  1. Maybe I'm being too much of a sports nihilist, but if you're not winning it all, what does it matter? If you think you're closer to a title by shedding salary and setting up a move or moves down the road, you should do it even if it makes you weaker in the short term. Unless you're talking development time for Butler-2012 draft pick, I don't see how shedding those 3 does anything for the Bulls.
  2. he gives out dumb contracts to free agents and some of his own guys, but there's really no track record of him taking on bad players with horrendous contracts. Not sure I understand the difference in handing out hilarious contracts to free agents vs taking on a hilarious contract in a trade.
  3. The thing is, if you let Watson, Brewer, and Korver go and Rose and Deng are out for half the year, what kind of record does this team put up? They should still be able to make the playoffs without an issue, but that could easily wind up a 6 or 7 seed unless you make that MLE really count.
  4. Seriously, were you not alive for Jordan? Payton? [expletive], I think Sosa would have an argument
  5. lol, since Mark Grace. Starlin fucked careers like Mark Grace's in prison. Try Ernie Banks.
  6. We're not interested in your sex life. Please keep it to yourself. Thanx Fred with the steel chair!
  7. Didn't consider the Phillies for Soriano, Amaro seems dumb enough to trade for him.
  8. That and...the other thing. That really hurts the most. But second, is the defiance.
  9. Here, I figured you guys would root for Boston because of me.
  10. only if we were afraid he was going to mistake castro for a cat Deep cut
  11. And this one guy I pass on the street begging for change every day!
  12. So the Bobcats pick. It's unprotected in 2016, and the Bobcats should be terrible for as long as Jordan owns the team. The problem is, a #1 in 2016 is too late for this roster. It'd be nice to have an instant rebuild in 2016, but what kind of shape is Rose going to be in by that point if he keeps playing the type of style he does now? Is anyone else from the current roster still going to be around? Basically I'm asking how long do you have to wait before the 2016 pick is valuable enough to trade away for a present day piece. If you have to wait until the '14-'15 season, then yeah don't bother, but if other teams realize how miserable Charlotte's franchise is, you've gotta dump that pick and go for it now before Rose disintegrates.
  13. I'm not sure moving the team to Brooklyn or Dallas is really a viable option.
  14. No, he was a douche, he just did it quietly and it got overlooked because he was so good at baseball. He's really kind of an ass and has proven it on multiple occasions. Oh, so he's a professional athlete you say?
  15. So Bulls fans, who you rooting for out of the East. You loathe all 4 of these teams right?
  16. Milwaukee fans are turds. Everyone who isn't a Bulls fan knew they were in trouble, nothing to do with me being a Bucks fan ;) Yep they were in huge trouble wining the most games in the league again this year. But...they were in trouble.
  17. Awful luck? Or just an incredibly short-sighted NBA/Player's union, not thinking about what a condensed season might do? Awful luck.
  18. Appreciate that Rob, I go with navy blue used by my Alma Mater Marquette. Though the carolina blue jerseys we wear now are really sweet too. Did not know there were two fellow Marquette alumni broadcasting in the Cubs' system! Awesome. I notice they're not attempting to get jobs in Milwaukee for some reason.
  19. Now that I think about it, didn't something similar come up with Beckett in the past?
  20. Yeah, that's a problem.
  21. I'm not ready to accept that we won't be buyers.
