QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 5, 2013 -> 05:17 PM) Kinda wondering how the dominos falling can effect the Bulls... 1) There's now a logjam for GSW's SG/SF spots. Klay, Barnes, and Iggy all need to start. 2) Kobe is gonna be pissed. Six years later, maybe he gets to the Bulls. Deng and Booz would both need to disappear and a backup PF would need to be found unless Erik Murphy and Malcolm Thomas become better than before. 3) Atlanta is gonna go into rebuild mode. Jump on Horford? 4) Mavericks basically have to go full rebuild as well. VC might be available. 5) Asik is moving somewhere, so follow the scent and try to get involved. 6) Denver might be looking for a defensive SF to replace Iggy. Also, ORLANDO WON THE DWIGHT TRADE?! There will be an avalanche of trades/signings in the next few days. Unfortunately, we're the Bulls.

Hahaha. Laker fans are going nuts over at Lakersground.net.

Wow. Give GS credit for legitimately trying. At least the Lakers don't get s***. Howard/Harden is going to be a lot of fun.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 5, 2013 -> 03:22 PM) Oh, and I think they can either roll with Barnes off the bench or move him, possibly in a sign and trade with LA. He's definitely a piece that a semi-rebuilding Lakers team would be interested in. Gotta be it. Man, Dwight, Lee, Iggy, Curry, Thompson is f***ing filthy if it happens. RIP western conference.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 5, 2013 -> 03:08 PM) They are going to be really dangerous next year. Iggy is a great pickup for them. If they could get Howard somehow, they have to be one of the favorites in the NBA. If you aren't getting better, you're getting worse. How much did they give him? 4/48 I don't see how Barnes fits in now. They must be planning on moving him. This is getting interesting.

Looks like Andre Igoudala signed with the Warriors. I think somethin' big about to happened with GS.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 5, 2013 -> 01:30 PM) 3 game series, won 2 of them, sox win series . what's the problem ? I think that's the point. The White Sox rarely win series.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 5, 2013 -> 12:47 PM) Fine, then we should go back to the Catch-All Thread, lol. No, no. Don't do that. This is fine. Catch-all was terrible.

I expect a Puig-like impact or else he's another bust.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 4, 2013 -> 04:51 PM) And people keep saying that we should move the Bobcats pick because it won't be a top pick in 2016. I'm disgusted at this and I care about the Bobcats like I care about hockey. Jefferson does nothing for them in the short (well, other than potentially ruining their draft position) or long term.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 4, 2013 -> 04:01 PM) $$$$$ I understand Jefferson's point of view (kinda understand). Why are the Bobcats doing this? They're still nowhere near playoff contention even with Jefferson. They shootin' for 30 wins? The last thing they need is to win 25-30 games and miss out on Wiggins, Parker or Randle. What a terrible franchise the Bobcats are.

So I guess Al Jefferson is signing with the Bobcats? Da f***?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 04:08 PM) And that is why coaches are paid millions of dollars. They have to figure out a way to balance it and make it work. Against 90-99% of the teams the Bulls can just out defense them and win. Against the Heat/Thunder, they are going to be nights where they have to score points too. To get to the next level the Bulls are going to have to find a way against those teams to score 90-100 points because you cant shut them down every night. I agree with this. But why'd you have to go back two decades to find shooters that you would want? Steve Kerr guarding 2013 point guards or bigger 2's would be first dinner scene from Nutty Professor funny.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 03:57 PM) lol Sometimes its as if youve never watched basketball. Steve Kerr at 45% from 3 is going to be playing in the NBA today, tomorrow and in the future. Im not even sure you ever saw Steve Kerr play. I didn't say he couldn't play. I said he'd be a liability defensively.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 03:44 PM) So is Ray Allen... Good coaches figure out a way to hide a guy on defense to help on offense. (edit) And honestly the last thing im worried about with Thibs is finding a way to have a guy defend.. lol. Get out of here. Ray Allen is prime Bruce Bowen compared to those two. There would be no way to hide Kerr and Hodges lack of size, speed, athleticism in 2013. I don't have a problem with Dunleavy. He can shoot and he's got size and length to go with that.

Problem with that is Kerr and Hodges would be defensive liabilities of epic proportions. This ain't 1992.

QUOTE (hammerhead johnson @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 01:30 PM) This is the best thread on this site by a very large margin. Futures squad: C: Wellington Castillo 1B: Anthony Rizzo 2B: Starlin Castro SS: Javier Baez 3B: Kris Bryant OF: Albert Almora OF: Jorge Soler OF: Eloy Jimenez Someone post one for the White Sox. No, I'm just kidding. Man, why did they have to sign Edwin Jackson? They could have put that money towards resigning Garza. Good god. I've been known to orgasm to prospects. But c'mon now. I do like what the Cubs are doing, though.

QUOTE (Boogua @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 01:24 PM) Nobody except Lebron James can shut Derrick down 1 on 1. Fixed. This was Rose after game 4 of that series.

QUOTE (hammerhead johnson @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 12:35 PM) My guys keep doing things. I can't keep up with all of these ill prospects. Yuck

Rose is in his early 20's. If you have to use kid gloves with him at this age then he's already done. You have more of an argument with the other guys, I guess.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 2, 2013 -> 11:48 PM) Good God...dude's hitting .325 and it's not good enough...now they want homers too. Would you rather go back to hitting .220 and slapping a few homers every now and then? That's why I said in the 2 spot... his BABIP is like .370. He's not going to sniff a .325 average by the end of the season.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 2, 2013 -> 05:44 PM) If Westbrook is 100% and Howard goes to Houston and is like Orlando Dwight, I like them both better. And Memphis. Will Blake start hitting mid rangers? They lost in the first round. Does this move put them from that to favs in West? Dwight's last 21 games last year: FG% - 58.8, PPG - 20.0, RPG - 13.4, BPG - 2.9, SPG - 1.2 Lakers won 15 of those games including the last two without Kobe to go from out of the playoff picture to the 7th seed. Yeah, they got their asses kicked by SA. But what chance did they have without Kobe? Dude could've easily pulled a Rose *me not playing until 12756363%* but toughed it out as much as he could through post back surgery and a labrum tear. He's immature as f*** and not really that bright. But he's a beast.

Zzzzzzzzzzz@no-hitter #98 since 2009.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 2, 2013 -> 05:47 PM) Let's assume for starters that "Not being coached by Vinny Del Negro" is worth at least 1 round in the playoffs, maybe 2. Blake Griffin has to improve considerably before the Clippers become true contenders, IMO. Hell, he has yet to top his rookie season. Unacceptable when playing with the best pg in basketball.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 2, 2013 -> 05:21 PM) Jesus, Clippers just destroyed that trade. They are going to be goooood. I don't know if they're going to be better. But they've got shooters everywhere now.
