QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 08:29 AM) Dan Gilbert: The intensity and smack talking definitely made me laugh, and I completely understand where you are coming from, although you did enable some of it. But I do have one question though. How do you expect to win a title when you just showed every free agent in the NBA that you'll turn on them in a second if they leave Cleveland?? I'm sure they will be on the next flight to Cleveland to join an owner like that. Only if every free agent acts as classless as leBron did as he left. Not returning calls, no common courtesy to call an owner to tell them you are going somewhere else and embarrassing an entire city on national TV with a stupid decision show.

Woj has a great article up on ESPNchicago.com

QUOTE (greasywheels121 @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 08:39 PM) Where are you running? I run all over the west loop. I go down to little italy and back basically.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 02:02 AM) Here's what I'd like to see: Trade whatever for Richardson, if you can get him for a trade exception or something, wonderful. Sign Brewer to be your backup shooting guard. Sign Livingston or Ridnour to be your backup PG and fill out the last 3-5 spots with minimum guys from the summer league team. Rose Richardson Deng Boozer Noah Brewer Gibson Ridnour/Livingston Asik Johnson MIN MIN I like your ideas here.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 09:19 PM) Hah, forgot about that.....that was always Michael's weakness too...the ladies... Funny how quickly that went away.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 09:13 PM) I've always liked Kobe actually. Despite his blatant obsession with Jordan (down to every freaking mannerism), one thing it has taught him is how to act with class and like a gentleman. This is all the more apparent now. Except the whole "rapist" thing

Actually just threw in his airness instead.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 09:03 PM) hard to watch this whole thing without appreciating jordan that much more Actually just took out the box set and I'm going to watch a few old games.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 09:02 PM) I might need to take a break from the internet for the weekend. Since I'm a Hurricanes fan, I go to a Miami forum daily and some are going nuts. Already talking about breaking the 72-10 record. Thats tough. I think they will live in the 60's and most likely touch 70 at some point. Not sure anyone can break 72-10. They went 41-3 out of the box.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 09:00 PM) Hire John Calipari and trade D. Rose for Chris Paul, if at all possible Well, we have cap space, hopefully they are going all out to bring another piece in right now via trade. Bring in some contracts, f*** it, we have room.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 08:46 PM) Let's put it this way. They bet everything and lost. They gambled the last 2 years of their franchise and the next 3+ years of their franchise on being able to win one of the top 3 guys this offseason, and couldn't figure out that the top 3 guys had all decided 2 years ago at the olympics that they wanted to play together. They could have won more games the last few years if they hadn't been going for cap space, and decided to go for the cap space instead. For that decision, they got the rights to give a terrible contract to Carlos Boozer. If that's not a fireable offense, then I don't know what is. Boozer's contract isnt terrible. And they also got some draft picks for next year to help fill the roster with young talent. The offseason isnt over.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 08:43 PM) Really? I could totally see Pujols winding up with a 10 year, $300 mil deal with the Yankees next offseason. I just wouldn't sit there and think "oh, it's over now!" when they signed him, because baseball doesn't work that way. But he wouldnt have his own special on ESPN IMO.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 08:41 PM) You know what? There's a decent and interesting hockey team in Chicago isn't there. With much more likeable players than 99.9 percent of the NBA.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 08:40 PM) Me too...if I lived and died with the Bulls like we do with the Sox, I'd be devastated right now. Frankly I'm glad baseball is such a team game that the best player changing teams isn't a totally do a die move. Although Pujols would never do something like LeBron just did.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 08:38 PM) Yeah, I'm amazed at how suddenly I'm so much less interested in the NBA. Anywho, please tell me Pax and Forman have already been fired. Like I said earlier, the only saving grace for me is that its not even one of my top 5 sports to watch, therefor I can somewhat forget it exists.

Wow, what a s*** show the Cavs are going to be.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 08:36 PM) I just want to apologize to Kobe Bean Bryant for all the hatred I've spewed your way for years. You're not Jordan. But you're so close. Please, deny this motherf***er a ring. You're my only hope. Amen

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 08:34 PM) Unless we somehow find a way to trade for CP3, they should have our number going forward. Still I think we'll be 2nd best in the East next season at least. Miami Boston Orlando Chicago is how I see them stacking up

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 08:31 PM) Honestly that's why I said you couldn't rule any of the 4 teams out. You narrow yourself down to 2 teams like that, you leave yourself open to that. Well at least Miami vs. Orlando got a little more interesting for the next 10 years I guess. Miami is going to b**** slap the s*** out of Orlando.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 08:31 PM) Well Kobe now goes down as the greatest player of his generation. Sorry Lebron Ive always thought you were the best, but nothing you can do can compete with Kobe at this point. Kobe just jizzed all over his 5 rings.

Well, one thing is for sure, MJ is still going to be known as the best ever.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 07:36 PM) You should detach one of its arms. Really. good idea. I much prefer my AJP bobblehead.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 06:51 PM) that depends on what you get me Peavy bobblehead? Seriously.
