No they dont have to say anything. But, if they do say things that are not true, that may expose them to liability. Care to elaborate? I'm quite privy, and very interested in legal coverage pertaining to media (say, what shit anchors can get away with and the legal obligations but owners to the league and the players.) If I understand you correctly, the presumption is that 1. Betting in some ways bases/depends on data from teams. 2. Teams bound to truthfully and fully disclose all injuries by state or federal laws or corporate policies within the NBA umbrella. #1 is true of course, but #2 is definitely not. AAMOF, teams have more incentive to be discreet and secretive about a players injury outside of the organization for gamesmanship and strategic purposes. But there is a valid argument to be made for truthful and full disclosure, and that is observing fair competition, but definitely not so bettors/Vegas can use this data. I have a feeling Im misunderstanding the details of your statement, so please explain if you can. Vegas has not taken this path with their precedents, but it is not good to assume all states will be the same, and in Europe there have been things that have resulted in teams getting warned. Which ones? The US generally has a more clever legal community than most places, and since gambling is novel, someone is going to win eventually. Which will not be great. Court documents will show the entire medical history of players that bettors think misrepresented injuries. This is a big risk that people need to take into account. People as in people who make bets/gamble? The NBA has no legal obligation or even connection to betting. That may change soon, especially since Silver is slanting that way, but for that to happen, NBA needs to reorganize it relationship with the teams since this will have major repercussions in player acquisitions and movement. | ||

The trade for Kawhi is brilliant now even if he does not stick around. They got the title but on top of the that the value of Lowry, Gasol, Ibaka has gone up so if they push rebuild they will be ok, Siakam, FVV and OG are some good pieces to build around. Expect a lot more load management going forward. Kawhi beasting in the playoffs proved it was the right call, and the TO training staff not only will make the Raps a more attractive option but will get copied across the league. | ||

GSW are in such a weird place now. Do they offer Durrant 5 year max knowing he won't play next year and might never be the same? Some one is going to offer him the 4 year max so they have to if they want to keep him. What about Klay now that we know it is a torn ACL? 5 year Max? If they offer anything less after what he has sacrificed will he go elsewhere? He is another that you know someone is going to offer him the 4year max even knowing he will miss at least half of next year. Bos also went from east favorite last offseason to who knows what this season. Irving to the Nets looks likely. Would Rozier resign? He seemed pretty done with the celts. Hayword was far from the allstar he was before the injury, does he get it back this year or is he like a Chandler Parsons now? Do they trade for AD and lose Tatum? AD has said he won't resign because he doesn't Trust the Celts front office. Going to be a crazy off season. | ||

I think its also crazy that TOs highest drafted player was Kawhi at 15! On the roster. dont be fooled, credit goes to Masai, as i have pointed out before for making this team work. These are the little things that professional scout and talent experts can distinguish right away and regular fans wont understand.

Irving is the worst possible centerpiece you can have because of injuries and his locker room drama. boston is a team that stacked on overrated player and got exposed in the playoffs. | ||

The warriors played like champions and didn't go down easily even with brutal injuries to three players in the starting five. This really shows why they are so good and have been so dominant: incredible talent with heart and team spirit. I hope they can continue to build around the big three and win more championships. The raptors is a great story: they play smart team basketball the right way. They have so many likeable players: FVV, Green, Gasol etc. They didn't tank to become good. I hope Lakers crashes big time and sucks for many years to come now that they have traded away their draft picks. You shouldn't be able to win after mismanaging a team like that by only signing super star free agents who want to play together. | ||

It really depends on your roster build-out plans. Obviously Klay, Kawhi, or KD are the best fit for every team, because there is no team they don't fit on. That said, and being unrealistic, Lebron and AD realistically need 3 point shots. Kemba is pretty ok in that cat. Danny Green is certainly an option that I don't think is bad if they strike out on a big name. Their choices are certainly very complex. Obviously in crunch time your lineup is going to be AD at the 5, Lebron at the 4. 3-1 is tough to know. If Kuzma is good enough to make crunch time your have a really odd defensive lineup, but prolly still workable if you get some defense 1 & 2. | ||

When this happens, it's like I'm delicately assembling a gingerbread castle and then some 4 year old comes along and smashes it to pieces. And then they make a bestselling jersey out of the ruins. | ||
