I’ve heard the Suns are trying desperately to get one more piece.

Miles Bridges was the latest rumor. Do they even have enough to give up for trades?

Thanasis? What is he doing on the league? He isn't even playing, and the team don't need him aside from him being a cheerleader for his younger brother. Cheesy

He plays sometimes and he's actually funny when he's on the court. You can watch some of his "lowlights" on youtube. It should be obvious to everyone that he's not an NBA level player so it's purely a business decision for the Bucks to keep him on their roster.

I don't know about his figures but that's for sure that he's still bagged a lot of money during his entire career run. But if it's with spending habits that are too bad for him, there's no help with that.

Most of them will realize that they did the wrong thing when they're on their peak of their careers. But then, after all of those bad spending habits or when he's a giver to all of his relatives, he gets back nothing.

Poor guy, but I hope that there's a redirection and will still have some opportunities that will come for him.

Based on what I'm seeing online, it seems like he's playing in the G-league currently (under Maine Celtics).

Also, if the only thing that matters to him is that retiree benefits plan, he can still get signed next season. 10-day contracts aren't that heavy for teams, especially for those who need players right now. If not only for the CBA, Snell would've played in the NBA now. He can still have other options just in case the NBA doesn't want to sign him, but it's a good sign that he's starting his career again at the G-league despite him having autism.

If he's going to play in the G League, will that affect that benefit for himself and his family? Also, if he signs next season, won't it be affecting that plan as well?

Because with what I am reading, that's the reason why they need him to sign asap last week because of the deadline that he won't be eligible anymore for that benefit if he's not signed until last Friday.

I also saw that the Bucks must sign him, and waive Thanasis which is very funny, but kind of true. Just so you know, Tony Snell has a career where he just went "cardio" for 20+ minutes. No statsat all, and the only thing he did was run on the court. Cheesy

. Thanasis? What is he doing on the league? He isn't even playing, and the team don't need him aside from him being a cheerleader for his younger brother. Cheesy

Haha, Thanasis our guy.

They've been in losing streak when the change of coach has happened. He's the million dollar guy that's hired to hire his brother. But seriously, he's drafted first by the New York Knicks so maybe he's really got the talent but then Bucks just seen better deal with him.

I’m also a little surprised we haven’t seen any big moves in the trade market yet. The deadline is quickly going to come and go. I’ve heard the Suns are trying desperately to get one more piece.

I am also waiting for some of the big trades just to see if there are real with the rumors that have been there lately.
But as you've said, none of them hasn't come so I think that it's just best to go on with these rumors and take it as something that won't happen.
And we've got just a few day/s left for the trade deadline so maybe at the exact deadline, we'll see.

The chances of the Los Angeles Clippers winning a ring this season? Very high.

That team had won 26 of their last 31 games and I don't think they will stop right there. And if ever they win this thing, it will be a mountain of joy for both the franchise and the players in it.
Paul George's first championship. Russell Westbrook will finally get a ring. James Harden too. And then Kawhi Leonard who will win three rings for three different teams.
But to do that, they will need to keep themselves healthy. Kawhi Leonard now averaging 34 minutes which is good, Paul George is almost 34 minutes too, and I think their chemistry is on the top level now. Finishing it strong will always be the big question because of their injury history.

Yeah, It looks like James Harden have finally found a team that perfectly fits and compliments his style of play. So far so good for the team and the chemistry keeps improving. The only thing that they really need to maintain is to keep being healthy all throughout until the end of the post season. Nevertheless, the true test on how strong this team are will be in the playoffs. The only teams I can think of which will be a huge challenge for them in the playoffs are the Denver Nuggets and the Phoenix Suns, other than this two teams they can pretty much handle them. I mean the Thunder, Timberwolves, or the Kings are relatively young in terms of playoffs experience compared to the caliber of Haden, Westbrook, PG, and Kawhi. These 4 are a playoffs veteran, though most of them doesn't have a championship, but pretty much been into the bigger stage. IMO, most of the time experience will be a great factor when playing in the playoffs.

I'm thinking of betting on the Bucks tomorrow. Perhaps they were able to rest after that loss to the Jazz, it was a disappointing loss because they ran out of gas in the 4th quarter, so Giannis will find a way to bounce back and get a win.

Moneyline,
Suns - 1.62
Bucks - 2.36

That's a good one for you. It's rare to see Bucks as underdog like that with Giannis playing.

Quote from: Ziskinberg on February 06, 2024, 08:46:36 AM

I don't see anyone from the Suns team can stop Giannis in the paint, for the Suns to win, they need to keep their 3 point shooting at a high level which I believe the Bucks knows how to limit them on that area.

Are the Bucks that good at defending now? They are probably just at the same level on defense so it will come down to scoring more. I bet both teams will score at least 110 points.

I thought it was odd the Bucks are underdogs as well. I didn’t think the Suns were playing that great of basketball lately.

I’m also a little surprised we haven’t seen any big moves in the trade market yet. The deadline is quickly going to come and go. I’ve heard the Suns are trying desperately to get one more piece.

Their last 3 games (2 this year and 1 last year) was all won by the Bucks, so I'm trusting that trend and believe that the Bucks are going to make it an interesting game, if they fall short at least covering the handicap is possible.

The performance of the Bucks against that Utah Jazz was not good at all. At least it could have been more competitive. It felt like they had just accepted their fate and given up. I hope it is not going to be like that against the Phoenix Suns. Bucks do have some incredible performances by Giannis and Portis. But the problem is that the Utah Jazz performed really well as a team. And you cannot beat a team by just having two solo performances.

But as you said I think they have a good chance to win against Phoenix Suns. So I hope they will be confident going into that match.

I think that could be possible, with both teams scoring at least 110, safe bet. Because both of the teams are going to be very interested in winning this one. And I also do not think Giannis is actually going to be stopped by the Phoenix Suns properly in this game. So there is a big chance that he is going to go crazy in the next game. What is the plan from Phoenix Suns do you guys think? Because if they cannot stop him, it is definitely going to be very hard for them to actually win this match.

What happened to the Lakers? Grin

I mean, they've been winning more often lately, and they've even improved their spot in the standings a little bit. The surprising thing is also that LeBron and Davis are becoming more and more active on the court, as well as players like Reaves and Russell. By the way, LeBron recently had a triple-double against the Warriors, and now Davis has a triple-double against the Hornets. Have they finally found their rhythm?

With this kind of games recently, they are holding their position well and not giving up on trying their luck to win playoff games if ever they manage to enter the playoff tournament without worrying about the play-in knockout rounds like last time. But right now, they should prefer their plan to beat the Denver Nuggets because that's when they hit the wall when they are against the Nuggets they don't have enough players to counter their offense and great defense since LBJ is slowing down, they are now in need of more players to survive that round unlike before.

Maybe they found their chemistry already and after a good rest, Lebron and AD is back with full of confidence and so they are back in winning track. Although they just beaten a team that is below in the standing. But a win is a win and so it might have created motivation for them. So let's see if they faces tough team specially from the West like the Nuggets which is like some sort of kryptonite for them. LBJ might be slowing down, but he can still score and lead the Lakers in the court. Austin Reaves and D'Lo seems to be also better right now and I do not see anyone of them being traded.

They need to win that's why they win. 3 win streak now, it started with the Big upset against the Celtics, then Knicks and now the Charlotte Hornets. These two (knicks and Hornets) are not a huge challenge for them but beating the Celtics without AD and Lebron is something. I believe they have a talented roster, defense is their strenght since they aren't good 3 point shooters, except for that game against the Celtics.

Chemistry is necessary, but the ball has to be shared well, Lebron and AD taking 80% of the scoring is not good, maybe 50% for them and the rest is for their teammates. Whatever, hehe. it's up to them but they should not totally rely on AD and Bron, especially Bron who is already old.

They are the same team, still very inconsistent until now. Winning games doesn't mean they are getting what they are expecting, because currently their ranking is still bad. Number 9 in standing, they might have to play the play-in tournament if they'll not reach the top 6 rank (at least).

By the way, LeBron recently had a triple-double against the Warriors, and now Davis has a triple-double against the Hornets.

But that was against a non playoff team, at least based on standing now as the Warriors are also struggle failing to reach .500 win rate. They need to be more consistent. Right now they are on a 3 win streak, 6-4 on their last team, already good but still not impressive yet.

I hope so. But once trade happened, that might affect their chemistry again as they'll make a huge adjustment.

Mavericks winning against Sixers without Joel Embiid. I thought that the Sixers are going to pull with a big win here against Luka as the game is in this homecourt and Maxey putting up a great performance previously same with Tobias Harris. And in the first 2 quarters, that's what we have seen, but Maxey goes into foul trouble, although they played good defense on Kyrie till the first half. But a scorer like Kyrie can't be denied, as he lead the comeback in the 3rd quarter and continue early in the 4th. Grant Williams and Jaden Hardy capped a 10-0 Dallas run early in the fourth quarter and the Mavs soon pulled away. And that was enough for the others to also hit their 3 point shot, confidence are high and never give the chance to the home team. And it's really hard for the Sixers to win without their MVP. They might be the underdog against the Warriors next, as Golden State just won their game.

I'm thinking the same. Actually, I was looking for a gambling site that still offers championship odds so I could bet on this team now.
This was updated last Jan. 30, 2024. The odds was +600 (https://www.covers.com/nba/finals/odds)..
I find it very attractive, because the way they are playing now, they seemed to be a problem by the top teams in the league.

What I can say is, Clippers has been dominating, it doesn't matter if they play a back to back game, or on the road, the energy they have is the same and they always came to win.

Even against an offensive team like the Atlanta Hawks which they defeated just earlier, they can answer back and forth with them which means they can do both ends against any team in the league.
Their next stop will be up against the New Orleans Pelicans. I think they are going to win this one again. They are now on their 4th winning streak.

Lebron James is 39 years old and his career is not long anymore. with high contracts and salaries it will be difficult for new clubs to accommodate him. because there are salary cap rules, aka there is a maximum budget limit for each club that can be spent. so if there is a club that wants Lebron James, they have to sell or throw away their star players so that the salary cap spot is there to accommodate Lebron James.

In terms of having someone like him to their roster before his retirement is like some sort of history. But what most teams like to have history is to win championships. Each team has their own franchise and best player that they can have and give the salary cap.
While it is not going to give Lebron that much benefit but AFAIK, this is just a rumor and won't happen.

I also think that no matter how much you pay for a player like Lebron, you make that money back easily. Since there is a cap on how much a player could get, in order to make sure that other players get paid decently as well, and there is a cap on minimum, so that no player gets too little and make it a bit more equal.

This causes players like Lebron to get paid not enough, and teams who pay the maximum they could offer him, would get that money back. Just the fact that you would get sold out seats, with probably higher ticket prices, for people who will come out to see him. This means that if he ever decides to leave, then he is going to end up making a team a lot of money, even increase the value of the team for a while as well.

After the defeat in Philadelphia, Utah Jazz defeated Milwaukee 123-108 at home. Their next game will be at home against Oklahoma, but Oklahoma is in great form and Utah has a tough job. Oklahoma's away record is pretty good.
Boston beat Memphis on its own field by a different score of 131-91.
In their last 8 games, Boston lost to Los Angeles teams at home.
It's like Boston is allergic to Los Angeles teams. It was surprising to me that they lost to both the Clipppers and the in-form Lakers.

It's surprising to me that Boston are still the overwhelming favourites when it comes to the NBA championship market.

On BetFair Boston is still [email protected] to win the championship which implies >20% probability that they will win the chip. I don't think that that is a fair price. The Clippers price have closed in slightly lately now at about 8.2 but still not enough, especially when the team has been on a tear and ranks first in power ranking for 2 weeks in a row now.

Milwaukee odds have blown out slightly to [email protected], that looks more fair than Boston imo.
