QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 2, 2014 -> 02:01 AM) Is it telling at all that Melo has spent the day/night in Chicago with Bulls brass and is only giving the Texas teams a few hours each tomorrow? I mean, we may as we'll tell ourselves this while the window hasn't shut.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 2, 2014 -> 01:43 AM) Spending a lot of time together...Tomorrows meetings with the Texas teams will be half a day each. Thank you Derrick. Noah

f*** belgium.

wellp.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 09:54 PM) Almost stole one....have to clean up the back line on defense. I believe that we will win!!! Love your positivity, hate my anxiety. Tim Howard, you are exceptional.

Unbelievable by Howard, please let it be worth it!

Oh and now Gonzalez is injured...

Yeah, pretty sure this is last US game barring miracle (which has been Tim Howard, frankly), so I've turned on video.

Tim Howard...man.

Man, this is disappointing. I was hoping they'd come out of the half firing.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 09:49 PM) We got dominated but hey 0-0. I like this Yedlin kid a lot. I'm listening on the radio (which is TERRIFYING), and it definitely seemed like things opened up when he came in. Agree, save Altidore for if we go down a goal.

Whoa, any details yet?

KC Johnson confirms: Rose IS at the UC at the meeting.

Whoa. Man I wish I had the summer off.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 07:40 PM) I believe they have to offer 90% of slot for compensation. Even with a failed physical? Are teams allowed to perform physicals prior to draft? That seems ridiculous.

In this case, does team get compensation?

KC showing up hard. Let me know if there are soldier field pics soon: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BretU0ACQAAbbnQ.jpg

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 07:16 PM) Rumor: Miami Heat Chris Bosh will sign 5 year deal starting at $11m/yr. Dwyane Wade 4 year deal starting at $12m/yr. (Source: John Canzano) If so, kudos to Bosh, who is actually valuable, to take that significant of a pay cut to make it happen. That will give Heat enough money to bring in Lowry +. Bosh is legitimately leaving about 28 million on the table easily. He's taking Tim Duncan end of career money.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 06:44 PM) And the court determined that the statutory requirements were not constitutional so... Oh yeah. Liberal mantra: the opinion doesn't fit with my beliefs so, worst possible decision ever, end of world. Yes, that is the liberal mantra. Also, conservatives have never disagreed with a court decision.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 07:41 PM) Worthless when you want quick updates though. I think part of it is that he checks with the org to make sure they are okay with him going out of stuff. Just my theory but he is ultra conservative. Agree, that's why that Deng thing threw him for a loop I think.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 06:42 PM) Just cause the media comes out with something doesn't mean much anything. They could be talking to a freaking janitor within the Bulls org for all you know who talked to so and so. This is nothing. I'm sure part of this too is downplaying fan expectations. Normally I'd agree with you but the Bulls front office is unusually disciplined.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 06:37 PM) Apparently if he is moving to a new city, his family is coming with him. And regarding the report, who really cares? Do you think there is a chance Melo won't sign because some website is reporting some unnamed member of the Bulls front office isn't optimistic? No, but I do think the Bulls Front Office has a propensity to make plans for free agency that they can't deliver on and continue to be a first/second round exit team. If they don't feel confident they can land melo, they should not have modeled their last 3 years around "2014 plan".

Right so Bolland makes 1 million less than Toews/Kane?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 05:30 PM) Is anyone really optimistic about the Bulls signing him? He has to uproot his family and play for less money, and spend his winters in Chicago. I'm glad this isn't supposed to drag on. I'm not optimistic, but I also don't work for the bulls front office and feel the need to open my mouth about it THE DAY HE ARRIVES. As per the rest, he doesn't have to uproot his family. Boozer's family has lived in Miami the last 4 years, and he really won't be taking in that much less money after taxes. Oh, and he doesn't have to play with Bargnani.

This is SOOO bulls front office: http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/bulls/post/_/id/19663/ This is the reason they get so much s***.
