Matt Spiegel and Jason Goff brought up an excellent point about this whole thing. Wade has been the biggest detractor in the league about the Bulls "organization". He was one of the guys leading the charge about how they are disloyal because of how they "treated" Michael Jordan and how everything went down in 99. It's a stigma that has faced the Bulls in acquiring free agents. Wade isn't what he used to be but having him as an ally now is beneficial. If the $47 million is the cost to make Chicago a relevant destination again than it's money well spent.

That video is one of the worst things I've ever seen. He told the officer that he was carrying, the officer asked to see his license. He reached for it and the cop murdered him with a 4 year old in the back seat. Unreal. Black people are disproportionately getting killed by police and cops aren't really getting punished for it. Police can target and kill with impunity in this country and that should frighten the s*** out of everyone. 1146 Americans were killed by police in 2015. 561 so far in 2016. 100 times more Americans were killed by police in the US than by ISIS. This is a problem.

He did say that he wouldn't necessarily trade him though. He mentioned Moncada and Benintendi.

Rodon has poor command. That's the issue. He has a devastating wipeout slider but if he's behind in the count, he can't throw it. This is technically year 1 of control for Rodon. The White Sox have him for 5 more seasons after this one and he becomes a fee agent after 2021 at age 28. He's a mid rotation starter that spent no time in the minors and he has TOR starter upside. People expected too much too soon, myself included.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 10:06 AM) IMO it's clear as day. He's using these teams for leverage with Miami. I'd be stunned if he left. Then again, I said I'd be stunned if Durant left OKC. I don't know how Miami comes up with the $$ though. They don't have it.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 07:23 AM) The affirmative decision to rush up Rodon and his stunted development as a #4 is another feather in Hahn's cap ( Cooper's as well). Cooper's continued status as whitesox deity another issue as well. You really need to stop with this. You either have Rodon under these circumstances or you probably have Aaron Nola instead. Him coming quickly was part of his agreeing to sign for $6.8 million. I've been over this before though.

Is there any chance that they think Wade gives them the best chance at landing another max player next summer?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 06:05 AM) Caulfield stop trying to force the opening of trade winds. Jason usually opens the forum a week before the deadline I actually agree with Caulfield here. I don't see the downside in having it open. Not like rumors just start right before the deadline.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 6, 2016 -> 08:41 AM) I see us signing him and losing to Cleveland in the 2nd round and accomplishing nothing for our future. Ugh Do they think that Wade can still attract another max player next summer?

Bulls apparently meeting with Wade tomorrow

QUOTE (kingranch @ Jul 5, 2016 -> 02:17 PM) Just saw Burdi was promoted to AA. Surprised they moved him up so fast considering he wasn't shutting down Hi-A hitters You'll be even more surprised when he's on the White Sox in 2 weeks then.

Jeff Dickerson was just talking about how Rajon Rondo used to park in Rick Carlisle's parking space in Dallas. He was joking about Hoiberg coming in to work and Rondo being seated at his desk. I can't wait for this. Bulls should sign Lance Stephenson too.

I get the feeling that bmags doesn't like Rajon Rondo

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jul 5, 2016 -> 08:32 AM) They don't land big fish, but in this league they have to try. Agree with this. You still have to preserve the space and try. It beats the alternative of giving rotation players $50 million. It's the only choice they have.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 5, 2016 -> 09:31 AM) I would have preferred if Durant had gone elsewhere, but the irony of OKC fans whining about having a player of theirs "stolen" has been so awesome. Westbrook is going to leave after next year and that franchise will go into the s***ter. No marquee free agent is going to choose to go live and play in Oklahoma City. It may be petty, but who cares. As a Sonics fan who has never forgiven the league for what they did to Seattle, watching OKC fall into the flames is the next best thing to actually getting a team back. I bet it is. Those people didn't do anything though. It's not the fault of people who live in Oklahoma that Clay Bennett brought them a basketball team. Now, burning jerseys is dumb as hell but Kevin Durant basically just ended their franchise.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 4, 2016 -> 05:35 PM) He won't get much back. He's a FA next summer. What would a non-retarded team give up for 3 months of WB? Not even three months. More like 2 and the playoffs. They don't have a choice but to get something. Lakers wouldn't give up some young players for the chance at keeping him?

I would think that the Thunder will trade Westbrook by February's deadline. There's no way that Sam Presti is going to let both guys leave for nothing.

White Sox lineup 1. Anderson SS 2. Eaton CF 3. Abreu 1B 4. Frazier 3B 5. Cabrera LF 6. Lawrie 2B 7. Navarro C 8. Garcia DH 9. Coats RF

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 07:50 PM) This season of Orange is the New Black was the best IMO. Completely Agree. It was a great season.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jul 4, 2016 -> 06:44 AM) So with only 20 teams eligible to compete for the pedigree talent in the top 30 list this year, the Chicago White Sox were unable to sign anyone of those 30 players? Not one? With no competition from the likes of the Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox, Angels, Cubs and the Giants this year, the Sox still walked away with none of the premium talent available? I mean, that's insane. It's almost bordering on reckless negligence from this increasingly obvious incompetent front office. The Sox continue to display an unwillingness/inability to compete for premium talent, be it either in the international market, or free agent market, as we painfully witnessed last offseason. It would be one thing if that approach somehow managed to render sustainable winning results for the Major League ball club. It hasn't as we all know, not by a long shot. Unless there is a seismic shift in this losing strategy at some point, the brand of baseball we've witnessed for the past decade on the South Side will continue to repeat itself over and over and over again. Focusing on a top 30 list is an exercise in futility though. We have no idea if that top list is actually the top 30 players. They really like Josue Guerrero and gave him $1.1 million. That's more than some guys in the top 30 received.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 3, 2016 -> 11:02 PM) Who thinks the Celtics are actually going to be better than the Cavs in the East? That's really pushing it. Anyone heard exactly when Durant will announce? Supposed to be Sunday night/Monday morning....any rumors? Warriors? OKC? I'd be stunned if it's not OKC

I didn't know there was so much hatred for Rondo. People on twitter were like furious over the signing. It doesn't really matter but the Bulls got better at C and PG and this deal doesn't really hurt them next summer. What did people think they were going to do? Should they have given Tyler Johnson $50 million? I mean for christ sakes.

I would love if they could trade for Josh Reddick. Play him in RF and move Eaton to CF. Ajax as 4th OF and Morneau DH. This team would be much better vs RHP.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 3, 2016 -> 08:36 AM) Didn't realize Moore signed elsewhere for a reasonable deal. Bulls moving every enjoyable piece of their franchise. Financial champions. They didn't want to go 4 years and I don't blame them.
