2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Bolts]

So......you want to bet?

We already made a bet before the season on if the Kings or Lakers would win more games, no need to add another. There was the bet that if the Kings are within a dozen wins of LAL I get to give you an avatar for round 1.

I have only done Hoop cash bets since I have been on here. When was this?

Of course I'd honor it but I would love to see the quote.

Whoa. Whoa.....there, babe. Love of my internet sports message board posting-life.



After the Butler trade.....I said the Wolves might miss the playoffs now.....



And you laughed and said, "Might? LOL"

Right...what's your point?

Like I just said, I didn't envision a scenario where the Lakers would be fighting just to get the 8th seed.

But, you are.

If you were 8th or higher, there wouldn't be a spot for the Wolves to fight for.

Your teams struggles changes the math.

 

[Mecca]

This has been a bizarre trade request and as of now the capital I'd be willing to give would be shy of the first pick overall. The Lakers have gave them a nice offer considering. No way he's traded otherwise

I get that.

Barnes to Sacto @Bolts

 

[Mecca]

Yeah, I don't think the Lakers/Kings should be locks to make it. I think the Mavs aren't worried about making it after doing that trade but they are unlikely to get a top 5 pick to keep theirs. Wolves have young guys so they should wanna try to win.

You got your small forward.

Dallas is going full tank.

It's you, Lakers and Wolves.

I think it's only fair to add something to it. We can do most wins for 1k Vcash, but if the Kings finish within 15 wins of the Lakers I get to give you an avatar for the first round of the playoffs.

Within 15 games? Make it 10-12.

And 1k is a lot and my cash is shrinking with football season upon us. 250-300 Lakers get more wins?

If Kings finish within 12 wins of the Lakers I give you an avi for round 1 of the nba playoffs and whoever wins more games gets 300 vcash? Fine with me. I only said 1k because I thought you'd want more on the line in a bet heavily in your favor.

I Set it up.

350.

Seems like you agreed to the bet

 

[DJ]

Holy fuck.

I hate you, LeBron.

 

[Mecca]

Harsh...lol

 

[DJ]

You want to get this out of the way now, @Bolts? Say till the end of the season?

Or want it for the 1st round of the playoffs?

@Bolts

I like this trade.

Justin Jackson and ZBo for Barnes.

I like it.

Kings trying to make the playoffs this year for sure

 

[DJ]

And remember @Bolts we're online friends.....no need to make this avatar more embarrassing than it needs to be.


No more avatar bets after this, just cold hard Hoop cash.

 

[DJ]

The Kings actually made a trade? Fuck.


Now, might lose some Hoop cash.

 

[FakeBelieve]

The Bucks are approaching 150 pts

 

[Mecca]

Kings trying to make the playoffs this year for sure

Might as well.

They are losing their pick.

I really like what they've done here.

Fox, Buddy, Barnes, Trill, Bagley, Bogdanovic, Giles, Burkes.

They won't have a problem scoring.

For the record.....I didn't have an embarrassing avatar picked out or anything......I don't even remember it.....if I won I would have been scrambling around for an avatar for you.....and it would have been something fairly basic. Nothing embarrassing, I can assure you of this. And I'm a nice guy too.

Harrison Barnes

@Bolts

I like this trade.

Justin Jackson and ZBo for Barnes.

I like it.

I wonder why.....

 

[DJ]

Harrison Barnes

Yeah, saw the Tweet.

 

[bksballer89]

Barnes is still on the bench in Dallas.....
