  1. It seems like dozens of times already that Fields has put the ball in a place for the receiver to make a huge play. His numbers could be so much better, You'd have to think Claypool can bring many of those down especially with his size.
  2. I am all about building through the draft but I agree with this 100%. I'd rather they use the pick to get something that is more of a sure thing at this position. It appears the Bears have their QB now it is time to get him weapons, not projects or hope that the pick becomes something.
  3. Historically I was all about through the draft but the Bears have missed on WR's for so long, I would be all for trading a pick (and maybe one lesser pick) to get a bonafide stud. Seeing how it's worked Philly, Buffalo and Miami is making me look at it differently, those #1's they got have completely changed their offenses.
  4. I, personally, want nothing to do with Juju. Nothing against him and I don't think he's bad but He's in an offense that does nothing but throw the ball with the greatest TE in history opening things up for him and the greatest QB talent ever. His biggest season also came with prime AB on the other side. I could be wrong but I don't think he's every truly been a #1 which is what this team desperately need
  5. Just a reminder that “fire GarPax” chants picked up steam leading to its coming out party at the NBA ASG in Chicago. It worked and maybe it does here, too. I feel bad for the old guy but Sox fans are easy to please, we sat through some horrible years and here we are. To have the team (despite the injuries) at 5-6 games back is a great feat, but that’s not why there chants are coming up. It’s because the game has completely passed him by and he refuses to change and even the amateur fan can make better decisions at this point.
  6. I agree. But why did Yaz initiate over TA is my question.
  7. Why did Grandal start the commotion and not TA when he heard it? I know Yaz was sticking up for him but did it bother Tim they much if he didn’t do anything about it originally?
  8. Yikes, this could get crazy if it gets leaked with Donaldson said.
  9. When they drafted him, it was known to be a project. He's 20 and with his injury, he's played a little over 1 full season of games so far. He's got a lot to work on, maybe Derozan's bootcamp will help him. He did seem a little lost with his role this year, how much of that had to do with his injuries (sprained ankle early and then wrist surgery), IDK. There was an article out recently that stated PW noticed Derozan's routine of shooting early and late into the night and how he treated his body every day and that PW started to mirror that. Those are the types of things most like to see, somebody following a star and actually wanting to get better.
  10. A likely crappy ending for the Bulls season. Ultimately, they ended at the 6 seed where many thought they'd land in preseason but the last few months were super disappointing. Even though it's tough to spin the last half of the season, the management team did a really solid job in a quick turnaround to make most of this season exciting. They know the holes...now go fix them. I really wonder what will happen with Lavine, he was a killer until he got banged up the last few months, terrible timing in a contract year with the money he will get.
  11. I remember somebody telling me we’d hate Demar come playoff time. Here we go.
  12. Monstars took away all of their talent on offense.
  13. Personally, I think Drummond is possibly the most important part of this trade for the Nets. Simmons on the court with the ball in his hands allows defenders to sag off to double Kyrie or KD, Simmons on court without the ball is basically a waste based on the last time we had seen them. Defensively, it is great. Drummond comes in and could easily double the amount of rebounds that KD (their 2nd highest rebounder after Harden) and do a lot of dirty work.
  14. I started my long position on LICY today at $8.03 - I really appreciate you mentioning that ticker. Love the potential and I agree with everything, I was getting ready to start looking into that sector because I am currently looking at EV's to buy. Thanks!
  15. Lol I’m not sure. I just saw it on twitter when searching Zach.
  16. Guy from PFF on twitter says 3 pinched nerves and on way to hospital.

    NFTs

    Honestly, I only have one right now. Cronos Chimp Club and it has a lot of promise. It’s Crypto.com’s first NFT on their Defi Wallet. According to their roadmap, they plan to get celebs involved and have some involvement with the metaverse. They came out about a month ago, the floor on Sunday morning was 3,000 CRO, that came down to about 2,000 CRO right now with CRO dipping. Many think crypto.com will end up being the biggest exchange in the world so these are expected to gain a lot of traction over the next year.
  18. I see a lot of people talking about this, Sabonis is a beast but Him and Vuc would not work, is Vuc is going to go from a 1st option one year ago to a possible 4th? Wouldn't go well. Besides, when is the last time that a team traded a player of Sabonis' caliber to a division rival? I doubt that Indy wants to get dominated by Sabonis for years to come because they would undoubtedly find a way to keep him over Vuc in the future. The Bulls have their big 3, whoever they may pick up, will have a role but it won't be to be a top 3 scorer on the team. Probably more 3D or a backup big when Vuc is off the court that can score pretty decently.

    NFTs

    Not long ago, I sounded like most on this thread but if you are at a point in your life where you want the opportunity to create generational wealth (NFA), I suggest you do some research on the Metaverse, NFT's, Blockchain, etc. There are definitely some projects that will end up worthless but many are not. It's much bigger than you think. Everyone of us will be using an NFT for nearly everything in 10+ years. Art, music, event tickets, real estate, etc. It's not just people that got rich on crypto and are paying insane amounts of money for things because they can (ok, some of it is). Soon, you will buy your ticket on an app and if that event becomes historical (no hitter, world series, etc), you can turn that into an NFT which will be authenticated on the blockchain and if you want, you can sell it and prove it's real. Further off, NFT's will also be authenticated for physical items so fashion, art, etc. ensuring uniqueness and ownership. Think of it as a digital version of an upper deck authentication. Two of the biggest industries in the world in the future may have to do with NFT's. One being video gaming and play to earn (which already happens in gaming) but this would be more advanced. Another is NFT's within real estate. Think of a group wanting to build a commercial building and instead of going to a bank, they provide you with an NFT asset (could be anything, a rare version of a song, a piece of art, etc.) and they tokenize their project where the people are the owners, not the banks. Think about the opportunity of you tokenizing your own house/equity on the blockchain to generate cash flow because that will happen in the future. If you'd like, you can provide the token holders with an NFT asset as a cushion to create trust and partnership. Everything will be automated and digital, even more than it is now. It's big enough that they are no longer ignoring it and have met about it this week with the government.
  20. Fans were chanting Fire Nagy fairly loud. Gonna need to dial it up a lot more if they actually want that to happen.
  21. Out of these three and with the current makeup of the team, Wood is the one. They need another big that can score and rebound much more than they need another wing. Personally, I already think they are a contender. They have a legit big 3.5 with Lonzo and Vuc hasn’t even played decent.
  22. I think others made some great points but to the layman, I think what he did in Toronto was forgotten about to fans outside of Toronto once Kawhi came in and won a title. Many just assumed he was super overrated and forgot about the great run they had with him. In SA, they stunk so despite his numbers as a playmaker, I believe people just started writing him off. I know a guy from Toronto that still loves Derozan so much, that he flew in to Chicago just to see him play DRose a couple of weeks back. He's still loved there, big time. I do remember people were very hurt by that trade because they knew Kawhi wasn't going to stick around and Derozan gave everything to them, obviously, a title got them over that. In 2016, he was the 5th leading scorer in the NBA, that is no joke. Then Toronto dumped his ass LOL
  23. Started off great but GS adjusted perfectly. Golden State is the king of small ball, if you don’t have a dangerous big, you have little chance. I’m glad to get this out of the way early in the trip as a bit of a wake up call. I still think this Bulls team can pretty much beat anybody when healthy from what we have seen so far. I’m not too upset, 3 starters had only made one shot by end of the 3rd, doesn’t matter how good the D is, that will not happen again.
  24. Year 3 for Coby, this is when many players put up or shut up. He has his flaws but if he can increase his shooting % another 2.5% as he did last year, we are looking at a 44% shooter off the bench that can catch fire and change games. Jamal Crawford is seen as one of, if not the best 6th man ever and he shot 41% for his career. Coby is practically the same size, He has the potential to get better.
