QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 09:28 PM) You know more about taxes than me, but my understanding of how income tax works for pro athletes is that they pay each state based on the games played there. So its 41 games taxed at NY rates v IL rate. There was an si article that broke this down and included this, chicago still way cheaper.

Wade for bi-annual hahahahahaha

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 08:00 PM) I really hope this doesn't drag out too long with Melo because I have long thought it makes a ton of sense to get Kirk back at the vet min and I think he will come back, but if we have to keep sitting around that could pose an issue. Bulls could also get really creative and sign Kirk to like a 4.7M deal (technically you make it a 3 year deal with final 2 years being non-guaranteed) and use it as another asset in a S&T. I have total confidence that Bulls management can re-sign Kirk Hinrich.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 07:53 PM) Ken Berger just tweeted... Hey, I heard that Carlos Boozer guy can shoot long jumpers and 3s. Can't imagine how fun that would be

first round pick (2 years following the year in which Heat satisfies its obligation to convey a future first round draft pick to Cavaliers, protected top 10 in 2015-16, unprotected in 2017) +++ This line, and correct, 2017, I did the EOYs wrong in my head.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 07:43 PM) Seriously? Like Unprotected? Top 10 protected until 2018.

Unfortunately i do know one thing, Noah is 30. Rose ... we don't know. Taj is 49 years old. This is it. They put their eggs in the Melo basket. They have to deliver.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 07:15 PM) Where's LeBetard crying and sweating? His show starts at 3 right?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 07:06 PM) If there were good options this year, sure. But there arent, so it would make 0 sense to commit money right now and then not wait and see what happens. #2015plan #2016plan #2017plan #2018plan #2019plan

Also, if nobody at Mizzou cared about Aaron Crow or Scherzer when I went there, nobody's gonna care about Montes de Oca.

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 04:22 PM) If you're Bryce Montes De Oca and were just drafted by the Chicago White Sox last month and also have a commitment to Missouri baseball, a top SEC program, what would it take for you to sign and start playing professionally at 18? Yes I understand Montes De Oca will likely never step foot in the White Sox organization but I'm just wondering what it would take (money and otherwise) for him to not go to Missouri, where he can prove himself and make more money in 3 years, gain an education, and maybe even an SEC title or award, and rather go to Camelback Ranch and for him to start his career as a ChiSock and start climbing the ranks to the Show, earning money, playing professionally, and learning from Coop every Spring. Anyways, best of luck to this kid, wouldn't mind drafting him in 2017 if he can really prove himself.

It drives me nuts how Morey, whom this morning we all thought was screwed, suddenly has everything work out because he is aggressive. Meanwhile Bulls are like...

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 07:00 PM) No one is really lining up for Boozer right now. And next year the Bulls could likely make a max fa offer with guys like Aldridge, Love, as UFA and Klay Thompson as RFA. (Edit) Which is why if the Bulls dont get Melo they might as well just ride with what they have instead of getting a band-aid (presuming they cant trade for a Love or Aldridge). Aldridge said he plans to sign an extension this offseason.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 07:34 PM) But if they retain Beasley and Oden,............ I spit out my soda laughing.

If you are Wade, you have to consider Phoenix, right?

I just want to laugh at this really quick: PG - Norris Cole SG - Wade SF - Granger PF - McBob C - Haslem

5 years 250 million.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 05:11 PM) I just want to thank the Spurs for beating the crap out of Miami in the Finals. Without that performance, there's no way LeBron would leave Miami. It's easy to say this after the fact (channeling broussard) but you could tell in that press conference that something was up.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 04:59 PM) I just did, and meant it....Why does everyone hate Wade? I'd rather have Melo/Stephenson but I'd be more than happy with Wade. Dirtiest player in NBA now that garnett is nothing, constantly looks for fouls, horrible person.

BREAKING: bulls sign Kirk Hinrich to 2 year 8 million deal JK but that's what I"m waiting for.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 04:44 PM) houston SOURCE CONFIRNED YOU IS CORRECT

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 04:37 PM) ESPN announcing the return. LBJ is heading home. Come to Chicago Melo!!! Don't give ESPN any credit for this.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 04:42 PM) In mere minutes, we should see Bosh sign with Houston. Classy way Bron Bron handled this. Presume you all have read the SI letter he wrote. CLE has to trade Lin first.

I hate this hack more than marriotti or the whole world: Source confirms? Really?
