QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 09:22 PM) Why would Portland do this, unless they have a deal for CP3 in the pipeline? It was reported that the Blazers had a trade for Cp3 worked out before the draft and the Hornets backed out and the last minute. There's a chance that this could be revisited

A Portland board is claiming that a Deng to the Blazers for Przybilla and Bayless is in the works, We'll see if there's any truth to this very soon.

I'm going to run. You guys better be popping some champagne by the time i'm back.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 07:01 PM) Source? I think this might be from WOJO, i'll go check.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 06:59 PM) Bulls trying to trade Deng to Utah for Okur now This fits in with an earlier report about the Bulls wanting Okur to tutor Asik.

The good is that there's enough smoke here to make me want to pass out from the fumes. I'm buzzing right now.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 06:53 PM) that's the Knick's best option at this point, not a great one, but they need to see if they can scrounge something out of this, because it looks like they are out of contention for any of the other impact guys The Knicks might be able to make a play at Boozer or Bosh, if they get left out of the Bulls Holy Crap extravaganza. The problem is they'd be playing nearly everone small and out of position.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 06:46 PM) Damn. 4 years is way too much. But that's a nice move. Another sniper who can actually create some offense. He’s basically a mini-Hinrich. He’ll facilitate the bigs in that lineup very nicely.

Find me a better NBA Finals then this: Lakers Bulls Blake Rose Bryant Wade Artest James Gasol Gibson Bynum Noah

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 06:37 PM) Will somebody explain to me how on earth Wade/Lebron/Rose would work together? A s*** load of driving to the basket with a touch of pick and roll. The Bulls fastbreak would be Unstoppable

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 06:31 PM) I think Wade is more surprised about the interest between him and the Bulls than anyone else. As of 2 weeks ago, he wasn't even considering it. As of 2 years ago, he wasn't even considering it!! It always seemed to me like Wade and Bosh were the targets prior to the playoff series with the Cavs, where Lebron on the Bulls became more then just a distant wet dream. Coupled with the "Loyalty" debacle, people just fell out of love with D-Wade.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 06:29 PM) Yes, the Bulls have drafted quite well the last few years. That Deng contract still makes me want to hurt small animals, though. He's a solid player. But damn he's overpaid. The thing is… after the Gay and Johnson max deals, Deng’s deal has started to look much better to teams around the league.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 06:22 PM) chadfordinsider I've confirmed the Wade-Bulls meeting tonight. Source believes Wade is leaning toward joining Bulls ... Link coming oh snap! The catalyst for this entire offseason is none other than Taj Gibson. As soon as he proved that he could be a serviceable NBA player, the priorities of this organization shifted. A decent four around Rose and Noah made this roster so much more appealing.

I'm man enough to admit that not only did i love Toy Story 3 but that i got choked up at the end. I'm one of the people who grew up at a pretty consistent pace with the franchise so i imagine that helped.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 05:56 PM) The Milicic domino has already fallen. I just don't see what's so interesting about the rest of this process. I can't tell you how dissapointed i am that Gay didn't go to Wolves. I really thought they'd have something good going with some Gay-Johnson-Love-Sessions.

Even if we fail here, i'll know Pax, Thibo and Gar worked their asses off for the fans and this city. I've very impressed.

"WojYahooNBA Wade, Chicago meeting for second time on Friday as Wade becomes further intrigued with Bulls -- and possible LBJ partnership. link coming." Brace Yourselves, people. s*** just got real.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 05:04 PM) That's just the sendlebrontochicago.com guy tweeting a link he's not actually reporting it. That guy is rangercal too btw. But the guy reporting it is Doug Thomas who is some big shot at the realgm forums, they love him there and I believe he has broken stories in the past. I’m not on Real Gm but I follow it pretty closely and Thonus is on the level. If he’s heard this there’s either something behind it or he’s being mislead. He wouldn’t lie.

Turk has a 15% trade kicker. Basically, he makes the same amount of money as Deng he gets moved. It's a no go. If there's a trade it'll include Gibson, Johnson, some picks, and maybe a TPE.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 04:06 PM) Hedo wants to go to Orlando or Sacramento. Weren't there trades out there involving guys from those teams and the Bulls? I've heard Deng for Pietrus-Gortat. As a sourced rumor. and Deng- Landry/Garcia as a fan rumor.

This free agent watch is killing me. I literally can't focus on anything else but Lebron and Bosh. Not even the White Sox.

This feels like a series where we could get the living s*** beaten out of us. I'm praying that's not the case. Hopefully, our pitching shows up long enough for Konerko and Rios to bail our asses out of any fire the rest of our s***ty lineup creates.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 07:50 PM) I'll take that, and in the meantime, Hot Fire can just DH, with Vizquel at 3B. I have no gripes w/ that. I think we all have the right to dream, but to quote Mean Girls, "Joe, stop trying to make Hot Fire happen! It's not going to happen!"

God, the new Potter films look badass. That's one of the better trailers, i've ever seen.
