Jake Paul Gives $10 Million Fight Offer to Draymond Green Following his indefinite suspension from NBA for smacking Jusuf Nurkic

What do think about this? Will Draymond say Yes, or No?

I think they are just making the deal because of how much the fans wanted to see it but this won't be easily happening because Green is not a fighter and he does his thing whenever his victims are in the blind spot. He cannot do that against Jake Paul, though I want to see him get beaten, he wouldn't sacrifice his career just because of the offer but let's see how this one will end up.

It's one of the hottest issues right now in the NBA and Jake Paul being the hype job, he knows how to make fans interested on him and so they make Green a offer he can't refused, (if this is true). But I'm not sure if the NBA or the Warriors will allow him to do so. I mean he is still under contract and maybe there are some stipulations that Green can't do this kind of stuff outside of the NBA. And it will be bad for him, and currently it's not about the money, but his mental state. He needs to go to counselling first and re-evaluated in the next 3 weeks and not to think about this kind of matches that might added more pressure on his side.

Money wise, that's a sure bet for Green but career wise in terms of NBA, it might affect his team, and like you said he's still
tie with the contract it is possible that he may not allow to do this kind of deal.

Though if ever there's nothing like this that may prevent him, but he should think about his future career, short-term money making opportunity
but what may happen to his career after.

Whatever decision Green may take, he should be aiming for long-term career and not just a short-term money.

Joel Embiid really went off yesterday. Scoring 51 points against a team with the best record in the NBA and likely defensive player of the year. I’m actually impressed. I was thinking it would go the other way and Embiid would struggle and his team would lose. That was one of those games people get reminded about when the MVP voting starts.

Jake Paul just trying to ride with the hot issue in the NBA. I sure he is smart, he understands that Draymond is still under contract, if NBA players that are under contract aren't allowed to play outside the league because there's a risk of getting injured, how much more a contact sport that could potentially damage the health of Draymond Green.

So nope, this is impossible to happen for now. If Jake Paul is really interested, he has to wait until Draymond Green will retire and allow him to train in boxing first to improve his punching ability. Grin

With the type of character Draymond Green has, he will say yes to it. $10 million is a good opportunity to earn more during his suspension period. But Draymond has a contract commitment to the Golden State Warriors and it is necessary to get an endorsement first in the event that he does not back down from the challenge issued by Jake. In addition to that, it is clear that the Warriors will not permit Draymond to participate in an exhibition match.

Permitting Draymond to an exhibition match will worsen his personal issues because the marketing of the match will have face offs and the public interviews will be loaded up with low level types of rubbish talking and insults.

Magic with Banchero losing against a Buttler-less Heat. Herro and the Heat's bench did a great job.

Clippers also putting on a clinic right now but let's see if they can hold out. There's still plenty of time for the Mavs to turn it around and coming back from 20 points is quite common in the NBA now. I expect Norman Powell to do another great job and scoring at least 15 points to cover for PG.

It's great that they won the game without Butler. They showed that Miami Heat can win difficult matches without its star player. Herro and Adebayo were the team's top scorers, and in general, every player in the team contributed to the score.
Haywood Highsmith also had one of his best games in a long time and was a big support to Miami's victory

Sometimes its not about everything on their star but rather how their role players and other core player play when their star is out of the game. Now we see how good they are if they could just step up and provide some quality plays to win a game.

But its just a single game also it can't prove anything yet so maybe they need more wins to convince fans that Heat can able to handle their opponent without their main star in rotation.

Still that is a good win since it can give them confidence that even without Butler in the team there are other player that can step and carry out them to get a win. They are far to take some spot but once they are consistent for sure they can reach to their target and do more better performance on upcoming Playoffs.

Probably this is one case that Herro really came up big in scoring as I will say that the team is really struggling for now as we all know that they are a new team, I mean some of their players that really contributed to their finals appearance last year was no longer with the team.

And it's just about time for Herro to step up, he had a good contract so him and Bam and Butler are the core but they need someone in the caliber of Gabe Vincent and Caleb Matin, maybe it could be Haywood Highsmith as you have said.

Herro signed a contract of $120 million for 4 years, so that's really huge. Though the contract is not as big as the main star of a team but to earn over $20 million per season, only few of the players are making that. Good thing that Herro is still with the Heat but if there are more opportunity for the Heat, I think he is a good value to trade, so he needs to keep producing for the team so the trade will happen.

How about Herro+ player/s in exchange for Lavine, is it a fair trade?

By the way, what team do you think will acquire Kenneth Lofton Jr.?

Memphis Grizzlies waive Kenneth Lofton Jr.

Jake Paul Gives $10 Million Fight Offer to Draymond Green Following his indefinite suspension from NBA for smacking Jusuf Nurkic

As we are all aware of, Draymond is suspended indefinitely and that means he'll be losing millions of dollars while he's still in suspention. The longer he's out the more money he'll be burning. Therefore, I see this offer as an opportunity for him to regain his losses and probably have his debut in exhibition fights as maybe this will be the new path he'll go once his career with the NBA is over.

What do think about this? Will Draymond say Yes, or No?

And usually Luka thrived on this kind of comeback, but then again, the Clippers is also a good team that's why he had a hard time bringing the Mavs and then Leonard and Powell, specially Kawhi, came up big in the final quarter, so great job and their winning streak continues.

Not against a good team though, at least at the current status because before the win streak, the Clippers was the center of criticism as they have 4 star players and yet they are struggling to win. Another run that Dallas made was against the OKC, they made a history on that one with a 30-0 IIRC but they didn't win that, they still fall short though.

Quote from: btc_angela on December 21, 2023, 06:27:19 AM

As for the Bulls, it's just 2 games though, maybe the absense of Lavine is doing great for the team right now. And this could be the lineup for them this season as there are news that Lavine wanted out of the Chicago Bulls and the rumor is that the Lakers is interested.

It's better if he will not come back, I think he wanted to be traded, so there's no reason the coaching staff will play him, for what? To destroy their good chemistry?

Just sad though that Lavine was touted to be their franchise player after he was traded to the Bulls, and then in the first couple of years he said he wanted to have help so they get DeRozan from San Antonio and then added players along the way.

So it might be the problem though is Lavine here, and I will say that he is not the franchise player that everyone expected him to be, maybe just another B-level player and I think DeRozan might be a perfect fit for the Bulls, sorry for the fans of Lavine here.

The winning streak continues. It was a good team performance overall and the fact that only Terance Mann is in single digit is crazy. I thought Mavs is going to take it because they came back in the third quarter but Leonard and Powell came up big in the fourth.

Do you have any idea for new poll? Let me know so I can change it. For now I'm going to change it to first 30 wins.
It may change this time because Bucks and Timberwolves are going great as well.

Well, teams like the Celtics and 76ers also have a good chance in this poll.
How about creating a new poll on whether the Pistons can extend their losing streak and set a new NBA record? The Pistons have really stood out from other teams this regular season, and now the Pistons' players only need to lose 5 more games in a row to make NBA history. Grin

Depends on @ingiltere, but the last update was the team that can make the 30 wins. And I think it's a better poll as compare to the losing streak of the Pistons, it could be historic, but I don't think that anyone is going to watch them continue their losing streak.

As for the team first team that is getting 30 wins, still the Celtics on top my head. They are playing solid, except for that minor hiccup against the Golden State.

Celtics won the last poll, they might win again as they still retain the number 1 spot overall. But let's take a look at the Bucks, they are having a good run, currently a 5 win streak and counting... who knows they could overtake the Celtics at the top, and the most surprising is the Clippers, Currently at 9 win streak and number 4 in the West, just few more wins to get that 30, for sure it's unexpected but it could happen.

The was a fake comeback, LOL.. I was thinking they'll win because I have some decent moneyline bet live when they were down by a huge margin. Can't really criticize the Clippers now, and I think it's not a good idea to bet against them as they are dominating, not the same old Clips before where they fold when they are down big and when their opponents would have a big run.

Leonard is still leading, the absence of PG wasn't felt at all.

We can really say that they already figure out the problem and know how to make their roster work right at the moment. We see how dominant Kawhi also Harden provide some quality contribution to their team so for sure we can see more cool games coming from them since they became automatically the team favorite to bet by those bettors. But even though they are having a good streak still I will think about betting on them since I will also look at the roster availability since it gives crucial points to the game. But for now its really great to see how they perform since they prove that their current stars rotation in Clippers is not a huge bust.

Let see if they can continue this since if they get more wins and continue their winning streaks then for sure it can increase their confident and they have huge chance to compete on finals.

Speaking of the Lakers they are the favorites there at -4.5 if I remember it right. But Caruso is like the energy provider for the Chicago Bulls team and whenever he is around they win games. With a bit of help from Drummond and Carter, the Bulls showed a strong team today.
That's 2 wins in a row for them now.

Can we say the struggle of Chicago is over?

They had 2 wins already, and that is against a strong teams in the NBA, first was the Sixers, now the Lakers.

This team is really good to bet on as probably they'll stay underdog going forward, and what I had notice with this team, they seemed to be sticking with their system which is making DeRozan as their main attacker, not when Lavine was still around where they shall the ball and the attempts.

Quote

Later, they will be up against the Spurs and this should be a win for them.

And they are just -4.5 against the Spurs. What is this? Is it even reasonable?

True! Tyler Herro was on flame. 3 point shots were sinking, he made 4/5 and it's actually one of the big reasons why they kept the Orlando Magic at bay.
15/29 at the three-point line for the Miami Heat, while the Magic is shooting like there's a lid in the rim.
That was @2.65 at the start of the game if you bet the Miami Heat money line which is awesome but I missed betting for singles. I added that to my parlay though that's why I grew the multi to x338. Sadly that parlay was lost due to the Lakers losing their game.
