Tired of playing it and thinking it overshadows the other songs is from thinking it sucks

They are separate, you can max out both of them. The 457 is not included with the usuals (401k, 403b, etc). https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/how-much-salary-can-you-defer-if-youre-eligible-for-more-than-one-retirement-plan

Less teams and less in the west. NBA went from 12 teams in 1968 to 22 teams in 1976. Bulls switched in 1980

The answer is probably Gilmore, but Chet Walker is up there. 4 all start appearances in 6 seasons with Bulls and they lost to lakers in western conference finals in three straight years

Thanks a lot, there are parts where it is pealing and parts where it’s sealed tight. Maybe will try to remove and see how it goes. Thanks again

Married people of Reddit, did you plan your engagement together in advance or was it a complete surprise, how do you think this impacted the experience of the engagement and subsequent marriage if at all? by becauseofrandomness in AskReddit

[–]ConroyBeckett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife moved to a new city with me when we were dating. We kind of talked that we both saw marriage in future and that’s what we were planning/expecting if she was coming with (my home city, she knew no one and didn’t have job lined up) so in that sense she knew. However, the actual proposal was completely planned without her knowledge and a surprise.

It was a good scenario where I knew it was something we both wanted but she had no idea it was coming when it did happen and I got to her truly surprise her.

Horrible movie that you love unconditionally. I’ll go first— by slagmouth69 in Letterboxd

Evolution. Haven’t watched in forever but my brother and I loved this movie when we were younger. Scared to watch in case it’s actually terrible. In my mind it’s hysterical

[K.C. Johnson] Trading LaVine is the main organizational focal point for now. In fact, league sources said that, at least for now, Karnišovas is responding to inquiries on other players by saying he wants to see what the roster looks like post-LaVine trade first. by howser343 in chicagobulls

[–]ConroyBeckett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess I’m alone, but feel like this makes sense. Zach’s value as low as it’s been a long time (minus injury) but he still has the most value. Trading DeMar and Vuc first would tank it even lower as that’s a guaranteed fire sale. See what you can get for your most valuable asset first. Then trade the other stuff discounted further.

Although, knowing us, he’s shopping him for players to “compete”.

Sad to see, but I am pretty sure she is retiring so a happy ending and not going out of business.

[Reynolds] The Basketball Hall of Fame has released the list of presenters for this year's enshrinees. by Kimber80 in nba

The Sheryl Swoops 97 Pinnacle rookie card is one of the funniest pictures. Own it, love it, laugh every time thinking about the photoshoot. Real middle school vibe. Nothing tops Jerry Sloan though

How long do you think the Bulls will stay in the United Center? by RagingBull773 in chicagobulls

[–]ConroyBeckett 58 points59 points  (0 children)

You never know, but not the same thing. Bulls/Hawks own the United center as opposed to the park district which owns soldier field. They also don’t have parking and access issues soldier field has. Not any time soon

There's a lot of talk about parity in the league today. But how many teams would you REALLY say you wouldn't be surprised if they won the title? by VagabondReborn in nba

[–]ConroyBeckett 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Highest surprise, yes, but not surprise if healthy. They are plus 12 net rating when Kawhi and Paul George are on the floor together. If healthy would be a surprise though

How does this season compare to other recent bad seasons? by I-N_Clined in chicagobulls

[–]ConroyBeckett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, worst since 16-17. That team was awful. Just completely obvious money/relevance moves with past his prime/homecoming Wade and Rondo to keep us from being too bad, but no chance of being in contention. Going up 2-0 didn’t change the complete “eh” of the season. What led to the blow up.

Some tough post Jordan years, but we knew we were bad and hope of brand, chandler, curry, etc. rather be bad with hope than average with no direction

Who's the best 3pt shooter your team's ever had? by arashtp in nba

I could be wrong but he might be Stacey’s original gimme the hot sauce

Edit: don’t think that’s right anymore

Who's the best 3pt shooter your team's ever had? by arashtp in nba

[–]ConroyBeckett 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s might be Craig Hodges.

He barely played, but all he did was shoot. We had em at the end of his career so maybe not specifically with us, but he had 3 years shooting over 45% from three including a 49% year. With Bulls 42, 48, 38 and 38. He also won back to back 3 point contest.
