  1. QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 11:28 AM) GS wants CJ back, they dont want 4 draft picks.. what are the odds the bulls can put a package together involving CJ as the main piece for the #7?? Then package up Deng for the #2??? CJ is a back up point guard. Hes not going to be the main piece in any deal for a top 10 pick. At 7 there is a chance you get your pick of any pg int he draft, why would you Watson over that?
  2. I probably had the best tickets that Ill ever have to any show all things being considered. The Wall is an amazing show, but as a Pink Floyd fan its always bitter.
  3. Thats a design patent not a utility patent, its much weaker.
  4. If Deng was 30, it would make more sense to try and go laterally. But as hes 27, you really dont want to trade him for a lessor player and then need to find even more parts. The Bulls best hope is to find a team like the Grizzlies and get something like Mayo/Arthur for Boozer. (No way do the Grizzlies do this, but thats the type of deal the bulls are most likely going to settle for.)
  5. 2nd City, Its my belief if Boozer had value hed be gone. The guy is getting 15mil each of the next 3 years and he is not worth it. Hes overpaid and an injury waiting to happen, who wants to invest 45mil in that? Balta, Why would Cleveland take Deng instead of Gilchrist or Barnes? If these guys are better than Deng and younger, why wouldnt Cleveland want them? Now sure, after Gilchrist/Barnes, Deng is probably better than Lamb, etc. But then its a lateral move for the Bulls. I just dont see how the Bulls get a younger better player out of a Deng trade.
  6. Why would anyone trade a top 5 pick for Asik and Deng? Im one of the bigger Asik supporters, but there is a great chance that guys like Leonard Meyers are available at 10 or later, Fab Melo may be there at the end of the first round, so why would you trade a top 5 pick for Asik/Deng? I could see a team who wants to contend possibly giving up a 10-15 for some sort of package like that, but I just dont see why Cleveland, Washington or Sacramento would want that deal, and those are the spots where Gilchrist and Barnes are likely to go.
  7. Nope. (imo) The only thing that would get the Bulls a top 5 pick is some deal with Taj plus this years first and the Bobcats first. Even then Im not convinced. Boozer has negative value.
  8. Im just not sure how the Bulls are using Deng to get the #4 overall.
  9. Ill be there, and Radiohead on Sunday.
  10. Well if fan enthusiasm counted, the Celtics have the edge in game 7.

    When you are sending a resume make sure it looks good on the paper. By that I mean formatting etc. I just went through a stack of resumes, and to be honest I barely even read what was in them, I just was looking for what year were they graduating. Some of them looked terrible though, and if I was being more discerning it would have cost them an opportunity.
  12. So after the charade Uthoff decides that the restrictions dont matter. Go figure.
  13. Yeah on the replay it seemed pretty clear no one touched Westbrook. I just wish some of these refs ddnt think they had to be stars.
  14. I think the NBA refs stole a great game 7 tonight.

    Np, without being actively involved in the case there is no way to tell if they will settle quick or not. Good luck with whatever route you go.
  16. I was just using random numbers. If they can delay the release by 1 day, how much does that cost Samsung, etc, etc. The point is Apple has $100billion to screw with people, this is nothing more than screwing with people.
  17. I think Barnes is likely to get drafted before 7. A lot of places have him at 4.
  18. Actually its about money. If I can spend $1mil in lawyer fees and cause $5mil of expenses to my competitor, I just did something good. These type of tactics go back as far as the Wright Brothers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wright_brothers_patent_war

    QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Jun 6, 2012 -> 04:20 PM) We seem to have a few lawyers on here so I was just wondering what the hold up might be on this job I'm getting whenever the lawsuit is over. http://www.bestchicagocondos.com/blog/trouble-in-river-city/ That explains what the lawsuit is over. Right now they have 2 different security companies there, one for the commercial side (that was there before the suit) and one for the residential side. I worked for the residential side for 5 months and all the guys on the commercial side liked me enough to tell me once the suits over I can work for them. Back in October everyone thought the suit was gonna been done and over with in 2 weeks soooooo I quit the residential side and took a little vacation and expected to come back to work in 2 weeks...welll the suit is still going on and I'm still waiting. I'm sure money is the issue as 15 mill is A LOT of money but what else might be holding it up, how long can a case like this go on? It's been going on for over a year now, it has to come to an end soon right? Heres the case: https://w3.courtlink.lexisnexis.com/cookcou...ABB0L0AACIJF0LD The good news is that it is in front of Judge Pierce and he keeps litigation on a tight leash. The bad news is that this is an 11 case, and a brand new complaint was just filed on May 14, 2012, with Motions to Dismiss filed on May 30, 2012. What does that mean? It means that discovery hasnt even started, if there is no settlement, this case could take another 3 years potentially who knows. The guy Nicholas Gouletas has settled 2 other cases I found, so potentially this one could settle too. But right now they are still in the pleading stage, the Defendants havent even answered yet.

    Rock, Is your dog having hydration issues? If so, you may want to ask if theyll let you try subq fluids at home. One of my cats was diagnosed with CRF (chronic renal failure) back in November of last year (she has a Creatinine level over 20) and she had to stay in the emergency vet for 10 days. Shes now on a medicine and getting subq iv fluids every other day, her levels are slightly elevated but with maintenance fluid she is hopefully going to be okay. The fluids are pretty inexpensive (I think its about $20 per 100ml bag), so if it is has any chance you may want to try it.
  21. You cant trust those star ratings. Rivals and Scout make a ton of money off of the SEC premium websites/boards. The Big 10 teams dont nearly spend as much. Its why you see a guy who is a 3* and then commits to LSU and becomes a 4* over night. There are some articles about conference distribution in the pros and I think the SEC has a slight edge, but not nearly as much as they do in recruiting.
