For the betting odds, those all should be + instead of -. The way you have it written means McBride, at -2500, is the favorite to “pop.”
When there is a - in front of the number that means this is the amount of money you’d have to bet to win $100. For example -2500 means you have to bet $2500 to win $100.
A + in front of the number means this is the amount of money you win if you bet $100. So +2500 means a bet of $100 wins you $2500.
Although Ayton's contract is not near max money, this is 2022 and I don't want a Center (except for a very few and even then I'm not sure) being the highest paid player on my team. I'm happy paying Mitch half of Ayton's salary and still getting the rim protection, rim running and rebounding.

I think Ayton is a great fit for this team if they unload Randle in the process. My view is from a far and he also seems like a weird dude but I like what I see in terms of fit especially with Thibs. If Thibs lets Ayton push Randle off the nail I think he works regardless. Im curios what your take will be. He’s not a “wing”, pull up threat, and doesn’t “create”. Does what he isn’t make him an over pay? He does make every hook shot he takes (he’s money from 3 to 10 feet), is a legit rim protecting drop center (Thibs true love), a guy that can get buckets in the half/play PnR with Brunson, and at 24 has all star potential.
2 questions - what would that Ayton trade look like, and would it make sense for the Knicks?
I think I prefer ‘five more minutes’ as opposed to ‘I’m almost done’ - simply because at least I have a time limit I can attach to one of them. Your thoughts?
