I'm guessing, maybe there are teams already that are interested in him but his agent is just carefully evaluating the offers before they will formally choose a team to sign with.

At least he need a rematch against Ugas and prove if he's have a power to fight against Spence or Crawford, after that there's will be a lot hype if Pacquiao could beat them.

I believe he can match either Spence of Crawford with proper training, but he can start with a rematch against Ugas, I'm pretty sure Ugas would not say no because when he was asked after the fight against Pacman, he was open for a rematch, so Pacman could start on that if he is planning to go off of retirement.
1427  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Bull Market, Is it going to come soon or Will People have to Wait More.. on: October 14, 2022, 09:49:56 PM
I believe bitcoin's 4 year cycle is still going and repeat means war or not, inflation or not bitcoin will still drop in price this year after we hit ATH in October 2021. As you mentioned, we've only been in bear season for a year, which means that we will have to wait another three years before we see bull season again. So for 2023, I still believe that the market cannot recover regardless of whether the economy in 2023 will get better or continue to deteriorate.
It all depends on the present economic state that time as positive economic state will also make a positive and bullish market. But whatever it is, it’s better not to expect much so you won’t get frustrated later on. Just stay being positive and always take advantage on the opportunities the market gives. That way, you will never  have to complicate things and you won’t have to risk things at a loss. Just trust the process and I know the market  will be bullish again in time, the problem is we don’t know its certain time so patience is the best virtue here.

Want to live a happy life? Start focusing on your own strategy and go for what you think is right. You can’t just follow the crowd, you can create your own and still be successful. Having that work is great, but don’t live with too much pressure from the crowd.

Here in this market, we have no boss here yet many becomes rich simply because of their dedication and commitment to learn things here, again it’s not what other think of you, it’s all about how you see yourself and how you work just to achieve your goal.
Do not live for others, but live with your own principles in life. That way, you will have more courage and develop peace of mind knowing you are following your own ways that you think is right. Also, success will not be possible if you are not genuine to your own self and to the people around you. Yes, you can be somehow influenced with the trends that the crowd follow as a standard of living, but remember you can be on your own and still excel as long as you also put hardwork and passion in everything you do.

We are in a world people desire to work in oil company, banking firm and while others choose to in different organizations been a corporate office jobs just to answer am working in so so company, but can you choose crypto as full time corporate job?
I'm not really sure how to answer this but yes you can example like working on exchange or writting some blog or making video about crypto, The other way was working as Blockchain developer on some sector like Oil, Market, Food, etc and also being a lawyer or even marketing on some blockchain-based company
Definitely not. Crypto is still new to us and we’re not even sure if it’s staying for good or not, as it can be gone anytime and we will lost access to our jobs eventually. So the risk is certainly high. That is why it’s better to find a real job that will sustain your way of living, and just consider crypto jobs as additional source of your income. Though crypto offers well compensated jobs, but it’s always safe to only consider them as your side jobs.
1430  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Elon Musk Back To Promoting Doge as a Payment Method for New Cologne on: October 13, 2022, 09:59:33 PM
Historically, DOGE price behavior has tracked sentiments in Musk’s tweets about the memecoin.

While largely positive, with some tweets sending the memecoin rocketing by 20% to 85%, other tweets have resulted in bearish price behavior.

In Feb. 2021, the price of DOGE fell 20% following Musk’s criticism that the memecoin was concentrated in the hands of a few followers.

Following the Burnt Hair announcement, DOGE is uncharacteristically down 0.4%, as even the billionaire’s bullish tweet could not rouse it from its bearish slumber. At press time the price is $0.06.

According to Be[In]Crypto’s recent DOGE technical analysis, the memecoin could see a bullish breakout within the week after initially falling to $0.051.

DOGE could see a more long-term rally following an update to its Core software later this year, and then again in March 2023.

(Source: Beincrypto)
This is not new to us as Elon will always come back to hype his favorite coin because that will also bring huge profits for himself. I can still imagine how those Dogecoin lovers before put all their money in this coin and boom, when Elon is gone, the price of Dogecoin also stops increasing. So maybe this will be a lesson for everyone especially for Elon’s fanatics, always invest in a reputable coin to avoid huge losses, and I think all the coins that are hyped by Elon are definitely not reputable at all.

I came around a post that reminded me of this very topic "WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE, YOU DON'T NEED and this very phrase was instilled long ago in me when I was still in school and upon a close research, I've also noticed that one of the greatest weakness of the youth is contentment and desperation.

I really think that if we have a society with more of contented citizens and youth, then the world could be a better place. Wats your take ?
The problem is no one gets life’s contentment and satisfaction as we are born with greed and that is something that is undeniable. Yes, we could live in a better place if it’s possible, but knowing we always go for what we need and what we want even if it seems unrealistic to us, then probably depression is the thing next to being uncontented and dissatisfaction. Something that we need to accept, but somehow it can be avoided if we always act the right way in the first place.
1432  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price: Watchout for 30% decline in Bitcoin price, according to this indi on: October 13, 2022, 08:28:40 PM
Technical analysis always suck and fundamental analysis don’t work on bitcoin so any prediction coming from anybody has no meaning. Kyosaki, Powell, Cramer or someone else… it doesn’t matter who is making these predictions. They are all pulling it out if their asses. The markets will either go upwards, downwards or sideways like it always do. The future won’t be an exception. If the price declines 30%, it will create a better buying opportunity. It doesn’t mean anything else.
Only newbies fall for this. Predictions will always be guesses, and there are no guarantees if it’s going to happen or not most particularly with bitcoin which is highly volatile. And add to that which is crypto market is very much unpredictable, so we will always expect that bitcoin price might go up or down, or even sideways, but that won’t lose the fact that bitcoin will always manage to recover and surge high again. So if it drops its value, then it’s not something to get panic as that would mean a new opportunity to accumulate and hold more bitcoin for long term.
1433  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A painter received $50 worth of bitcoin on June 2013. on: October 12, 2022, 09:28:10 PM
Yeah, at least she has done some research first on Bitcoin before she accepted it as payment and then save the private keys somewhere and the good thing is that she was not hack or something if she has written it in the PC that she has been using for the last 10 years. Or probably buy a new hardware but then back up everything. In a sense she is technical savvy I would say and that save her the problems of other people who have a lot of bitcoin before but they don't know how to save it. And with that, she has a happy ending.
I think she’s just lucky that she never forget the password to his account, otherwise she won’t have an access anymore about his bitcoin investment. Well, the good thing is, she never doubted bitcoin in the first place and just keep it the whole time, and the time she remembered it, the price made her more surprised. This kind of story has always been in the forum, and it’s just so inspiring that those who never expected huge profits in the first place are now reaping a very good amount of profits with bitcoin.
1434  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: You only lose nothing if you hold BTC on: October 11, 2022, 09:27:11 PM
It's a fallacy to think that unrealized losses don't matter, regardless if you talk about Bitcoin or altcoins. There's absolutely no guarantee that if you wait long enough, you will break even. You are right that altcoins have way worse chances of recovering than Bitcoin. But nobody should put all their money into Bitcoin and think that it's a risk-free strategy to get rich.
All investments have their own risks, some only manage to lessen the risk because they start investing with sufficient capital, knowledge and skills, compared to those who jump to investments without prior preparation. And bitcoin is not an exception. Yes, it’s the most profitable asset and the most prominent crypto coin, but that won’t lose the fact that bitcoin is still a very risky investment because it’s highly volatile and it’s price movement is very unpredictable. However, I would still invest in bitcoin with caution than to entrust my funds investing in meme coins.
1435  Economy / Economics / Re: Can commodities return to its price last year? on: October 11, 2022, 08:11:06 PM
We know that once commodity prices increase, it will be difficult to bring them down because it will affect the conditions in the market. Maybe that could happen if there was more supply for basic food so that it could push the price down.

I still believe that in the future, people will still be able to buy or finance a basic life. But maybe the quality of that will not be as good as now or in the past because there have been a lot of changes.
Unfortunately, the prices of basic commodities keep on increasing while the basic salary of minimum wage earners has only less chances to grow so it’s an obvious reason that they are the ones who are very much affected with this current high inflation. But I don’t think the government have never seen this coming. Maybe they are still in battling on how to control the price inflation so that people can still afford to live a basic life just like before.
1436  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I helped my dad bought some Bitcoin last night on: October 10, 2022, 09:56:19 PM
Nice to hear the OP's story, if my dad is like you I suggest buying bitcoins and using them myself and I will teach my dad in detail how to buy and sell especially to hold them long term. But unfortunately my father is very old and can't even use a smartphone.
but I taught it to some of my family members long ago and until now, and with a record of using the money they can afford to lose. Actually this is the best way to spread bitcoins and it doesn't need to be to distant people or unknown people if there are close family or friends which I think we will be happy if they enjoy it and also easy to discuss or share ideas because we often meet.
It’s good to share the same interest with your family members, but most likely this is not what happening in most of us. Some are just hesitant to trust bitcoin and take the risk in investing, while others are very supportive on whatever their family members are into. I’m just glad that at the end of the day, OP’s dad finally decide to trust and invest in bitcoin. With the utmost help from his son, I guess things will be quite easier for him in the crypto investment even if it means he’s a completely newbie in crypto investment.
1437  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 09, 2022, 02:38:46 PM
The attack Green did is unacceptable, the fact that we are still talking about how it should have stayed within the team is showing that NBA is still not finding the right mental health situation. Now you are expecting Jordan Poole to figure out a way to accept Green as who he is, sure Green will "apologize" if he is asked, if I know him, he won't be even doing that unless he got some stern warning and a punishment that is more severe than what he would normally get, and then he would do so but Poole would know he doesn't mean it. And he has to accept him as his teammate and move on.

I believe violence has no place in NBA, and players should be punished like whole season worths, or at least a serious amount of money, like 10-20 million, to make sure that nobody would ever try to do something like this ever again.

Whatever Poole's decision, it will still reflect on the entire squad. We don't know what really the reason behind it

and if we just judge it from the video, it can create two-way opinions. Green might not punch Poole if he didn't push him
but from the angle that we saw from the video that keeps circulating, it was Poole who pushed green first before Green
punch him. All we can do now is to wait for any update to know how Warriors will solve this gap between these two
stars.

Green was planning on attacking him, Poole also has pride so pushing him is expected from him based on the video we saw, however, punching Poole with a very accurate shot, was unacceptable, it's pure violence. Green is really a dirty player, even his teammates are not exempted.

Now, I'm convinced that Draymond was probably the reason why Durant left the Warriors.

Jerwin has to move up, he has no power in this fight, he adjusted well, but unfortunately, he wasn't fast and he does not have volume punches. The same result in their first meeting, it was very clear that once again he was still dominated by Martinez.

Congratulations to Martinez, and to the bettors who took Martinez to win via decision.

Great game so far, Brownlee is coking again with already 26 points in the first half.

I think we will see that Bay Area Dragons will not anymore be undefeated after tonight.
So far, it's a very entertaining game and I like the starting 5 of Ginebra due to their good defense.

Exciting 2nd half is coming soon.  Grin

3rd quarter is just starting. It depends if they get a good start on this quarter, Ginebra may win this game. They are playing really good specially brownlee. Malonzo is also putting up good work in defense and offense.

I think Myles Powell is a better fit for the Dragons. They have enough big men that can defend and score in the paint. Without Myles Power, their backcourt becomes a little bit weaker. Also, Powell spread the defense because he is an offensive juggernaut. He can drive when the lane is open, and he can score 3s when needed.



Big 3rd quarter run but Bay Area put their big center on the floor, let's see how Ginebra will adjust and still win the 3rd quarter. I'm confident now that Ginebra will win as no one can stop Justin Brownlee, I would not be surprise if he scores 50 points tonight.
