Bob is their new director of quantitative research and development. Edit: apologies, as the title should read 'Haralabos'

Guess betting on basketball doesn't pay as well as it used to?

Inside info on his team could give him some betting angles at times. I won 10k betting Wisconsin +6 against Minnesota because I had inside info from my $7 hr cameraman job at UofM.

Interesting hire. I wonder if he had any sports networks expressing interest. Seems like handicapping is going to be a major source of content creation moving forward and a winning sharp could potentially write their own checks.

According to his twitter, he's been mostly out of BB betting for awhile. Books/others have caught up.
He's all in crypto now.

is there any word on how much he's getting paid? NBA teams can write insane salary checks. And if he works out well as an NBA executive that's a kind of job he could maintain into his 80s if he wanted to. Most NBA top suits are old as ****. Plus there is a huge level of prestige from being like the first sharp to get picked up by the major league as an executive.

Bob can also probably net profit more money from playing in the home games of NBA owners than he could even get in action from sports books willing to take his bets.

Haralabob said in the past there was a period he has tried/interviewed for nba jobs before and and during that time he wasn’t allowed to bet anymore. Should be the same this time

Yeah you can't bet on sports and work for a sports team or play on a team. Conflict of interest.

He worked for another NBA team before, forgot exactly which one and what his role was, but excellent hire by the Mavs.

Swing and a miss on a clear opportunity for a Pete Rose gimmick.
