QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 26, 2017 -> 07:13 PM) If Toews is really "back", this is a totally different team. 24 points in 13 games I believe.

Another great all around game for the Hawks. Those top two lines are just killing it right now.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 26, 2017 -> 06:18 PM) Wild give up a 1st, 2nd, and a conditional that could become a 2nd for Hanzal. That's a lot, they are going all in. Wow. It gets more and more expensive to deal at the deadline.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 25, 2017 -> 06:02 PM) Only if he does not get cleared until 6/15. Even if he is cleared this year, he could wait until next signing period. Though with the change in rules, teams that are already over spending pools have way more incentive to bid now if he is cleared before the deadline.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 26, 2017 -> 09:23 AM) I truly agree. The Sox made 2 trades total and have blown it regarding trading Melky and Frazier cause now we'll get nothing for them as they enter their free agent year. So many fans on this board will just say, "You can't get anything for Melky and Frazier." Really? Last year we couldn't have dumped them after it was obvious our team was going nowhere? No. We couldn't.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 24, 2017 -> 06:02 PM) With the first line en fuego and the draft in Chicago, I imagine that's the biggest move they make. It would be nice to not deal depth and draft picks anymore than we have to.

Hawks send a third round pick to Detroit for Tomas Jurco.

Man, people really will fall for anything.

You still have hurt feelings over an internet discussion from 13 months ago? Sounds like you need a hug and some validation there.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Feb 23, 2017 -> 04:30 PM) It's the Bulls man, that's the problem. It absolutely could, and probably, will happen again. In this teams 50 year history, they have been able to build around one superstar. One.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Feb 23, 2017 -> 02:57 PM) No chance in hell I trade Butler for 2 picks only. That's insane. Give up a starting All-Star in his prime for 2 POTENTIAL players. Hard, hard, pass. This was your typical Bulls FO bulls*** non-move. Stay good enough to sell tickets but not good enough to compete, keep options open for some miracle that a max FA can be signed. It couldn't have been just for two top picks. Salary cap restrictions wouldn't have allowed it.

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 23, 2017 -> 02:36 PM) But similar to a baseball manager, it's about putting your players in a position to succeed. The easy question is: If the Bulls had Fred Hoiberg as coach of the Bulls the last six season, is Jimmy who he is now? I honestly don't know the answer, but if I feel like Thibs had something to do with it (certainly not all of it, but more of an impact that Fred would have). I would put money that if Hoiberg had been Jimmy's coach his first five years in the league, Jimmy Butler wouldn't be in the NBA right now.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 23, 2017 -> 02:28 PM) Can I ask for the developing talent people what exactly that means to you guys in the NBA? Do we think like Niko's shot mechanics are wrong, maybe he dribbles funny? Did Doug run flat footed on the Bulls? If we want to say their system might not be the best fit for these players then I can at least buy that but I just don't think 'player development' is something a coaching staff in the NBA has that much ability to control. This is way over simplified. To me there is an obvious difference in player development abilities when you look around the NBA. What is it that the Spurs are able to do with guys drafted at the end of the first round, that a team like the Kings can't do with lottery pick after lottery pick? Thibs is another one who took some guys who had no business being good NBA players and turning them into one. Look at Jimmy Butler. Look at Taj.

I am sad to see Taj go, but I get the feeling that he wasn't coming back anyway.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 23, 2017 -> 01:40 PM) Heyman has article out today where a Nats source said WSox never acted like they wanted to really get rid of Robertson I am sure their price was based on 2015 Robertson and not 2016. The Nationals were probably bidding as if he was 2016 Robertson. The fact the White Sox didn't come down in price is probably where the idea that they didn't want to trade him comes from. They probably didn't want to get rid of him at a reduced price.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 23, 2017 -> 01:20 PM) Tickets for tonights game are pretty cheap, wonder why. Is everyone sick like me? Phoenix sucks and they don't travel at all.
