We're clearing 50+ wins easy this year.
-
I think it's a little bit better than a pitcher's win loss record. It'd be more comparable to the overall win-loss record of your entire starting rotation. Quarterback play isn't quite that important but it's close. It's very, very unlikely that an elite quarterback would ever have a bad W/L record over an extended period of time.
-
Dozens of guys, especially veterans, change teams every year expecting that their ceiling is as a bench guy on their new team. I mean if ANY player should expect their ceiling to be a starter then why stop there? Why shouldn't ANY player state that their ceiling is to be the best player in the league?
-
If the Bulls want him I bet they won't have to pay more than $1 million to get him. But I don't think they'll want him. I'd rather get Roger Mason Jr. if he's available.
-
If things go according to plan Kurt Thomas is more of a bit player and insurance policy. Boozer and Gibson will take all the minutes at the 4 and Noah/Asik will get almost all the minutes at C unless Asik is really bad.
-
Well I don't think it's quite happening that way.
-
in either case, nothing can be proven yet, so it's all conjecture. i just happen to subscribe to the belief that where there's smoke, there's fire. i think weber started recruiting players at younger ages so that he could compete with a self or calipari who can drive dump trucks full of money up to the recruits' houses at the last minute and get commitments. to me, that's kind of a logical way to combat that. The most logical way to combat that would be to drive an even bigger dump truck full of money to the recruits' houses.

Because they don't want to get caught and lose their eligibility?
-
Players at any big time program aren't anything like regular college players.
-
Masoli's way overrated. People tried to put him on that Dennis Dixon level at Oregon...no, no way. Not even close. Until someone figures out how to stop that Oregon offensive scheme consistently any QB there is going to put up numbers.
-
Let's get real. The biggest reason Illini fans are convinced they couldn't possibly be skirting rules is because they haven't won squat at anything. The past NCAA stuff is a convenient excuse.
-
Theriot missed that by 6 inches.
-
Valentine has been eulogizing the Lou era while kissing the Ricketts' ass.
-
Well you can't throw that many belt high fastballs down the middle and get away with it for too long.
-
Frankling hitting Starlin was the best pitch of the inning.
-
Yeah, really. Illinois in general is never corrupt.
-
I don't see how it could be any more imminent than a few days ago until he works out for the Bulls.
-
I figured you would be posting the story of Fisher being all mad at Kiffin for poaching Pola.
-
Isn't the question why you would rather have patience rather than power? The scaling helps to answer why a point of OBP is more valuable than a point of slugging percentage.
-
I hope Thomas doesn't become Noah's primary backup. I want a legit 7 footer who can bang down there. I hope that's Asik. Anyway, scrimmage on ESPN2 tonight at 10 EST for the US basketball team so Rose should get a good bit of run.
-
Between Freddie Barnes and Alexander we've got to have the best two college fantasy wide receivers ever.
-
Wow, those knee concerns must be really worrisome. If he's really running in the 4.4s (which I doubt) at that size, leaping ability, and level of college production he should've been drafted pretty high. 46.5 vertical is insane. That's like 6 inches on Derrick Rose.
-
Trade flexibility mostly. Plus owners don't want to pay any more than the bare minimum for a bad product. So that would be attractive to their ownership.
-
Well Melo won't be in the fold until next year at the earliest so you'll have one decent pick and one low one probably...depending on how good you think Paul alone makes them this year.
-
They got 3 decent/cheap players in the Lee S&T deal with Golden State (Randolph, Turiaf, Azubuike). They have picks and Eddy Curry's expiring contract too. For a team like the Hornets that would go into full bore rebuilding mode if they ever traded Paul, it's not bad actually. You want young, cheap assets in that scenario. Edit: They also have the room to absorb Okafor's bad deal and Raymond Felton as well.
