YOLMER'S GATORADE BATH YESTERDAY WAS PROPHETIC

I'm glad that there were some internal Lakers people with the same thoughts as everyone else. And this amazing excerpt on LeGM Like, does he want Silver to fire a coach?

Nice.

He checks the cool name box for the White Sox.

The 2005 team was the ultimate lightning in a bottle. You need stars. Machado's defense, power, and OBP from third base would have kept Moncada at second. We aren't worrying about Madrigal's less-than-amazing (but end of the world like some people make it out to be) performance if we have Machado here.

2012 Robin is the most confounding thing looking back.

Greg every time a free agent signs a big deal, you call it a dumb waste of resources.* *Usually you aren't wrong on the mega-deals as they aren't for a players' prime. That's why Machado and Harper hurt so bad when they whiffed on them.

And? That makes you the ultimate judge of baseball talent...for a guy projected to be a backup catcher?

Man, it was one game.

To be fair, he couldn't change Harper2Sox without administrator help. That is not on him.

Reddit just held it's Mock Draft, and their Bulls GM walked out like bandit. It's always fun to see stuff like this. https://old.reddit.com/r/NBA_Draft/comments/bta1ru/official_sub_mock_draft_results/ Trade #1: Hawks get Mozgov, Pick #17 / Magic get Antonio Blakeney / Bulls get Taurean Prince, Evan Fournier, Pick #41, Pick #46, Orlando 2020 2nd, Orlando 2021 2nd Trade #2: Bulls get Evan Turner, Pick #25 / Trail Blazers get Evan Fournier Trade #3: Bulls get Pick #33 / Celtics get Pick #38, Pick #46 Then they drafted: #7 - Culver #25 - Gafford #33 - Grant Williams #41 - Shamorie Ponds If only 2nd rounders meant anything other than $$$ to the Bulls.

Nah. Get the young blood up and see what they can do. Embrace the tank is just sticking course with Covey, Nova, Alonso and company.

Raptors having home court advantage will be huge for them to take the series.

Here we go boys.

-2.8 years younger than league average according to Baseball Reference. And it's in Regions. Just imagine him in Charlotte with the juiced ball.

Damnit

He could also get injured and be back to signing league $2.5M contracts in two years. This could be an aberration season. Also, extensions are the one thing that Hahn has been stellar at.

Listen to Garfein's interview with him. He makes his own scouting reports while they're on the plane/bus for the batters. He also worked with Gio on his composure. Dude's work with pitchers has been just as valuable as his bat.

Well that's a self own.

You mention this like every fifth post.

I just keep thinking about how well LaVine - Porter - Markkanen played with Arci on the floor, then realize that Brogdon is basically MegaArci. It's a lot of money now, but the cap keeps going up + Porter and Felicio will be gone in two years, so Lauri will be taken care of then.

The point would be after the draft.

I imagine signing both of them for the rest of the season would cost a lot more than that, just to outbid the other contenders.

But actually though. How much would it take to get him on a 1-year deal over the other bidders?

I can't believe we split a series in Houston. More importantly, get Gio and Lopez some help in the rotation (via FA or call ups, NOT TRADE).
