    I think Zobrist is dying.

    I don't know who haubrich91 is, but sorry, homie.

    Is he racist enough? That's my litmus test. Hates Heyward, loves Lackey.

    That's kind of an odd comparison. In Horace's best scoring season, he was still 10 points shy of Elton's best season, and significantly shy of even an average season for Elton. I know Horace was playing alongside prolific scorers, but they weren't very similar players. Kinda hard to compare value. It's not hard to compare, but you've already stated you don't bother looking at any kind of advanced basketball stats, so here we are. I would encourage you to peruse the very delightful Basketball Reference when you have the time. http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/g/grantho01.html http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/brandel01.html

    Fred's list is a bit out of date. I updated it (and will keep it updated until he returns) on the second page of that thread. Nice.

    I kinda hated him when he got carried off by the Magic when they beat us in 95. I remember that particular moment really stinging, especially with Jordan being back, but I was always torn on the Magic; I couldn't help but love Shaq and Penny, and Horace being there made me like them even more. I definitely remember being worried they were going to become the Bulls' big nemesis with that talent, but fortunately things worked out like it did. Plus that moment with Grant being carried off must have been one of the main things that drove the Bulls, and especially Jordan, to be so dominant the next year.

    Yeah, FG already has him worth about $11 million, for what that's worth.

    If THAT miraculously happens...

    Hot damn; I did not know Jerian Grant was related to him. That's cool. I always liked Horace, and was bummed as a kid when he got signed away by the Magic.

    "Star player." Elton Brand was basically Horace Grant in terms of value; that's a very, very good player to have if you've got a decent or better team, but those Bulls teams were wretched, and they knew it. As we saw when he want to the Clippers, Brand, despite his talent, wasn't good enough to be someone to really anchor a team or be THE guy. The Bulls keeping him wouldn't have made much of a difference. Speaking of Horace, I had no idea the Bulls FO hired him this past April.

    I thought it was someone else's turn based on Fred's list. Either way, early gam and no gam thread with just over 6 hours to go, so I took decisive action.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    It's hardly a stretch to say he's a disappointment based on expectations and even his own track record, but he has actually provided plenty of value and will almost certainly be worth what he's paid this season, if you put stock in that FG metric. It's just weird be all gloat-y about it, like he's more happy that he can slam people for the player sucking instead of being disappointed in their performance. Of course, seeing that he's actually a Cardinals fan, then it's just his natural instinct.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    I mean, everyone agrees he's actually a Cardinals fan at this point, right? I totally called it.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Early gam; need gam thread now. “Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!” He took his vorpal sword in hand; Long time the manxome foe he sought— So rested he by the Tumtum tree And stood awhile in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Perhaps.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    They absolutely did not. If they were going to trade him, they would have been better off allowing him to blossom for a few years into a legit superstar. At his peak, they could have received a lot more than the #2 pick in return for him. How often does that happen?
  21. Sammy Sofa
    All feels right with the world again.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    At least?
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Blargh.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Yeaaaaaaaaaaah, Russell.

    It's actually this Godzilla-themed classic:
