Re: 2019 Offseason Thread

Vegas odds for the Clippers at even money. Toronto in second, Lakers in third. Is this based on money put down in these teams?

Via twitter: "When your bet is graded “no action,” it means that your sportsbook has canceled all wagers on a particular line. This means that no bets will be graded, whether they’re winners or losers." This is likely last week's odds that Vegas shut down and hasn't updated the odds.


Those odds you're talking about said "no action" just FYI

You destroyed (fixed heh) my quote but I get what you're saying. I'm starting to hear that same explanation on the radio that you posted. Thanks.

Re: 2019 Offseason Thread

I just saw a Chris Smoove video about Durant’s number being retired. Is that confirmed? For three years service to the Warriors that seems crazy. They’re going to have a LOT of retired numbers from this era. 9, 11, 23, 30, 35. Probably even 34.

Nah the owner didn't say it's retired, he said as long as he's there, nobody else will wear the number 35

Re: 2019 Offseason Thread

I love what the Clips have done...

but it's easy to get stuck in that "plucky playoff team who scraps into the playoffs" limbo and fade away real quick...we've fell in love with those teams time and time again.

It's a superstars league, and I dont personally think they're that rare exception that can win much without one. Theres no shame whiffing this summer (if they do]..they set themselves up for success...but I'm not necessarily sold on their bright future as is either.

I feel like this has happened before.

Looks like that RDA guy was right about Kawhi narrowing down to the Lakers and Raptors

Re: 2019 Offseason Thread

IMO they were always completely different situations. The Nets do and always have had their own identity. They are not a step child in New York, they don't also play in MSG, they didn't steal the Knicks font and logo, they haven't been the laughing stock of the league for the majority of their existence.

Net's haven't looked like a secondary New York team at any point since moving to BK. Have no trouble staying a prominent team in terms of media exposure, and like the Clippers also have the allure of great front office and great coaching.

Edit: Not to mention even if the situations were the same New York isn't sitting on LeBron and AD to attract a 3rd guy either... This just in, winning matters.

We were winning earlier this season(after 12/8)and most folks still had the Knicks as the favorite to get KD and Kyrie despite us showing everyone we were the more competent, ran franchise between the two.

Even as recent as a month ago, people still had the Knicks as the favorite because “It’s the Garden and nobody wants to play for NY’s B Team” despite us being a playoff team and the Knicks tanking their season. Even after the Draft Lottery, KD and Kyrie were still expected to go there.

We still got brushed off as being a serious possibility for them because....some silly reasoning. It wasn’t until the last week when folks started taking us seriously to get both of them and that was only because PerkGod went on National TV and told everyone that we were the front runner to land them both.

Kendrick ****ing Perkins was the guy who made everyone take us serious, lol.

So yes, we were still considered the step child in NY and because we didn’t play in the Garden, that was considered a knock against us as well(“Barclays is good, but it’s not the Garden” is the exact response you’d get from people).

I’m glad that things have changed for us as a Franchise, perception wise, in the last 24 Hours. But it’d be naive to think that us and the Clippers were any different from each other 48 hrs ago.


*When I say people/folks, I’m talking about the guys covering FA every offseason, not anybody here.

I mean this guy sourced RDA's tweet directly. Does this Fred guy have credible sources or is he basing it off RDA like the rest of us?

Jimmy is retracing the steps of a serial killer that murdered 5 people? I don't understand.

My bad, I'm assuming this is just some form of humor that went way over my head.

He's our local NBC sports guy out here in LA. Been on the air (radio & TV) for decades.


Edit : along the lines of 23s response, Fred is kinda old and outta the loop as of late but hey you never know.

Re: 2019 Offseason Thread

I don't think Kawhi is gonna announce he's leaving Toronto today, National Canada Day. However if he did announce he was staying in Toronto, today would be appropriate to do so.


I'm guessing guys like Boogie and the Morris Bros are waiting on Kawhi. Wouldn't be surprised to see all 3 of them in LAC to be honest.
