2025-2026: Around the League

[VFX]

So... Billups, Rozier and some other NBA former coaches just got busted for illegal betting.

I been very vocal about nba and gambling issue & notion that betting houses are part of sponsorship of league. League that is already in very shaky ground in post Aspiration-gates.

This is huge and terrible for a league. This might actually be worst back to back stuff that ever happened to nba.

Keep in mind how fast & quick was Silver and NBA to proclaim Rozier "cleared from everything" while FBI just said "nop".

And now, months after that false claim by NBA, Rozier isn't even biggest NBA fish to fall, rather ACTIVE COACH, who is btw also former superstar, finals MVP, all star and one of top 100-ish best players ever.

Silver should just step down. People are literally cheating & doing illegal stuff in front of his nose. And he either knows nothing, or has part of a deal. I hope he is just dumb or league will burn.

Silver has been abysmal to be honest.

A current player shouldnt have ownership over an agency while playing... period.
Players should be immediately blacklisted from the league for rigging games or involved in gambling on the sport they are employed currently. Its no different than insider trading.

What do you guys think of Joel Embiid's future in PHI? Anyone thinks if PHI has a bad start, somehow Joel Embiid is going to be on the trade market? What is his health status?

If somehow Philly struggles, I really do think in my opinion, they are going to get rid of his contract and start the youth movement with Edgecome and Maxey plus parting ways with PG.

That will be interesting to watch. PHI has no choice but to win this season. But i can hardly see them getting anywhere if somehow they would struggle with injuries again. We will see...
