2025-26 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

…working link. For now. Lol

 

Not sure how true this is… or how it will affect our players and especially Luka’s future with us - lakers got named as one of the four teams involved in this circus.

 

Our FO cannot control others who bet on our team. The problem would be if someone inside our organization was helping these people meet their goals. We are just innocent bystanders. To infer anything else, at this point, is BS.

 

Beasley was playing for Lakers at this time.

 

Did Beasley drop the dime.

 

Who gave the information. They cleared him.

 

Who knows
But apparently Tim Donahye was right

Rozier is accused of deliberately influencing match results. His accomplices in March 2023 bet $200,000 that Rozier would perform poorly in the match. The player who played for Charlotte left the game in the ninth minute after the injury.

Chauncey, in addition to poker is accused of leaking information to bettors, for example, that in game vs Bulls in March 2023 he will not play starting five ,and the right guys then made the right bets lol

 

This would be assistant coaches they don’t make any money.

Theres gotta be a tie to Arenas wasn’t he arrested at his house? And his ring tied to mob figures???

seems like this is a norm around basketball circles.

 

As it stands, this doesn’t blow back on us or any other team bet on at all. No way you can control some of this. It’s literally I guy calling people and saying “yo. I heard LeBron isn’t playing today.” Nothing you can do but crack down on the person who did it

 

I’d guess him and Arenas honestly

 

Nope.Hes is again under investigation

Sources tell
@pablofindsout
Malik Beasley’s fate also hinges on DOJ announcement.

And that MB was previously investigated and cleared by the NBA for “making a bet or two on another sport.”

Source: “The NBA is under strict confidentiality but you can’t control the government”

 

WUT? In the middle of this Wemby is unstoppable especially with ref protection discussion …. you pop in with that? Weird

 

Gambling has been around the league for a while. Players play cards on planes. They do blackjack dice all that craps.

We saw the Paul Pierce live stream video at his house.

This is different the fact that Billups led guys he knew players to rigged gambling houses. Is disgusting. Talk about players fraternity. Guys losing big money.

I don’t know how old some of you guys are in here. But it’s kind of like that Robert Redford Paul Newman movie the Sting 1971 watch that. Billups is actually the Robert Redford. And there’s a character in there the Mick.

 

What’s f***ed up is you have a league whose financial partnership structure is centered on gambling Fan Dual Draft Kings Prize Picks. Every commercial during a game there’s LeBron James and Kevin Hart talking about games. They have basketball sports betting shows. Bet during games in Arenas.

And now we have prominent NBA figures part of a gambling ring with the Mob.

And I.e. players Rozier who were involved in having guys make bets and then take himself out of the games.

As much as Silver will talk his s*** and say it’s on the up and up and assure us that it’s on the up and up. The fact of the matter is and fact. Is games were compromised due to gambling. Just the fact that players were removed from games means games were compromised which led to different scoring out comes. Who’s to say if Rozier didn’t do that and remained in the game he hits 4 straight threes we’ve seen players do that. And the team covers or wins.

until this s*** Rozier was one of the top players in the league.

You add Jontay Porter to this and it’s the question how many others are there?


Just like in Baseball with the steroid era this is a scandal.

and the fact that Damon Jones knew information and communicated that LeBron wasn’t playing and the guy bet the other way what the f*** is that??? LeBrons not playing. Why was somebody communicating that to his side??? And I know players talk coaches talk and it could’ve been as simple as well he’s down he’s not f***ing playing. Don’t know how we’re winning this game. And he could’ve took that information in confidence. And he could’ve been like damn Lebron that groin. Yall gonna have the king tonight in this game???

s*** it could’ve been anyway.

But you can’t put lipstick on a pig. This is a bad look for basketball. And the NBA.

It's crazy
He only received 2500 $ for information lol

 

A coach and several current/former players being in the pocket of the real five families of the mafia.

What a way to kick off the season.

 

The titles on these articles border on deflamatory.
Come on this is ridiculous to state frankly - one clearly is trying give hints of implication vs fact

When it should be
