Stephen A. Smith's rant about Melo needing to demand a trade was awesome. Here's hoping the Knicks get desperate and the Bulls somehow pull of a trade without giving up Jimmy, Taj, Mirotic, or Noah.

Talked with some of my KU friends, they hate it as well, but they're the blue dot. Federal government can step in somehow, correct?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 13, 2014 -> 11:24 PM) Our state leaders just passed a law saying businesses can turn down gays for service (restaurants, movie theatres, gas stations, wherever) because of religious objections. If you are a business owner and object to gays for religious reasons you can refuse to serve them. Is this godawful state the only one with such a law? Finally, this state's governor turned down all that free money from the government regarding medicare for some reason that angers me to no end. My question to you is: Is Kansas the worst state in the union? Is Kansas a joke? What do you think of my first paragraph? WTF KANSAS

I've seen a lot of analysts say he'd go Top 5 in this draft... Also, Noah's play is f***ing unreal right now.

Boheim says that he would tell Melo to leave. Really, of places Melo would consider it's LA or Chicago. Bulls have a much brighter future than LA, especially if they end up having a trade.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 13, 2014 -> 05:58 AM) Gosh I wonder what that must be like to have to deal with. I believe it would be absolutely awful.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 12, 2014 -> 05:20 PM) Thanks, guys. You're all tops in my book. Now, if I want to transfer the music from my iPod to the new computer, is there a free way to do that? The last time I did this, I used Xilisoft and it came with a fee. It's a pain in the ass, but yes. Go to the Control Panel settings and make sure "Show hidden folders" is checked. Plug in iPod. Find the music folder. In it will be a lot of folders titled F01, F02, F03 and so on and so forth. Copy ALL of those files to your PC. Then, drag the mass of folders to iTunes. Boom. Done.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Feb 12, 2014 -> 08:40 PM) Shut up about Ervin Santana. +1-

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 12, 2014 -> 05:47 PM) Contraditions aside, name any players out there who are worth say 14 million dollars a year over three, four or five years? How many more of these contracts are we going to see when after one year of the multi year deal teams are clamoring to get rid of said players? And yes, as long as teams are paying out the wazoo, I figure my team might as well get in on the fray. Now would I prefer all teams to stop this nonsense en masse? Of course. As far as Mark, if you've got to pay somebody exorbitant money, it might as well be him because I stand by my statement he's a player and he's a coach. He's a GREAT EXAMPLE for all young pitchers and might teach them a thing or two about avoiding the DL (Sale? Nate?). Alternatively, we can save that money and you know, have Coop and Herm work with Sale and Nate...who have both been just fine.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Feb 12, 2014 -> 06:08 PM) Eaton is a young player and hopefully will have a great spring and take the CF/leadoff spot. But his play in Arizona is equivalent to a 4th outfielder. He hit .250, was not a good basesealer and showed limited range in CF for the 300+ games he played. Now some of that may have been injury related but he has a lot to prove before he is a regular. Let me rephrase this: Having De Aza as a starter going into the year is stupid and against EVERYTHING THE WHITE SOX ARE DOING.

Does this mean there will be no captains in baseball after 2014?

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Feb 12, 2014 -> 11:51 AM) It's so funny to see you say that contracts over $10 million per are bad contracts, but then also post that we should trade for Buehrle who is set to make $37 million over the next two years. Contradict yourself much? +1

I think 7th worst is a stretch.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Feb 12, 2014 -> 08:14 AM) DeAza plays LF and leads off. Hits .300, steals 30 bases , hits 25 HR and drives in 75 runs. Hahn then trades Viciedo mid-season for a young catcher. Viciedo's value will be 0 in this case. You can keep De Aza as the fourth OF then trade Viciedo if he's mashing for someone like Yasmani Grandal and then play De Aza, but you may wish to hold on to Dayan in that instance. Also, De Aza wouldn't leadoff at this point. That's Eaton's job to lose. In this hypothetical... Eaton - CF - L Alexei - SS - R Dunn - DH - L Abreu - 1B - R Garcia - RF - R De Aza - LF - L Grandal - C - S 3B - Davidson/Gillespie/Keppinger - R/L/R 2B - Gordon - R

QUOTE (hi8is @ Feb 12, 2014 -> 02:14 AM) I had no idea Jacob May was related to Carlos Lee. Interesting. You're thinking Carlos May.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Feb 11, 2014 -> 10:02 PM) Because you guys still aren't listening! You know you love it. Watch him sign here, it's gonna be awesome. Ervin Santana is hot garbage in that he's garbage that can have a good year because he's basically a rollercoaster that would get annihilated in The Cell.

WHY ARE WE STILL TALKING ABOUT ERVIN f***ING SANTANA

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 11, 2014 -> 08:38 PM) That sucks. Brother Quinarvy, come over to my crib for some beer and nachos. Give me a couple hours and deal.

NBA League Pass is blocking me from watching Bulls games, telling me to go to CSN Chicago. I live in Missouri.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 11, 2014 -> 03:21 PM) I still hope there will be some way they can restructure it to keep him, because if they do lose him that's yet another gaping hole on the defense and 9.8 mil isn't all that much with the sheer number of holes they have. This, I'm hoping for a restructuring of his deal more over cutting him.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 11, 2014 -> 01:00 PM) The Sox former manager called Jay Mariotti by a homophobic slur too. It was good for the team cause it wasn't boring!

The reason the Knicks would do it is because they traded a s*** ton of picks the past few years and a Bobcats pick, Sac pick, Cleveland swap, and something else can seem very, very appealing.

Jose Abreu will be the breakout player when he wins MVP batting .400/.600/1.422

Apparently Bulls and Knicks talking about Melo deal. The rumored deal at RealGM was Boozer, Kirk, Butler, 3 1sts, Snell for Melo, Felton, Shumpert. Take out Shumpert/Butler swap and you got a deal. Otherwise, only 2 firsts.

Spring Training can't get here soon enough.
