    For 2012-2013, I doubt it. I can think of a way they don't lose in the EC Semis or Finals

    Wait until 2014. they better be laying that foundation NOW. The Heat crap started a few years before it happened. If we're going to try, we better have a ringleader out there recruiting. Too bad Rose is a damn mute. Rose needs to assist in the wooing of free agents. Maybe 2-3 more years of losing will speed up that thought process? Anyways barring a trade, I'm throwing dirt on the 2013 bulls. Or maybe Rose will leave after 2-3 more years of losing.

    What's the difference between the Spurs of the early 2000s and the 2012 Spurs?

    What contract do the Nets have to send back?

    Steady decline IMO

    We'd probably wind up non-tending Porcello in a year.

    contract. With us eating 90% of his contract, the contract shouldn't be a problem. It's the years, not the dollars. If we're eating up 90% of the contract, the years don't matter.

    Instead of Rick Porcello, let's pursue Jamey Wright. They're pretty much interchangeable.

    Boozer didn't have Boozer's jumper out of college either. I love love that pick. Are they going to move JJ now do you think? You can't quite tell with Doc. If you told me on draft day last year that Avery Bradley would wind up a starter and Steimmimesmimsiesema would be a rotation player I'd slap you in the face and call you a [expletive] liar. ETA: I'm guessing JJ hasn't shown up on defense to his liking. They'll probably keep him around as a cheap body, but I doubt he gets much tick at all. Have I mentioned how much I loved the Celtics 1st round???

    Gordon wants to go to Indiana (partly since his little brother has just hit high school). But the Hornets hold all the cards since he's restricted and the Pacers owner doesn't allow the Pacers to offer restricted free agents offer sheets, so it is still somewhat a long shot. If there's one thing you can trust it's where Gordon decides he wants to go.

    Judging by who's around when the Celtics are picking according to mocks, I'd go for: Terrence Jones Fab Melo Jared Sullinger Will Barton Quincy Miller Jeff Taylor Marquis Teague 2nd round Quincy Acy Robbie Hummel (Collect all the Boilermakers!) JaMychael Green

    Maybe they're trying to bait one of the first 28 teams to draft him so somebody who's actually good can fall to the Bulls.
  15. SouthSideRyan
    Agreed. The states with no teams get screwed the most by the current rules. Iowa, Indy, Oklahoma, Southern Nevada (IDK if it has to do with Vegas/gambling??) all have 4-6 teams they are blackedout from. http://www.desipio.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/mlb-broadcast-map.jpg I don't see it as getting screwed. I have all the RSNs that DirecTV has to offer, and I can watch 6 teams (Royals included). I miss the WCIU games, but I'd hate being in an MLB city and be limited to just the local team. Not everybody gets, or can get, directv. Maybe those people should move to real cities.
  16. SouthSideRyan
    I just don't see how there's any logic involved there.

    I just think you'd never get anything for somebody like LaHair alone, but he could perhaps sweeten the pot for an actual trade chip like Dempster. If you'd never get anything for LaHair alone, why would somebody give you more if you threw him in? Say LaHair = #22 prospect in an organization. How does X = #4 prospect but X+LaHair = #3?

    Is there anything to this prevailing theory on here that packaging guys together will get a better return than trading them separately?
  19. SouthSideRyan
    Fingers crossed

    The network(s) carrying the games charge so much to the cable provider to carry their channel in their packages. A large draw of many networks which broadcast baseball is the exclusive rights to those games. Right now, if you live in Chicago, the only way you get non-WGN/WCIU games is to subscribe to a cable package which includes Comcast Sportsnet. If you have the option of buying mlb.tv to get your Cubs fix, cable subscriptions go down, CSN cannot charge as much because they're not drawing in subscribers, and if CSN can't charge as much, they aren't making as much on the Cubs, thus they won't pay out the same for their TV contract. ETA: shut up TT

    Baseball being dead in Montreal was the cause of the trade, not the effect.
  22. SouthSideRyan
    And considering he makes 2.7M, he'll pass through waivers quite easily.
  23. SouthSideRyan
    Well that's not true.
  24. SouthSideRyan
    Thanks goony.

    Anyone else realize Baker has played exclusively 1B, LF, and RF this season?
