Matt Youmans of The Las Vegas Review-Journal on sports bettors' reactions to tanking in the NBA:
The outcome of several games late in the regular season seemed almost predetermined to many league observers, a group that included bookmakers and gamblers...
"I definitely was playing against Minnesota, Memphis and Boston. It was very apparent to the betting public that those teams were tanking games,"said handicapper Jim Kruger or vegassportsauthority.com.
From Dime Magazine:
Oregonian writer Jason Quick has said the Blazers have been offered “two Western Conference Hall of Famers” for the No. 1 pick and turned both offers down; the only player Portland would take for the No. 1 pick is LeBron. So who are those HOF guys that were offered? Kevin Garnett is probably one...
From Sam Smith/Chicago Tribune:
Garnett has an option to become a free agent after next season, which would seem to make him almost untradeable—how much could a team afford to give up knowing Garnett could leave after one season? And how little could Minnesota afford to take for its last (only) true asset?
