Well... he got "suspended."

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 09:54 PM) Probably best for all parties involved since you seem to speaking another language. No, he is just ridiculously smarter than you in basketball intellect.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 09:09 PM) Didn't we already have him once and give him away for nothing? We had him for literally 10 days and dealt him away for s*** in the off-season. Didn't even suit up for the Bulls. Obviously the Bulls value "character guys" so J.R. was not a fit there. As far as a team standpoint and need however, he is a perfect fit... a non crazy J.R. Smith.

QUOTE (LayelBurton @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 07:12 PM) Carlos Sanchez to Kannapolis Gonna keep a very close eye on this guy's progress. (I'm sure you will as well Dan)

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jun 27, 2011 -> 09:25 AM) I want JR Smith. He would be an excellent second creator on offense and would fill our offensive void at SG nicely. Character issues be damned, give me talent. Would absolutely love him here. Good ball handler, can spread the floor, has size in the back court, excellent in transition, very athletic in the open and half court game for Derrick, "willing" defender. (and I say that loosely.. would love to see what Thibs can do with him and his athleticism, has a very good swing span) One of the better fits out there (along with Mayo, Affalo, etc.) for the Bulls for sure.. a sane J.R. Smith. Would love the Rodman-like craziness/attitude (whatever you wanna call it) for this team, but even Dennis was less crazy off the court.

Other than the w.sox of course, Mariners... by far.

Now this is how you make a game thread!

Brandon Short... yikes.

Alexei.

My god... Stan Bowman.. Now extend Sharp, re-sign Frolik and get us a vet, physical defense-man to pair with Leddy or Campoli if re-signed (Wiz please. ) or Ehrhoff if Hawks don't feel Leddy is ready for a top 4 role.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 09:17 AM) This is all really fairly simply and being read way too far in to it seems. Could have been left at Jason's post. Agreed completely, and I was meh on the whole thing to begin with. As long as the optimist and pessimist are still allowed to do their thing (which makes this board great to begin with) and just cut out the terrible hyperbole on both accounts (optimist and pessimist) then its all good.

Holy s*** the West just got tougher (as if they needed that). The Kings are gonna be very good next year.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 08:11 AM) The Bulls routinely used Sefalosha at the 3 when they had him and he was effective defensively there. And that was with an empty seat as a head coach. Because he is very long and athletic as fathom alluded to. A quick, athletic defensive 2 guard can be very serviceable with guarding a 3. Might not have the bulk necessarily, but can be excellent in staying in front of his man (or to wait for weak side help) or be disruptive with his hands on the dribble.

King Kong.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 08:07 AM) Sefalosha is longer/more athletic. Butler has a much better ability to score. Not to mention Sefalosha is one of the better 2 guard defenders in the league. Butler is more of a 3. Your right about his scoring ability though.

Cheers Badge!

Love the Mirotic pick. Really feel the Bulls got a good value piece there at that spot even if we won't see him in 3-5 years. (Still only 19) Not a big fan of Butler, but you got to admire his work ethic.

QUOTE (Felix @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 07:57 PM) http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-w...t_rambis_062211 At least we don't have to worry about Rambis f***ing up Rubio now. EDIT: Probably at least -- http://twitter.com/#!/JerryZgoda/statu...700640307609600 If true, that would simply be outstanding for the Wolves.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 03:51 PM) I like Pujols less and less with each new subject about him. I keep telling people he is not what he is portrayed to the media/general public. Though you could say that about any player, but with Pujols it's a complete 180.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 10:43 PM) Carlos Sanchez 2-2, 2B, 3 BB tonight for Bristol. Turns 19 in 8 days. 41 BB in 156 AB last year in DSL. Granted, the pitchers are wild in that league so who knows what that means. Could be worth following. Was just going to post this. I'm going to follow him for sure.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 10:58 AM) That was a greatly different Hawks team. You never know when one of these vets is going to jump on for a cheap 1 year deal to chase a Cup. This Hawks team as assembled fits that billing extraordinarily well. They are one of a handful of teams you have to look at as a Cup chase. I would think a guy, who is in his prime, would want to get one last big money deal. Besides, he's won the cup before. Not like he is chasing after one.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 03:37 AM) Vince ain't got too much left in the tank at all. He's soft defensively, and some of shot selection in PHX was cringeworthy to say the least. Well, soft is putting it mildly. He's frustrated me his whole career with his insane athleticism early on, only to be average at best defensively.. (hell, I still think he could of been one of the all time greats if he only had 1/4th the effort to try to be an all around great player. Had all the tools, even the fortitude to have the ball in his hands with the game on the line) Was/Is just a very lazy player.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 12:06 AM) So, which players do you guys think should be promoted now that we've reached the end of the 1st half? Position player wise, I'd say that Tyler Kuhn, Christian Marrero, Ian Gac, Jose Martinez, Dan Black, Brady Shoemaker, Juan Silverio, Drew Lee and Ross Wilson seem like obvious choices. Position: Viciedo, Marrero, Kuhn, Shoemaker, Black, Silverio, R. Wilson (maybe Short, but would like to see him develop the discipline a bit more) Pitchers: Thompson, Burnside, Arroyo, Remenowsky (Reinzo/Santiago/Petricka later on. They need more time/innings, maybe Leesman, but would like to see him with better control) Most of those were just off the top of my head. (had to check on Silverio and Thompson)
