I guess we could make this a Laker thread.

Hey I think the Clippers and Lakers should do a sign and trade deal.

Sign CP3 and D12 to max contracts then trade straight across.

Clips get the Center they need and have an outstanding young Eric Bledsoe to run the point.

Lakers get a PG and still have Pau to play center.

Whadya think, win/win!

I think the Heat got a rude awakening tonight... with them being in straight up coasting mode for so long and Chicago limping into this series.  I really expect to see Miami come out and remind everybody why they're still the team to beat next game.

Bulls showed great character and heart. Derrick Rose could learn a lot from his teammates. Funny how Rose refuses to play and has literally quit on his team and receives little criticism, but LeBron receives the wrath of every press member in America if he misses a shot late in a game.

 

At least he's out there taking the shot. Bulls should try to trade Rose for Irving.

No way does Rose come back now. I held out hope all season and he's got nothing to gain coming back now. People have already talked about as bad as they can about him so his reputation can't get hurt too much more. That being said I hope the Bulls win this series and I think they can. They're playing like wounded animals and playing for each other thats a dangerous team. If the Bulls win tonight the Heat are in BIG trouble

Game 2 has been horrible for the Bulls, it's embarrassing. 

 

I'm sure the Bulls are pretty pleased actually.

They've seized home court advantage which gives them the remote chance to actually beat the Heat they were looking for while in South Beach.

One more win and a guaranteed game 6 back in Chicago is what this series requires to get real interesting.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
