Meh. Maybe it is just the NBA guys betting on their insider knowledge that tips them off lol.

That’s what makes the most sense, someone with plenty of disposable income makes a huge bet and shifts the line

Yeah, I think people forget that odds are just trying to predict betting markets. Vegas isn't trying to gamble. They want to split the money and profit off the vig.

All I want is for Kawhi not to go to the Sixers nor to the Lakers.

The price of doing business with the Spurs might be too high for Danny. Let them screw another unsuspecting victim.

Ayton is overrated as hell, so is this draft class.

Desperate men make dumb decisions. Dont underestimate this truth.

Unless he has some more moves coming, they get like 35 wins in the West, miss the playoffs and lose Kawhi in the offseason. Can't see how that saves his job. If anything it gets him fired the year after. lol

Lines settled at +245 for now. What happened is Suns probably made a big offer.

The rumor is #1 + Jackson apparently. Wow, what a haul for SA for this situation if so. I sure hope that Phoenix would have a commitment from Kawhi before pulling the trigger on a deal like that.

Listened some radio station based in Texas. Spurs asking for Jayson Tatum for Kawai. Apparently they are only interested in Tatum as the main center piece.

How are the Vegas people in the know about these odds? Taking a cut with the NBA people who leak trades?

Those Vegas people didn't know **** when we got news of the KG deal a week before it leaked. We'll see what happens, but if the Suns trade the #1 pick overall for a 1 year rental of Kawhi, then it means McDonogh is throwing a hail Mary in the hopes of keeping his job.

Kawhi and Hayward will be a dangerous tandem in Phoenix if rumors of Hayward signing in Phoenix are true.

You have to pay to win.

Yeah, but the Warriors Tax Penalty is incredible.

I can't find the topic from the GB now but there was one there where they stated they made $100mil+ from their home games in the Finals or something ridiculous?

Lacob bought the team for $450 million. It was valued by Forbes at $3.1 billion in February. Luxury tax doesn't mean ****.

Can you even make those prop bets in Vegas? Those are more oddities. I know in Europe you can, but I never have actually seen someone take that bet on where someone is going.

In fact, Vegas would be stupid to take a bet that isn’t an incompetition bet.

They would probably price Leonard into the o/u of suns for next year.

This Suns crap is ridiculous, pretending I didn’t see it and it’s a bad dream. I will wake up later.

Crazy.

A healthy Kawhi is good enough that a bad, non contending team with a bad front office could take a chance on him.

Really weird, but better than LA or Philly if true.

The legend of the Suns' medical staff lives on.

As long as Kawhi gets a huge shoe deal in the big ass market in PHX, everything is fine in this world to his uncle.
