    I really don't understand why people think the Hawks can choose to trade Campbell if they want to. Nobody wants his contract, AND he has a NTC. If they were able to move Campbell instead of doing all this other stuff, you don't think they would have? Of course they would have.

    Why? Hjalmarsson is a well above average d-man, and Niemi is an average goalie. Choosing him over Hjlmarsson because of a good few rounds in the playoffs would have been dumb. We don't compete next season without Hjalmarsson on the second pairing with Campbell. Lol what? Yeah, it's not like they have had a forward on the cover of the NHL games for 2 straight years. And that's not even mentioning Hossa. This is just a ridiculous thing to say. If they weren't going to do that, we wouldn't have even been able to keep Hjalmarsson, soooo

    One think I think the Heat and their fans are underestimating is the fact that teams are going to be gunning for them every night. It didn't help when LeBron said the games would be easy, either.

    I'm still very interested to hear how they plan on handling Dwight Howard or Pau Gasol with Bosh and Ilgauskas/Shaw/Brad Miller/whatever they throw out there.

    That's nice and all, but when are the results actually going to show up? This is what we talk about every year with BJ Upton. How he's supposed to be good and how he should be good, but then you look at the numbers and he's not good.

    I don't remember any criticism at all Also, Foley was in love with him all season

    I'm still dumb with contracts. So if we matched him, does that mean he's ours? Or can other teams still sign him to offer sheets?
  10. 17 Seconds
    Yeah, I'd rather take a gamble on him than more depth type prospects. BJ Upton is the player Corey Patterson was supposed to be. The Rays are sour on on him b/c he doesn't run as fast as he can to get to balls in the gap and some other things attitude wise. What? BJ Upton kind of sucks. That's why they've soured on him. 2008- .273/.383/.401 2009- .241/.313/.373 2010- .230/.320/.395 He's getting ready to turn 26. Where are the results? I'd take him for Lilly in a second. Upton played hurt all last year. Is he playing hurt again this year? Yea, I'd take him for Lilly too..... but he's "what Patterson was supposed to be"? When? 2008? Unless you're saying Patterson was supposed to be a .700 OPS hitter

    After his .894 OPS in 2007, he has kind of fallen off a cliff (.784, .686, .715 since) but he's only 25 (26 in August) and was an elite prospect (#2 in baseball in 2004). His past two BABIPs have been a bit lower than his career average as well (.334 career; .310 in 2009 and .290 this year). Defensively, he's very good according to UZR/150: 10.7 in LF and 5.5 in CF. He just lost an arbitration hearing before the year and is making $3 million this year. I'll admit it's more the elite prospect status that intrigues me about him, but I can definitely see the reasons we wouldn't have interest in him. My thinking is, if we can't get one or more current top prospect(s) for Lilly, I'd take Upton before a package of lower minors/upside guys. Yeah, I'd rather take a gamble on him than more depth type prospects. BJ Upton is the player Corey Patterson was supposed to be.

    I hope the Heat get Shaq, AI, and T-Mac so we can see the first ever on-court brawl between members of the same team
  13. 17 Seconds
    If we lose Hjalmarsson I don't think we're even a lock for the playoffs
  14. 17 Seconds
    That was the back breaker
  15. 17 Seconds
    2009- .322/.414/.567 2010- .314/.421/.588 who could have predicted such a great season
  16. 17 Seconds
    I think there's like a .0000001% chance Fisher signs with the Heat. The only chance would be if it turned out his daughter didn't need that doctor in LA anymore, and I still don't think he would do it. It's Phil Jackson's last season, Kobe's attempt at #6 (to tie Jordan), and their chance together at a second three-peat. He's not leaving. He's just trying to get more out of the Lakers.

    no way niemi ends up being had at 2.2. he's going to get paid
  18. 17 Seconds
    apparently that's what he said as the intro thing. i don't know if it was 7 in a row or just 7 total. either way, i don't see it, especially when most people think wade is going to start slowing down in a couple years
  19. 17 Seconds
    but speaking of d-wade, good lord is that guy a scumbag. 2 months ago i liked him. whoops he's not saying the bulls "played on my emotions" to come to chicago. now he says that he left his real family to join his "miami family". he says miami is "now my real family" way to go, dwyane. so the heat have lebron, the biggest [expletive] in pro sports. they have wade, a 2-face.. and they have bosh, a little tagalong trying to get his face everywhere and go along for the ride. and we're probably going to have to see them celebrate a title at least 2-3 times over the next 6 years. oh and btw lebron, you're not winning 7 titles, you clown. this dude is saying the games are "going to be easy" when falls comes around and that they're going to win 7. right. even if it works out great, you aren't winning every year. and even if you do, jordan's 6 and kobe's 5-6 will still be way ahead of your 7.

    and gave up a lot of money to do it

    RedFlash are you going to answer the question of what the "real story" was on Fisher leaving Utah?

  24. 17 Seconds
    Rumors he's going to Miami. That's Mike Miller Brad Miller too as part of the MLE. I'm disappointed in you, Brad Where did you see that?
