Official NBA 25-26 Thread
Yeah - I'm not quite sure how the above relates to this...since they were very clear they were going to use a search firm and cast a wide net. I took some of the quotes more positively than others - doesn't mean I'm confident, but feels like a good sign. And while I get the - let the new guy decide on Billy D - I can respect the fact that Billy D knows basketball, is an extremely likeable person who works well with others, and is a very solid head coach (maybe not top 5 head coach - but the combo of his relationship and soft skills and his knowledge makes him more than competent). So I don't see it as big of an issue as some - but doesn't make it perfect. I think the org is better having Billy D involved in the process than if Billy D wasn't here and it was left to the remaining crew to make a decision. I still think their preference would be Billy D becoming president - so I still think there is a scenario where we see a GM come in, Billy D coaches another year or two and than he moves into a president role and they bring in a new coach - while enabling continuity. I liked the quotes from Billy D - around having a smart room vs. a smart individual. I really have never heard a bad thing about the guy. I do worry that he is too focused on winning that they may try to force things vs. doing this proper.

Deng and Masai Ujiri is one rumor out there per cowley. I’d be down with that.

Masai and Myers could be two great candidates if they go experienced route and want to spend some dough.

A lot more smoke around the front office getting blown out. Cowley mentioned Dunleavy Jr as a possible candidate. There is also a random rumor out there of Paxson coming back. Billy D seems safe unless he opts to go back to college.

Let’s win the lottery and get that pick and clean house - it still will be a long journey but I’d finally start feeling a bit better about the Bulls.

2026 Old Sock Drawer
Sox should bring him back - same with Gio. See if you can show they are healthy and get something…not like they are blocking anyone.

This team is bad - offense will be better than it has been but the pitching staff is horrendous. With that said - I think by trade deadline they will at least be interesting to watch as we hopefully see some of their younger pitching prospects and a few more quality positional prospects graduate to the show. I still think we are talking about 29 at the absolute soonest at competing for a wild card and that is a huge squint and hope for a Ishibia injection. The minor league system is at least promising and there are a number of recent picks who are at least not already worthless which is something…we shall see - hopefully we seee growth from The young / newer guys on MLb roster and a lot of good development and progress in minors. But If everything goes well I think we will have Thorpe, Schultz, Smith and McDougall in the rotation in 2nd half of the year and that is a heck of a lot more interesting than anything they have right now…

Exactly this and for 50K this seems so dang short sited. In fairness - maybe this is just part of a laundry list and it’s always something, no idea, but I just am kind of done giving this org the benefit of the doubt.

That is probably your cache / dns not fully recaching yet. So its still maybe pulling / defaulting to the old DNS. Has your mobile started working? We did do the change today to try and solve the Verizon fix. Not sure if it worked or not - can take 24-48 hours until everything fully resolves.

We are going to try some stuff today to get the Verizon issue solved - so could be some bumps along the way while we do that.

Verizon is the known issue - if you are on wifi good...non wifi not good. We are trying to resolve - it appears this is more of a verizon issue than us (at this point), but will take some time for it to resolve.

WBC game threads and catch-all
I was wondering if the opposite would happen - would the players use it to sponsor themselves and generate revenues while on lock out - but maybe there is something that would prevent them? You also wonder while on lockout would the Japanese league find ways to lure existing MLB talent or would those owners not cross the line (for a lack of a better term).

The default will actually change based upon your device or computers settings - so at night will go dark vs stay light during day. You can also go to very bottom left of screen and you will see 3 icons - one of which looks like a moon - that is the dark mode. It has been completely overhauled with this version. There is also an app as well.
