Around the League News and Rumors (Non-Hawks) Part 2

Jalen Brunson has certainly lived up to (and exceeded) any expectations in his NYK Homecoming.

He and Ty Haliburton have snatched the mantle of best PG in the East from Trae and Dame Lillard.

I'm interested to see if the Knicks can make a run past the 2nd Round of the playoffs this year.

NBA bans Raptors' two-way player Jontay Porter for life. "The league’s investigation found that prior to the Raptors’ March 20 game, Porter disclosed confidential information about his own health status to an individual he knew to be an NBA bettor. Another individual with whom Porter associated and knew to be an NBA bettor subsequently placed an $80,000 parlay proposition bet with an online sports book, to win $1.1 million, wagering that Porter would underperform in the March 20 game."

The dude has ruined his entire career.

No reputable basketball league will touch him.

He has no education to lean on.
Almost impossible to even hire him as a coach at any level.
Doesn't have the cache or the bona fides to be a scout or personal trainer to any player of repute.

Just a damn waste.

Who made the dumber mistake:
Jontay Porter (Betting on basketball, banned from the NBA)
LiAngelo Ball (Caught shoplifting in China during a college visit, held indefinitely, the President of the United States had to negotiate his release)

Congrats to Buddy. Likely not how he envisioned this playing out.

These is incredible value for what looks to be long term building blocks.

Insane how much they wasted this year on Lonzo, Lavine and Vucevic.

Game Two, let's see what Tyler Herro does, since Jimmy B is probably out the rest of the series.

Well done Dame.
Putting the Bucks on tour back and having the best game of your year. The move to Milwaukee has been a difficult one.

It's not even a discussion.

Jokic is such a large favorite from between -3000 to -10000.
Hard Rock has -3000. $100 pays $3.30

$100 pays $1 @ -10000 odds.

Has LeBron always been this poor of a leader?
