QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 11:14 AM) I know hating Hinrich is a thing, but in his role, Kirk plays a big role on a team. Can he start and play 35 minutes? Hell no. He is a valuable bench member who helps the Bulls. He helps the Bulls when healthy. I'd say he hurts the Bulls almost as much, because he can't be depended on and the roster thin at guard has to make up for his many missed games.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 09:59 AM) Ryan Howard's another interesting name, depending on how much the Phillies eat...and it would have to be around $35 of the remaining $60 million on his contract. What that would cost the White Sox, no idea...but he's been terrible this year. To the point where he's better against lefties than righties bad. I don't get how a human mind could ever instruct it's body's fingers to type something like the above.

Everyone stfu about Summer League statistics. Last year, Marquis Teague put up 18.3 ppg 4.8 apg.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 06:50 PM) Dawn/Apes was top notch. Liked all the different conflicts. I agree with this. I was shocked at how enjoyable it was.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 20, 2014 -> 08:56 AM) Woke up in the middle of the night feeling pain in my abdominal area, at first I thought it was gas, then maybe a pulled muscle. But there was no position I could get comfortable in and the pain got worse until it started feeling like a knife, so I had my wife take me to the ER. After a few hours of agony and a CT scan, turns out I have a kidney stone, this is awesome. I bet there was some gas involved, too.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 20, 2014 -> 11:13 AM) It's also made Golden State up their offer as well. I really want Love, but that's seemingly unrealistic at this point, so with that said I really hope they trade him to GS. Golden State has to be dead at this point. They can't match Cleveland with Wiggins on the table. When losing a superstar like Love, this is a dream come true scenario for them.

Aaron Brooks has legit talent and is a perfect addition.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 06:21 PM) The thing about the amnesty that f***s you is that it happens after everyone has spent their money. He would have gotten himself paid if he became available July 1 He still gets the 17 million from Chicago. Carlos Boozer make almost as much as LeBron James this year. He's doing ok.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 01:50 PM) Check the history on that. Nothing really happens. That was over 30 years ago, though.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 01:18 PM) Meh. There will be a lot of noise, maybe some sanctions, nothing of importance will happen. For shooting down a f***ing passenger jet?

Apparently, Russia is the f***ed.

When I read the headline, I thought it was an update on the missing Malaysian flight. This is terrifying. Ukraine is f***ed.

Good thread and great point. Excellent get for the Sox and has been since the day we landed Q.

The NBA submitted an official proposal to reform the lottery this week at competition committee meetings in Las Vegas, pushing aside the Wheel idea in favor of a revised weighting system that shifts each team’s odds of getting the top pick, per several sources who have seen and reviewed the league’s proposal. http://grantland.com/the-triangle/nba-lott...form-is-coming/

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 11:33 AM) So the Pacers starting backcourt is currently George Hill and CJ Miles....yikes...And we think the Bulls have guard issues. What the Pacers are has nothing to do with what the Bulls are.

I'm sure a lot of teams out there are willing to trade their bad players.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 09:53 AM) Charlotte is much better than say the Knicks. I think Charlotte finishes with the 6-8 seed. Which is the very definition of NBA Hell.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 09:20 AM) This is a message board, you feel one way, not everyone is going to agree. I've given my reasons as to why I don't like Love, and I'm not the only one who feels that way. Works for me.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 07:51 AM) Really? A guy who has played 65 games or fewer 3 of the last 4 seasons and was worth fewer "win shares" than the 23 year old in each of the last 2 seasons? Man, I see how Gasol fits with the Bulls but that strikes me as an equal stretch. Win shares? Ok, and Pau had a PER of 19.3 vs Lance's 14.7.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 07:31 AM) 9 million per. Has to be best value of the offseason for a guy switching teams (not named lebron) Really? Pau Gasol at 7.3 seems like the better get to me.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 07:40 AM) Your whole list is f***ed. To expand - Rose has a max contract and has hardly played in three years. Westbrook, while awesome in the bounceback season, has his own worries regarding his legs. Bosh, I mean that one's not even worth discussing. Dwight is a shell of his former self (still very good, but his efficiency is light years behind Love). Harden is the only one you could really argue, but I think I'd still lean Love. Kevin Love was 3rd in PER behind LeBron and Durant last season. Sorry, not trying to pick on you, but your post was ignorant and laughable.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 03:03 AM) Yeah, going further, I'd take healthy Rose, Westbrook, Bosh, Howard and Harden over Love too. Just not a fan of his. I wouldn't trade Wiggins for him, no way. Your whole list is f***ed.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 07:09 AM) 3 yr/ 27mil (3rd year looks like a team option) That's a really solid deal for both - Lance sets himself up for a nice little payday if he continues to develop. Charlotte's on the right track. I mean, they won't ever win anything and are smack dab in the middle of NBA hell, but at least they aren't going to lose 50 games.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 16, 2014 -> 06:30 AM) I have zero problem with Wainwright grooving a pitch to Jeter. The problem is that the All-Star Game shouldn't count. Exactly. I still don't get why it was a big deal that the game in Miller Park tied, anyway. I miss when they used to "goof around" and have fun during the All-Star Game. The NHL and NBA do All-Star festivities right. Also, MLB needs to find something other than this conventional HR derby. Did anyone sit through that 4 hours?
