I completely expected the NBA to do this. Wouldn't be surprised if they do a little more digging around to see if anyone else has done this to get them out of the league all at the same time vs finding out about this later down the road and having to address this type of situation again.

Yeah the guy was outright malicious with it, did all of it himself, which is how he was caught. Id bet my house there's probably a dozen or more players, and I might be short on the scale it could 10 time more whom over the last 20-30 years have placed bets but used a proxy like far unknown friend who uses another proxy to do the actual betting to keep that separated. The money goes into an investment opportunity or gets laundered elsewhere like real state or commercial sale so that its not liquid money going back into someone's bank account, so people can't trace it as easy.

Right, so the NBA has to show that they're going to be vigilant on looking for this type of problem(s). With more data that's becoming available for companies out there coupled with AI, it's going to become easier to find possible gambling issues for the NBA, I would suspect the NBA will have access to who is gambling with their business partners, from there it's just about linking data and finding patterns which is something AI can be great at.

Watching the Kings get blown out by the Pelicans without Zion.

I wonder if anything shakes loose during the off season on their team, as far as Sabonis or even Fox?

Would love Fox. He’s such a quality player. He’d be beautiful at the 1.

The only person I don't like in the Nuggets org is Michael Malone, but the rest are actually likeable, especially Jokic in this day of age of social media, and I'm fine with them repeating.

Edwards = trying hard punk
SGA = 2nd favorite player in the west
Luka = It's just alright, crybaby at some times, but I hate the Mavs as an org
KD = Snake
LeBron = It's alright, but not going to sniff the finals again
Tatum = yuck
Wemby = a little bit arrogant but interesting

The insecurity by that man on coach Spo last finals is laughable
