i think it would be a mistake to trade williams, but i could part with roach who has more value, anyway.

Unless the Jags move up to overdraft him, I could definitely see him being there. There hasn't been much buzz around Asamoah that I've heard. he was a top 15 pick a few months ago, the best guard available. You sure about that? Maybe I missed it but I never once heard him ranked ahead of Iupati and don't remember ever seeing him in the top 15. FYI both McShay and Kiper have him going to the Eagles in the 2nd round either at 37 or 55. it may have been more than a few months ago, but i saw one mock that had him at 11.

yeah, we feel pain and hate and fear and shame, and it's normal for humans to feel such things. we just don't have necromancers to wipe them away.

Really? Even if the team sucks next year it'd be pretty cool to see a football game live at wrigley. there's no "even if" about it. but it could be that you're right.

i doubt any illini fans will care to attend.

probably, considering no cav fan on this board is old enough to remember "the shot", or even the "cream-puff game" in which the cavs smashed the jordan-led bulls after they admitted to looking ahead to a match-up with the knicks in the ecf. when you have six titles you start to inspire myth. jordan is not just a legend, he is legend. at some point, someone will conjure an image of the entire 88-89 cavs team being consumed by lightning like beloch and the nazis in raiders of the lost ark, while a legion of angels bore mj off the court, fist-raised. i've also heard that mj's heart beats one time per minute. but he's earned everything that could ever be said about him on the court.

john jerry isn't even a top 5 guard. asamoah is the best of the rest on everyone's list. although jerry is a plodding roadgrader that would fit well with the bears offense, but i'd still take asamoah.

as i've said in the other thread, i would love to see jon asamoah fall to them at 75.
-
i love nick anderson but i'm still kind of sore at him for that play.
-
could Jon Asamoah fall to the bears? and if he does, do they take him?
-
maybe jordan and pippen pulled an all-night road trip just to show the wizards that they didn't need sleep to beat them.
-
again, i am not talking about joakim noah, i am talking about lebron james.

The Bulls weren't going to expend any more energy than necessary against a team like Washington that year. They did exactly what was required to win, nothing more. They had a championship to win, and Washington wasn't worth blowing out by 20. Jordan did things like that because he knew it would stick in players' craw, which from Webber's comments 13 years later it sounds like he still hasn't gotten over it. that's not disrespectful, that's [expletive] pimp. this is not exactly jordan dancing around like a fool and disrespecting everyone including himself while the game is still going on. by the way, cwebb, who won the championship that year?
-
if he does, it will be because he played with another superstar. he can't do it on his own, imo. if he does, i'll admit that i was wrong.
-
are you [expletive] kidding me? nobody is arguing that the act of winning a championship in itself makes you great. that's either one of the dumbest or one of the most dishonest things i've ever heard. championships are a byproduct of greatness. if you don't have one, then maybe you weren't the total package after all. lebron has time, but i don't see it. in part, because of the last 3-point shot he took last night. it clanged off the side iron and was nowhere close to going in. you can almost hear him saying "square up, elevate, elbow in, follow through" on every jump-shot he takes. in every other field, he's a natural, he's had to work his ass off to be the shooter he is today, and i think he's about capped-out. the gods granted tithonus eternal life, but not eternal youth, and the gods granted lebron great physical abilities, but not a great shot. his one flaw will make his many gifts a condemnation. completely different, but anyway, wins are a byproduct of ability. there are no pitchers with 300 wins that weren't great pitchers. they weren't great because they won, but rather they won because they were great.
-
both, probably.

why would i wish a thing like that? if i'm making an irrational wish, i'm gonna wish for someone who can coach a little bit. seeing as how self was an average recruiter and below average coach who won with someone else's recruits at illinois, i see no reason why i should want him back. i'm not saying i'd rather have weber, but if i've obtained one of ku's jinns, self isn't at the top of the list. the only thing he excels at is dealing with handlers, beyond that, he has no skill at anything. i mean, he knows how to obtain goods and services for legal tender, i guess that's a skill. he succeeds in recruiting at ku because of all the reasons i've outlined before. in short, ku fans, supporters, alums, and boosters don't care how they win and they have no shame. at illinois, people fear the wrath of God.

everything is fine, good night.

are you guys honestly looking for the approval of da bum? why does his opinion even matter to you? it's like arguing with a guy selling geodes at the bus stop.

Why wait? That's like saying Jordan wasn't living up to the hype for the first 5 years of his career. Just because a player can't literally do everything all the time for their team doesn't mean they're not living up to the hype. yeah, 6 titles didn't do anything for jordan's career. Jordan didn't win any(or even make the finals) til he was 28. LeBron is 25. jordan had some great teams and great players blocking him. said teams were also allowed to beat the crap out of his teams physically. plus, jordan weighed like 150 pounds when he came to the nba, lebron has been a 30 year old man since he was 16.

I have no idea what your response is supposed to mean. I was pointing out how it's dumb to act like a player can't be great until they win a title. I never said anything about the titles helping or not helping Jordan's career. What a weird, random thing to say. at some point a player has to win a big game or big series. if he doesn't, he's missing something. i don't see lebron doing it with this team and i don't see this team getting any better.
-
i will get on his nuts when he wins a title. i don't think that's happening without a guy who can take the last shot and no i don't mean anthony parker. cleveland ain't winning unless they get a good team to lose interest in an important playoff series. Titles? Really? Titles are on the level with wins/RBI/batting average when judging a player's worth. Bill wennington has more rings than Karl Malone....so what? Eli Manning is a better QB than Dan Marino. FACT. no, but i think joe montana was a better quarterback than dan marino.
