If Bargs could still shoot the 3 I could see the reasoning, but his 3 point stroke left him like 4 years ago for some reason.

Jesus man, why would you ever bet on basketball? That's probably the worst sport to bet on outside of baseball.

Hockey seems pretty tough too. Football is really the only sport I would ever put money on.

Same. Granted I will never bet or gamble because you're almost guaranteed to lose money.

I'm confused by it. It could mean less minutes for MarShon :(
but more for Teletovic!
I was hoping we'd look for a forward in return, but a lineup of Dwill-Gordon-JJ-Wallace-Bropez would be so fun.
and SO bad on D. It'll be interesting

If you bet on games yes. But I've seen a lot of great opportunities in betting on futures and team O/U. You can always take advantage of NBA/NFL draft lines. And if you know the draft, you can predict ROYs pretty well for good odds (or maybe I've just been lucky the past few years). I took Kyrie last year for +500. And I would've taken Lillard but his odds went down to +300 so it wasn't worth it.
This year was great for me. My biggest winners:
Kuechly to win ROY
RGIII to win ROY
The Field to win Heisman +1500 (BOOK MADE A MISTAKE!!!)
Colts OVER 5 wins
Those were my biggest plays and I won decent $. I broke about even in my other NFL O/Us. My biggest regrets are taking so many dumb media-hype overs. Lesson learned (DET, CAR, SD, DAL). All of my unders hit except NE pushed and HOU.

It's almost as if they had an elite three point shooter and traded him for absolutely nothing.

Yes but the tourney is tough for Vegas too because they just don't know all the teams and some bettors do in certain areas so the lines move around.

Speculation but I think they asked for more. I heard Nate Robinson. That and Boozer is on the decline and costs about 5 million more a year. Bargs is ******* awful at times but he still shows flashes and I am guessing the thought it they can get a bit more for Bargs.

A bit more? Hahaha, you can't be serious. NOBODY will trade for Bargs, he is absolutely awful in all facets.

He can score! I am a huge Bargs hater but his D has improved as well. I don't think the Raps will get much for Bargs but Boozer has an awful contract and would push Amir out of the starting lineup so I am fine with the trade not happening.
