Sources: Broussard is reporting what Phil said last week as if it is brand new info. Everyone knew Melo was going to get the Max in New York.

I will be disappointed of course, but it isn't like I felt he was coming to Chicago 100 percent. If it doesn't happen, the Bulls need to move on quickly and decisively. And by that I do not mean Mirotic, the end.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 03:23 PM) I don't make decisions that affect the country. I am not in that group. In fact, I've yet to ever invade a country, to the best of my sober knowledge. That comparison just got a C-section. You can vote, so you can make decision that affects the country. sort of

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 02:07 PM) Knicks fans are also saying if they take Boozer we gotta take Smith....Which I'm all for. Smith has a little bit of Nate Robinson in him and Thibs kinda made that work. If they take on Smith that leaves 1 less hole to fill with the the 2 exceptions they have. I think Thibs would kill Smith as soon as he went rogue. Which will be the first official practice

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 02:00 PM) I just don't think "1 extra day off every 3-4 weeks" is in any way ridiculous or excessive, and especially for a guy who has never played 150 games seems like a really smart precaution. Especially with the sheer number of 1b we're carrying on this roster. I just dont think it is that simple. Does today count as a day off to you? Or is it only when he doesnt play a game, that it is counted as a day off?

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 02:02 PM) Absolutely. The only exception is when a guy goes into a game with a set pitch count from the get-go, like Sale's first start after the DL. Otherwise, he keeps going. I think Edwin Jackson threw over 150 pitches when he threw a no hitter. he also walked an obscene number of guys, i think 8

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 01:27 PM) I just can't figure out why its impossible to have a middle ground. We play him every day so much so that he struggles for a week and then hits the disabled list, basically costing him 2/3 of the month of May. He then resumes playing every day in June. I'll admit I was wrong coming into this season, I thought Robin would wind up playing Konerko too often to get the veteran playing time. Instead we play Abreu until he breaks down and winds up on the DL because off days are for the weak. I know you are under the assumption that playing many games = DL, but it isnt always the case. The guy seems to be past his ankle issue right now, i dont see him limping, he is hustling down the line, making diving plays at first. If you start to see the guys production dip and he starts showing signs of his ankles bothering him, of course he needs a breather, but he is getting better as the month has gone along.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 01:08 PM) Just to point out...as of yesterday, the White Sox have played 28 games since Jose Abreu came off the disabled list. Since coming off the disabled list, Jose Abreu has played 28 complete games. That "day off" someone said he would get? Yup. and his numbers show he is obviously suffering for it.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 11:53 AM) Personally, I don't differentiate. That is full blown cheating as far as I'm concerned (violation of trust). Regarding vacation, probably would be best for one of the parties not to be there, otherwise, hard for the kids to even enjoy themselves. It is definitely a violation of trust, im just saying that my level of function would be much better without the act. either way, i hope everything works out for you athome. Terrible thing to find out

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 11:51 AM) Cool. I see there is a hole in the bottom. As such I don't think I'd use it for beer, I think I'd stick my willy through the hole on the bottom and use the coozie as a hat for my balls. But if girls saw it, they would say "He gone!" and be disinterested. Food for thought

The Return

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 11:23 AM) Found out today that my wife has been cheating on me with one of my friends (the best man at our wedding 9 years ago). Sexual texts and tweets. They've kissed a few times. This revelation before we were set to leave on a weeklong family vacation. this should be fun. Only texts/tweets and a few kisses, or she actually cheated on you with him in bed? Not that the first couple things are acceptable, but I would be much more of a wreck if it was all of the above. Also, i would say F*** this vacation im out

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 09:16 AM) Both him and Sale. Trade Quintana he isnt going to be a on a playoff team in 2020

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 09:13 AM) I don't think Wade would have had many better options anyway, but Bosh definitely would have. Well his better option would be to NOT opt out, no?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 3, 2014 -> 09:10 AM) I wonder is Wade and Bosh now realize maybe opting out while noble, wasn't so smart. everyone in Miami is at Lebrons mercy right now. How can you possibly tell that guy he isnt getting the Max? and if he is offered and takes the max, where does that leave the rest of the team?

Apparently Wade and Bosh arent really too keen on the smaller paychecks/longer deals now.

i would trade this thread for an old bag of balls

Melo gave Houston 6 hours, and Dallas 2 hours of his time

So a guy heard from another guy watching TV sometime recently that Windhorst said on ESPN that Pau wants to be part of a Package deal with Melo

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jul 2, 2014 -> 03:27 PM) I'm not really much of an NBA fan anymore. I usually skim through this thread just for the entertaining arguments and people freaking out over whatever somebody else says. So I gotta ask, Where's Steve? Steve is in tahiti. I expect him back tomorrow

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 2, 2014 -> 01:40 PM) You can be my vice president in the "judge how badly people suck" club. Welcome. Wite, you suck so bad you even come in second in the "judge how badly people suck" club. You are the Joe Biden

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 2, 2014 -> 12:32 PM) I heard in the next 10-15 years Houston's population is supposed to pass Chicago's. TRU is contributing to that

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 2, 2014 -> 11:32 AM) Says the guy with "i suck" as a personal description. Which means he can accurately judge someone elses sucktitude

Im just gonna not worry about cap/trade/exception crap. If Melo wants to be a bull, he will be. It will be figured out
