How exactly does the cap work... I know the luxury tax is in place for teams who go over the cap... but can you go over the cap without re-signing one of your own guys? Basically, can you sign a free agent and go into the tax for him? As I understand it, I wouldn't think so, but I don't really understand the cap and the tax completely. Otherwise, they will need to make some moves to have any chance of getting two max FA's.

That's basically what happened... after he blew by thabo, you could see Westbrook make a face like... "yeaaaa...f it. i'm not about to get posterized."

Awesome picture... http://d.yimg.com/a/p/sp/getty/77/fullj.0d4b22990bbdb2ada3bc93733f4b13ea/0d4b22990bbdb2ada3bc93733f4b13ea-getty-90043389lm031_bulls_thunder.jpg

Just a week ago, they lost to the Clippers and Warruirs, so no. Those losses, while frustrating, weren't as inexplicable as everyone makes them seem. Pargo had to play significant minutes in both games. That's a huge dropoff from Hinrich or Salmons. Pargo is bad. Really, really bad. He's poison when he's on the floor.

Yea, that's weird.

It would be interesting to see. Literally no 3 pt shooting whatsoever.
-
When you have that core and you have the ability to persuade two of them to play together, I think your odds are a bit better at getting them to leave... I'd even overpay Joe Johnson if we got Bosh in that scenario (or, even bigger pipedream, LBJ). Might as well go for it all.
-
That would be the ideal possibility. Could you imagine a better scenario than having room for two max 2010 FA's while still having Rose and Noah locked into the team? Awesome.
-
You pull the trigger on one of those trades, you don't lose much of anything long term, and you get to test out Amare before you commit to him long term.
-
Nah, it comes down to that 12th man in the huddle. If not for that, it was an automatic run call for the next play and Longwell probably would have come through. Bingo Favre could have tucked it and run, picked up a few yards and gotten them back to where they likely would have been had they not had the penalty. He didn't have to try to force a throw like he did. Bingo.
-
I love this. Yet another season ended by a Brett Favre pick.

David replied to Little Slide Rooter's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
lol you really had to ask that? even if it could be real, you didn't think that after a month you might've heard something about it? -
I wondered the same thing at the time. I can only imagine they had to wait for inflammation to go down or something? They can't be that incompetent, can they? That or he was trying to see if he could rehab without surgery.

http://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/2010/1/17/1255925/uzr-error-fail-or-win-a-lesson-on#storyjump - The rest here I'm sure a lot of people here know this stuff (in fact, I know they do) already, but I still found it a pretty interesting read.

I thought it was pretty obvious.
-
They seem to have been pretty content to wait the past few years when they started playing better. They should have added Gasol a few years ago, but fell in love with their own roster. They were linked with Amar'e and Garnett at one point too. If a trade is going to obviously improve the team they're going to do it. Sometimes deals just fall through. Yeah, teams often overrate their own guys, but the only big deal we've heard rumored this year is for Bush and it's pretty hard to imagine they'd turn it down along the lines that have been discussed unless Toronto is asking for the moon. If LA is going to give them Bynum, I can't imagine Toronto getting a better return than that. Coupled with the fact that the Raptors pretty much know he's gone, I have a strong feeling that deal will go down if it is, in fact, being discussed. Man, that would make for a ridiculously scary LA team. I'd instantly put a lot of money on the Lakers winning the championship if it does. I guess I don't understand how the NBA cap works, because there should be no way that team fits under the cap. To be honest, I have no idea how it would work, especially because I think Bynum is a base year contract right now... I've just seen the reports that a deal was out there as those guys being the main pieces.
-
In case nobody has noticed, since December 1st, in 22 games (a pretty solid sample size IMO) Rose has averaged the following 20.5 ppg on .472 shooting, 6.5 apg (and rising now that his teammates can actually make shots), and 4 rpg And he's actually been even better in Jan than he was in Dec Those January averages (7 games) are... 20.7 ppg on .512 shooting, 7.4 apg, and 4.4 rebounds

They were linked with Amar'e and Garnett at one point too. They were never going to make a trade to make the team better right now, per se. They'll make a trade to put them in a better position for 2010 (or that will acquire a 2010 player for them, if that opportunity presents itself). That's what this year is all about and no amount of success this year is going to change that.
-
That is both surprising and encouraging. Is it really encouraging at all when it's 4-13? The fact that their division manages to contain three worse road teams doesn't make me feel any better. Just saying. Basically, that was just my semi-condescending way of letting you know they're 4-13 on the road.
