QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 02:58 PM) Who are these players you speak of? You may be right, there might be someone i'm not thinking of, but for now, to get over the hurdle of "veteran of the system/franchise + good defender+capable ball-handler," I need some names. I think we have established that to bmags they are all named "Not Hinrich"

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 01:29 PM) okay. But the team scored 68 points in a playoff game, when this team needs offense, are you going to throw Kirk at the 2? That's exciting to everyone? I'd rather have tried the BAE on Shawn Marion than kirk if we wanted defensive re-enforcement. I'd have no problem had Kirk decided to pay the org a true discount and signed for vet min I'd be all for it. But to sign him at 2 million per because he is better at defense than 2 offensive guards, meh. you are acting like Hinrich was the only addition, and is going to be the starter going forward forever. He is a backup. If he ends up being the starter, then the Bulls are certainly in trouble(for reasons other than him starting), but he was not brought in to be the starter.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 12:08 PM) I didn't even catch it at first. Am I insensitive if I said I don't see the big deal? Not like they're bragging about it I think the attention that is drawn to it will be the determining factor. If there is a huge outcry, they will be dropped like a bad habit. The deadspin article is not a good start

I didnt watch the PPV, but to those wondering if Rusev and Lana are about to get "Hassan"-ed, this shows a very good possibility http://deadspin.com/wwes-russian-character...airl-1608239659

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 10:49 AM) But what are they supposed to do? They are going to come out about as well as anyone. And for as much as we think Denver is in NBA Hell, they are collecting good assets while being a potential playoff team. They may be able to pull of a great trade in the future, but for a franchise like that, making the playoffs is good news. They aren't like the Bucks of 07-12. Denver has been just like the Bulls in the western conference. Good enough in the season to get b**** slapped in the playoffs by better teams with superstars. There are so many things Minnesota should have done prior to this point, but that is just kickign a dead horse. If they can get Wiggins, thats great, I stated before that I think Cleveland should hold on to Wiggins over trading for Love. I just think that stating that Minnesota is on track to get the greatest haul since Denver isnt exactly a glowing endoresement for trading a superstar.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 10:32 AM) Trading stars in the NBA for a package of non star players rarely works out for the team giving up the star, going back to the Bucks trading Kareem. I kept it recent, but outside of getting Wiggins, this is probably not going to work out well for Minnesota. And even if they get Wiggins, he will probably just bide his time until it is his turn to force a trade, and the cycle begins anew

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 10:15 AM) I can't remember a team ever getting a #1 pick back in one of those trades. Still hasnt happened. Bottom line is these kind of "rigged for star power" trades keep teams like Denver and Minnesota in NBA hell

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 10:09 AM) Minnesota is on pace to get one of the best hauls for a star player leaving since Denver. Which really didnt do much for either party. And going back to Minnesotas haul for Garnett and all the way through Orlandos haul for Howard, trading for a star player really kind of sucks for the star trading team.

Knightni and TUC just might become besties

I wonder at what point in his career Konerko said to himself "f***it, I am slow. No more busting ass to first"

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 09:08 AM) Not when his value is this low coming off a disaster rookie year. Personally, I would wait to see how he bounces back. I know it's SL, but he looks like he's in much better shape and is playing with some aggression I didn't see at all last year (again, i know it's sl). I understand that, but if he nets you Love I would say that is a win. Now, if he goes WITH Wiggins I would say thats too much. I know Twolves are demanding Wiggins to make the trade work, but if Cleveland could manage the trade without parting with Wiggins and dealing Bennett, I would do that every time.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 08:58 AM) I'm not trading him or Bennett right now if I'm Cleveland. Not Bennett? Really? Wiggins I get, but Bennett could end up being Darko part 2

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 08:49 AM) Pederson or Urias would have to be included in any deal. *DING*

QUOTE (Butter Parque @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 08:18 AM) It will lead to some serious injuries when guys feel they have to stay on the bag through the play. Not really sure why you would feel that, they dont have to stay on the bag, they merely have to touch it with possession of the ball. If you plant on the bag and stay there throughout the play, the fault is yours if you get injured. I dont see why it is ok in your eyes for the neighborhood play to award an out when an out is not actually recorded.

I think that Edwin is what he is, a tremendously talented (overpaid) tease. He has been on a lot of staffs in his young career and the results have mostly stayed the same, which is consistent wildl flashes of brilliance and awful.

That is just disgusting. You battle back to tie after a bad outing by Danks and 4 runs immediately given back

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 20, 2014 -> 10:46 AM) Pitcher pissed about 2-out bunt against shift w/ 2-run lead, calls it breach of etiquette Rasmus is an asshole, but come on now. I honestly cannot find fault in what Rasmus did. It wasn't a no hitter he was breaking up, they weren't blowing out the Rangers, it was an insurance run and Rasmus saw an opportunity

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 19, 2014 -> 09:30 PM) Putnam has been really good. His splitter is awesome

Law was against Abreu to the Sox? I don't remember that

QUOTE (Tex @ Jul 19, 2014 -> 06:43 AM) I'm trying to understand why I and many others view these two types of events so differently. 1. A missal is shot at an airplane and innocent people are killed. 2. A missal is shot at a military target in a city and "collateral damage" occurs. In other words innocent people are killed. It seems fair to me to assume that whomever shot at that plane thought they were shooting at a military target making the Malaysian flight "collateral damage". I'm not saying we shouldn't be outraged, sad, and all the emotions we are feeling over this tragedy, but perhaps we should have a bit more outrage at "collateral damage"? How often did we shoot missals in Iraq and other countries knowing their would be "collateral damage"? I saw a map of the routes that different airlines were taking through that region. Some continued to fly over that airspace other avoided it. What possible reasons could you have to fly over the Ukraine? I'm guessing the answer will concern fuel costs. Supposedly they were routing around bad weather

Ozzie can do no wrong to Greg. It's all Cowleys fault that Ozzie is basically angling for Robins job

Did he go on his own or did McEwing send him

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 02:20 PM) offense still stands around and watches rose, bad offball movement, only one player who can create off the dribble, and the worst spacing in the league. We hope that's fixed, but we don't know. We are 2 months removed from scoring 68 points in a playoff game. This is just guessing. This is a different team, the squad that steps on the floor in a few months is going to be quite different than that playoff team

I just want to say after listening to Pau and Nikos press conference, Spanish newspaper reporters are hilarious "Hi, i am from (spanish newspaper name), Welcome to Chicago! I want to know what you feel about Brazils national soccer team?"
