    I get the distinct feeling 2022 may not really be in Qatar. I was going to say, why would they play games in the middle of the night local time for the upcoming USA World Cup
  2. UMFan83
    I agree with the negativity. We got better but we are no closer to winning a championship than we were in April.
  3. UMFan83
    What the fudge? Almost 6 mil per year?
  4. UMFan83
    And Kirk resigns
  5. UMFan83
    love how Bryant's AB coincides exactly with the end of the freaking World Cup Final that I've been watching for 2.5 hours
  6. UMFan83
    Glad someone scored. Didn't/don't want this to end in PKs
  7. UMFan83
    Stupid other teams prospects not getting on base for Bryant in the 1st
  8. UMFan83
    A year ago Travis wood was an all star
  9. UMFan83
    how much is that exemption? 2.5 mil? As I understand it, unless they sign and trade Boozer the Bulls won't get the full MLE right? I'm assuming the Bulls are more likely to bring back Hinrich over DJ because they have Hinrich's bird rights, but not DJs? Or do they have neither because Hinrich only had a 2 year deal?
  10. UMFan83
    So is this what the depth chart is looking like? Rose/Hinrich (maybe) Butler/Snell Dunleavy/McDermot Gibson/Gasol/Mirotic/Smith/Randolph Noah
  11. UMFan83
    No Baez, Bryant, Soler and Alcantara is with the big club = quiet game thread
  12. UMFan83
    This seems like a 58 win season and 5 game loss to Lebron. That will be 5/6 in the last 6 years. We basically need Mcdemott to be klay Thompson and Mirotic to be prime Toni kukoc instead of omri casspi and Rudy Fernandez. In LeBrons 11 seasons the Bulls have only played longer into the season than him one time (04-05) and that was because the Cavs lost a tiebreaker for the 8 seed so they didn't lose in the first round like Bulls. In the next 9 seasons Lebron has played at least a round later in the playoffs

    Did we pass on him? I missed that article, I think. Not sure if we passed on him but damn did he end up costing little in terms of assets. Oh well it was worth holding off to see if Melo would choose us.
  14. UMFan83
    Woj says Melo to NYK will be announced in the next few hours. Hard to not believe Woj Looks like it's over.

    I just don't see the point given how well Taj played last year and Mirotic coming over. You could argue that PF was the position we least needed to add to. We also have Greg Smith who was injured last year but potentially a solid backup and Anthony Randolph who sucks but is on the books for 1.8 mil. Neither are anywhere as good as Gasol but again they are guaranteed contracts that are unlikely to be traded and on the roster next year. Maybe Miritic doesn't get signed but what else does he do, sit out the season, as it looks like the bridge to Real Madrid has been burned. They have no one over 6" tall who can get his own shot. Pau can. Right, I get what Pau can do. I guess it's just wondering if signing a 33 year old with durability concerns at our deepest position with a quality starter in place is the best allocation of resources. I don't claim to have another solution to propose, I haven't looked at available options outside of Melo.

    This is terrible with or without Melo
  18. UMFan83
    Ps screw you cubs fans. Partnership over
  19. UMFan83
    I'm as snarky as the rest of you guys, and I know the article was ghostwritten but Lebron comes off great in that article. Definitely changes my opinion of him a little even if it probably was filtered through a PR team before going public.
  20. UMFan83
    Why do exciting player acquisitions always seem to turn out to be long drawn out ordeals for the Chicago teams I care about? Peavy and Roberts were months of anguish with no reward Soler signed and then didn't sign and then finally signed I guess LeBron saga wasnt that long but it felt like it Even the Wrigley Renovation has lasted literally years At least when the Bears go after a big name it happens quickly and decisively.
  21. UMFan83
    ESPN did an NFL Future Rankings thing. Looks like the Bears were 11th. http://i.imgur.com/q2RGTCG.jpg

    Maybe all the Cub fans at the series this week voting while at the game?
  23. UMFan83
    We've heard from Al Contra, Soler, Bryant and even Russell. Where you at Javy?
  24. UMFan83
    AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL To be clear I am clearly not saying he should be sent down in order to be paper champions of the prospect rankings. Worded better, I was asking if he would still be a prospect if he stayed up all year and the answer is a clear no.
  25. UMFan83
    I want Alcantara up the rest of the season, but out of curiosity how many games/ABs does it take for him to lose his prospect status? I want to embarass the rest of the league with our offseason top 10 prospect list.
