Yeah, the pick kept getting pushed back because it was protected, now this is the first year it's unprotected. The Salt Lake Tribune had an article about it back in November of last year. http://www.sltrib.com/ci_13690869?source=most_viewed

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 21, 2010 -> 01:54 PM) Haha the Knicks would do something like that. They traded it to Phoenix in 2004 I think. Isiah Thomas traded for Stephon Marbury. Then the Suns sent it to Utah in a Tom Gugliotta trade.

Where's the both option? haha

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 21, 2010 -> 01:31 PM) The Utah Jazz hold the Knicks pick this year. Unprotected. Meaning I hope the Knicks DO win the lottery.

Talked to an ex-girlfriend from 5 years ago last night. I was a drunk, but she was a lot worse. We probably won't talk for another year or so, haha.

I was a mad man with my pushups today, doing 40 more than last week. Last week I did 10 more than two weeks ago. No idea what got into me but I know it was going to be a good day when the military pushups were coming easily. I'm starting up week 3.

I'm thinking there won't be any new players when opening day comes around.

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 20, 2010 -> 09:52 PM) WTF? that's messed up By the way, congrats to Kirk Hinrich for becoming the Bulls all-time 3 point leader. I think I heard WGN say that.

I hope Jones does well. Not just because he's on the Sox, it's hard to see the way he's played the last few years compared to what he used to do.

How many of us wasted countless hours reading this thread because of the excitement of possibly signing Johnny Damon? This sucks, what a waste of time.

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 18, 2010 -> 10:52 PM) I think that Boozer is overrated. He's been out with injuries quite a bit in the last two years and Milsap hasn't missed a beat. Deron Williams can make a lot of big guys look good. Boozer is somewhat overrated. I'm sort of angry the Jazz couldn't reach a deal with the Heat or another team because Milsap puts up the same numbers when Boozer is out which is roughly 18 points and 10 rebounds a game. And Boozer can't consistantly stay healthy. Since he's been with the Jazz he's missed: 04-05 31 games 05-06 49 games 06-07 7 games 07-08 1 game 08-09 45 games 09-10 3 games thus far Last year the Jazz were playing decently well until Boozer came back from injury. Coming back from injury really messed up the chemistry of the team. I'm guessing Utah wanted draft picks if they were going to get rid of Boozer. Interestingly enough, I just read an article saying the Heat wanted to get a 3 way deal sending Amare Stoudemire to Miami, Boozer to Phoenix, and draft picks and expiring contracts to Utah.

This is beyond rediculous. Please sign soon!

Not looking forward to Plyo today. I need to get motivated!

QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Feb 14, 2010 -> 01:38 PM) Interesting topic, I want Mauer to play for a National League team. This. Sign with an NL team Joe!

Nice initial post. USA! USA! USA!

New Orleans is wearing some strange NOLA uniforms that look purple in the front and green in the back.

QUOTE (3E8 @ Feb 7, 2010 -> 07:30 PM) That clearly wasn't Megan Fox's real thumb lol

haha I jokingly said they should do an onside kick.

couldn't believe UNI won but they pulled it together, saw my sister on TV too.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 3, 2010 -> 10:49 PM) Ya, you guys pretty much wrapped up the league tonight so congrats on that. Just wait until we take you guys down at Arch Madness. Damn it, that's not even funny lol Arch Madness, gotta love the name. I haven't followed UNI as well this year since I graduated and left the area, but I was looking at their stats and they only get 10 assists per game, which seems REALLY low. I've only watched one game and they were pretty sloppy, which I understand is how they usually play this year. I don't expect them to do much in either Arch Madness or March Madness.

The Bulls should probably have beaten the Clippers, but LA's record doesn't do them justice when playing an Eastern Conference team. LAC is 10-19 against the West, but 11-9 against the East.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 3, 2010 -> 10:36 PM) No we're tied for 8th in the Valley, TAKE THAT EVERYONE ELSE. Very nice to see Teague continue his domination though. UNI found a way to beat WSU tonight. 3 game lead!

QUOTE (Yoda @ Feb 2, 2010 -> 12:11 PM) And where are my peeps that never take no for an answer? It may seem ludicrous at first, but there is always time to convince a girl to change her way of thinking and come to realize that giving it a try won’t hurt unless the both of you aren’t in it together. Not everyone is the same and I see it as a card game where you play with the intention of winning. If you lose, try again, but after a while there should be a sign telling you whether you just had a bad hand or you were doomed from the beginning. Not saying this doesn't work, because I've heard stories about it, but I'd equate it to a UFO, I've heard of them but have never seem them. It might just be the people I know, but it always seems to end a failure when the guy keeps going after her. But you're right, there should be a sign telling you if you were doomed or not.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 2, 2010 -> 03:20 PM) And high school kids are starting to realize what happened to you, and say "Why the hell would I want to go to college? I can get a job out of high school and by the time the college student finishes his degree, I will be his manager." Do we really want this to be the case? No it's terrible, and that's why I also agree with you about education costing way too much. It'd be nice to find a way to lower tuition and not have people's taxes go to students to pay off their loans. Not sure if this is the case in other states, but in Iowa the three state universities are losing students and the community colleges are gaining students. I'm guessing in order to offset the loss of students the universities increase tuition to make up the loss of the students. It just seems like a never ending circle.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 2, 2010 -> 02:32 PM) Perhaps you haven't noticed but there are tens of thousands of students, if not more, that graduated in the last 2 years with absolutely no hope to land a decent paying job any time soon. This is so true. I graduated in December 08 with a Bachelor's Degree in Public Administration and there is nothing out there. I've applied for many jobs but always lose out with people with expierience, which is understandable. My degree means absolutely nothing currently. I work at a lumber yard and have the highest level in terms of education, but I make the least amount of money, making $9.50 an hour. I also agree with Vandy, Chisoxfn, and iamshack, along with probably everyone else to various extents. I'm glad I went a community college and then a public university compared to a private college. My friend went to Wartburg College in Iowa and owes over 90k. He could've gotten the same education at a public school, but wanted to go to a private one instead. I still owe some loans but I wouldn't want tax payers paying for mine. I'd rather pay what I agreed to because it was my choice to go to college.
