Big Trades and Surprising Picks



We just entered the offseason but everything in the NBA seems to building up the excitement for the next season what will several more months from now. Just a few hours ago, teams made quite a few important decisions that are likely to change to fates of the franchises and changeup the landscape of the best basketball league in the world. I guess this also means jam-packed months for any sports betting site that is already buzzing due to the upcoming Ashes cricket series next month.

Anyway, if you haven’t been able to keep up-to-date with the surprises of the NBA draft night due to being busy or that your sports betting website didn’t bother to publish the important news, here’s what we have going.

Number one surprise

The Cleveland Cavaliers made a surprising decision in the draft as they drafted Anthony Bennett for their number 1 pick. Bennett is an athletic power forward who’s got an offensive game that looks the most NBA-ready compared to other prospects.

Despite having no clear consensus on the number one pick, Noel was seemingly locked in the top five, if not the top 1, of this year’s draft. The concerns about his injury seem to have had great effect on the decision of the first five teams to pass on the athletic center.

Moving big

It seems the Brooklyn Nets are really serious about wanting to win as they agreed to a deal with the Celtics to bring in Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Jason Terry while sending away Gerald Wallace, Kris Humphries, and Kris Joseph plus three future first-round picks.
