RockRaines Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 03:22 PM) And it was Hummel. Timberwolves PR @Twolves_PR · 39s Due to overwhelming demand, we'll go ahead & spill the news now: The #Twolves have signed forward Robbie Hummel. Welcome back, Robbie! Announcing he actually has two knees would be more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Man, Cowley is the worst. Tweets in last hour: -Looks like bulls were just being used, ohio news outlet reporting cavs looking for 3rd team to finalize trade - Good news: twolves believe bulls still have best offer - Bad news: bulls actually kinda sorta did not give deadline so there will be no end to this madness.

Brian Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) No lose situation for Bulls with the offer, IMO. Does Cleveland have a deadline to sign Wiggins? Edited July 23, 2014 by Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Lloyd @JasonLloydABJ · 3h #Cavs expect to receive Andrew Wiggins' signed contract paperwork on Thursday. Thus will begin 30-day clock when he can't be traded.

lostfan Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Man, outside of this board (where everyone for the most part sees the forest and the trees) it's funny how many Bulls fans hated this trade - probably something like 80%. So much whining about how the Bulls are stupid to give up so many assets. But these are mostly the same people bemoaning another "Plan B" offseason because our conservative front office can't ever close deals and is too risk-averse/overvalues its assets to pull off any significant deals. Complaining about either one of these things is ok, but both? That just makes you look like a f***ing idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is going to play 40 minutes a night. The need for a second scorer also is gone. How the trade isn't a positive is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 09:15 PM) Plus Thibs has shown an unwillingness to have a deep roster and 10-12 man rotation. That roster is built for the coach as well. I don't buy it, but if that trade is being considered, you pull the trigger in 30 days when you can do it. Bench mob?

Hemming and hawing about "depth" which was useless come playoff time in 2011 and 2012. "But the Spurs!" they say. Like you can just BE the Spurs. I want the Bears to be the Patriots too.
