    I don't think Billy Beane is a very good GM. He's made a lot of bad moves the past few years.

    or maybe they're all just messing with us and i'm falling for it.

    Looks like Bosh to Miami may be happening First we have these tweets from Rick Ross (friend of Wade) http://twitter.com/rickyrozay Then Bosh puts this on his twitter- Just had dinner w @dwadeofficial. Great way to end day 1 of #freeagency although it feels like someone is missing...... ...with this picture attached http://media.whosay.com/1297/1297_la.jpg Talking about LeBron I assume

    i think we have to dump reasoner. we can't afford to be paying a 4th line center 1.2 mil

    Does that take the Huet situation into account? yup

    what do guys think the odds are of the 2011-2012 season being played?

    kinda saw it coming after we lost pretty much all our toughness in eager/burish/byfuglien

    so do we HAVE to trade deng if we want lebron? i mean not money-wise, but space-wise? there's no chance deng can play PF, right?

    for people who have knowledge on the guys we've gotten back this offseason- how far away do you think most of them are from the NHL? will any of them help us this year?

    who is that dude

    If that is an actual quote (I haven't read the article or whatnot that quote is from) then the Knicks might as well be working overtime trying to either get Lee back into fold or someone like Boozer or Ama're......cause DAMN for James to be just sitting there basically waiting for the Knicks to leave is very bad....Yet the Knicks fans still think they have a shot. ha no, not an actual quote.

    they also made him a max offer, but yeah. i read about the "take way less money and get 2 other guys" thing a few days ago originally, but i didn't think they'd actually go through with it.

    i don't think the injury exemption stuff was true. that all originated from some message boards posters. everybody has reported 55.2 million. im pretty sure thats our cap.

    so the knicks' big pitch to lebron was that he take a salary of 11.5 mil and then have him recruit 2 other superstars to take the same kind of money to play there. so awesome.

    Lou's not to blame for Lee and Ramirez hitting like crap all year, or Zambrano having another meltdown, but Jim Hendry is? For a guy that chastises others for looking for a scapegoat of some sort, you sure seem to be looking for a scapegoat of some sort. So you dont think the bloated contracts and no trade clauses ala Jim Hendry have more to do with the failure of this years Cubs than the fact Hill is getting a few extra starts a month ? Who is arguing otherwise? See, you're giving Lou a free pass because the roster sucks. "Oh well, Lee and Ramirez are awful, so who cares if Lou is making it worse."

    That can't be a good sign if you are associated with the Knicks. I understand James isn't going to tip his hand on what his decision is, but the fact that James seems to be pretty much a robot during the Knicks presentation, is not a good sign. "the dude just sat there. he didn't even say bye when he left."

    i knew bowman was posturing, but he still looks like a moron. "these guys will be chicago blackhawks next season" and then trades him the next day. i expect sharp or bolland to be next.

    It's bad for the Knicks. I'm glad we didn't overpay for him. I think it's good for the Knicks in that it saves them from themselves. Sounded like they were ready to give him the max. WHich is why I think it hurts us. Now the Knicks might be competing with us for a different player... one we actually want. I'm not worried about them at all in terms of anybody that we have a high interest in. But we really have no idea who the Bulls and Knicks are interested in, or what types of things LeBron's decision may hinge on. You never know how things are going to fall into place. LeBron may have a certain type of player he wants the Bulls to get if they're going to sign him, and maybe the Bulls whiff on it because the Knicks overpay for the last one available. I doubt it comes to this, but it's possible. It's just not good that there is one less player out there when so many teams are fighting for the remaining guys. It just would have been nice to see the Knicks give JJ the max and limit the rest of their options.

For a guy that chastises others for looking for a scapegoat of some sort, you sure seem to be looking for a scapegoat of some sort. What Dexter doesn't seem to grasp ,well one of the things, is that his Dusty analogy also made my point. It's not my fault that you didn't understand what I was saying. Yes, team's can win in spite of bad managing, and teams can fail in spite of good managing. SO that means it doesn't matter if you have a crappy manager? No. If the Reds had a decent manager, they'd probably be doing even better this season. It seems like your whole point is "whatever, we're gonna suck anyways so there's no point of blaming Lou". I think Lou has become a very bad manager, period. It's as simple as that. Why give a bad manager a free pass just because the team sucks anyways? So he can hurt us when we actually do have a good team?

    I think it's the other way around. There's still TONS of cap space out there

    Anyways, that's bad for us. Not because we can't get him, but because now the Knicks can't overpay for him. The domino effect is that NY will now go after someone else (and prob overpay) meaning there's 1 less guy available for us LeBron or bust

    Can't wait to read some Hawks forums later. If they hated the guy before, I wonder how they feel about him now (not that it's his fault he's getting that much). "Oh heyyyy Atlanta. Remember all that bad stuff I said about you? Just kiddinnnnnn"
