Alright, @KB21.  The call is yours.  Did Travis Schlenk just make:

Or did he fall short of that?  I'm ready to either hear you singing praises for TS or proclaiming that the bet is on!

 

He might pull ye ole okey doke on ya...here's his thought last night.

Of the potential deals, he’s not doing anything in particular that is special.  I like Capela, but he’s the only rumored player that would be coming to Atlanta that actually helps the team win some.

Capela has been a full time starter on a contender for a few years now.

If he acknowledges that is a MAJOR MOVE by Travis Schlenk then that is enough for me.  Hearing him praise Schlenk for making a MAJOR MOVE will keep me warm at night.  Anything less than that and the bet is on and maybe I end up being another KB bet victim but maybe not.

The bet is a go.

It's not a needle mover.  The bet is still on.

@KB21 - another trade. Bet still on or have we now made that major move?  (All praise to Travis).

By the @AHF ...The stipulation on the bet was 72 games played...None of Trae's competition for shots played in 72 games last season.

You’ll also see he was wrong (the only stipulation was that Trae play that many not that everyone or anyone else in the team had to play that many) and the bet was fully on and he lost.  He admitted it but didn’t want to wear the pony avatar and so just reneged on the bet.

@Spud2nique vs @benhillboy for all the marbles

2020-2021 season:

We make the playoffs- [Spud] win

We don’t - Benhillboy [wins]

Avatar change: 1 month 

It's on.

Damn.  That should be easy money.   Here's question.  How many teams in the east on average don't make the playoffs that want to make the playoffs.  I'd say the average is 1 

[AHF]

With @NBASupes and I nearing time to settle up our bet from last year on Mr. Reddish, I've given Supes the choice to proudly wear his avatar this month or for a month starting on opening night.  I didn't want to force it on him now when he is giving key updates to the board in case he thought it might confuse people.

The best part of the bet is we are both thrilled with Cam's rookie season!

Newest bet between thecampster and me.  I've also updated the first post on this thread with a summary of the action so far. 

 

Bet:  Alex Len 2020-21 salary greater than $10 million thecampster wins, less than $10 million AHF wins. Bet is null and void if (1) Len misses > 25% of the remaining season due to injury or (2) a trade for a greater big man which impacts his value or if Len is traded by the deadline either of which result in a reduction of his playing time by 20% or more the remainder of the year when heathy.  
 

Stakes:  For 3 days loser will have to like the posts of the winner no matter much they disagree. Each and every post, up and to the limit of daily likes. The loser will also have to respond with "I agree".

Who wins this bet?

It was a push because Len got moved.

And this one.

Supes chose to adopt his bet avatar for one month starting on the first day of the season rather than during November's draft month.

Len played well after getting moved though, should still count 

@NBASupes should just go ahead and request the Avator change now, so he only has it for a about a week into the new season, lol.

We both know who won the underlying issue about what Len would get paid. I'll just take satisfaction in being right on that.

Supes doesn't have the option to make the change now.  It was either for the draft or the start of the season.  He's a man of his word.  He'll break it out.

Supes has been eager to get rolling.  It is our combined Christmas present to the board.  (Well, that along with all the great content Supes shares on the site.)
