I am again impressed with the performance that Antetokoumpo displayed in the game against Bulls.
38 points with 16 rebounds he is again the MVP for Buck this season for sure. If he keeps scoring like that he will be surely the MVP of regular season and why not this time in the play offs as well.

Agreed. Most of the games of Bucks, this guy always score a lot and one of the player that keeping them alive especially in crucial time. Aside from Lakers team, Bucks is also one of the team that can advanced to the final as their standing is 8 - 3 same with other team such as Miami, Toronto, Denver, Rockets, and Jazz. While Boston takes the top spot in all followed by Lakers.

Agreed dude is a man among boys sometimes out on the court. When he is playing it's easy to see he is pretty much the best one on the court almost every game. I difinately think if everyone stays healthy the bucks come out of the east. Now matched up against one of the west powerhouses, that will be a good finals.

The Bucks is still an immature team compared to more veteran team, they will most likely choke during playoffs or even in a crucial matches. I think they will reach the finals only if they can acquire veteran players who can lead them during clutch times.

Hey mate. Looks like I have won.

A sign, whatever the offer, is still a sign.

Carmelo Anthony to sign with Portland Trail Blazers

Anyways, we can wait until we see Melo playing actually on the court before we finished this deal so these reports and agreements are not just a pure statement.

Congratulations on your bet guys, that was a good run for you I guess. Congratulations to our boy Melo too.

There are some good games tonight to get some value in parlays. I am taking the Pacers to cover the +6 and for a underdog I'm going with the Thunder to upset the 76ers. I'll take Pacers +6, OKC ML, Jazz ML, Celtics ML for a small outlay of $20 and return $156.36

Now, Melo has the opportunity to silence all existing criticism. If he proves successful in Portland, then he can extend his career even longer. I'm really happy for Melo finally getting another shot. I believe he still got plenty left in his tank. Prove them wrong Melo!

I hope he values this chance given to him and accepts his role. Most probably he will be coming out from the bench and we all know his attitude towards that before.

Yeah. and I think Frontcourt is one of the sources of the Portland problem because Collins, Nurkic, and Gasol are still absent due to injury, leaving Whiteside, which is only his main focus. Some players have adapted to today's NBA games that emphasize Three-Point Shooting and Spacing The Floor. Melo has also tried to become an Off-Ball Scorer while in OKC and Houston.
-

Scoring-wise would not be a problem on Melo, defense is the part where he is weak but i think the Blazers need a guy who can score while most of their Frontcourt is not playing due to injury. In the elimination, Melo will be an asset but come playoffs he will be a some sort of a liability because of his defense but then again thanks to the Blazers for giving this guy a chance and who knows this might be a lucky season for Melo.

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.

The reason why I trust PG will play amazingly with Kawhi is that the whole team of clippers is a team built around being not better than the other team but working harder than the other team, with addition of kawhi+pg they became better than the other team AND work harder which makes them an all around team, so PG will be willing to accept that.

Plus, this dude played with Westbrook for couple years, one of the most (if not THE most) ball hog players in the whole league, dude literally tried his hardest to average triple double every single year and PG was okay with it because he just wanted to fit in and win games instead of ruining something that was already working. PG will always have a lot of points and a great defense but he will not force it, he will just have it because dude is talented.

I really like the idea of the Trailblazers getting Carmelo Anthony as their wingman. It's like this, whenever Portland is hitting playoffs they are playing like they need some extra help cause dame and mccollum are being doubled most of the time. And with another man getting some shots that is wide open, it's lights out. And besides, in Houston, taking a mid range is a sin. Here in Portland, they're allowed to do so.

Paul George makes his debut for the Clippers against New Orleans Pelicans, it's a good news for the Clippers. with Lou Williams Leonard Khawi and Paul George they can make a good season even they can go soo far and win the NBA title.

His debut game with the Pelicans right now end up with a loss as they lost against NOP 132-127 although he did a great job alongside with Williams with both of them have 33 & 31 points respectively.

That is an exceptional performance from PG. 33 points 9 Rebounds within 24 minutes. It does not look like an output from someone coming from an injury. What would it be like for the Clippers when Kawhi and PG are playing together already? This will be fun to watch.

But that is not really good. We are talking about professionals who went to a lot of hardships to claim the position now.

Let's forget about Melo and Dwight a bit and use a young and upcoming player as an example. If he is good enough for the team, he will be drafted and will get a guaranteed contract. If he isn't good for the team but the management thinks there's a 50-50 chance that the player can improve, the non-guaranteed contract can be used by the team and see if it will work out or not. If it works, he'll get a better contract. If it doesn't, then that player has to work even harder. That is still fair for both parties.

If we're going to talk about veterans who're getting non-guaranteed contracts now, remember that they once had a guaranteed contract and earned a lot from it. They already got paid a good amount of money for their hard work.

Are you really fine with that system?

https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/michael-jordan-doesnt-agree-with-players-sitting-out-due-to-load-management-youre-paid-to-play-82-games/

Even MJ disagree's with it, therefore this load management has to be reviewed by the NBA as it might affect the reputation of the business and the sales might go down, you know what saying. Grin

Leonard sits in many games during his tenure with the Raptors, but there was no criticism on that, maybe people just got tired of seeing it because Leonard is more visible now since he has become a superstar in the NBA and no doubt about that.

This rules has to be reviewed, that's my say.

So what the nba will make a list of players that have to play a certain amount of minutes every night. There are some bench players that dont play at all. So there will actually be a list with players names, and a required minutes per game on this supposed list. It will NEVER happen sorry. Baseball gives star players rest. We talking about baseball non contact sport. NBA is a tough game and takes a lot out of you. Whether you like it or not sitting a player will never become illegal in the sport.

Come on man, they are professionals of course they know their roles in the team and that would make them grow as a team and as a teammate.

There are also other professionals who doesn't follow their rule, they want to lead a team and they want to be called as the main man, but PG is different because he was very effective playing in the OKC before and its only westbrook who had a very bad season.

I can only think of one NBA player that looks like does not know how to cooperate with his teammate, and I believe its Carmelo Anthony which was a star but until now he was not signed in any team yet.

Quote from: Ranly123 on November 15, 2019, 04:54:01 AM

PG is not someone that a kind of player who takes the game without concerning about the teams goals. I mean this guys we're talking about want to win championship and all he needs to do is to cooperate with his teammates.

He hasn't won an MVP award yet but we know he plays like an MVP, when he is needed he always perform like what he did during his time with the Pacers if you still remember. I believe he was not the main man back then but he develop to become a star in the team.

His performance is worth for what he was now, and as the improvement move along his journey with the team I think he had a greatest asset to become an MVP. Although there's an impression that he used to have skills that an MVP had, I guess it's always possible to happen in the next upcoming games that he would about to play. That's how it works when this guy rules the court, so let's see what this man can do to make his team worthy for championship.

Woops! Sounds like the same deal with Dwight Howard if I am not mistaken.
A daily contract? What is happening with the NBA? Why are they doing this kind of deals with professionals.
Is Melo really that bad for him to be in probationary period?
I dont think so. The guy is being too underrated. There are more players there which is not better than him and yet then have yearly contracts.

But as you said, it may be his last chance for redemption. Time to practice more and let them see what he is capable of.

Those guys are kind of in the later stage of their careers and these type of contracts benefits both to management in case they want to terminate immediately and to the player who wants to prove himself again. I think this is also needed to bring some players who once had an inflated ego back to earth.

I wasn't expecting the signing to be the honest since both Dame and CJ are good to play. This may turn out good for the Blazers since they're struggling at the moment.

It is hard to understand what's on Melo's mind right now. He is rich and is not young. But he still wants to continue playing professional basketball. Maybe he feels he needs to prove something? But his recent resume, is doesn't sound good. I hope he just retires. Or at least he should not accept daily contracts. It is degrading.

It's his chance now to show that he still has that skills to help a team, he also needs to understand that he will not be leading the team now, CJ is still the main man of the team and he was just sign to help a team which is struggling early this season.

Right to the point.
I guess that is what management really want. They could just fire them whenever they want and get another guy with the same contract.
But that is not really good. We are talking about professionals who went to a lot of hardships to claim the position now.
It is just that, they lack the boost to make them a champion player with a lot of fire to play the game.

Melo is still someone who could make changes with the game. It is just that analysts made him a bad player.
