QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 01:22 PM) So than why trade Jefferson in the first place? Expensive, slow, can't play with Love, no defense. Jefferson is a very good offensive player, but if we can move him for someone that fills a bigger need on the team, it'd make sense. I'm not completely convinced that moving Big Al is needed (and I certainly don't get the David Lee rumors or the idea of moving him strictly as a salary dump), but if we want to give Love more playing time, it makes some sense.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 01:19 PM) I don't know why you always hear about Minny trading him, but I wonder if there is some sort of 3 way deal that could interest the Wolves. I dont' even know what the Wolves would be interested in. Shooting guard or athletic big men.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 01:12 PM) No, but there are questions surrounding Jefferson. I wonder if we could pull of some sort of deal for Jefferson, using Deng/picks as bait. Why would the Wolves want Deng? We just drafted Wes Johnson and traded for Martell Webster.

I'm so shocked that Lebron would turn his back on the city that put a billboard asking him to come there. A BILLBOARD! Who does he think he is?

I'm going to be pissed off if we trade Jefferson as just a salary dump and then sign David Lee.

The chat doesn't have rain delays.

After a couple of months of unemployment, I might finally be getting a damned job in my industry. Still not completely certain, but I've been in touch with my old bosses during a part-time internship and it sounds like I might be heading back for a full-time position. Now the waiting game begins...

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 03:32 PM) I didnt see 2 minutes worth of delays though. Fun finish though. Probably not 2 minutes worth, but there were certainly delays to warrant extended play.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 03:29 PM) He did Insomnia? The one in Alaska with Robin Williams as the bad guy? I didn't know he did that one. Yeah, I liked all of those, though I haven't seen "Following". Insomnia was awesome, although admittedly I'm a sucker for both Al Pacino and Robin Williams.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 03:25 PM) So much for 3' of stoppage time, that went to 5. Added some extra intrigue to the game. Back-to-Back all-Euro finals, oh joy! That's what happens when there are delays during stoppage time.

And there's the game. Uruguay definitely had the chances to equalize it at the end, but Holland held on.

Life for Uruguay! 3-2 in stoppage time.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 03:05 PM) Kind of glad Holland will win. I don't buy the idea of Uruguay "cheating" in how they beat Ghana, but it still felt kind of dirty. Plus, Holland vs. Germany or Spain will be a great matchup IMO. It did end up screwing them in the semis. Suarez was one of their better attackers and certainly effected the likely outcome of this game. I do wonder how this match would have played out had Suarez been able to play. Either way, the Dutch have played very well and deserve to be in the finals. Should be a good matchup either way.

No question on that one. 3-1 Holland.

Questionable offside no-call on the second Holland goal, but this has been an excellent game so far. Let's see an equalizer for Uruguay in these final 20 minutes.

Forlan! Great goal.

Brilliant goal.

Go Uruguay!

Not sure if that's a record for views. The Recruiting thread also has 116,979 views. So yeah, that's not happening.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 11:50 AM) Just out of curiousity, does anybody know the numbers for the largest thread ever here in terms of posts, views, and pages? If this drags out into Friday and Saturday like some think, we could make a run at it. Game 3 of the 2005 World Series had almost 80,000 views and 2,524 replies. This has already passed it in terms of replies, but I doubt it'll get views. Not sure if that's a record for views.

WiTe FiRe is awesome.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 09:28 AM) Ingloriuous Bastards proved that QT still sucks at making movies (Resevoir Dogs being his last good one). Decent idea, style was all over the place, pacing was all over the place, crappy ending, and 30 minutes longer than it needed to be. Just bad. Considering Resevoir Dogs came out 2 years before Pulp Fiction (and 5 years before Jackie Brown), this post proves that you have an awful taste in movies.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jul 4, 2010 -> 10:42 AM) Well I don't know if Jefferson can get back to averaging 23 PPG with Minny, simply because he was taking 14 shots per game this season compared to around 19 in the past. I think they want a more quicker / agile PF to pair with Darko / Petkovic, and that they see Love as more of a 6th man going forward. I suppose that's true. I just don't see Lee being the answers to any questions, and I really don't think we need another big man that can't hold his own defensively, especially since Lee is one of the worst in the NBA. QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jul 4, 2010 -> 10:42 AM) O.J Mayo would look good for the T-Wolves though. I still don't really mind that trade. Mayo definitely has a higher ceiling, but I'm a fan of Love and like how he fits on our team. But yeah, Mayo would look good for us

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jul 4, 2010 -> 09:21 AM) I suppose Ellis fits D'Antoni mould of a SG, but I like that deal for Minny. I don't quite get why we'd swap Jefferson for Lee. He's not going to be able to play with Kevin Love, and I really don't think he's an upgrade on Jefferson as is. Last year was the first year back from a major injury for Al, and he was still a very effective player. I don't see why he wouldn't get back to his previous levels, which were superior to Lee. Add in that he's two years younger, and I really don't get it.
