I can now say I've been a lab partner with an NBA player. That's neat. Now, to boo him because he's on the Pistons.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 10:00 PM) Butler may as well be a rookie, its not like he played big minutes last year. As far as I'm concerned, we have two rookies on our roster right now. Except...he's not. He played last year. He's spent a year practicing with Thibs. He defended well against good players last year when he was in. He got to the line at a nice rate.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 09:56 PM) Once again, I'm not an NBA fan but I do watch some on a boring fall/winter night when there's no NHL, NCAA or NFL, but if the Bulls are going to be without Deng until November, Rose until March, and depending on Butler for big minutes, they might have a chance at a top 8 pick next June. No chance.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 09:54 PM) There's just no way Rose can guard the best SG's in the nba, I don't care how good his vertical is. Guys will just be pump faking in his face daring him to jump. The second rookie is Jimmy Butler, who Bulls fan assume will take over the Ronnie Brewer role this upcoming year Jimmy Butler isn't a rookie. He also looked fine in his minutes last year.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 09:38 PM) Rose ain't guarding the good SG's in the NBA, he's not tall enough... They'd just shoot right over him. His vertical (yes, I think he'll still have that vertical) and wingspan let him do that. He averages the same amount of blocks as LeBron. QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 09:45 PM) He's only 19, which I love. He's quick, athletic and a ball handler which we sorely needed, which I also love. But now we have two rookies who need playing time and development time on our squad. Thibs isn't known for playing rookies much. Who's the second?

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 09:34 PM) We'd have a small back court if Teague and D.Rose were on the court at the same time...he's only 6'2" I heard Barton or Lamb would have been better picks Rose has the skills to guard SGs. But another thing: Teague could be a very poor version of Rose. That means we can run similar sets.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 09:30 PM) An inefficient point guard? Bleh... If Teague develops, you go with a 2 PG offense or just ship him out for draft picks. I take this all day every day over Tyshawn Taylor. Now, trade Watson/Brewer for 2nd rounders. Still some talent to be had (Miller would be amazing)

Love this pick. The good SGs all got taken.

I love this pick. Should be able to trade Watson/Brewer/Korver for 2nd rounders or retain them.

That scared me for a minute.

Poor Dan Johnson. He'd be so much better up here.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 02:46 PM) Listen. I'm not going to make this warning more then once. If people want to talk at TalkBulls they can, if they don't, they don't have to. This thread is open for discussion of all NBA related things (Bulls or Non Bulls). Anymore discussion or this self moderation, everyone go here, needs to be cut-out. Soxtalk is what it is and it has great sports discussion (not just baseball). If people want to talk about the Bulls in this thread, then they are 100% entitled to do so (and no one should tell them otherwise). I think Jason was hacked guys. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 05:45 PM) The cap makes it so much more difficult in that league. Plus 1/2 the size rosters mean fewer players can be dealt in the first place. And no real minor league system.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 05:33 PM) With a week to go in a long lost season? Negotiating with the total approval of his current team that didn't want him? KW prolly held a party praying Ozzie would negotiate with the Marlins. I have the ultimate defense: A world series title. Case closed. There were leaks that he was negotiating with the Marlins in July. And World Series title means he can f*** over the team? Cool.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 04:40 PM) Dan Johnson is more deserving. He is a lefty with MLB experience.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 04:37 PM) The only reason I'm commenting on "Someone stupid said something stupid" here is....he's also the next likely governor of Indiana. And then we have a fourth contender for dumbest state.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 04:24 PM) Mike Pence (R-IN) likens health care ruling to 9/11: 6/28/12 2:28 PM EDT In a closed door House GOP meeting Thursday, Indiana congressman and gubernatorial candidate Mike Pence likened the Supreme Court's ruling upholding the Democratic health care law to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, according to several sources present." Ladies and Gentleman, we have our Idiot of the Year.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 02:02 PM) Probably. No. Yes.

I remember when we got him someone, I think NorthSideSox, said he sounded like a Roman emperor. The Emperor, The Roman, The Conqueror, etc. would all work. Could go with a deity ala Quetzlcoatl. I just say this so we avoid the "It's Leyson SepTIME" or some horrible, horrible pun.

Since I missed the Adam Sandler discussion: Click was a lie. Good movie, but it was supposed to be funny and was incredibly sad. Reign Over Me is one of my favorite movies. Not a comedy, but it's a powerful movie.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 01:27 AM) Put my 25 in.

QUOTE (rowand's rowdies @ Jun 27, 2012 -> 06:05 PM) Hudson is going to need tommy john, and was completely useless this year. this trade wasnt as bad as we thought...

What ever happened to Infante? I remember he looked good in his brief appearances, then nothing. If he has that 100 MPH fastball still, I wouldn't be opposed to him.

QUOTE (thomas_35 @ Jun 27, 2012 -> 04:14 PM) First baseman Justin Morneau, now 7 for 73 against left-handers this season with 22 strikeouts, talked his way into the lineup by telling manager Ron Gardenhire before the game he wanted "a piece of this kid," but a seventh-inning single was the only dent he put on yet another stellar performance by the lefty Sale. for a guy hitting .229 that's laughable. oh how the once mighty have fallen.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 27, 2012 -> 04:12 PM) I have no recollection of this alleged event in question. Like greg said, we have hackers in the vicinity of this board. Even if you find something that implicates me, it was the hacker. Not me. That wiley hacker is up to no good.
