Philly has good d with Noel. Doug has looked okay...working on his more interesting offensive moves

Doug just rejected a dude twice then went down the court and drained a three.

I find Farmer hilarious but I Know I'm in the minority.

Hawk and Wimpy used to be so good.

Whoa Albert Belle looks so skinny. Crazy how big he gets in 97.

This is awesome. Game from 93 where Frank drove in 5. Black Jack on mound.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 12:07 AM) Lol. Well then why didn't the Lakers trade for the valuable picks? We don't know if firsts were offered.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 01:00 AM) Bulls picks really aren't valuable going forward. Maybe the Sacramento pick if it breaks right. And even then, the Lakers aren't exactly a draft savvy organization Draft picks are always valuable.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 12:56 AM) The worst part is everyone knew he would be amnestied, so honestly why would the lakers sign and trade Pau for the contract, expiring or not? They waited him out and got him for peanuts To get picks.

I'm guessing Jake meant Carlos getting a bigger claim means bulls would have benefited? Otherwise, Carlos could have ended up with more had he gone through waivers.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 08:32 PM) Deal should be done already if so. If I am Minnesota I would take Wiggins, Waiters, Bennett, Miami's #1 next year and another 1st rounder for Love in a heartbeat. It won't require that much if they include wiggins.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 08:29 PM) Umm, Varejao is a very good defensive player and terrific rebounder when healthy. The problem is he isn't healthy near enough. Have you watched him recently? That man has broke down. I'm not sure you could consider him healthy even when he plays. I haven't seen him look good since the start of the 2012 season where he had a great november and then gone.

No doubt. Irving - worst defensive pg not named Felton Waiters - Horrible James - Top 5 defender in league Love - Bad bad bad Verajao - never healthy and sucks James's offensive numbers may decline with how much he'll need to cover on D.

I was at the game vs. seattle. Pretty sure we won 3-2 behind a 3 run alex rios homer and stellar Dylan pitching. Not many guys pitch in the bigs, he had so little talent, and made it. Tried his best. Tip my cap.

Just saw a tweet that cavs willing to include Wiggins. So long "wide open east", you were a fun 1 week.

That's right, I forgot which office puts together FRED

Seeing Boyhood tomorrow.

Here is national unemployment data, with a query of 1974 to 2014: http://data.bls.gov/pdq/SurveyOutputServlet

Here are historical deficits since 1974 (when CBO was created): http://cbo.gov/publication/45249

Fred did clear a player to play who had a broken leg and nearly killed Luol Deng. He's a hell of a trainer.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 04:06 PM) Really, his various injuries are going to be permanent? Or does he mean just playing through injuries in general? He said he'll have to learn to play with his turf toe and good ole Fred Tedeschi said it may never improve.

The bulk of defense is still going to fall on Butler, and those injuries he said he may have to play with the rest of his career, so I'm not banking on too much here.

Well, whatever Oklahoma does, they certainly deserve the "winning at all costs" award.

I think key to the season after Rose is Butler. It's a contract year. I think everyone assumes 37% shooting Jimmy Butler is the real Jimmy Butler, but if he reverts back to the year before, shooting 38% from 3 and 45% overall, that's a huge huge help. His shot has always been so flat thought inconsistency seems likely.
