    I've heard different things. On WGN news, the reporter said that the Cubs are a separate entity and not not filed under the Tribune Company's holding so today's news won't affect them. Hub Arkush, the bankruptcy authority that he is, says that any selling of the Cubs has to now go through the judge or bankruptcy arbiter. Who knows.

    The HOF is an elite group. Isn't that what it is supposed to be - the elite of the elite?

    http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-081208-tribune-bankruptcy-story,0,4656896.story Short and sweet. Could have saved a bunch by not signing Marquis.

    I know we have gone over this again and again, but why can't Ron get in? Does he not have the stats? Did he rub people the wrong way? Was he a showoff with his heel clicking? Are too many Cub players from a losing team already in?
  5. Wilson A2000
    Haven't the Cubs already been sold to Zell?

    Skiles would have been a much better coach to develop Rose. Vinny is only coaching one year, but still, it is hard to coach this team when you have absolutely nothing in the front court and you paid a guy $70 million who will never make an All-Star team.

    I thought many of us agreed that Huet was a great signing? The bugger mistake was nearly letting Khabi go.
  8. Wilson A2000
    That is going to be very tough to work in.

    Didn't hear it. But -- 670 has many people on who are quite capable of an out-of-whack tantrum. Dan Berstein ripped Lawrence a new one in response.

    Graham is better right now and Lovie wasn't about to bench Vasher.

    No need to duck. It's the truth.

    When the Bulls and Hawks brass aren't more concerned about filling up the United Center with people watching the circus for two straight weeks. But the Bulls championship teams didn't get burned like this. This trip just exposes a team for what is truly is - BAD.
  13. Wilson A2000
    I just realized that there is only one Bulls and Hawks thread and someone just changed the title of it for every game. I was wondering how there could be 40 pages of pre-game talk on the Hawks.

    JUST WAIT TIL HANSBROUGH GETS HERE NEXT YEAR THINGS WILL CHANGE!!!!!!!!!! Wait, not really.
  15. Wilson A2000
    Exactly. I don't really understand what some of you are expecting. I don't see the Bulls making the playoffs. I want them to tank and get a good draft pick. Boers and Bernstein made a good point - the Bulls need a revamped team. When the Bulls finally made it to the Eastern Conference playoffs, no one on the team when Jordan first joined was left. Deng isn't going anywhere and I could live with Noc, but everyone else needs to go. The offense cannot go through Gordon. When I look at the upcoming players in the draft, I don't see much. I didn't know Rose and Beasley until late in the season, but I don't follow college basketball. I hear Ohio State has a good young center. Is Rose your Eastern Conference All Star starting PG?

    Imagine if Skiles was coach and he heard that. Skiles would change something: he would give him no time or 5 minutes of game time. It already happened. His name was Tim Thomas. Tim Thomas was a decent player too. Just the type the Bulls needed.
  17. Wilson A2000
    But Portland is young enough to let you back in games. The Spurs won't do that, even with Ginobli out.
  18. Wilson A2000
    Jerry took to long getting back to him. Unforgivable.

  20. Wilson A2000
    Nope not at all, but you'd expect a little better effort than this. The Blazers are good but we should be able to stay on the floor with them. Portland was one of two teams the Bulls could have beaten on this roadtrip. Now all that's left is Golden State.

    The funny thing is that nearly every player on our team has come from one of the very best college programs in the country or had extensive international experience in Noc's case. Thomas played on a Final Four team, Gordon won an NCAA championship, Noah won two, Hinrich and Gooden played for one, Deng played for Duke, Rose played for one as well, Gray played Pitt. The pedigree just isn't there. You'd think with so many guys coming from big time programs theyh'd understand roles and basic principles better. But in a lot of ways this team has the collective basketball IQ of the immediate post-Jordan teams. Even Jay Williams was a Dukie! A lot of that has to fall on Pax. But now that most players who enter the NBA only enter after one year of college, they haven't developed. The good players ruled in high school and weren't forced to develop. Then they have one year of college basketball. It takes time. But none of the Bulls' big men will ever be anything sadly. This is a huge issue, and the future of the NBA could be grim if it turns into a developmental league And there is an NBA developmental league, but for those guys most of them went to college for four years and are pretty much done developing. If they had potential, a GM would have seen it.

    They can't shoot and don't have anything resembling a post move outside of Gray. And if Gray is your best front court player, you have BIG problems.

    Vinny might not make it through the year. Should have kept Skiles. Man this team has gone downhill since they beat the Heat in the playoffs two years ago. Many of the same players are around too. But the NBA and especially the east got better. Noah is not an NBA player. But you could say the same about the rest of the team.
  25. Wilson A2000
    No Jackson, no Pace. Bears better win. Maybe the defense will even get a sack.
