QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 05:08 PM) Will be hilarious though if Parsons agrees to offer sheet on day 1 of free agency to mavs (rumored to be hot on his heels) which severely restricts their cap space immediately. Also depends on dumping Lin. s***, I'd be all for the Bulls signing him to an offer sheet. You potentially get the guy and you burn the Rockets for taking advantage of a bulls*** loophole

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 04:22 PM) Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA · 3m No guarantees made, but Danny Granger/Josh McRoberts committed to Heat w/ strong belief LeBron James will be a teammate, sources tell Yahoo. I wouldn't put it past Reilly to be deceitful, either. I'd imagine deceit was the only method they could use to get Udonis Haslem to opt out

Just remember that Carlos is following the advice given to him. I doubt he's a prick, he's just someone who knows much less about this process than his agent.

I had such an awful customer service experience at DiGiorno's the one time I ate there that I haven't eaten since and I don't remember whether it was any good. Topper's in Wisconsin....that's some gross/amazing s***

I think Dayan would have no problem making $5 million as a FA

Alexei!!

I don't think it's a non-factor, but I think it is a tiny factor.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 6, 2014 -> 06:31 PM) It depends on if they are willing to pay him $5 million as a 2nd year arb candidate next year. Given that they are committed to much less than half of the payrolls we've had in the past, I don't think the cash will deter us from giving it a shot

Kazmir and Buerhle were less deserving than Sale, but Kluber was snubbed also and is definitely more deserving.

I think Alexei is the best bet of them all. Not sure if anyone else gets in, but they very well may.

This is what they deserve for taking their only remaining MiLB starter and turning him into a relief pitcher.

It's a deal where you can hate the plan and be disappointed that the trade signals the continuation of that plan. At the same time, it's not like the plan doesn't come without its benefits - you can get a good young player in trade like Russell. Some of them will turn out.

Gordon could be the downfall of Hawk's career. Could lose his mind when he's traded

It's not rocket science, here. Dayan has to hit better. We know what a good hitting version of him would look like. A little higher average, a little higher walk rate, and an uptick in power. Bear in mind, when looking at WAR, he's going to have an uphill battle this year playing RF where the defensive portion is going to be even more unkind to him

Groce gets 'em with the Jesus talk

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 11:24 PM) Yet they were one of the finalists for Tanaka. Sox fans should know better. How many times did KW practically file for bankruptcy during his GM tenure? Yeah, there's nobody besides the Cubs saying they were finalists for Tanaka.

There is way too much smoke about the Cubs being out of cash for there not to be a fire.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 08:09 PM) how do you trade gibson though, if he helped you recruit him lol If Melo demands a max deal, he'll understand what would have to happen for him to get it

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 06:47 PM) Think LA can give him more money. It has been said repeatedly that the Bulls believe they can easily make the moves necessary to free up space for a max deal if that's his ask.

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 07:06 PM) I'd rather have the financial flexibility going forward. If you're talking about finding someone to fill out the rotation for the rest of the year, sign Wandy Rodriguez to the minimum. We have a LOT of financial flexibility even with Danks on the roster. I'll trade Danks if we get good value. His peripherals are horrible right now, I'm not sure if he can keep it up.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 06:33 PM) Woj makes it sound like the Lakers are really moving in on Anthony. I interpret that to be good news. If he's considering Lakers, there's no way he isn't considering Bulls

22% K rate isn't exactly alarming and you can't ignore his team-leading OBP either.

I wouldn't mind Brian Roberts as a backup PG. I'd like Trevor Ariza, but I'm so uncertain about what kind of player he is that I'm not sure the expenditure will make sense for us. I kinda like Nick Young, but I have no clue what he'll cost. These are all in the "we don't get Carmelo situation."
