Actually, that signing was not made by Hendry. The president of the Cubs from the Tribrune signed Soriano without Hendry's approval. He went over Hendry's head. Check your facts! Also, Soriano is not trouble, he's an excellent teammate, great in the clubhouse and has improved tremendously in the outfield. At this point, since the boys in the minors need 1-2 years to be ready for the bigs, why not keep him until then. Otherwise, you're giving up 25 HRS and paying $36 million to boot.
Idon't think you got Wade's age correct. Wade came out of Marquette in 2003 as a Junior (20yrs old). If I'm mistaken Wade will be 29 this year, not 32!
My man Sonny! Old school parental skills from back in the day. His experiience as a college and pro player helps their decision process. If I'm mistaken, Jabari's mother was a first class athlete as well. I remember sonny playing high school ball , he was a beast! Hey sonny, give the Illini a chance!
Why give up all of that? If Dwight Howard opts out of his contract, he is a free agent! Instead, do a sign and trade using Boozer, Asik and Charlotte's draft pick. They can accept that, or lose Howard for nothing. The Bulls will need to get rid of Boozer's contract. Move Noah to PF with Gibson coming off the bench. Remember, if Howard opts out, Chicago will be in the position of power, not Orlando!
Did anyone watch what they were doing to Rose and Deng in the first four games? It was about time that someone gave some hard fouls. Danny Granger wanted the Bulls and he got the Bulls. Now he can relax on his sofa until October. C YA! Noah is not dirty, he is fiesty though!
This is exactly why the Bulls' management and myself was totally against the Bulls trading for Carmelo. They wnated Noah, Gibson, Johnson, Deng and two no.1s for Carmelo. Three of those players were and, are still starters on the Bulls' team today. Need I remind everyone that the Bulls are the 1 seed in the east without Carmelo and the so-called bad two guards!
Are you kidding? Who wants them? They are not shooting guards. Both of them are variations of point guards, especially Mo Williams. We don't want Cleveland's mess.
Shut up! Who the hell cares about the Knicks but you? Besides, the Knicks cannot overtake the Bulls because they will be the champs of their division, even if the Knicks do have a better record. It does not matter what the subject is, you insist on inferring some Knicks' crap into the conversation. Get a life!!!!
Youu've got to be kidding me! What Cardinals baseball have you been watching? Pujols is not only a premier hitter, but he is also a premiere defensive first baseman! He will not sign anywhere he cannot play first base. You can bet on that. And remember, Boston just gave Adrian Gonzalez a huge contract. Pay attention!!!
President Obama and the Republican millionaires should have invited the RedSox and Yankee owners to the meetings to discuss the current budget defecits. Perhaps they could lend the taxpayers some dollars to get out of this hole!
Let's see now, take a look at all of the coaches they've had. Remember, Mike Dunleavy's lifetime record is below .500 and we all know that Vinny DelNegro has no imagination as a coach on offence or defense!
Actually, they would be paying for it themselves. They are just asking for the lower financing thru state back bonds. At least it is better than the taxpayers actually paying for the stadiums that the White Sox ( U.S. Cellular Field) and The Bears (Soldier Field) play in. The state and city actually paid for those with taxpayer money. The Cubs are acsking for the state issue issue bonds that will be paid for with the 12% amusement tax that state and city already charge fans to get in the games. That is a big difference than what the White Sox and the Bears got!
Yeah, and what about all the haters that said that the Bulls should have given up Noah along with Deng and Taj Gidson and the Bobcats pick that the Bulls got for Tyrus (play when I want to) Thomas. Let's see, now that would have been three players averaging 53 pts and 29 boards combined, for one player who can't spell defense averaging 26 pts and 7 boards! Besides, what everyone failed to realize, is that the Nuggets absolutely refused to take Deng back in any trade scenario. So, the trade would have been impossible money wise! Just think, when Boozer comes back, the Bulls will have Gibson coming off the bench who has shown the ability to average 15 and 7 will playing regularly. The Bulls are just fine thank you. Besides, they can wait and get him for nothing this summer thru free agency.
You've written some outlandish things in your time on truth and rumors, but that is the dumbest most asinine statement you could have made! What difference does his disease make in making a sound business deal. I wish there were some way you could be suspended for your dumb analytical comments. Maybe we'll ask the NFL commish look into your thought process. Stop writing just to be writing. If there is nothing more inteligible than that that to say, then just simply wait on the next comment.
Are you sure? I thopught C.C. Sabathia had reached that plateau with that contract he signed with the Yankees! I am not sure, but I think it's very close!
But, on the other hand, I think the world of Blake Griffin. With him, Eric Gordon, Baron Davis, Chris Kaman all healthy, the Clippers have a legit chance at the playoffs. YOu see what Vinnie was able to do with the talent he had in Chicago, well I believe with Griffin in the lineup, that talent is better than what he had last year to work with. Now, if Vinnie will learn some new plays!
Yeah right, when Sam Bowie (oops) I mean Greg Oden gets healthy (ha, ha) then Brandon Roy and Aldridge will have some legit help. Let's face it, Oden was injured in college and he's been injured his entire NBA career. Even if he does come back, he'll play tentatively because he'll be afraid of reinjuring that knee. Sorry, but I beleive Greg Oden will be a bust!
You're absolutely right! Lostwill is as dumb as the former GM Isaiah Thomas with that scenario. The reason Denver rejected Chicago's previous offer was because they did not want Deng's contract with four years left at $40+ million. They want expiring contracts which Chicago has none. What makes anyone think that now they will accept Noah's contract at 5 years and $65+ million, with incentives that could take it $70+ million.
For the last time Lostwill, the Bulls are not sending Noah to Denver. They have said repeatedly that Noah is a vital part of what they are trying to do, period! They (Denver) must accept Deng in any deal that is negotiated or the Bulls will wait until he (Melo) becomes a free agent next summer and get him for free. Who says the Bulls must win this year? The Bulls cannot afford to keep Deng at $14 million and Melo at $20+ million at the same time. Dneg will become the most expensive seventh or eight man in NBA history because Melo will not be the first player to be substituted for. Stop dreaming up these stupid trade scenarios for other teams, leave those for your Knicks and leave Chicago out of your mess!
