I voted for the Celtics to win the upcoming championship. For me it's hard to see anyone else winning it as dominant as they have been and as far as I can tell, they are pretty much bringing back everyone?

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm still having some sadness that the Olympics are over already. The men's basketball tournament was so ridiculously exciting and a handful of those players being legends that we will never get to see again. For me, I liked it better than the regular season.

It was a great tourny but as a knicks fan this might be the best team they fielded since the 1990s so been waiting for the squad to get on the floor since the season ended. Glad they play Boston game one as a little check on how they stack up. October is so great for sports...

I didn’t really care about the Olympics to be honest. That woman’s rugby highlight was the only good part for me. I probably won’t watch the Olympics again unless they stop letting men compete in women’s sports.

Somewhere Anthony Edwards is stretching his legs and hoping he gets the chance to posterize Bronny for a Sportscenter highlight.

Aaron Gordon getting himself 133 million over the next three years. Not bad. Denver is doing the best they can at trying to lock up their core.

Good to hear that for him. Because it seems that the news prior to his signing is that he won't get a good amount in there.

But this is a good job for the Nuggets, and this is well deserved by Aaron Gordon himself for helping them in his ways.

NBA rising star Alperen Şengün signed a 5-year, $185 million contract with the Houston Rockets. This shows how much the Rockets organization trusts him and plans the future with him. Congratulations to Alperen Şengün on his new contract. He becomes the highest paid Turkish athlete with this contract.

Congrats to him as well. There are a lot of new faces and rookies that have taken good contracts together with his.

Alperen Sengun got a 5 year 185 extension with last year being a player option. I believe the player option will probably not be used and he will ask for a bigger contract after four years. Think about it, this player looks like the best player in Houston right now, and the contract shows how great future he has as well, he didn2t get the max, I do not know why the team didn't offer, but I also do not know why Alperen accepted neither, maybe injury risk?

Considering all the tax and the agent fee and so forth he will have ot pay, that should come down to more like 20-25 million a year and that is still great but he could have rounded that up to 30 if he got the max. I believe after 4 years, he is going to look so great that he will have a max contract and he will make 50+ a year, which is not really that shocking considering how things are looking at the moment for the salaries around the league.

Paul george amd embiid are already out lol. Not a fan of injuries but I have a feeling this is going to be a common theme for the 76ers the next couple of years...

Huge start for the Knicks. Get to roll out the new squad against the defending Champs. What better time than game 1 to test out the squad. Been waiting ever since June and it's back finally. Go knicks.

I just read that Bronny's 17 point performance the other day was the highest scoring outing in the preseason by a 55th+ pick in the last 15 years. Maybe not the most impressive stat, but it shows that Bronny might actually deserve to be where he's at. We'll see when the season starts I guess, but for going as far down as he did in the draft he has changed the conversation with that 17 point performance.

Just heard this will be the first time in the league's history there will be a father and son duo playing in a regular season game.
It had been done before but was baseball with Ken Griffey jr and sr back in the 1990s who will be in attendance at the game along with many other celebrities.

Tonight is the night they break history supposedly. I’m not sure how exciting this historical moment will be, but it’s cool for LeBron to be living out one of his dreams. I think it will probably end up hurting them or even costing them the game, but I don’t think they’re expected to win anyway, so we’ll see how it ends up going for them.

Why not? He is a great player with passing capability, a playmaker, and more. I think it's just the right price considering how much players are being paid right now.

Guys, if you have some bets, please do share them in this other thread by @stadus.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5091185.15620
It will be nice to see other's perspectives about the game and since the season is starting, you might as well post your picks there. Who knows? I will gladly tail some good picks as long as it has good insights about the game.
Sometimes I am lazy about looking at both teams and would be really helpful if some of us could share their thoughts and insights about how the game will end and the results. Let's keep the NBA discussion clean with discussions and fill the NBA betting with our picks.
Hope to see you there.

Ok, I guess we have seen by now that Gordon got a good contract extension already. So there will be no speculation whatsoever that he will be leaving the team. And I think it's a good decision by the Nuggets management as they can make another run, with Jokic, Murray, Porter Jr and then Gordon, now they have Westbrook as well.

So it's really a good move by the Nuggets and then didn't let go of one of the two way and elite defenders in that position.

And from time to time, Gordon gives us the show when his dunking ability that he had in the beginning of his career that's why he is a fan favorite as well in Denver.

I never believed he would leave to be fair. He found himself there, while he is still good at dunking, he is being left open quite few times a game so he would shoot as well, and he is playing great defense as well. He is not responsible to be the best player in the team, Jokic is the best one and Murray is the co-captain so I would assume Gordon would be third, even at days when MPJ plays great we can say Gordon even drops to fourth, and in those cases the low responsibility and the amount of free time he gets, is great for him.

He never trusts what they should be doing and we should consider how we could do whatever we could do. Gordon definitely wanted to stay, but if he was offered lower than what he deserved then he would have to accept in case another team offered more. Now he just got an offer which would be as best as he could get, as a third or even at days fourth piece for this team, this type of offer is definitely a huge offer and he should be happy about it.

Previously, names like Mehmet Okur, Hedo Türkoğlu, Ersan İlyasova have made it big in the NBA, but Alperen Şengün will be the most successful Turkish basketball player at the end of his career.

Alperen Şengün signed a 5-year contract with the Houston Rockets. With this contract, the Turkish star Alperen Şengün has become the athlete who signed the largest contract in Turkish sports history. I believe Alperen has a bright future, but I don't think it was the right decision for the Rockets to risk so much money for Alperen already. I guess they believe Alperen could become a player close to Jokic's level.

In this case, if the Nuggets is going to offer, could be not max contract as well with Gordon because they have other priorities like Jokic and Murray.

Gordon has to realize that the Nuggets already had Jokic and Murray leading the way before he arrived. In fact, during his first season with them, he had his struggles but was given the chance to grow his game. There’s no denying that his presence has really strengthened their defense, but he can't demand a max contract if it means jeopardizing the team's future. No matter how you look at it, the team has its priorities: Jokic is number 1, and Murray is second.

Later will be the tipoff of the NBA regular season, finally, after a long wait.

The Boston Celtics will be playing at home against the New York Knicks. This is a good test of strength for both sides. Let's see if the Knicks could some how show their fans that they really have a winning chance against the defending champions.

Yeah, it will be good to see a different Knicks team with Towns and Brunson now as the new leader to go against the defending champions. Boston didn't have that much change and for sure they are looking for a repeat this season. Back to back won't be that bad as they have the best duo, Tatum and Brown. Although there is one drawback as KP is not going to play as he is recovering from injuries the last time I read. Last season there was a lot of promise from the Orlando Magic, but I guess the lack of experience really took a tool on them. But with KCP experience, playing with the Lakers and then winning with the Nuggets, he might really push the young players to performed at their peak. So let's see how it goes, fans are waiting for the season and it's time to bet again.

Yeah, I also saw that news, I do remember that we have discussing his case as well, but 133 million is a huge amount of money and with that, the core is going to be intact for the Nuggets and for sure they will go at it for another run this year. They just feel short last year as obviously they are tired trying to case a good record going into the playoff and was lucky to win against the Lakers in the 1st round.

For KAT, it looks like him and Brunson has settled already, KAT doing his outside shot and assist coming from Jalen. Obviously, we wanted to see how deep the Knicks can get into the playoff and they have traded the last remnants of the old version of NYK and that is Julius Randle.

Let's see if how effective KAT might be in the regular season, how the chemistry between him and Brunson will work for the entire team, while with Boston who doesn't have that much movement with their system still the same core that will going to play.

One team that might surprise them, and could be a dark horse is Orlando Magic. They gave the Cavaliers a hard time in the first round of the playoffs last year going to Game 7 and I didn't even expect them to reach the playoffs at all because of their young roster but they proved many wrong, they can win games and with the addition of KCP, they will have a good defender against backcourt dependent teams.

With KCP working with those young stars it would be nice sharing his championship experienced, Magic needs that sentiment to boost up the entire squad, they already surprise their fans last season they might be showing more this upcoming one.

That’s great news for him! It’s not a massive deal, but getting to play for an already proven team—what more could he ask for? So, no more speculations about this one, and with that, we can say the Denver Nuggets are all set for next season.

looking at their payroll, he is still at the number 4 in terms of salary ranking.

We'll see when the season starts I guess, but for going as far down as he did in the draft he has changed the conversation with that 17 point performance.

It would seem that 17 points with such a poor field goal percentage would not surprise anyone, but still, we should give Bronny credit because no one expected such a performance from him. This shows that he is gradually gaining experience and improving his skills, so his future in the NBA isn't quite as hopeless as it may have seemed at first. But at the same time, we shouldn't expect that Bronny will be able to repeat the path of Isaiah Thomas, who was selected with the 60th draft pick.

I honestly don't see any slight chances about Bronny being able to achieve what Isaiah had, at least currently with what we've seen of his performance all throughout the preseason including the summer league. That 17 pts game maybe be impressive for a 55th pick overall, but he's actually shooting more and it's below 50%. I can't deny the fact that he could do that because LeBron is his father. But, dont get me wrong, I'm not hating against the kid, in fact I am wishing he'd change the narratives as the regular season progresses.
