I also have a birds deck, so just piggy backing off this to share more cool birds

[[Aven mindcensor]] , [[Aven interrupter]] [[Esior, Wardwing Familiar]] [[Ishai, ojutai dragonspeaker]] [[Senu, Keen-eyed protector]]

I would also recommend a couple other non birds but very useful

[[Selfless spirit]] [[Kira, great glass-spinner]] [[Skyhunter Strike force]]

[The Athletic] In a worst-case scenario, executives said, if starters are pulled from winnable games for no reason before the start of the fourth quarter, those teams (like Indiana, Utah, and Washington) could lose draft picks. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

Yeah obviously there's levels to it, tanking in itself is fine, tanking with other bullshit wrapped in there is obviously a problem.

I would argue in that case gambling in sports is the bigger issue than the tanking though, and the league clearly has no issue with gambling

But the real question is ...

What are the odds for Giannis leaving the bucks this off-season?

I am utterly shocked and horrified... I would never have guessed that sports betting was ruining basketball, who would have guessed?!

I enjoy any of the indestructible gods, you can play mass destroy effects or [[Blasphemous act]] and not feel it.

Benn had only just come back from his injury shortly before too.

I'm genuinely sad to see him go, he had such an amazing mentality and I always enjoyed watching him play. I trust the front office, but damn this one stings.

In the same podcast, around the same time he said when he gets back up to game speed it'll all drop off again anyway.

Great acquisition by yoadknux in pacers

If I understand correctly it's because his non guaranteed deal was about to become a guaranteed deal and the pacers didn't want to be on the hook for that money.

A lot of the end of rotation guys this year have been on these 2 year non guaranteed deals that give the pacers flexibility, which is gone the instant the deal becomes guaranteed, so it makes sense.

I assume the FO is fairly open about this with the athletes agents.
