not me. He seems way too emotionally attached to players, has no idea how to put a team together. As a whole, he seems like a nice guy that isn't prepared for the harsh realities of being a GM.

wow. Did not see that comment coming.

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 08:26 PM) So now that the draft is over can we please get a real 2 guard so that Bogans is riding the pine or on another team? I'm in the OJ Mayo camp personally and wouldn't have minded dealing Omer for him. Any chance we use resources from this draft to make a trade in the coming days? I'm interested to see if there is movement or the whole league shuts down now.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 06:45 PM) It doesn't necessarily mean it would get cheaper, it could just be cheaper for the companies to accept the fines and let the subsidies and the people burden the load of expense... I see what you are trying to say here, but there is no guarantee the opposite doesn't happen. Just because companies dump people onto the exchanges it doesn't mean it's because its cheaper than private insurance at all...it could just mean that they'd rather you and I foot the bill than them. but that insurance is already subsidized by being tax free. And adding more people onto exchange would make it cheaper, you'd have more buying power the more people are on it.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 06:39 PM) As I said in the post, I never claimed the odds were good. True, there have been good picks in that range. But some of those definitely took time to develop. I just don't think it was reasonable to thinkt he bulls would use the draft to upgrade SG. They did not make that trade for Fernandez, but I hope that's because they are targeting someone they deem a better fit performance or salary wise.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 05:09 PM) Long story short: I really wanted Jujuan Johnson. Didn't think he'd be there when we picked first. He was there when we picked first. We took a guy that might help us in 2015. I got pissed. Didn't break any board rules. The end. I'm not suggesting you get banned, I just still want to talk about last night's draft, terrible a pool of talent as it was.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 04:53 PM) In theory, yes. But if suddenly truckloads of doctors say they're not accepting such insurance, it undermines the system as it's designed. It's exactly what they're doing with a lot of HMO's and Medicare...simply not accepting new patients that have it. Then they will have no patients. Simple as that. You think all the doctors in the country will be able to exclude a group that includes the most likely to need insurance? Those doctors are very few in the grand scheme of things. I'm sure every doctor would like to not get medicare rates, but the group is too large to ignore.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 04:56 PM) It's the NBA Draft. Everything posted about it was reactionary last night. He was just negative in his reaction. Reactionary wasn't the right word, but he was putting way too much emphasis on this draft and the bulls future. If this was cleveland/utah/minnesota, i'd understand. But it wasn't. If we traded rose for derrick williams I could see it, but this draft was so bad I don't think it will be the turning point for any franchise, let alone ours.

But I don't think this should include game threads. THere have been times during games where I have cursed voodoo spells on juan pierre, and then the play happens and whatever. It's way too hard not to be hyperbolic in the heat of a game.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 04:46 PM) And in the end, he was very much right on his first and main part of his infamous post: This board incredibly overrates Omer Asik. The fact that we may have just drafted someone in the first round to play 12 MPG 3-4 years from now should only scare people, especially when the Bulls should be in win now mode. And that's all he was trying to address at the time. Well, I hate to break it to you, but championship teams rarely find their missing pieces in the 25-32 range of the NBA draft. Players like Asik, and hopefully Mirotic, are exactly the time of role players that help you win championships. I don't think any of us expect the offseason to be over, except for 1. I like J4L but he was incredibly reactionary last night.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 05:30 PM) Examples of hyperbole are: Its a 3-1 game, White Sox are winning: "Sox will never win" That's a terrible example.

If companies dump off insurance, the exchanges will get stronger and more affordable.

Let alone what drove me crazy is using the bpa comment against the bulls, when clearly they weren't drafting on need. They didn't need a 7 ft forward, they needed a SG. And all these talks about drafting a sg in 20-32 that could contribute right away is crazy. He'd never see the floor. How many of those players have been great? Eddie Jones?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 04:10 PM) I'll say, with a lockout looming, drafting someone with a buyout clause never made more sense. Let Mirotic rock it overseas and add some bulk to his frame. exactly. I still can't believe the circus comments from last night happened.

I'm laughing hysterically at those who thought our 28th or 30th pick was going to put us over the top in any draft let alone this one.

Bulger terrorized Boston on a large scale. It affected businessowners, cops, politicians...this was a very significant arrest and there really should be no romanticizing about it.

the character was based off of him but it was not really a movie about him.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 07:27 PM) That's depressing. There was an article, unfortunately, also showing that a tax payer receipt did little to change their opinions.

Actually it's incredible. Totally with you Milkman. CIA and FBI having a good month. I can't believe he hid for this long though! I hope theres a movie on it

Good job cutting your losses t-wolves. No use wasting 2 years on a coach you know doesn't work.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 04:04 PM) Do they say that? I'd have to ask. I'd imagine my friends would say "what's the difference? criminals have/use guns they're not supposed to have. Doesn't stop them from shooting at us now." Well their representatives have not said that.

I think an interesting part of the gun debate, is that people who take the word of policeman in regards to drug policies (keeping them illegal), ignore policeman's recommendations when it comes to concealed carry. And vice versa.

well, for those of us who can't afford lolla, the afterparties usually feature a number of the acts at a cheaper price.

still...nebraska.
