Why would you trade Q for an aging player with two years left?

QUOTE (Boogua @ Feb 4, 2016 -> 02:36 AM) Solid first quarter for Steph. Just insane. Most exciting basketball player I have ever seen. Does it without world class athleticism

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 4, 2016 -> 01:51 AM) Merkin is not making much sense. If they aren't willing to give up a pick for Fowler, then why would they even talk to him? And if they are unwilling to give up a pick for Fowler, why would they have any interest is paying the price for Puig? I really wanted Puig, but that thing with his sister, even though he supposedly was cleared, made me think he is a time bomb not worth the trouble. I'm sure we will see a tweet in next few days by Nightengale that says Sox are staying put. As for Puig, hell no. Too much of a clubhouse distraction

The pathetic thing about Illinois is they couldn't have asked for a better Big Ten schedule. They are going to win six games or so and a good team would have won 11-12

I have never hated a coach more than Brian Gregory. One of the worst coaching hires in the history of college basketball.

Levine on the Ethier situation now http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2016/02/02/lev...n-andre-ethier/

Leaving the door open for possible comeback down the road. If Sox are in contention and struggling with 4/5 starter role, I would be shocked if they don't look to him around the deadline.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 1, 2016 -> 11:53 AM) I have last nights on DVR and I am just not up for watching it. I'll put it one when I'm cleaning or something and see if I hear anything interesting. I just want a faster pace like Shameless. Seems like it is a topic that Showtime could have gone out of the box with. Both Showtime Sunday shows were poor this past week. Billions seemed to try too hard to be edgy. Shameless just has too many dumb story lines.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 2, 2016 -> 05:53 AM) Him being an overrated college coach. Always felt they underachieved in tournament. Not many coaches get an NBA gig after only making second week of the tournament once. I think my bigger issue with him was he started the trend (that has killed college hoops for me) of having teams comprised of numerous transfers.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 2, 2016 -> 04:49 AM) Well that's not true. Which part

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 2, 2016 -> 05:45 AM) Jesus. Hoiberg needs to start drawing up actual plays or something. Can he just go back to college and stack up on kids that got kicked out of other schools? Always thought he was an incredibly overrated college coach.

Pathetic play in overtime. Not even hitting the rim on their shots when they aren't turning it over.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Feb 2, 2016 -> 04:29 AM) Might not be indisputable but the angle they just showed certainly looked like that was off Butler not Hayward. It's bad when King is calling out a Bulls coach for bad decision

Another horrible play drawn up at the end by Hoiberg. He just sucks.

Gasol is the laziest defender I have seen in a long time. Game was over if Taj just grabbed the rebound

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 1, 2016 -> 09:39 PM) What about Beck and Fry? That seems like decent amount. Yeah, they'd be asking for Q or Rodon for Soler. Beck and Fry isn't going to get you much from anyone due to their health issues.

You should be following future sox Twitter right now. Awesome stuff from the panel going on

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jan 31, 2016 -> 04:15 PM) You laugh now but just wait until the Sox sign one of these guys. The board name will change to ChernobylTalk with the theme song " two suns in the sunset". It would be fine with me if it is in addition to Desmond. If they sign Rollins and DeJesus, then melt away

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jan 31, 2016 -> 03:39 PM) Just because I'm cruel, I'm going to throw the names of Victorino, Sizemore, Venable, McLouth and DeJesus out there now in preparation of the cubs re-signing Fowler. Sorry, the caffeine from my morning coffee hasn't hit yet. Victorino and Venable are third tier guys for me right now. Fowler is top, Jackson/Jennings second and then these guys

NL Central is a joke. Two of the teams in that division one win 60 games. NL West is way better.

.500 at the deadline in this division likely has the Sox in contention.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jan 31, 2016 -> 02:01 AM) Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 45s45 seconds ago With Jean Segura in, Dbacks also have Nick Ahmed and Chris Owings at SS and are in need of relief, which is area of depth for #WhiteSox. I think they will hold on to all 3 in case Owings doesn't rebound from an awful year.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jan 31, 2016 -> 01:04 AM) Emma works for the score, Levine works for the score. Levine said the same thing a few days ago.Hmmmmm. Are they dating? Seriously though. I think it's very believable it comes down to both Chicago teams. I agree that Fowler would probably prefer the cubs but one interesting thing has been speculated and that's the possibility of the cubs desire to get compensation for Fowler because as of now their first pick would be #104 overall in the draft. OTOH, punting the draft and signing Fowler to give them a solid lead off bat ain't a bad idea either. Should be interesting to see where Fowler ends up. They don't care about the draft. They will just spend a fortune on Lazarito with the money they can't spend on the draft

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jan 30, 2016 -> 11:59 PM) Is Shwarber catching? Soler the 4th OF? Can't see them paying Fowler a good amount to be the 4th OF. No idea, just read that's what Levine said

And also, I'm not sure this reporter is basing it on anything besides what Levine has been saying all week
