Would be very happy if it happens. Not much chance to add fairly cheap depth without giving up anything mid season. No idea what price tag is, however.

I'm at the point now where I assume the White Sox will have every one of these go against them. Very frustrated, similar to shysocks. This is now kind of going back to 2013. I just feel like we have had an extended run of crap hit us and we always end up eating it.

Honestly if you all are saving money for retirement now you are doing better than a vast majority of Americans. http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archiv...t-shame/476415/

QUOTE (bmags @ May 18, 2016 -> 03:14 PM) I like Ingraham a lot but you are right he's probably a #2. I liked most all of the sixers players in college, but I worry their growth in the NBA was severely stunted from so many non-nba players around them where they were covering up their mistakes and not truly learning to excel with their talents. Compare that to the celts. Amazing when you have a typo and actually add more letters to their name.

Maybe. Miami's sudden rebuild with conviction looks possible to me with the bulls. But the bulls are stupid, so.

Sure. Although its weird how I've heard of a lot of startups and businesses with promising new technology, and some of them don't have great stories as CEOs. Must be I have access to the internet and don't make weird narratives. I feel like last page Theranos was an example of post-politicians gone awry using their power on boards, now its a story of a tech bubble. Cool, anyway back to the democrat thread.

They sound nice, but together they were awful, and adding Ben Simmons to an undisciplined young team doesn't scream championship to me.

I have no love lost for them. They started acting indignant in the press early on about regulation. Yeah, sorry, just because you are a startup in silicon valley does not mean you can work in health without quality regulation. Sure enough, they were overselling the crap out of what they could do and it was a sloppy set-up.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 18, 2016 -> 12:37 PM) Many Bulls fans made fun of the Sixers and Sam Hinkie's plan but now they are closer to winning a championship than the Bulls are. Also, in Chad Ford's mock draft he has the Bulls taking Michigan State PF Deyonta Davis and links them to him and 2 foreign big men. Anyone have a brief scouting report on Davis? Until they can win more than 10 games in a year I'll say they are no closer. Hinkie had a good plan but he made a lot of poor decisions that lost him good will, the most basic of which was being a poor communicator of roster moves that pissed off agents, players and his own admin team. Also, I do feel like purposely avoiding competent veterans stunted growth. Players were regressing. That said, they should have let him see it throuhg, especially to hire bryan colangelo, perhaps the worst executive of the 2000s, including new york.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 18, 2016 -> 11:06 AM) I like the idea of catering to Jimmy because I like Jimmy. Dude works hard. Yes, he might be rough around the edges but you know what, I like the fact that he's an old school bust his ass kind of guy and think we'd be a much better team if we had more Jimmy Butler's. Instead of catering to a player to run a program that extends to the entire organization, I'd recommend they perform due diligence and find someone capable of creating an organizational culture of health and effective training because it's important. That they just hire someone the player knows again is unsettling to me but par for the course.

Rest assured Greg, there are many people willing to make the argument that Bernie should overthrow the democratic will of the dem primary voters.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ May 17, 2016 -> 11:28 PM) Great. Send the message to Derrick Rose. His time in Chicago is coming to a close. Um, yeah I don't think that's the message here.

I'm sure a top 11 pick that has not lived up to his potential will definitely net us a top 5 pick in a good draft.

So I went to Hong Kong last month and got a custom suit and 4 shirts made for $450. If you are in Hong Kong, highly recommend it. Shirts especially as they were only $35 a pop. I only have 5 suits, I used to save up for banana republic ones, but now I only wear the custom ones I have. I may go and get the other 2 retailored. Best part is I can call up the tailor shop in hong kong and get more shirts as they keep a reasonable inventory of fabrics. edit: I went to hong kong as part of a vacation, not to get suits.

Bulls fire Jen Swanson. Good

Wellp. Thanks for another unbearable game thread. Enjoy your chamber of tears everyone.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 17, 2016 -> 07:38 PM) Exactly Saladino just not much of a player He's a bench player that plays three positions. Give me a break.

Yeah! DFA Saladino! Everything is awful!

I just realized how horrible our situation was as I saw jimmy butler watch us get the worst pick in the draft. Can't wait to get a slow white player without a position

Need to keep it to one

Oh.

What? How did we not throw him out?

Navarro finally framed one
