The Bears should be pretty beastly to play with this year in Madden 15. Marshall's a 96 and Forte is a 95. Both higher than what they had been in previous years. Add in Jeffery (probably high 80s or low 90s) and Bennett (mid 80s) and that's one hell of an offense.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 25, 2014 -> 11:34 AM) RUMOR Bulls receive: Kevin Martin, Tristan Thompson, Dion Waiters Cavs receive: Kevin Love, Mike Dunleavey Jr, Gorgui Dieng Timberwolves receive: Andrew Wiggins, John Lucas III, Erik Murphy, Taj Gibson, Tony Snell That's terrible.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 09:53 PM) Atletico got raided this offseason. They won't be much of a contender. Yup, Costa and Courtois are both gone.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 02:02 PM) Mariners acquire Kendry Morales for Stephen Pryor. Confusing Umm...why didn't they just sign him when he was a free agent for half the season?

Can we please start hitting Gillaspie second? Having Beckham hit there is painful.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 01:38 PM) They aren't even the biggest cock tease in Chicago as long as the Cubs are still around Delusional people deserve it.

Boy the Bulls are so good at getting fans excited and then not delivering. Bulls fans have more collective blue balls than any other NBA fan base. Although in this case, not delivering wouldn't be a huge issue for me. I'm content with the team as is. Getting Love is icing on the cake. Very rarely have the Bulls' FO been in a situation like this.

Cowley is a debbie downer on everything. The fact that he now believes this is a possibility probably means that it's a possibility.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 11:15 AM) Depends if you think athleticism as a wing is the only path to being a superstar. He could easily be an also ran with that same talent if the other aspects dont develop. Bunch of question marks in this deal as far as I am concerned, and I have NO idea how Bennett all of a sudden became valuable. I feel like Wiggins is going to be a very inefficient player his first few years. His jump shot is far too inconsistent. Playing with LeBron will help a lot, but if you put him on the T'Wolves, I don't think anybody should be expecting much in terms of efficiency. LeBron and KD both hovered around the .500 mark in terms of TS% their first year, so there's definitely an adjustment period, even for elite talent.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 11:01 AM) If you did this with Sox fans, they'd be b****ing about how the fake players weren't any good Pretty much lol. Although the fact that people like bulls***ting about things they don't know about is always funny.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 11:11 AM) So basically, no matter what comes out of the KLove situation, at this point the Bulls are securing some type of win. Yeah, something you don't see much of in Bulls' off-seasons. If we get him, great. If Cleveland pays handsomely, good. If Golden State gets him, even better. It's more or less a win-win.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 11:03 AM) Not only that, they'd be sending him to Minnesota (barf) At least he can play with Rubio.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 10:09 AM) One that unfortunately falls well short of Wiggins. But I'm down for another hype train. Choo choo! IDK, does it? Mirotic could have been a top 5 pick this year. McDermott was the #11 and Taj is one of the better defensive players in the league. That's a lot of quantity over quality, but it just might be enough quantity to outweigh whatever promise Wiggins has.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 04:42 PM) Cowley tweeting: "Bulls/Love rumors include Ozzie Guillén being sent to Minn as part of the deal. Guillén family is not happy. And, Don Cooper sucks"

Real is stacked beyond belief. Ronaldo, Bale, James, Di Maria, Benzema. Something's gotta give. They can't play 5 attacking players.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 04:32 PM) Dang, so for as bad as Gasol is defensively, he averaged 1.5 blocks/gm last year in limited minutes, Boozer had .3. That's the benefit of the added height even if defensively he's lost a step. Gasol stuffed Boozer like 3 times last year when the Bulls played the Lakers at the UC.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 03:56 PM) That's because no org. is going to want to give up value for a #3 starter who is pitching like a #5. They want to buy low on him. You are being far too shortsighted if you think the start you saw a couple days ago is who Danks really is. If anything, I just think the Astros have Danks' number. He's been decent outside of the starts against Houston.

I think Shields having somewhat of a down year brings his price down a bit. Getting rid of Danks would allow us to be in the sweepstakes for him.

Depends on your definition of good.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 01:27 PM) Have they signed Dougie McD to a contract yet? I don't know if Mirotic can be traded so soon, could be wrong. I don't know that I would trade Taj, Butler, McDermott, and Mirotic. That would be a pretty steap price and would leave us with very little depth. And I would think you'd at the very least have to include Taj / Butler and one of Mirotic / McDermott. McDermott hasn't been signed yet. I don't think Bairstow has been either.

QUOTE (peavy44 @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 01:26 PM) we in wildcard race and we just going wave the white flag just not right This team has no real shot of winning a wild card spot.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 01:09 PM) Yeah, this reeks of "Chicago is trying to put pressure on Cleveland. And I'm fine with that. To be honest, I'm not sure I'd want to give up half of our team for Kevin Love, especially after we more or less solidified our front court. If anything, I just want Kevin Martin for the right price.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 20, 2014 -> 10:46 AM) Pitcher pissed about 2-out bunt against shift w/ 2-run lead, calls it breach of etiquette Seriously...? I swear, baseball players get offended over the stupidest crap these days. Colby Lewis = sore loser.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 01:00 PM) It seems at this point that Klay Thompson has never been formally offered to the TWolves. I think I read that Steph Curry didn't like trading both Lee and Thompson for Love. Lee and Barnes seems a bit more fair.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 12:47 PM) Taj, Butler and picks. Better than Wiggins and scrap? Not better than Lee and Thompson.
