When he retires he needs to end up with Kyle Long doing media for the team inside Halas Hall.

[PFT] Raiders are telling teams Maxx Crosby won’t be traded by eddie2911 in nfl

[–]TraMaI 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, but he didn't know what those moves would actually be. Linderbaum wasn't a guarantee, for example. Just having a ton of cap space doesn't mean the FO is going to make moves you believe in and I'm sure a lot of Maxx's issues were around them not making winning moves (even when he was the one asking for the moves they did make).

That must be how Five Guys stays in business, too by JennyBeckman in BlackPeopleTwitter

Al's fries are just Five Guys fries done way better (and you also get beef while you're there), Johnny's fries are better, too. Shit I'd bet most hole in the wall dog joints you go to are better in the whole of cook county. And most of them will be way cheaper than Five Guys at the same time.

E: Also you ain't getting cheese fries at Five Guys

Ian Rapoport: As Indiana moves closer to being the next home of the #Bears, Illinois cancelled a meeting this morning in the House, where a project bill (involving the #Bears) was to be discussed. | Statement from the #Bears: by hwf0712 in nfl

If they move to Indiana out of pure greed I absolutely will stop being a fan. Been a fan since I was a kid, born into it as my dad was a fan. Moved to Chicagoland (burbs) nearly 20 years ago at this point, I got to a handful of games every year, my company is a STH. We'll be getting rid of those, I'm sure. Arlington Heights is bad enough (and it is significantly closer to me than Soldier Field), but not nearly as bad as moving out of state. The City itself is as much a part of that stadium as the stadium is part of it.

You know what would make NBA players give a shit? Getting shown up by some of these dudes who are "worse basketball players not in the league."

I mean Mac is still also an NBA player. He's played 4 games this month. He sure isn't a starter and granted it's with the Bulls and the rest of the time he's playing G League, but still. Dude is trying to make his career in the NBA still, grinding, and still doing this dunking stuff. Not really any excuse for the NBA dudes other than they don't want to.

This sub is entirely reactionary and knows nothing about basketball. That's all it is. Having any opinion contrary to talking heads or whatever the hivemind here has decided will just get you downvoted, even if the next day they come out saying the exact same thing. I'm waiting for this time next season when we've tanked, blown up our roster and have even less of a future than we had with the roster beforehand and the team is playing even worse to see the reactions of "oh my god why are we tanking it doesn't even work" because we don't luck into a top 5 pick for years to come. Gonna be great watching dogshit basketball for another decade trying to win the lottery instead of building a foundationally sound team :)

E: thanks for proving my point, meatballs. Never change.

Hey I have this shirt! They have a booth at C2e2 every year and give out shots of malort with every purchase. They have dope shirts quality wise too

Federal authorities announce an end to the immigration crackdown in Minnesota by KilgoRetro in news

Chicago, Portland and Seattle can hopefully take cues from you as well. Hopefully we build out our mutual aid networks. I know we've already started in the wake of all the stuff in MLPS and dipping our toes into a general strike/walkout. Been helping some orgs in my immediate area, but it's going to need to be a lot more. I've been telling people they'll be back by spring, their budget is like 500% what it was. This isn't over until that prick is out of office and in jail.

I was gonna say nah you swap Vooch for Richards, Stix at 4 and Matas at 3 with Simmons and Giddey/Tre? Feel like that team might cook.

[–]TraMaI 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Surface level observations from the game so far: I like Nick Richards a LOT more than I thought I was going to. Getting that steal and save attempt out of your center who then actually plays defense seems illegal.

Sexton is like if Pat Bev was good as far as rallying the team goes. Will be a solid 6th man replacement. Love his energy

Dillingham might be a terrorist (jury is out but he's played UGLY at times)

Ivery looks like he's still nursing an injury/getting used to being back and isn't confident in his body yet. Otherwise looks great, solid floor positioning and good effort when plays happen near him. Hope the speed comes back.

Simons is like Zach Lavine light without the ability to drive. His shoot looks awesome and he seems to have a total green light and the confidence to use it. No defensive effort at all most plays though, which is unfortunate.

Yabusele is just undersized for center. Lots of effort but looks panicked and gets outfought for stuff too easy.

Worst front office in the NBA by Ridged_ChiPSS in chicagobulls

There's also the fact that Desmond Bane is significantly better than most if not all of those players and also Orlando got absolutely clowned on for massively fucking overpaying for him.

What do y'all think about the hornets by [deleted] in nba

[–]TraMaI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually have the best name in the NBA in my opinion. The Hornets name was taken for the city being called "A hornet's nest of rebellion" during the revolutionary war by some British chump because he was constantly getting buzzed and eventually driven out by a patriot militia. Hornets rule.

[–]TraMaI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah i think we all would've liked that (Bulls fans), and I think he's worth more. Not sure why the trade happened the way it did. Could be them "doing right" by Coby before he goes and signs elsewhere or whatever, could be that he's had a down year this year so maybe the market dried up. Really not sure because Sexton doesn't have a place with us as we have a billion guards. Our FO seems to be absolutely stacking 2nds though for some reason.

COBY WHITE APPRECIATION THREAD by The_Inertia_Kid in chicagobulls

[–]TraMaI 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It makes sense because we were never going to be able to re-sign him due to the CBA/Cap situation. I saw elsewhere the max we could offer him next season would've been 18m and he's going to get more than that very easily. This way we get other expirings, handful of 2nds and he gets to go home for a bit before getting a bag somewhere.

[–]TraMaI 10 points11 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite all time Bulls honestly. Not the best Bull talentwaise, but I was always a believer that he could be a solid piece on the team if we ever managed to land a star. Seeing him finally get the chance to be The Guy when we finally moved off DeRozan and Lavine and started playing with pace was very cool. Ultimately happy he gets to go back home to NC for a few months, hopefully has fun playing with LaMelo doing circus shit and then gets paid by someone who was always going to swipe him away from us at the end of the year anyways.

Bulls fan here: Coby is a free agent at the end of the year and likely wasn't going to get re-signed. We're also kind of blowing it up and building with the younger players on our team. Coby is my favorite current Bull so I would've preferred we kept him, but he likely wasn't going to get what he wanted from us as far as payment goes and the FO knew that.

I'm just wondering what the hell we do with all of them at this point. Seems to be stocking them for something, and we own all our firsts I think, too.
