I don't know if I should admit to it but yeah.... What's funny is that if the Bulls got LeBron and Bosh, the introduction would be so vanilla. Probably not much different than Boozers today.

Re: NHL (Blackhawks included) offseason thread

300 level thinks it's definitely an either or scenario with hammer and niemi. I have no idea what to do. This sucks.....*goes back to watch SCF highlights on youtube* -
BTW, is this the new lower to middle market "moneyball" strategy? To trade for all stars in the last year of their contracts in the offseason, and then trade them again at the deadline when seemingly they are more valuable? Obviously Oakland did it with Holliday last year and now Seattle with Lee.

[expletive] San Jose. Don't they have enough talent already? -
I can't wait for this game. I hope Holland wins, but I don't think I'd be disapointed by either squad winning.

The one thing he doesn't have is a city that gives a crap about sports. So what? If he wins a title I don't think he'll say "Wow, I wish Miami was happier." Exactly. And plus, in his presence, Miami fans will act like the biggest happiest fans ever. In Lebron's bubble everyone thinks hes the best person ever, and all fans in his presence adore him. If Miami fans truely didn't care, he wouldnt know about it, because everywhere he goes in Miami, he will be surrounded by people who are "the biggest Heat fans ever". LeBron could walk down the streets of any city in this country today besides probably Cleveland and people would gawk, and when people approach him, they'd suck up to him and tell him how amazing he is. Someone said on tv last night that they don't think LeBron really understands the backlash that is coming his way. In a way I might agree with that, but I don't think overall it is a big deal for him. First of all, he obviously don't give 2 shits what the fans think of him, as long as they buy his products. And also, no matter where he goes the people he sees in person on a day to day basis think he's the greatest thing better, even if they are cursing him behind his back.

If there's a SG out there that can hit 3s and play defense well enough to make up for Rose's deficiencies, I really like them next year. The funny thing about the Bulls was, there was a rumor last summer that the Bulls were close to trading with Utah for Boozer. This was before BG went to the Pistons and all that. Our starting 5 could have been Rose Gordon Deng Boozer Noah Basically we traded Salmons, Hinrich and Tyrus for Boozer. I will never say that this was a bad decision for the Bulls. I thought for the most part they did a very good job of getting the team in the position they were in. Basically they had the best team on paper for him, unfortunately a human element stepped in and prevented it from happening. I'm just pointing the above out because it's funny. I really hope that whatever SG we get is more useful than Gordon.

Hah

The Heat have 5 players signed, the Bulls have 6 players signed. It's a little too early to rank the East. I think the Bulls with all their cap space could make a trade at some point to pick up someone. If not its a bunch of shooters.

The city's biggest sports icons will now be umm Grady Sizemore and Joshua Cribbs?
-
I just refuted this on RealGM, but he definitely said "a few". I heard the audio snipped (it was posted in the current RealGM LeBron thread), and it does sound almost like he says "two". In fact it took me 3-4 listens before I was certain that he said "a few", but I'm quite certain now.

Hey what do you know, Rammy is back.

I'd love it for the Reds to shut the Cardinals out of the playoffs, hooray collusion That's fine, I just don't want Marmol shutting the door on the Cubs up to 18 times a year for the next several years.
-
No but maybe when he stops hitting so many HRs, he'll have worked on getting on base more.
-
I remember Evan Meek. He was the rule 5 guy that the Cubs teed off on in the 17th inning or something of a game in April 08.
-
True. And it's not like we didn't take advantage of the winds too. We scored 3 times the runs we normally do. So everyone wins.

Sadly this is only the 3rd worst Cincinnati beatdown of a Chicago sports team in the last 9 months. The previous 2 were on Thursday, and in October when the Bengals embarrassed the Bears.
-
Jim Hendry traded a future All Star for the great Jose Ascaino.
-
Arthur Rhodes, first All Star game at age 40 wow.
-
Don't they usually announce the starters first and then the reserves? I had no idea this was going to happen today. Oh well 2 straight years we've had 1 All Star that probably wouldn't have been selected if there wasn't an "every team needs 1 All Star" rule.
-
Don't bother. You'll read so many 'reports' that contradict each other that you'll get a headache. Sometimes I wish we could go back to the glory days where you didn't find out about anything until it was announced on TV. With the internet, there are 10,000 people who act like they are credible and fans have no choice to go through thousands of reports, of which 99% are probably untrue, but there's no way of knowing which 1% are actually true.

Not to the Reds though please.
