Resting someone on a B2B is a bigger threat to league integrity than this?
Adam Silver’s sudden fixation on tanking is designed to distract from, yet reinforces, the fact that the league has been completely captured by gambling.
Really shameful stuff.
Adam Silver says that the NBA views prediction markets the same as sports betting.
Silver also says Giannis Antetokounmpo's investment in Kalshi is acceptable in the league's eyes because of the small size of his equity stake in the platform.
"It’s a minuscule investment."
Thanasis Antetokounmpo is signing a guaranteed one-year, $2.9 million deal to return to the Milwaukee Bucks, sources tell ESPN. Antetokounmpo played for Bucks from 2019-24. This also means after a summer of exploring options, Giannis is staying in Milwaukee to start the season.
Remember when the Pacers were in the NBA Finals? So hard to appreciate the magnitude of those games in the moment. Still unbelievable looking back on it.
His abilty to warp/stretch the floor + protect the rim is impossible to overstate and can never be accurately tracked statistically #Pacers must make re-signing him priority #1 this offseason
Full trade, per ESPN Sources:
Knicks: Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks
Pistons: Quentin Grimes, Malachi Flynn, Evan Fournier, Ryan Arcidiacono and two second-round picks.
