QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 01:25 PM) Hobby Lobby gets a tax break for compensating employees with health care benefits. Since they're refusing to meet the statutory minimums for the quality of those benefits, should they still be entitled to the tax breaks? No.

THE HAWKS JUST SIGNED>>> Peter Regin. 650k

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 01:28 PM) While it's no fun when your team doesn't make any big moves, re-signing 19 & 88 long-term is much better than any big money deals that happen on July 1. /thread

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 01:22 PM) As long as we aren't being influenced by the overspending wave. They don't have any room to do so. They have no choice. Either he fits, or he doesn't. The one thing they do a great job of here is managing the cap.

Maybe once we win, not 3, not 4, not 5...

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 12:53 PM) But we also don't have to give him $30-40 million, either. We're talking about $3-5 million. I'll take 5-10 versions of this guy over one Soler every time. For a team that is over their International signing bonus, or doesn't care about that number, there is literally zero reason not to blow away a low ball offer like that.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 01:03 PM) According to Hockeybuzz: Chicago and B. Richards talking Hawks and Brad Richards makes sense... 1 yr deal? I like it.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 12:49 PM) Nick Friedell @NickFriedell Bulls officials feeling confident about pitch as they head into United Center. They've always believed Chicago offers best place to win. Nick Friedell @NickFriedell Carmelo, in a full Bulls uniform, is on some of the other video boards around the United Center ? Pictures are all over twitter, if you are curious.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 12:33 PM) Right so Bolland makes 1 million less than Toews/Kane? This year, yes. Next year, not so much.

When is the start of the match today, in Chicago time?

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 12:24 PM) I know alot of you guys are hopeful about Melo joining the Bulls, I'm not. IMO, Melo cares more about money than titles. He isn't going anywhere and he'll get the max in NY. I'm not hating on him, I just don't believe he'll leave money on the table for a shot at a championship. If that were the case, he never had a need to become a free agent.

Rose is going to help pitch Melo. Good for Derrick! http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baske...0,3121099.story

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 11:37 AM) I'm sure every team bends the rules a little bit. At the very least, teams and agents have middle men. How is it, if the Bulls could not talk to Melo, they had a meeting set up for him for today, last week? Because there is a difference between scheduling a visit and contract negotiations?

Can the Hawks petition to move to the East?

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 11:27 AM) I am 100% sure he knew EXACTLY what was going on. but there is no way to prove it unless there are emails or internal memos. If there are, they they are complete idiots. No paper trail = no evidence. And, it's happening all again. Bingo.

I'd like to see him do it, as I think he seems to have the ability to make adjustments pretty quickly. But if he doesn't want to do so, he should just stay home.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 11:18 AM) Meanwhile we are all cheering on Noah to collude. Players are allowed to do what they want. Front offices are not. There is a clear distinction there. Welcome to the NBA.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 11:15 AM) To be honest...that is what I'm hoping for (if that is what they did). Hard part is proving that front office was involved vs. just the players all talking and saying they are / were going to do X and then they just had to hope that ownership would do it. And maybe ownership / management just said come to us with your plan and we'll go with it. Which is still a violation of the rules.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 10:18 AM) Does this roll over? No.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 11:00 AM) give them the Joe Smith treatment. Even better, void all deals, and ban them from resigning with the heat.
