Noel a plummeting.

Definitely the most unpredictable draft of all time.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jun 27, 2013 -> 05:46 PM) Not a fan of Bennett, especially since he's probably going to play the 3 in Cleveland. He needs to play the 4 to maximize his abilities. I like Bennett but not as a fit in Cleveland. There's just no way he can guard the 3 in the NBA. Not sure how you fit him and Thompson together.

Already the best draft ever!

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 27, 2013 -> 04:27 PM) I'm happy that at least at this point, we seem to have a clear direction on what we want to do from the front office and it makes a lot of sense. If anything, Hahn just seems to not be as stubborn as Kenny. Rick realizes this team is hot garbage and it's time for a shakeup.

This makes me happy.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 27, 2013 -> 02:13 PM) This core has only played with Rose in the postseason once. Everything anyone thinks about the Bulls is based on one playoff series. I'm not comfortable with that. This is actually a good point as well. I haven't even thought about it that way.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 27, 2013 -> 10:32 AM) Again, how are the Bulls getting better? You get Rose back, great. You had Rose in '11 and got smoked. So that's obviously not enough. Deng/Noah get injured all the time. Boozer is a liability. Butler is a nice piece. But that's it. He's a piece. Stop talking to me about the Heat and their weaknesses and tell me how the Bulls and their much more obvious weaknesses get to the next level? This will be the first time in the LeBron/Miami era that the Bulls will have 5 quality NBA starters, not sure how you don't think that makes a huge difference.

I hate the Bulls conservativeness as much as anyone but I'm actually fine going into next season with this core. Sign a wing, draft a big(or vice versa), stay healthy(biggest thing here) and they'll have as good a shot as anyone to win it all next year imo.

Kane had like an awkward funniness to him on Letterman tonight.

Got some eye candy on big brother this year. The blonde from Texas state is smoking.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 26, 2013 -> 10:28 AM) He earned it. Ya, I think he's allowed to party it up for a little while.

QUOTE (lord chas @ Jun 25, 2013 -> 11:57 PM) Hawk was priceless. You could feel how ticked off he was His meltdown is up on deadspin. Classic. QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jun 26, 2013 -> 12:23 AM) Maybe I'm wrong but isn't Sale suppose to move to the 1st base side away from the play? That was Reed and yes he has to do a better job of getting out of the way there.

Oh Chris.

This is like the best worstest game ever on paper!!!!

To answer the title of this thread...definitely. I like Addy but he's a reliever and one whose value will never be higher. Obviously you're not giving him away but I'm definitely shopping him around to see what you can get.

The list of injuries coming out for some of these players is just nuts. Hockey players are awesome.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 25, 2013 -> 09:40 AM) At the end of the day, I think if any of the top 5 major teams win, the city goes crazy. No one in their right mind would argue hockey's place on the national stage but this city has absolutely fallen in love with the Hawks. Look at the sell out streak, ticket prices, tv ratings, whatever you want to look at, Chicago has been hockey crazy for a bit now.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 25, 2013 -> 09:30 AM) The Illini run in 2005 was much bigger than either Hawks run. I will say the Hawks picked a perfect time to get good. Chicago sports is pretty awful right now. Do you even live in this city?

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jun 25, 2013 -> 01:00 AM) Well I'm doing it. Toews said keep the bars open as they will fill the Cup and share with the city. I am the city. Or something. BTW, reading about these injuries. Bickell strained knee, hence the breakup of 88/19/29...Hossa disc problem where he couldn't f***ing feel his foot while playing. Toews concussion Game 5 (why the f*** was he playing........................). Also Bergeron was apparently half dead and played. Jesus. I didn't think this one could even get close to 2010. And it couldn't. But f*** they way they pulled that off....this is sure something. f***ing ridiculous. Well if you want a friend and someone to embarrass you, you know how to reach me.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jun 25, 2013 -> 12:50 AM) Next year, my friend. Although with the amount of jumping I do, I would have ended up in your place anyway. No need to run upstairs. I'm waiting to go out chasing the Cup at 3 or 4am. Because, hey, why not. Either rosemont or pony inn, we'll see. Goal: drink from the Cup this morning. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I said I'd answer the phone. Not sure about the funds... Still not arrested, you have no faith in me! Seriously the 3 am chase sounds like a great idea.

Wrigley has been nuts. Krush already volunteered to bail me out of jail though, no worries!

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jun 24, 2013 -> 06:24 PM) If the Sox had kept AJ, they might be about 8 games out of first instead of 10½ games out. That would have been well worth the extra $7.5M to have a team that doesn't quite suck as much as the one we actually have. Exactly. Letting AJ go was absolutely the right move.

I was at sportscorner in 2010 when they won it all, ill be there again tonight. End it tonight!!!!!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 24, 2013 -> 01:57 PM) Trading Deng for a 2014 draft pick would not be "White Flagging it" for this year given what the roster looks like right now. Butler can slide into Deng's starting role, they still have players in the backcourt, and they would have the MLE to fill in the gaps without doing long-term damage to their financial flexibility. That said, Steve continues to be right; the front office just isn't that aggressive. Ya...this, all of this.
