Butler injured in the final seconds

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Nov 20, 2015 -> 11:50 PM) Disagreed. I said it in the offseason. When Pax fired Thibs, and didn't get any new players to improve this squad, that let me know that Paxson thought this roster was good enough to win it all and it was the coach's fault they weren't getting it done. Today, even at 100%, they still don't have enough. We haven't seen this roster at 100% under the new system. You can't possibly make that judgment yet.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Nov 20, 2015 -> 11:44 PM) We just don't have enough offense With Rose/Dunleavy, we'd look better offensively.

Chicago giving them a run for their money. Forget about the 95-96 Bulls vs the 15-16 Warriors. 15-16 Bulls > 15-16 Warriors?

Floated a Quintana for Schwarber proposal out to two Cubs fans today. Both said we'd have to include "much more".

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Nov 20, 2015 -> 08:30 PM) Can I ask what the hype over Puig is about? I'm honestly not seeing it or why some fans are seemingly eager to trade Q for him. What am I missing? "potential"

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 20, 2015 -> 10:11 PM) Snell is simply awful. Hot and cold. Lately, all cold.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Nov 20, 2015 -> 04:07 PM) Nostalgia should be officially classified as a disease. These Warriors would smoke those 90's teams. Actually, the Hakeem Rockets would match-up better. Hakeem could protect the rim all by himself. He was athletic enough to guard pick n rolls, switch, guard shooting bigs, etc The league has become soft. The Bulls' offense would dominate this era's defense.

The Kristaps Porzingis hype is annoying me. I heard all this talk about how he's probably an all-star this year. I looked at his numbers and they're not even that good.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Nov 20, 2015 -> 10:30 AM) They're better than the 90's Bulls. The 3-pointer puts them at another level. Could you imagine if they played with a reduced line like the bulls did for a few of those years? G.A.M.E.O.V.E.R! I hope this is sarcasm

He reminds me of Viciedo in the sense that the talent is there but he can't use it. Viciedo has one good season (25/78 in 2012), and that's more than Garcia can say. I do remember Avi was one of the league leaders in batting average for the first month and a half until he fell off a cliff. I think his issues are all mental, and that his weight/stance are basically irrelevant.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 20, 2015 -> 08:28 AM) Sunny with a high of 55 here today. I hate you

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 20, 2015 -> 08:07 AM) No, it was the late 90s when that happened. The early 90s they were on track to do some serious damage until the strike Who knows what that 94 team could have been

Curry puts up 50 against the Bulls tonight

Snow tonight/tomorrow along with a low of 9 degrees!!!

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Nov 19, 2015 -> 05:51 PM) Greinke is such a b****. The way he beaned Q and then b****ed about it has always rubbed me the wrong way. Also he says a lot of dumbass s*** to the media about his team and team mates and the opposition and then falls back on the "I'm a misunderstood introvert" BS. No, you're just a dick dude. Yeah, the Greinke/Quentin drama was bad for him, and also misjudged by the media, who didn't seem to know about their history when Greinke was on the Royals and Quentin was on the Sox.

The thing about including LaRoche/Danks in some of these trades is, while you are shedding salary and a bad player, it's taking away from the return you get- especially when they're included in a proposed Sale/Quintana trade. I wouldn't include them in those deals because I don't want to take away from Sale's/Quintana's enormous value.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Nov 19, 2015 -> 01:57 PM) Are people actually calling him that though? I heard a couple guys say it in the preseason and early on in the regular season but not since. Did it really stick? The Blackhawks Twitter calls him that all the time

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 19, 2015 -> 12:48 PM) With the shortage of 3B, he could probably make himself some cash money if he figured out how to be decent there. Easier said than done

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Nov 19, 2015 -> 10:20 AM) I believe this post implied it: I should have quoted it, my bad. QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Nov 19, 2015 -> 10:39 AM) I think the question is not really whether Walker is better than Sanchez, it's more is the difference between Walker and Sanchez worth trading prospects away and adding a difference of roughly $9.5 million dollars in salary for a guy with just one year team control? And, in my opinion, the answer to that question is no. Especially when we have other greater needs when could spend that money and those prospects on. Thanks. I know Walker is better, but I don't think 2B should be our concern. 3B is a bigger problem IMO.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 19, 2015 -> 09:09 AM) Moore also not playing well. Would love trade Taj for backup guard help. I'm all for trading a big (maybe not Taj, he has been great so far) for a guard/wing, but I think Moore has been great. One bad game doesn't change that. Anyway, I think Gibson has been spectacular. I guess we forgot how he plays when healthy. Last season I was fine with trading him. Now I'm not. I'd trade Gasol (doesn't really fit the system) or Noah (high value right now) before Taj.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Nov 18, 2015 -> 02:02 AM) D-Rose OT game winner in Oakland? QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 18, 2015 -> 12:49 PM) Friday. QUOTE (Knuckles @ Nov 19, 2015 -> 08:47 AM) Friday. Optimistic minds think alike?

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Nov 19, 2015 -> 08:39 AM) Can Walker play third by any chance? I know he's been a second baseman for most, if not, all of his career, but I'd go after him if he can make a position change. He has 802 games at 2B and 15 at 3B. I wouldn't do it. It's not like his 2B defense is anything special, and generally, guys who make a position switch to be a third baseman don't do too well defensively.
