I hope Taj will be on the move.

If we keep Gordon, I don't mind not going with Ellington. However, that seems like quite the IF right now.

Blair would have made this a great draft, IMO.

Another skinny big man?

Well, at least we don't have Aldrirdge with his only 17.2 PPG.

I'd do it just to get rid of wallace...

so, how do you explain the Wallace signing?

or maybe just a bad GM...

It's amazing how explosive he is...

I don't love the idea of trading Wallace, but better him then Deng or Hinrich. Plus, it would be nice to get rid of his ridiculously overpriced contract for a player on the decline like he is.

I personally was in favor of keeping Tyson after the Wallace signing. And after the drafting of Noah, I don't see why we just didn't keep Tyson in the first place.

*and the crowd goes wild*

congrats!

if we could do that, I'd probably cream my pants. we'd also probably have to throw in Duhon to help get the salaries to match.

Oh man, a roster of:

C: Wallace | Smith | Gray
PF: Thomas | Smith
SF: Deng | Shefolosha | Khyrapa | Griffen
SG: Byrant | Shefolosha | Griffen
PG: Hinrich | Shefolosha | Curry

we'd need to bring in someone cheap though who could play the 4 & 5.

looks like I get to watch the bulls while handing out candy to little kids, once again... a lot of national games also. Some respect from ESPN and the rest of the sports world? Nah, it couldn't be!

Floyd pitched 8 innings for Charlotte today, giving up 2 runs on 3 hits while striking out 10 and walking 2. He got the ND today, mainly in part from no help from the dynamic duo up front, Podsednik and Erstad. Combined, they went 1-10 with 3 strike outs and leaving 3 runners on. Sweeney cooled down by going 0-4 with a BB but Richar got a couple more hits today.

Agreed. I really hope Contreras and maybe someone like McCulloch could get Jackson to the southside... but I have my doubts about that.

while we are waiting for our soxtalk fix... any thought on Conor Jackson? I'm a big fan of his, and would love to get him.

Poreda finally made an appearance. Pitched 1 inning of relief for great falls. struck out 2 and gave up 1 hit.

little minors update here. Sweeney has homered in his past two games, with one being a grand slam. Richar got 4 hits yesterday I think and got one or two today, and a homer. He has been playing mainly shortstop and has his average up to almost .360 with Charlotte (.300+ all together). Broadway bounced back yesterday as well by going 7 strong and striking out 8. Gio lost yesterday though.

Hinrich 36, Thabo 10, Curry 2
Gordon 33, Thabo 13, Curry 2
Deng 38, Nocioni 10
Smith 20, Thomas 15, Nocioni 13
Wallace 35, Noah 10, Gray 3

Hinrich 36 mpg
Thabo 23 mpg
Curry 4 mpg
Gordon 33 mpg
Deng 38 mpg
Nocioni 23 mpg
Smith 20 mpg
Wallace 35 mg
Noah 10 mpg
Gray 3 mpg

I'd much rather see him and Gordon (if he plays) play for the U.S.A... but that ain't happening.

so, is soxtalk delayed a bit still? I am going through withdrawal right now.

I agree... But I also think he is mainly a 1 inning pitcher, as in all of the times I've seen him pitch, if he goes more then 1 inning, he usually gets hit. But there was no choice but let him pitch in extras...

same here... he was hitting 96-97 on the clock though...

I don't think there would be trolling cause if there are lots of admins/mods and if there was a troll, they would hopefully be suspeneded/banned. Some friendly banter is always nice though...

for some reason the message is in white for me... if anyone else has a problem seeing the post just highlight it.
