QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 17, 2015 -> 10:21 PM) Stress on the Knicks part of that post. No part of jacksons plan has screamed overpaying marginal talent to me. His coach pick was bad, but he's done well at getting picks and shedding commitments.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jun 17, 2015 -> 08:34 PM) I'd very much doubt the Lakers will give up the #2 pick for Butler. They'll look a much better destination to play in next off-season when Kobe's contract comes off the books, Randle plays a full season, and it's looking like Okafor becomes the new face of the franchise to build around. I'd be signing nothing but short term deals if I was Kupchak this off-season. Unless you could get a Rondo type for under $10M that is. If I'm Butler also, I probably take the Qualifying Offer. Not saying that's fair to the Bulls, but look at Greg Monroe, do you think he's happy he didn't take a 4/50 offer from Detroit last off-season? He'll probably get something close to the max from the Knicks now. Wow had no idea Monroe was in line to get that money. I thought he was an idiot last year

Butler signing a short contract has nothing to do with wanting to be a movie star. Did Lebron sign a two year deal because he wanted...um, oh yeah it's because a gigantic many many billion dollar tv deal is entering the league in 2016 and basically every free agent that year will get paid.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 17, 2015 -> 12:51 PM) i am with you on not wanting death on anyone.... except for my enemies, and i can live with that. but at the cost of the reported value of the soxs????? who could really afford that and want to keep the team in chi or at there present location?? People don't buy sports teams to make money.

So David Lee is an NBA champion.

This was such a weird and satisfying cup win. Felt very different. -2010 just seemed to be destiny. It just seemed like their year, they had put in the time and growth. That team was loaded, probably more than any other in terms of depth, but obviously our stars are better now. -2013 I appreciated how hard it was to win a cup. The team had battled to two first round exits while they re-tooled, and those playoffs were HARD. Their ability to come from the depths against the Red Wings to me was the real beginning of the hawks I will remember: the ones who you just knew would come back. - 2015 - A decidedly different regular season. Battling through major injuries and sporadic play that seemed to show up in the non cup years. Weirder to me this playoffs was the lack of a big playoff forward just getting in front of the net like buff and bickell. The defense and goaltending ended up great. The last two games I think I did take for granted that the Lightning very rarely could get a shot off without a backcheck on their stick, or player to block in front. When they DID get space you saw how dangerous they were, but man was that rare. I can't really tell the difference between 96-98 bulls, but man have these cups been so different and satisfying in different ways. This is the sports moment you crave as a fan. You not only get to enjoy fantastic hockey, but be fans of it.

I was thinking about the idea of "knowing how truly special this is"... To me, the most unbelievable part to this is that we COULD take winning for granted. That is an amazing feeling.

I peed next to Jeremy roe nick when I was 11. Tough to beat that.

Hammer finished this series with two perfect games. Awesome playoffs for him.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 15, 2015 -> 10:31 PM) Bishop says he has a torn groin. I don't believe that it could be torn and he could still play. Strained maybe NoT sure why you'd want a goalie with a torn groin playing. He did play damn well though. But nobody outplays Crawford in a 7 game series

Lol Carrillo. YEAH a Darling!

Man, you look at the banners in the rafters now and you think what a successful franchise. Amazing damn team. This won was won so differently too. 2010 was most surreal, 2013 was most fun, this was just incredible.

I was too young to appreciate with the Bulls and just knowing they'd come through. This team has that. They are incredible.

Weak trip.

Richards with some magic

Kane so often plays with such controlled deliberate paCd that when he goes all out with his speed it's breathtaking how fast he is as well.

That was some shot by Seabs for naught

Is it still early?

Too cute by half - the Philadelphia 76ers story

Dominant period for lightning. Thank god for crow.

Balta - KC Johnson has article today highlighting Boylen as a defensive coach

Reading conflicting things, I took the Arya seen that she was about to warg, but others said she was blinded as punishment.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 15, 2015 -> 03:40 PM) Who was the best hitter in the draft that they passed on? Trout.
