Bulls agree to 1 year deal with Vladimir Radmanovic, per David Kaplan.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 06:39 PM) Asik > Darko but Darko and cap flexibility > Asik and his contract. Exactly.

Youk is such a stud.

There is very little talent on the Bulls summer league team. Teague and Butler is pretty much it, and Leon Powe trying to work his way back into the league. Butler has looked really impressive on both ends. Teague has struggled. Yesterday it was shooting, today it's turnovers.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 03:59 PM) Slavbot says: He is from Serbia, your argument is invalid. I'm saying he can give you similar value for a fraction of the cost. He's better offensively and still good defensively.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 02:30 PM) Bleh, Darko Milicic sucks balls. How is his offense better if his TS% is lower than Asiks? Darko has only gotten above 50% TS% once in his career. And he's played 6 damn years already... He'd also come at about 10% of the cost of Asik.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 02:25 PM) Did anyone watch the Bulls summer league vs the Celtics? Teague looked real bad, Jimmy Butler looked good. Was the only one who looked good. He's gonna be a good bench player for us. Teague's shot was off all game, he made some pretty nifty passes though. Jimmy did look real good.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 02:07 PM) The problem is that Darko's defense isn't as good as Asik's and his offense is more or less the same. Darko is world's better offensively than Asik. He can actually catch a ball, for starters.

Bulls interested in Darko Milicic. Decline Asik, sign Darko. Save.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 01:11 PM) We should have won it last year, if it wasn't for Kyle Williams. Not this s*** again.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 17, 2012 -> 10:32 PM) That puppy will get you women. Hell yeah.

Hell yeah.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 17, 2012 -> 07:57 PM) Color looks like German Shepherd to me. We've all but eliminated German Shepherd because the ears never stand up and their snouts are usually black/dark, and his isn't. Then again, if it's a German Shephed and something else mix, it could be a possibility. We think there might be some border collie mix in there too. So maybe a Golden Retriever mother and a Border Collie/German Shepherd father?

This is my new pup. He's 8 weeks old. We know that his mom was a purebred golden retriever. Do you guys have any idea what kid of mixture he is? His tail is about a foot long, skinny and black with a white tip.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 9, 2012 -> 12:38 AM) Yeah that was one measly game. Given a large enough sample size and starter minutes, I'm sure Hinrich can manage a once-in-a-lifetime 30 point effort too. Have you ever actually watched CJ Watson play? This is a serious question. Hinrich's never done this:

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 11:11 PM) Kirky can do the same thing, and much more. Kirks FAAAR better playoff performance history is reason alone to prefer him over C.J., who's been nothing but a playoff choker. Kirk Hinrich can't explode for 30-40 on any given night.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 11:01 PM) My wife wants to get a 3 month old female runt. Some kind of terrier mix, all black. It looks like I'll be getting a purebred yellow lab this week. 8 months old, already 80 pounds.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 09:58 PM) I don't remember CJ being electric on offense, ever. All he can do is hit the occasional 3. He can't do anything else. Well occasionally he can hit 3 or 4 occasional 3's in a row. He's a hell of a backup.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 10:19 PM) Murray's first serve is pretty inconsistent which puts him at a disadvantage from the start. I wouldnt say Id pick Murray to out-rally any of the top 3 on a consistent basis either. Just not going to win a lot of majors with a 56% 1st serve rate, especially as Murray's second serve was almost always a predictable kick serve (I dont even recall a slice). Murray really needs to become more consistent on his first serve and long rallies. I didn't get a chance to watch today, but Murray is far better in long rallies than Federer, and he's quick enough and good enough defensively to hang with Nadal and Nole in long rallies. IMO, he's real weakness is the apprehensiveness on ground strokes. He can open it up with the best of them on occasion, but he's too predictable. No backhand down the line. His serve in inconsistent, but he also has the ability to ramp it up a notch when he needs it. I don't know how many times I've seen him dig out of a 0-40 hole with a few great serves in a row. He's made it to 4 Grand Slam finals. At this point, it's more mental with him than anything. He just needs a bit of luck to get over the hump. He absolutely DISMANTLED Djokovic in the final in Dubai earlier this year. It's in him, he just can't put it all together in 5 sets. He was close against Djokovic in the AO semi this year too.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 06:03 PM) Ayon's actually an ok center (on a fantasy team). As for the Hornets, that roster is starting to take some shape. Fixed. Anywho, not thrilled with Hinrich, but it's better than nothing. In a way, he's similar to Watson, but better defensively. Not as electric on offense, but as long as he can stay healthy, he's a welcomed addition at a low cost. He'll hit the open 3's, play great defense, and be a good leader. And with how well the Bulls move the ball anyway, he doesn't have to be a "true" point guard. And you have to think that between Rose and Hinrich, Marquis Teague has two damn good mentors.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 12:31 PM) Nadal probably doesn't have much longer on any surface outside of clay either. I'd give him 2 more years before Murray is clear 2nd best on all other surfaces unless a new person emerges. QUOTE (danman31 @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 12:51 PM) That's the thing though. A new person usually does emerge. Murray will remain in the top tier for at least a few more years, but he's probably going to need an upset like Nadal at Wimbledon this year to get a good chance. I can see Murray eventually losing form after repeatedly failing to win a Grand Slam. He's good enough defensively and has a good serve, so he'll stick around the top 10 as long as he stays healthy. But if someone does emerge, I hope it's Tsonga. Not that he would surprise anyone or "come out of nowhere" but he's pretty much the best of that second tier of players along with Ferrer, Berdych, Del Potro, etc. I love watching him play and his exuberance is always welcomed on the court. If Raonic can develop his ground strokes some, he could be the next big riser. Federer is back to #1 in the world, but the good news for Djokovic is that he doesn't have many points to defend after the US Open, while Federer does. So there's a good chance that Djokovic can finish the year at #1 again. I can't wait for the Olympics and then the US Open.

f*** yes Paulie!

That fly ball scared the hell out of me.

I'd bet Kenny would do something like 6 million in year one with a 4 million dollar team option for year 2.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 6, 2012 -> 12:13 PM) New Gambino mixtape "Royalty" came out. It's pretty decent. Some really good songs, some really average songs. I like it a lot, overall. Very smooth and consistent. Surprised how many features it had.
