QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 02:09 PM) And that's why it's worrisome. Depth could be a really big issue. Unfortunately this is the NHL working by design, though. There may be another 3 year lull while talent builds. I don't think expecting your two biggest stars to take deals way below market value deals is realistic. NHL needs to get some TV revenue. It's ridiculous to me how the top stars in NHL make so little comparitively. THe MLS pays their stars more.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 02:16 PM) I agree with an earlier post, I don't think Phil necessarily wants Melo at the max. I just think the crap he could get back for him is just so unattractive, so he has to keep Melo as an asset. If the Bulls added Melo, their draft picks won't be any good, and remember Phil really had no use for guys picked in the 20s when he was coaching. The reality is unless they beat the odds and land LeBron or Durant in the next couple of years, the Knicks aren't contending for a title until Melo is way past his prime. I think the crap would be unattractive except they have been so horrible about giving up draft picks (and may continue to need to dump them to get rid of more crap contracts) that picking up that sac pick and another 1st from bulls might be worth it.

How are there reports that sign and trades are no go when other reports say no attempts have been made between Phil and Bulls. Cowley is talking out of his ass.

It's amazing the logical knots silicon valley/sf will tie themselves into to continue their ignorance that they are "bursting at the seems". Can't build more! nope, need to believe in "geographical diversity". It would be much more preferable to take advantage of the tech efficiency in silicon valley by letting. more. people. live. there. http://techcrunch.com/2014/07/10/silicon-v...merican-cities/ Hate read of the day for me. Hate read of the day.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 03:02 AM) These are compliation of Cowley tweets before ^^^ this one. Source: the term "reconsidering'' with Carmelo "might be a bit strong.'' Bulls were contacted by the Anthony camp, not Anthony. .. it was to let them know that Anthony is really being weighed down by his decision. No money was discussed, but Bulls sense they might a need a bigger boat, and quickly. Sign and trade still not moving the Knicks. Could Taj now be moved to free up more money? Hmmmmm. Here's what I don't get about this, bulls and Knicks havent discussed sign and trade so how to we know it is even an obstacle? Honestly don't think Phil really wants melo.

Aggrey Sam is a good reporter. No reason to hate on him.

This is the worst.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 10, 2014 -> 09:24 PM) Sox have won final vote a record 4 times. Seriously, sox fans are good at this. Which makes me believe success will be rewarded at the ticket booth.

haha

"But certainly it won't last past Monday" we'll tell ourselves on Sunday.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 10, 2014 -> 09:42 PM) This would also assume that Melo and LeBron haven't been in contact at all. Well, according to woj, they haven't.

You really think on an open market Kane wouldn't have pulled 10.5?

I do, it's not like they are comparing sales vs. camp counselor. They are basketball players, their contracts are largely the same compared to other sports, and they in general know what a basketball team is.

Man, this makes me long for the decision.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 10, 2014 -> 08:36 PM) Chris Sheridan who said the announcement would be on the website last night actually thinks everyone else is being fed misinformation even though much of the information he has supposedly been given hasn't come true. hahaha

You guys don't understand the pull of the University of Missouri. Nobody can turn it down.

WHY IS NO ONE ON FLIGHT TRACKER

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 10, 2014 -> 06:07 PM) he backed off that statement a day after he made it Our team is full of articulate players.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 10, 2014 -> 05:59 PM) I don't know if there is any validity to this guys tweet, but if LeBron was announcing he was staying in Miami, I would think hanging out not far from Cleveland would be about the last place he would want to be tonight. I'm going to guess this is a bit of "telephone". My friend's dad works for Cleveland PD, said he heard from stadium police they were prepping for announcement of return. But then also said "they prep for basically every scenario" ... because it is summer and they have nothing else to do. They also have prepped for NBA finals victory.
