    The NBA thread

    Soul replied to imb's topic in Other Sports

    Well nobody visits SCH, so I just wanted to say the Bulls suck donkey balls. That is all.

    Give them Hinrich please. He is overrated as hell. Tunovers, cant shoot, and cant stay out of foul trouble. Please take him LA He's Pax and Skile's boy. Skiles might be losing a little patience with him. He semi-called him out in today's papers. I'm losing patience with him too. How many years in the league now? Still can't stay out of foul trouble, still with the stupid turnovers all the damn time? I want to like the kid, but I think he's maxxed out now and the end result just isn't all that great. I view him as a good complimentary player, not much more.

    Bibby's not that great any more. I don't see how he improves the Cavs much anyway, but I think all this stuff is just people popping off without really knowing anything of substance.

    NFL Week 9

    Soul replied to OleMissCub's topic in Other Sports

    wow, i can't believe that a guy whose job required him to work 125 hour weeks was less than a model parent I'm willing to bet his wife doesn't work at all. Still it was a family choice that allowed them to become multi-millionaires. If the house was that bad then he had to just be turning his head to what was going on. They can't use work as an excuse for being a horrible parent. It's hard to believe that Reid would have allowed that to happen in his house, regardless of how many hours he worked. If there were indeed drugs laying out in the open, then I just can't see how there could be any excuse. He had to have known something. Parenting, and just housekeeping in general, must be pretty low on Reid's priority list.

    Mets for those of you who weren't -14 in 1969. Sadly, the realignment has all but killed that once incredibly heated rivalry. It was close to Cubs/Cards levels at one time. aye, I hated the Mets much more than the Cards growing up Me too. Still do. Probably always will. Me too and it wasn't even close to any other team. Not being from Chicago I never realized there was a rivalry between the Cubs/Cards and never understood the Brock trade thing until I found out how these two groups of fans felt. Take away the SD playoffs debacle, and 1984 Cubs was probably the most incredible I've felt as a sports fan. The games we played against the Mets that year were just amazing. I don't remember how many bench-clearing brawls there were, but I think 3 or 4 over the course of the season. Amazing. And they had the division lead that year, and we took it away. It was '69 revenge, just soooo sweet. It's too bad we couldn't close the deal in the playoffs.

    Ouch man. That gives me goospimples watching it. :lol:

    You're right. Pax is wise to put the ball in the Lakers' court though, if that's what he's doing. Because I think we can all agree the Lakers need this thing, and we really don't. I know we need to find a way to improve this ballclub, but other possibilities might exist for us down the road, where for the Lakers, Kobe has precious few safe harbors to query and nobody seems to want him in L.A. anymore.

    I think if he is going to do this I'd do it early. It took too long for Melo and AI to get it together and I think it would take some time for the Bulls and Kobe to mesh too. Sure, and if we can get Kobe for what the Nuggets gave up for AI, I'd do it too. There's a difference between being "gunshy" and being unwilling to get raped. The Nuggets didn't have to give up their other top player, that was the whole reason that deal even happened. That wasn't my point Soul. I was talking about having the players mesh together, not about how the deal itself is structured. OK. Well -- if we trade Gordon, Deng, TT, and Hinrich for Kobe, then we can all look forward to Kobe meshing together with the likes of Gray, Sefolosha, and Chris Duhon. Might need quite a bit of time for that chemistry to kick in, LOL. BALCO can help you with the chemistry part. Just call 1-800-BARROID. I think after this week of swirling trade rumors, I'm going to call J.D. instead 8-)

    Haha. I think that's really overblown. I realize it was bad timing, but I don't think it deserves the hatred it received. I don't think it's a coincidence that it's Boston that is so upset about this, and ESPN's reporters have been the ones almost exclusively ragging on & on about it. I know a couple days ago Greenie was saying he thought the entire thing was overblown, too. What did he say to Gammons?

    It appears like it is a classic stalemate then. Unless the Lakers are willing to accept less than full value in return, it's not gonna happen with the Bulls. I don't know if any other team would be able to, I hear no -- but who really knows? I'm just glad Pax isn't willing to part with all his pieces just for one piece. That would accomplish nothing, would probably make us a worse team not better, and would likely lead to an unhappy Kobe anyway, which would put us in the same nightmarish position the Lakers are in right now.

    I don't blame the Cubs for not getting in to the discussions if it's 12 years @ 30 million per. I mean come on, I don't care how good the guy is, he'll be freaking 44 years old making 30 million. That's completely ridiculous, it's an albatross waiting to happen. Somewhere off in the distance, Texas screams "DON'T DO IT!!" I'm not sure if the BoSox would even do *that*. Reeeeeeee-diculous. Perhaps ARod should be looking for jobs as a CEO of an oil company. This is too much money for Jesus Christ, much less a mere mortal.

    Now we get to see just how much of that magic pixie dust the Cards have laying around :lol:

    Sure. If I cheated the game and now wanted to have my cake and eat it too, I'd probably be out there popping off as if I was squeaky clean.
  17. Soul
    Really? I'm not frustrated with Pax at all. Giving up all our players for Kobe would be a bad idea. Unless we can somehow get Kobe without giving up our team, we're going to wind up with a worse ballclub than we have right now. I'm glad Pax isn't giving in to this.

    http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=68887 The local beat writers are running with that. All he said was that nothing was happening "for now." In fact, I think the Trib article even left that part out. This is just Pax's way of trying to quell some of the speculation/rumors. I guarantee that talks are ongoing. LA wants to rid themselves of this problem. The entire front office is unanimous in that. Obviously, just like Bernsie said, some real info got out. That's what Pax is peeved about. If it were really fiction, he wouldn't care. How many rumors aren't there out there that are totally false and never get commented on? Something true was leaked and obviously they weren't happy about it. That's why Pax came out and said what he did. I also think it's a little bit of playing hardball with LA through the media. I don't believe for one second that negotiations are dead. He's not just saying it's done for now. He's saying it's done, period. I don't know all about the politics, but that's a direct quote from the guy. I think it's over. And I'm glad Pax is saying this. I'll guarantee our players had it in their minds the whole time this was happening. That's no way to have to play a game, no matter how professional you are supposed to be.

    Obviously the Bulls would be getting Kobe and the Lakers would be getting Marion, but who else goes where? I would guess Brown to the Suns but that's not enough in return for Marion. My friend heard this - he told me that Kwame definitely went to the Suns and Gordon to the Suns but he wasn't sure about the rest. The janitor at my office says that's B.S., it's a 3-way Bulls/Lakers/Portland.
  20. Soul
    Hehe, yeah. If that one happened, I'd probably hold a party.
  21. Soul
    What a retardedly good deal for the Bulls that would be. I know. I had to ask myself if I heard correctly. Bulls steal Kobe away, though the Lakers do save face a bit with that deal. Not championship material, but become much stronger defensively for sure. Kings, I don't know. Well, they mentioned that the Kings wanted Gordon as a point guard. Why, I dont know, but thats what Bucher said. Anyways, not sure when it happens, but I feel very confident the Bulls get Kobe by the weekend. Wait, so we get Kobe and plus keep Hinrich, Tyrus, Noc, Deng??? That can't be right. And the Lakers only get Artest and Wallace? That would be a disaster. Can't be. This is becoming a huge rumor tornado.
  22. Soul
    They could get worse if the Lakers get our entire roster for Kobe. I agree they aren't likely to make a huge leap as they are, but 2nd round playoffs is better than no playoffs or a one-and-done scenario. And if there's no team around Kobe, I could very easily envision a scenario developing where Kobe is hating life, making everyone else miserable, and the team is winning in the neighborhood of 35 games. If that happened then we just gave up the farm for a nightmare. The trade has to be the right trade, or I'd rather it not happen at all.

    Most of this stuff is coming from the Score. Not saying none of it is true, but people need to remember -- this station has an absolutely abysmal record of accuracy. Abysmal.
  24. Soul
    I still think there's a chance this is all speculation and the actual power players are sitting around watching TV or something. Ding Dongs. They're watching TV eating Ding Dongs, laughing at us.
  25. Soul
    If this doesn't happen, I'm going to be upset now. I don't see how any of our players could be concentrating on basketball right now. They'll probably come out and get slaughtered tonight.
