Talking about signing new contracts, Bradley Beal agrees to sign a 4-year 130M deal with the Washington Wizards. That's another big money for a player. This is the current trend for most players now, get paid well in your best years so that it's okay to get minimum when you want to chase a ring and join a championship team.

Washington Wizards don't have much options, after all he is their best player. I feel a bit sorry for them, few years ago they were promising team, but they really messed themselves up with that god awful John Wall contract and i don't see them sorting that anytime soon. And on top of that, John Wall will most likely miss whole 2019/2020 season.
Tough few years ahead of Wizards

I also heard of this news and also saw this on facebook. Congratulations to the man! It is well-deserved. Although for me, I think he needs to work on his talents with some other teams, but I guess he is the guy that does not chase championships. So it's only for cash. Although you can't blame him, he worked hard to carry the name of the Wizards.

Will Melo be able to sign this year? As for me, YES. I pick YES because I think no one will bet for it based on the current Melo's situation that is almost no development or progress if some teams will still show interest to sign him. So basically, I'm the one who has the most risks here.

BTC0.005 each for first 2 who will take the bet.

This is very interesting, so this means we will know who will win by January 1, 2020? I like to reserve that first slot then if the answer to my question is yes. I will bet against you. Grin

DEAL. Quoted for reference.

My chances are until December 31, 2019: 23:59. Let's follow the BITCOINTALK FORUM TIME.

1 more taker open.

Quote from: Reid on October 17, 2019, 11:53:45 AM

But as for my own opinion, I dont think he will be signed with any team.
Who will take the risk having a player who aint that good with D.

I think so too. I even think that Melo is done now.

No progress, no rumors, even no have memes, totally don't have any update about his future.

I just want to have a risky bet.

90M is a good price already. So many entitled players pushing their luck even though they haven't proven much yet. I wonder if the Kings' ticket sales is good enough for these players to demand more.

That aside, I haven't watch any of the Kings games since the time of C-Web, Mike Bibby, Vlade, Doug, Peja.

Yeah i agree that 90M is already a lot of money, but it is a sellers market, hence all those crazy salaries. Question is, can they get someone better at this position for that money in free agency, as Hield played really good last season, he is still young and developing...

There is only 1 answer and that is to max hield out. Right now Sacramento isnt pulling in any free agents so the only thing they can rely on to be competitive is to draft well and when 1 or 2 of those hit like hield you have to pay them. Otherwise they will live on the bottom end of the western conference. Hield is young and good. I've seen plenty of other guys get paid with no reason to pay them, hield is not that guy.

Buddy Hield was the only player not named Curry or Klay that had a high usage rate and had high three point attempts while still shooting on a decent %, he deserves every single penny he is given and should be maxed out no matter what the amount is, you can't give a guy like that too much money because he is still young and he is still learning a lot from playing and he is already good so it is only going to get better.

He deserved to be maxed out he's averaging 20+ points per game and he's really a good three pointer that is staying at 42% figures. And I want to point out the bold word, "young." I really think that he is already in his prime or very soon to reach it but I guess that he needs to stay in the team for like 5 years to be maxed out. Please correct me if I'm wrong but that's how I know it.

I think that max Sacramento can give him is 170/5 years, while other teams can offer him max 4 years for 130M. But from what i read, he doesn't even want max deal, he would settle for less than that, but only 90m/4 years is not good enough for elite 3 pts shooter in best years. Just to put things into perspective ,he is currently at 41.9% average 3 pts shooting, and that makes him ranked 6th on list of best NBA 3pts shooter of all time (among players that had at least as many 3pts shot attempts as him).

It would be crazy from Sacramento not to give him those 110/4 years that he asked for, that is fair price for current market situation, as he can easily get more from others.

Sorry for bringing this up Reid lol. I want to talk about the Manager of the rockets and LeBron James.

About the Manager of the rockets, I actually love what he did for the people of Hongkong. Dude, everyday is chaos at that place and so what if you have personal opinion for that? Why is it they are generalizing the whole NBA community because of that opinion. So what?

LeBron, well, I don't know why did a king bow down? Why? Is it because China is a good country for businesses? And a single opinion can massacre the business while people in Hongkong is suffering?

As I said, he does have his own opinion and so is Lebron.
We will not get anywhere when we talk about politics. All of us have our own kind of thinking about it. Some may disagree and some may agree.
Better leave it to them for now specially in this thread where we talk about the NBA Season and the players specially.

Carmelo Anthony’s defense reportedly another reason he remains unsigned

I have to agree with this. Dude never played good defense, I think about the majority on his career.

But again, not a reason at all to just left him hanging. Melo already said that he is willing to adjust this time. Willing to accept any roles. Even willing to accept a veteran salary or sort of pay-cut on his usual.

Guys, just for a changed, who wants to bet against me?

Will Melo be able to sign this year? As for me, YES. I pick YES because I think no one will bet for it based on the current Melo's situation that is almost no development or progress if some teams will still show interest to sign him. So basically, I'm the one who has the most risks here.

Hmmm, I dont have much of the guts to take this bet. Lol.
But as for my own opinion, I dont think he will be signed with any team.

He should really sign somewhere else and showcase his skills.

Kings have a good solid core as well so having Hield as the milestone of that roster would make a ton of difference for them, they will not be a contender for years unless something changes but he would be difference between a tanking for picks team versus a team that is looking to be a playoff team. Playoff teams make much more money as well so he deserves to get paid.

Yep, well said. Buddy Hield is 20 pts per game player, with 40%+ 3pts shooting on high usage, 25 yo, so he is entering into his best years. And those kind of players you will have to pay, if not you, someone else will gladly give him 110M/4 years. And somehow i doubt that Kings can attract some good free agents.
It would be smart to keep Bogdanovic too, he is also still developing.

From the current poll (with 16 votes), Lakers are leading which is understandable.

I picked Clippers and the darkhorse for next season could be Nuggets.

I wonder which team the people who voted "others" were thinking, Blazers perhaps?

Probably Brooklyn, even though their powerhouse isn't yet full because of Kevin Durant's absence, it is still a powerful team. Just like the Clippers, before Kawhi and PG came they have the bench power and they have a lot of powerful role players on their team. I just thought that if DLO will leave the team, Spencer would be the first five point guard of the team. Instead of him, Kyrie became the star but still this is a powerful team. As I was saying they are like Clippers, a team of role players that made it to playoffs and was added by 2 superstars but this one was added by another star.

Bucks is third on the list mate.

Raptors could still pose a threat to the three eastern teams on the voting list. Despite Leonard leaving, they still have a decent squad.

Sacramento Kings offered Buddy Hield 4 years/90M deal, but seems like he is looking for 4y/110M deal. Even tho those numbers are crazy, I think that Kings should give him those 110M,

Sacramento Kings offered Buddy Hield 4 years/90M deal, but seems like he is looking for 4y/110M deal. Even tho those numbers are crazy, I think that Kings should give him those 110M, he is worth it. And on top of that, they offered Bogdan Bogdanovic 4 y/51.4M, but allegedly he is considering to wait and test his luck in free agency.

I really hope they keep both of those players, Kings were interesting team to watch.

Between Mavs and Blazers to win the NBA championship, I'll go for the Blazers too. I think the Mavs is a playoff contender thos coming season but not a title contender.

Same here, Blazers are a pretty good team and they have their 2nd that can step up anytime and in addition they are very efficient with their offense that's why we can expect a high scoring game if they play in any team as long as they will dictate the tempo.

Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum are the best duo in the NBA, hopefully you'll agree, and they are very comfortable with their position that's why they are helping each other to give a win for the team.

Their latest game against the Jazz where they won.
https://www.covers.com/pageLoader/pageLoader.aspx?page=/data/nba/results/2019-2020/boxscore1006675.html

Lillard scored 25 while McCollum scored 28 points and that's both playing 29 minutes.

This is not a good way to start the season for the Celtics. We have seen how reports like this have affected locker rooms and team performance.

It's a pretty good offer imo. He is good for sure but not irreplacable.

I saw some comments on youtube and facebook about the Mavs fans believed they have a shot to win the finals.
Well, everything is possible. They have Doncic (which leads the Mavs last season) and they have Porzingis (which is the next Dirk), I can tell theres a potential but not now, maybe in the next 4 years if they choose to stay with the Mavs.

I'm leaning towards Blazers though, I think last year's game against GSW has given them experience that can push them this season. The team still looks solid with Dame and CJ still one of the best duo's today.

While Mavs will still have to work on their chemistry with Porzingis. It takes time to blend, while Blazers have been thru tough times all together in the last 2 years.

Blazers has been consistent in the playoffs, they are building a great system and every season Dame and CJ are improving.
Also, they have 2 good big man that will help them boost their defense, whiteside and Nurkic are both dominant in the post and let's hope that they will remain healthy so their chances will increase.

I think this move is appropriate for him since he has greatly improve and he could get more that the Celtic's offer once he become a free agent next season.
