From all accounts, no chance Dunn signs an extension if he's going to end up being a DH. If you sign him, it's probably goodbye to Paul Konerko, which means you have to keep Viciedo. We just don't have the bullets to acquire a top guy right now.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 06:53 AM) Ok, but if you sign him and give him significant minutes, don't complain about the lack of defense. Everyone wants to point out flaws on all the available names, but everyone seems to gush about Morrow as if he is a complete player. You also have to realize that he played for a team that absolutely doesn't stress defense. He played his role to perfection. I'm not saying he'd be a defensive stopper by any means.

QUOTE (IamtheHBOMB @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 06:48 AM) Ever since fathom mentioned Morrow, I've been intrigued by him. He seems like he would be a good fit with Rose. Rose penetrates, kicks it out to Morrow for a three. Morrow would be the best pure shooter the Bulls have had in two decades (besides Steve Kerr, but Morrow is way more of a complete offensive player)

Miller signs with Heat

So the reason the ad in the Miami Herald was pulled was cause it was going to just be Bosh and Wade, but they pulled it to include James, and it will be in the paper on Saturday.

I hope to have an update on Grimes tomorrow from my GT person

You know which GM would love to have 9 open roster spots to fill with old guys who he could offer the minimum to? Our very own KW!

What sucks for Cleveland is that they're probably a little happier now due to the Gilbert letter, but once they wake up tomorrow, they're going to have to face the LeBracalypse that just happened to their city. Don't worry Cleveland, you can have "Kerry Wood simulation inning towel" giveaways

I wonder if the US Magazine story was true about the cabanas? Maybe Dan Gilbert will crash that party.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 04:09 AM) I like Bosh... he's done NOTHING wrong. Bosh is a total piece of s***. I've said a few times how hated he is by people at Ga Tech who dealt with him. He's always been so worried about his perception.

Rick Fox was on Larry King Live talking about LeBron. Shouldn't we be asking Rick Fox about dating Eliza Dushku?

QUOTE (RME JICO @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 04:08 AM) I hope he has his house for sale before they burn that down too. Holy crap are Cleveland fans going off. Extra police already at his house (and they are not looking for Delonte). Tonight, we're all Cleveland fans

Man, Rafael Furcal is some kind of hot right now...and I don't mean that in the Ricky Martin way.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 04:03 AM) I agree, it was a real fun thread with a lot of great back and forth I've loved that I could go to another site, and when I refresh, there's 10 new posts.

Does Dan Gilbert own the WNBA team in Cleveland (if there is one)? Maybe he was talking about that championship.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 05:00 AM) I thought it was a little over the top. The Cavs fans will LOVE him for it though, so he's going to get good PR for it. Yep, it's a great way to get the fans back on your side after I'm sure they were are cursing him an hour ago.

Can I just say this thread has been amazing for over a week now, and I want to thank everyone involved with it....except for shack, HOW DARE YOU YELL AT ME! You know my wife is giving me hell as it is

Look for Mike Miller to sign with Miami in next 24 hours if this is true.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 04:56 AM) even though it's only a little over 10 years since Jordan left the Bulls and the championship run, media has changed so much since then, it's impossible to have that type of protection again IMO Charles Oakley

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 04:55 AM) The more I hear Chris Bosh talk, the more I respect him. He comes off as the most intelligent of the three, if you ask me. don't get suckered, he says what the media wants to hear. He's a real douchebag.

Personally, I think the Cavs should have West wear James' old number.

QUOTE (hitlesswonder @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 04:54 AM) The hour-long televised "decision" was ridiculous. How could anyone have thought that was a good idea. It's funny, I get the impression that Lebron is actually a better dude off the court than Jordan ever was and yet you never saw Jordan's PR team make a mis-step like that. Lebron should hire whomever ran interference for Jordan. fantastic post

I guess Josh Cribbs is going to put up a huge banner in downtown Cleveland saying that he's staying there, and that he's true to his word.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 04:49 AM) I like what one fan said "he basically said Dwayne Wade is better than him, so he is going to play with him." And Wade chose playing with Bosh over time with his two kids. There has to be some messed up transitive property there.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 04:48 AM) Yep, and you knew it was coming if he went down there. I wonder if he knew how bad this would make him look? Most telling was the editor of draftexpress, who is at the Summer League games. The NBA people there were disgusted with LeBron.
