The Hawks have apparently re-signed Bickell and Hendry.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 20, 2010 -> 01:36 PM) after the All-Star break he has a career OPS of .906? Can we really expect him to produce the same outside of Atlanta and Pittsburgh and Arizona? But yes, that .906 2nd half OPS is nice.

Sale just got his 1st taste of failure. Gave up a 2-run HR with 2 outs to Lousiville. He faced 4 batters. Gave up a HR, and struck out Drew Sutton and Yonder Alonso. 2 2/3 IP, 6 K, 1 BB in AAA

Can someone explain to me why people like Adam LaRoche so much?

Man, I wonder if there was any way possible to get Xavier Henry from Memphis. Or what the price is for Rudy Fernandez.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jul 19, 2010 -> 11:41 PM) What free agent C's are out there? Shaq? Kwame Brown? Kurt Thomas? Either of the 3 would be solid additions pending the price. Though I think Asik will be a solid addition.

Looks like the Bulls still have about 4.4 million remaining under the cap.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jul 19, 2010 -> 10:34 PM) Very nice pickup for the Bulls, would have been nice if we could of gotten Morrow or Reddick at SG as well but we should have a pretty solid team just have to hope one of the big 3 in Miami go down. I think we have a very good shot of being the 2nd seed in the East if things go well. Rose/Watson Brewer/Korver Deng/Johnson Boozer/Gibson Noah/Asik If nothing else, it should be one of the best benches in the league.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jul 19, 2010 -> 10:23 PM) Hard to say how he is as a 3 pt shooter. He was bad this year and had a good year last year. Not enough to go on yet. It's hard to tell with any player coming from Golden State but Watson is a good shooter. He was good in college. Up and down in the NBA, but he's pretty streaky.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 19, 2010 -> 09:40 PM) Isn't he a D-League guy who had a couple of good games? I don't know much about him. He's a D-League success story but he's been a contributer for the Warriors for the past 2 seasons now. Very solid player. He'll be a hell of a backup. He's still only 26 and had quite a few good stretches in Golden State. Had a 40 point night against the Kings last year as well. He's a good but not great 3 point shooter, quick and strong for his size.

Also, Matt Barnes close to a deal with the Raptors. http://twitter.com/PDcavsinsider/status/18955106073

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 19, 2010 -> 07:29 PM) Hoopsworld has CJ Watson going to the Bulls. As always with hoopsworld take it with a grain of salt. Nice move if true. Thats fantastic. His twitter account an hour ago also said "So excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I'm at 230 right now. Goal 1: 220 by July 31 Long-term goal: Maintain a lean 205

Ronnie Brewer press conference should be starting soon. Will be live on CSN.

Ronnie Brewer press conference at 2:30 PM CT.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jul 19, 2010 -> 04:58 AM) Well first, I totally disagree with you on the LeBron to Chicago thing.. if he would have said the Bulls at The Decision everyone would be celebrating and getting their LeBron jerseys pre-ordered.. Secondly, I was just throwing out a low number.. its more like a handful of people than 5.. but that's the beauty of living, I can like and think whatever I want and it doesn't matter what anyone thinks or says about it.. golf isn't a sport, its a leisure activity that senior citizens and fat out of shape people can play at the highest level.. soccer is boring as hell and is for poor countries and little children with no skills to play the other sports yet.. it doesn't matter if no one agrees with me, ill always stand by what i believe.. I like you Carl.

QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ Jul 19, 2010 -> 12:27 AM) Inception was super cool, but didn't really do it for me. Of course I'll give it a second viewing as well at some point. Still that's a little harsh, it's still a special flick 8/10.

We need a left handed bat, preferably one who could play the OF.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 12:49 PM) Headed to see Inception. Haven't been this excited to see a movie in theaters since The Dark Knight. f***ing fantastic.

Queen.

Headed to see Inception. Haven't been this excited to see a movie in theaters since The Dark Knight.

Episode 1 teaser: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_...opic_id=7417714 Having been in the clubhouse and seeing some of it 1st hand, I'm excited to see how they TV-ize it.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 02:07 PM) I don't think the Bulls can trade first round picks in back to back years, can they? Well technically they own the Bobcats' 1st for next year, so dealing their 2012 pick would work.

Apparently Portland was asking for Gallinari in return for Fernandez from the Knicks.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 01:42 PM) Would Memphis take a #1 next year for Henry? Probably not. It'd probably have to be CHA 1st next yr and a future Bulls 1st. And with as young as our core is, that's probably a price I'd pay. Henry is a great fit.
