Man I was pissed when the Sox traded him. I was wrong there.

I've thought for a while that if you want to collect unemployment or welfare, you should be required to "volunteer" a certain amount of hours at a non-profit or community organization.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 10:31 AM) One Magic reporter felt that the Magic will not match on Reddick due to the luxury tax implications. The Magic would be paying Reddick practically 38M (19 to Reddick and 19 to the NBA) due to those implications. OUCH!!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 09:09 AM) So would it actually be 2 less years? Losing the picks prevents them from being able to do S&T deals, which means the deals ended up all being 5 year deals, so than you have to pull the 1 year deal on that? I'd say 6 picks and pushing the contracts to 4 years would be pretty worthy, as well as preventing use of the MLE A man can dream, can't he? Wondering out loud here... the NBA might want to contact Wes Wesley. I'm sure he's a bit pissed at being pushed out of the inner circle and might be willing to talk.

http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/07/11/1725...miami-heat.html Some NBA owners accuse Miami Heat of tampering LAS VEGAS -- Rival team executives suspicious of the Heat's efforts to lure LeBron James and Chris Bosh to Miami will collectively have the commissioner's ear Monday. League owners are scheduled to meet in Las Vegas on Monday amid concerns there may have been collusion and tampering by the Heat on its way to landing the top three free agents on the market. An executive in NBA commissioner David Stern's office stressed Sunday that Monday's meeting was scheduled in advance of free agency. It also was not specifically called to address any potential issues from what was the biggest offseason frenzy in league history. Executives from at least five teams have privately accused the Heat of tampering with James. The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported on Sunday details of an alleged November meeting in Miami with James, Heat president Pat Riley, James and the-Charlotte Bobcats owner Michael Jordan. James and the Cavs were in town to play the Heat on Nov. 12, and Jordan was in Miami for a Nike event to launch Wade's Jordan Brand shoe. According to the Plain Dealer's report, citing unnamed sources, the meeting did not involve a recruiting pitch to James, but rather a discussion about how Jordan's legacy should be honored. .... The Heat declined to comment on whether the team has been in contact with the league over tampering allegations. The Heat will be represented in Monday's meeting by vice president Nick Arison, son of team owner Nick Arison. But Heat executives believe they operated above board throughout the process and simply worked some advantages. Miami had the most salary-cap space in the league, an inside tract to re-signing Wade and the added bonus of Wade's longtime friendships with James and Bosh. James, Bosh and Wade, all members of the 2003 draft class, have long discussed the possibility of joining forces on an NBA team. They all took less money than the maximum they could have received to sign with the Heat. Tampering and collusion violations could result in the nullification of a player's contract. But such allegations are generally difficult to prove. The futures of James, Wade and Bosh in Miami do not appear to be in jeopardy.

I finally got around to watching "X-Files: I Want To Believe". Not good, not good at all. Very disappointing. Extremely lame story line.

Odds makers have the bulls as 4th or 5th best team in the NBA.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 03:30 PM) I don't give a damn about advanced statistics in this case. If there's 10 seconds left in the game and I need a basket to win, I'm givin' the rock to Kobe 10 times outta 10 over Lebron. Anybody who says otherwise needs to quit watching basketball and take up Lacrosse as a hobby or something. By saying he doesnt want the pressure of scoring 30 points a game, he agrees with you. He doesnt want the ball.
