Never played the game - but so far very much enjoy the show. The first episode was stellar but very curious to see how it continues but enjoying it a lot. My wife is too and she usually is not into this type of show.

Yes sir.

This will come off as wrong - cause I am not implying this is a Lonzo thing. But part of me wonders - does he just need to push himself to the next level and next thing you know some scar tissue will move or he is just going to have to deal with this. Easy for me to say and I am sure there is nothing scientifically accurate about any of it.

Terrible. How do you let him go back out there.

I think the above is exactly what will happen.

What about just going old - package Lavine and some other stuff for Dame Time

I am good either way on this.

Gotcha. I kind of think part of doing it now is - try to ensure you don't make the playoffs and hope you keep the Orlando pick (that said - I get that it creates a different issue). That Vuc trade really was terrible. It completely prevented the franchise from really going anywhere. Giving up that many picks and assets for a player who is slightly above average is just such a massive whiff.

I like Zach - but at this point - I'm not getting rid of everyone else and just keeping him. Start over while you can get value for these guys.

They need to trade all of the "Big" 3 / "Mediocre 3".

Wow - 2 straight terrible 2nd halves and 2 straight terrible losses.

They really should sign Wacha. I’d also take a flyer on Ken Giles and would trade prospects for someone good and cost controlled in outfield or 2B. Better to have a 200M payroll with a few more parts so you have somewhat of a chance to contend vs be at 185 190 and fall way short.

Just get Larry brown jr

Wtf.

I didn’t think I would say it - at this point Bulls need to acquire a point guard. Buy vs sell.

100 percent - it also starts with the top and JR allows this to continue vs holding his people to a higher standard. Point blank - the bar should always be making playoffs and with this org it clearly isn’t.

He is just such a shitty gm - but ownership Is s%*# too and sets a s%*# standard.

The ownership sucks. More than ever it starts at the top. Reinsdorf is ok with ok/mediocre. His standards are soft and he is fine making money and being okay. He has zero aspirations for greatness and will always treat this like a business Vs a hobby (that makes money in long run). He is a good man - but as a fan - a lousy a owner cause mediocrity with a once every 50 years 2005 campaign where everything goes right is all we will ever get. Sad but true. Too low of a bar - not the right standard - no willingness to dig deep when it is needed or when you just have to to make a run. It’s sad but true.

I buy that

Cody's durability is historically good and in general he was pretty solid this year. I kind of think we spend money on a high end tackle and ideally a free agent center and than draft some more too. I am okay if they decide to spend on a high end guard and draft a tackle in RD 1 too.

When do we find out if the Bears are on bar knocks? I am guessing it will be them or the Jets (or Raiders?).

In general the Sox have made some good hires. I don’t love the whole offseason but from a hiring perspective I like it. Player acquisition - they are relying too much on reversion from the mean and need to deploy more resources on the club.

I agree - I don’t think that is enough value and bears will get more. With that said - if they couldn’t get more than that I would still make that trade.

Dug my 3 row SUV from being completely burried (so basically under 8 foot of snow) and than made the long drive back from vacation and put in the server request last night to get the site fixed But did get some greatskiing / snowboarding in with the family

Apologies - this was an issue with our server (not the server company) but a capacity issue. It hit and basically ran out of space so just started shutting down. It started happening last week intermitently but wasn't aware of the broader issue. Unfortunately - I was traveling in remote parts starting Friday so was NOT aware and when I became aware, well, I wasn't about to cut a rural vacation short for Soxtalk (sorry guys). But yesterday I dug my car out and first thing I did when I get home was chat through and identify the issue, so everything should be back and working well and I don't expect the issue that persisted the past week to pop back up. So we should be back for good.
