Every one of these leagues dropped their pants to accommodate the millions of dollars they're pocketing from screwing their own fans.
Legalizing sports gambling benefits millionaires who take advantage of gamblers who like alcoholics can't control their behavior. It's beyond revolting.
Lakers involved as well

Prolly professional pickle ball. It's what all old people do.

The Rozier stuff is indefensible. The Billups stuff seems shady as hell but isn't related to basketball. I suspect we'll learn more as time goes on.

The fact that the Billups stuff still has at least one other NBA player involved is concerning, though.

Too much good stuff
They should have hired Becky Hammon after all.
Yup.

I wouldn't call them good. They're in a similar spot the Suns are. Focusing on a culture change after cutting loose some dead weight. They're still hoping to unload Jerami Grant.
Oddly enough the Blazers fans don't seem to care about Billups being forced out right now. This is a transition year for them with the hopes some of their youth shows flashes like Scoot, Clingan, and Yang Hansen. Dame will be back next season and they hope a more seasoned group of youngsters will pair nicely with whatever they get for Holiday.
