If they do a S&T for Bosh that includes Deng, would they be able to add LeBron AND another FA? I don't think so...the way I understand it is that right now they can't straight up sign 2 max FA's. They're a little short. The S&T with Deng would let us do Bosh and Lebron at max, and then have enough to fill out the rest of the bench I believe...

Congrats to the Cavs for getting Coach BS.
-
So if the Bulls want to do a sign and trade for Bosh, could they have already talked to the Raptors about it? That shouldn't be tampering to talk to them....
-
According to this, it's Bosh first...then LBJ. http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/06/bulls-plan-to-get-lebron---get-bosh-first.php
-
I think it'd be awfully hard for us to get both Lebron and Bosh.

Everybody point and laugh at the Knicks... http://web.sny.tv/news/article.jsp?ymd=20100629&content_id=11717746&oid=36320&vkey=18 Somebody knows they aren't getting Lebron...

Here ya go... http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/cubs/post/_/id/1317/cubs-to-recall-stevens-russell -
Agreed. Let the other teams deal with these guys Championships are stupid. I'm confused. Are championships bad when owners do things the wrong way, or when players do them the wrong way?

did they address the news articles that reported days ago that lebron was spotted in NYC on Thursday and again Saturday night and that multiple people reported seeing Wade at the cubs-sox game on saturday and supposdely all week in Chicago? I'm not saying that makes it possible that they flew to Miami on sat morning and made it a point to be spotted in public in other cities later that night. Just wondering if thy actually addressed these reports. Also conference calls aren't a new technology.
-
yes, followed closely by hall of fame agreed. i would prefer no one on the cubs ever make the all-star team. i don't watch the game, i'd rather the guys get the time off, and it makes the players marginally more expensive come contract time. I hate all-star games...in any sport. I can't believe we're just now getting to the all-star break...it feels like it's been a whole freaking season already.

This is beyond ridiculous. I'll be glad when its over. http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/37997476/sports/player_news I had doubts in the back of my mind that that happened. Stern specifically seemed to quash that idea a month ago... http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/basketball/nba/06/03/free.agency.summit.ap/index.html

Carlos Zambrano's brouhaha and apology
Banedon replied to Outshined_One's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
"Fun bad" was some of the loser teams that Sosa was on. At least you could watch for him to hit a crazy amount of homers. -
Actually, yes I do think that. Because, especially if Kobe gets one more ring, every mention of Kobe's greatness is going to compare him to Jordan. And people are going to say that Jordan did it without a true big man in the middle. Yeah, cause Scottie Pippen was dog [expletive] You must've misread...so I bolded it for you.
-
That implies that they wouldn't if he goes to Miami or NY? It seems that every single time he talks about sports, Kaplan has this really big time executive from some industry who knows the answer. He's probably talking about his favorite Foot Locker associate. Yeah, consider the source. I realize...it wasn't so much a serious question as pointing out the ridiculousness of the "rumor".
-
Bosh will take a max and Lebron will take a cut. If they are really serious about this they can make it work. I don't know what make you think either of these guys plan on taking a cut.

It's Urlacher, but that does feel outdated. I hadn't noticed how sports star starved the city is. I do think Toews should be a choice though.
-
Some ESPN salary cap guru, Larry Coon tweeted this... So yeah, they'd have to move Beasley.

Trading Zambrano

I bet Z can't wait to waive his NTC to play for the Indians. -

I'll bite. What "should" it be about? And how does Steinbrenner sell that out? It's a professional sport...it's about winning. (After making a buck that is...) Indeed. Do tell, chuck. In short, competitive balance. When you have a team spending over 4x on player's salaries as another team, how is that fair? You see it all the time in sports when the big guys bully the little guys. You see it in European soccer. You see it in racing. You see it in the BCS. This is no different. How is it fair for a franchise to have top notch management, do things the right way, develop the right players, but still can't compete at all because the big spenders will snatch up all your players the minute they become free agents? Thanks for the explanation. Now to answer your question, in short, yes...I'd be happy to sell out what you think baseball should be about in order to win a World Series. Mostly because I don't think that's what baseball, or any professional sport, is about. It's the leagues job to ensure competitive fairness. It's not the team's job. The team's job is to do whatever it can within the rules to play the best team they can. Steinbrenner does that.
