Yep, but that kid is a competitor, and tough as nails. He will try to talk them into it before it’s a good idea. This is a really good team, although one with some obvious flaws, w/o him. We need him for the conference and for March more than we need to win these non-cons, no matter how hype is...

Maybe… having tough choices on who is too good to send down is a heck of a lot more fun than tough choices on who is actually good enough to come up. We’ve had enough of the latter. Seems like these things have a way of working themselves out.

Rojas is a good prospect, but there is nowhere for him to play in Chicago. Obviously we have the big money guys all over the infield, but we also still have Shaw… and Pedro Ramirez, who is just 22 and has been a revelation lately.

Welp... now reports are conflicting... Perhaps not happening... or not done yet, or....

Reid Detmers incoming... no reports on what we are giving yet... Another solid, if unspectacular starter. Controllable for the next 2 years. Entering his prime. Our defense should help him.

Brook López is 7’1”, 280. He has played a whole lot of minutes…

Faster is a relative term. It would be pretty tough to play slower than we did last year. My assumption is that in the half court we will do similar things. By faster he may just be talking about pushing the ball up court when they have break opportunities. We didn’t pursue those very often last...

🤣🤣🤣 I was gearing up to post this while reading the last few pages.

It would be tough to blame him either way he goes, accept a minor league assignment or soft retire. He’s been in the majors for nearly a decade. Made more than enough money to do whatever he wants for the rest of his life. (Unless drugs and strippers are what he wants to do…) Not in the majors...

That’s weird…I was just told that Williams can’t play because he’s a 200+ ranked recruit. 🤣

Seriously? Significantly more likely? There is so much more variance in freshman performance… Jake and Z are proven, high quality high major players. The difference in actual performance of guys ranked 25-150 has a massive amount of variance. The idea that Zens and Williams could be pushing...

I think a big part of the strategy was also going back to the Eastern Conference. OKC & SA remain the betting favorites to win it all. Going through either of them in the playoffs is going to be a tall (literally) order. His best role at this stage is facilitator, NYK weren’t going to put the...

With a list like this, it seems he is likely down to 2…

…and if a guy as talented as Morillo is getting pushed by Williams and Zens, maybe a few people can calm down a bit about depth.

If anyone is interested in selling their Mirkovic stock, I’m buying. I’ve got some cottage cheese, a Talking Heads record, and my beach house to trade. Can’t wait to see him unleashed after this offseason.
