I believe they busted most of that on resigning Harrison Barnes and Cory Joseph

I like the Fox/Hield/Bagley trio so much but can’t shake the feeling they will find a way to really frick it up

I am serious. For example, random dudes on Reddit were the ones with the Game of Thrones leaks, and the odds makers were going off of they’re leaks to set the odds of who will sit on the Throne.

Or look at the Colengelo situation with his wife tweeting insider info from burner accounts.

So unless Vegas has a connection, then they are often going off the same information as the rest of us. And some random person COULD just happen to have a connection to a player or an executive that nobody else has.

Possible false alarm on the AEG guy.

It absolutely can be a crapshoot, but when legitimate information starts leaking they are the first to know
This is often not true for things like this.

Matt Moore’s (Harwood Paroxysm) recent tweet kind of highlights this:

We’ve reached that weird part in free agency with Kawhi where none of the reporters have been leaked to but all of these random Twitter accounts are saying Lakers. And you’re like “No, they can’t be right’ but then that’s how it was with LeBron in 2014 and 2018

Lebron to the Lakers in 2018 was the worst kept secret ever. Everybody knew that shite

Odds reflected it for a while too from what I remember

Unless they have a blue check, it means nothing. Shams and Woj have both been out in front of almost everything. Plus Ramona is connected with the Lakers, so she would have said something by now

I'm the only one talking about details so RDA might be trailing me for info

I slid into his DMs to see who he is and I'll let you know if I get a reply

I’m not saying this RDA person has this information; I’m just saying that Vegas is not some omniscient entity, especially when it comes to things like this, which are essentially prop bets. This is why the VIG on these types of bets is so large (30%; < 30% for game odds).

You’ve got a bunch of random people throwing shite against the wall hoping it’ll stick and they’ll make a name for themselves.

I do think Kawhi signs with the Lakers but unless something breaks from a big name in the next hour or so, these guys are absolutely full of crap. They may have sources but they aren’t hours ahead of the most well connected people in the NBA

Things don't always play out like the projections say they will.





See, you're wrong. Getting him for the vet minimum is a great deal. Nobody was expecting the Rockets to re-sign him because he played well and earned himself a decent contract. Some were projecting $7 million+ per year. He got offers around $5 million per year. Which is what around what people were expecting he'd get.

But he signed for the minimum less than 24 hours after free agency began.
