QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Feb 18, 2010 -> 10:56 AM) Looks like Tyrus may go to Charlotte for Acie Law/Flip Murray/Future 1st. Per Bucher. That would be solid.

Official 2009-2010 NBA Thread
QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 18, 2010 -> 09:49 AM) ESPN 1000 right now... KC Johnson says it'll be Warrick/Alexander... Bulls tried to get in on 3-way Houston/Sacramento deals... Bulls want to clear more salary to get two max FAs this offseason, KC doesn't think it'll happen... Bulls have told everyone in the league they aren't taking ANY contracts back... Bulls nowhere near Amare talks... Bosh won't move today... Knicks have offered Harrington for Tyrus and expiring, it's been on the table for awhile, but the Bulls want to actually get something for him other than expirings, if they want to make that deal, it's there... That is a nice package, and we are out of the Salmons option. Excellent. Don't 2000 this up guys.

Dye says "crowded outfield" prolonged his slump
For some reason he totally misread this market. After last year, there is no excuse for that. Sign quickly or watch the price drop was exactly what happened then as well.

Nothing new yet. I almost hope we get an ultimatum from Jerry or Kenny.

The Republican Thread
QUOTE (lostfan @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 06:43 PM) Why would he? He's not. None of these talking heads on the opinion shows are journalists and none of them pretend to be. I could get a show on Fox if I could hold good ratings. People see them that way though for some reason. Meh that's a daily occurrence on Fox, it would border on being a non-event. That's pretty much Glenn Beck's MO. Yeah, I am sure there is no reason why the Dem thread is a couple of thousand posts longer than the Rep thread...

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 05:16 PM) Salmons going (as long as the Bulls get an expiring back) would assure the team that they'll have at least enough cap room to offer one max contract. Sounds like the deal might be with Orlando with JJ Reddick and fillers. I'm down. Give me a shooter who can actually shoot.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 05:05 PM) KC Johnson on twitter: Bulls management has told Salmons to remain at team hotel as it works to finalize a trade. Won't play vs. Knicks. Sweet. Dump that player option.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 02:24 PM) Damon's wife is smart. You'd listen to her, too. It doesn't matter how she looks, if it involves living in Detroit, anyone should listen to her.

Tigers Sign Damon - 1 yr, 8 mil; NTC
QUOTE (hogan873 @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 09:24 AM) If nothing else it shows that the Sox are serious. The question is, what got JR involved? Did he recognize that the team needs this or did KW ask for him to be involved? I am guessing with Borass involved on the other side of the table, it is easier to do this than to keep playing the games in the media.

Healthcare reform
QUOTE (Y2HH @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 09:21 AM) My father was in Nam and exposed to agent orange, so let's say I have a unique perspective on this. Do you know what he'd have to go through to collect on that? His friends did...and it's so red-tape filled that by the time you start collecting you're probably dead or dying...that's how awesomely efficient the VA is. I do as well. Its hard to collect for something the government refused to admit actually happened. The federal government has a long history of these actions, such as denying Roswell even existed so that they didn't have to pay out benefits to people who were exposed to god knows what sort of poisons.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 08:05 AM) Heyman Tweets (Twats?) that JR is now involved in the negotiations with Damon lets hope this doesnt turn out similar to when JR got his nose in the Doug Collins coaching fiasco This is the guy who signs the checks. To me this is ideal because it cuts out the middle man, and most likely puts an endgame in sight for this mess.

If you could have 1 player back
QUOTE (SoxAce @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 12:20 AM) Jeremy Reed.. :wub: Oh.. nevermind.. 5 years. WILLIE HARRIS, Sweeney, B-Mac, Swisher, or Chris Carter. Brandon is going to be in a dogfight for the fifth spot in Texas. I wonder what Texas would want to give him up?

Healthcare reform
QUOTE (Y2HH @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 09:16 AM) Because the feds haven't had a chance yet. And before you try to say how wonderful medicare is, it's not. So just don't. Same goes for the VA. Just don't go there, because it'd show you have no clue what you're talking about. I can go there in two words. Agent. Orange. Talk about the mother of all pre-existing conditions.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Feb 16, 2010 -> 09:52 PM) Chris Mannix of SI is reporting the Rockets and Knicks are finalizing a deal that would send Jordan Hill, Larry Hughes and Jared Jeffries to Houston for Tracy McGrady, with the teams swapping 1st rounders in 2011 and the Rockets getting the Knicks 2012 1st. The only hold-up right now is both teams efforts to protect the pick. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/bask...rady/index.html That is a great deal for Houston.

LOST!!!!
QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 12:45 AM) Hmmmmm, could this be the order these characters get killed off this season??? Locke is already dead.... and 2 seasons ago Sun had a flashforward where she was at Jin's grave. The date on the tomb was the date of the plane crash. I think that is what it was from.

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Feb 16, 2010 -> 09:19 PM) Their stats are pretty close. I think Tyrus has had the better season narrowly. Why? Because he isn't basketball stupid. He knows he is a role player and goes out and does his job. AKA he doesn't hurt his team.
