I bet if you look around the league, most front offices are talking about this because its the reality we are in right now. I'm all for Joc especially if Vaughn is being brought up here in short order. I know there's no such thing as being too greedy/good when it comes to sports, but we're really talking about a bottom of the order bat here. With Vaughn and Joc at DH and RF we're talking about a 7-9 of Vaughn/Joc/Madrigal. That's just insane to me.

Is there a reason there's been no talk about Bauer lately? Did I miss something or are we just tired of talking about him.

There's talks about the Celtics trying for Harden as well. It looks like Donovan played a lot of 3 guard sets with SGA, Paul, and Schroeder all leading the team in minutes. Kemba, Lavine, White could be fun.

Rus wants out of Houston....Should the Bulls be interested? As I stated before, Cheeks is like a mentor to him and he had his best years under Donovan.

I'm also really behind Adam Eaton coming back. Eaton in the 8 spot ahead of Madrigal sounds like it could be a fun way to turn the lineup over.

The Marquez and Blackmon for something less than Vaughn as a headliner sounds too good to be true but man would I be pumped for that. Blackmon has been one of the more underrated players in the game imo. He's older yes, but the Sox are clearly goin for it next year, and Charlie friggin Blackmon would probably bat in the lower 3rd of this lineup. How crazy is that?

To me, Deni is the only guy that makes sense if Ball is gone. Still makes the most sense if Balls there too IMO. I'm really excited to see the development of White under Donovan and Cheeks. I'm not comparing the 2, but Westbrook attributes Cheeks to his development as a PG anddd Westbrooks best years were under Donovan. I'm not ready to give up on White as a starting PG. I think he turns into a stud.

I'm not sure what you expect from him behind that offensive line. I mean the Bears played 2 guys that were on the practice squad, Ifedi is playing guard for the first time this year, Coward is a DT convert who had been playing OG and played OT yesterday, and Leno is just the shiniest turd. Idk how they get it done but this team needs 3 new offensive linemen. Both tackles and a OG.

Honestly if they were smart they would play mitch. But Nagy wouldn't use him right so what's the point? Foles is good for a few throws when the pocket holds up, the problem is it rarely does. At least with Mitch you can utilize his legs. Last 2 weeks showed you prime examples of how you should use Mitch. You see how often Goff booted out of the pocket because of the bears pass rush?? That gives you more time to throw, or like Goff did a few times, pick up chunks of yardage. Or look at Taysum Hill today. The defense knew what was coming when Hill was under center and Hill still gashed the D. Those were designed runs. Mitch doesn't always just have to run the ball when a play breaks down, draw up some designed runs for him as well. I want 2018 Mitch back damnit.

I'm really excited for the season. I still think this is a playoff team if healthy. I'm hoping they roll the dice with Deni in the draft if he's there. If he plays up to the scouting reports, I like the fit and I think he'd allow you to play Coby and Lavine at the same time a lot more without really worrying about ball movement. They have their trade exemption to use to add a vet, and I like Jae Crowder with that. Bring back Jo on a vet minimum PG- White-Sato SG- Lavine- Crowder SF- Deni-Porter PF- Lauri-Rookie guy from last year whose name escapes me C- Carter-Noah

Haven't posted in here in quite awhile(nor has anyone) but man....I was binge watching AEW and I just wanna say how happy I am to see Eddie Kingston FINALLY get a push on a bigger stage. Dude is a legend.

I kinda hate this question, because I like Madrigal and think Moncada should stay put, but didn't the Sox play Vaughn at 3B a bit in ST? Could the logic be Vaughn at 3B with Moncada moving back to 2B. Maybe move Timmy to RF and Madrigal to SS? That's A LOT of shuffling but it seems possible. In the end though, now that I think about it, that only makes since if McCann is brought back or they insist on keeping EE at DH. Do teams ever really do such wholesale changes?

I could be wrong here, but Lauri is a free agent in 2021, so hypothetically speaking can't the Bulls sign 2 max guys and then go over the cap to resign Lauri? Dream scenario would be Coby and Lauri both panning out and Lavines 3 ball being legit. Then you add in AD and Giannis. White-Lavine-Giannis-AD-Lauri

Watching Thunder highlights, ya know who I'd be totally ok with Lauri becoming??? A taller Danillo Galinari. I see Galinari doing a lot of things I think Lauri should be doing.

Are people giving up on Coby as a PG? Certainly not comparing the 2 but Donovan did well with Rus at PG. All that said, it sure would be nice to have him in a Lou Williams role.
