Bledsoe still unsigned :lol

My dude taking a big risk.

What if he gets hurt tomorrow, then no one is going to want to sign him :x
 
Doesn't surprise me. Monroe plays out the year at $5.8 million and is a UFA next year. Hell, he might even sign another one year deal and look for a much larger deal after the new CBA comes into effect.

I can't think of another player who signed a qualifying offer when their current team met their long-term contract demands monetarily. Guys always go for the money grab after the rookie contract expires, so I'm extremely surprised

Ben Jordan balked at a 5/50 offer from Chi cause he wanted more, so he doesn't meet the qualifier I threw out.

Both Lee & Robinson were playing for the Knicks who were conserving space for Lebron & others, so both guys were lowballed during negotiations so they don't meet the qualifier either

Edit: Not sure if you were directly replying to me or just stating a fact :lol

What exactly is Silver saying regarding legalized betting? Is the NBA going to be associated with betting ie you could bet on their site or a partner site?
 
I think Silver was saying that more states are gonna legalize betting on sports. Right now, I think the only state that allows it is Nevada. Maybe others do, but I'm not sure. A few years ago NJ wanted to make it legal but the NFL and others spoke out against it and went to court over it which eventually led to the courts stopping it. If it becomes legal the NBA, NFL, and other leagues will surely get into the business. According to something Darren Rovell posted, "Australian Open (tennis) owns properties that manage betting on the tournament." This is what the leagues want cause they'd make money.
 
About the haircut - I just assumed at first it was KD, but it actually looks more like Ibaka to me. If it's Serge, an extra SMH.

I would much rather bet with them than Bovada. I also don't want to have to go to Vegas every time I get that itch. I wish we could get a sportsbook at the riverboat.

Also, props to the barber on that. That just seems like going over the line of being a fan though. That seems a bit creepy IMO.
