http://www.suntimes.com/28384051-761/hey-theo-epstein-cubs-fans-are-still-waiting.html :shock: :shock: He makes a great point. Why hasn't Shark led us to the postseason more? -
There were very few things I've enjoyed more in sports during my lifetime then watching Rose come into his own and become a superstar. Loved his personality, loved his game, loved how he came up big in clutch moments. I would have killed for him and given him access to my wife. It's not that I'm not a DRose fan now, or that I don't like him. It's just....not the same. I don't know if my perception is altered by the injuries and not continually being rewarded for cheering for him, but his personality changed and he has become a lot less likable, a lot more fallible. It sucks because I really loved to love Rose.
-
Duh, its not his job at all. His job is to rehab from various injuries.
-
hah, Rose now saying that he's not sure if he's even going to try out for Team USA as he's not sure if he's ready to be "competitive" yet, despite all the reports that he's been doing 5-on-5 for multiple months and the surgery that was said to have 4-6 month recovery period taking place 8 months ago.

Big offseason news: Andres Nocioni signs with Real Madrid. Mirotic replacement?
-
Couple of CONCACAF heartbreakers today

Probably not going to happen but how crazy would a USA-Mexico semis be? Edit: maybe not
-
-
Never going to happen because Nigeria and Algeria are involved but we could knock Europe out of the tournament in this round

Shark with a 5.31 ERA over his last 7 starts

What was the score of the Germany-Portugal game when Pepe got the red card? 1-0 or 2-0? Just random thought that USA and Portugal drew each other, both beat Ghana 2-1 on a late goal after blowing a lead. The Germany game was the difference...Portugal played a man down for over half the game and got blown out. USA played them tight and lost 1-0. That idiotic head butt pretty much ruined the WC for Portugal. I guess you can also say the order the games were played in made a big difference as well since Germany was all but through when we played them.

I love extra soccer!

I wanted Stauskas for selfish and basketball reasons but I'm cool with this move. RealGM is widely panning the move even before the Randolph thing was announced and I think that's stupid. Not every white guy who scored a lot at a high mid-major (save the BE last year) is the next Adam Morrison and I think we should give a little respect for the one thing GarPax does consistently well which is draft solid role players outside the top 10. My only problem is that McDermott has this douchebag looking face that annoys me, but if I can learn to love someone who I thought was really a douchebag out of college (Noah) I can get over the douchey face.
-
Unless McDermott ends up getting traded at some point
-
Should have traded it the year Charlotte won 8 games and looked hopeless like I said.

Agreed. He basically just called Reinsdorf a cheap Jew. Earlier he made fun of the Cavs because Katz reported that they didn't know who they were taking yet. He's a [expletive] [expletive] and moron; a young Rick Reilly. I was one of Simmons biggest fans circa 2001-2006ish. Him being on TV ruined it for me. It's funny because he used to make fun of the types of TV talking heads that he is, and now he's worse than Kornheiser on MNF or Reilly. I still read his articles but man he is [expletive] ruining this draft coverage, its embarrassing.

I think it might actually be slightly more but not a significant movement either way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ahh no

It's 4 I thought? First 2 years guaranteed and then 2 team option years follow that. Yeah but after that they can give him a qualifying offer or try to extend him. If he doesn't take the qualifying offer or refuses an extension, he can become a RFA, which in that case, the team can match any offer. So essentially they control him for 5 years, but if he doesnt take the QO, they control him for at least 3 more years (standard post-rookie contract)
-
Is it still AAV for cap or can you structure so the hit is later in the deal?
-
This is exactly how we hoped to advance going into the World Cup. Beat Ghana, draw Portugal and not get blown out by Germany and hope tiebreakers fell in our favor. Can't wait for the knockout round
-
We're good even if Germany and Portugal each get another before the end right?
-
I wouldn't go that far, we don't know if the bulls could afford him and another target. Sounds like the trade was just a salary dump for Orlando right
