Yeah.

It's mostly full of trolls though (and I mean full of in the literal sense), so I only go there to see reactions to things like this trade and such.

In other Blackhawk's news...

I read today in the Daily Herald (a local Chicago Metro Area paper) that Mike Smith believes:
Quote:
"There's nobody who is going to improve our team," Smith said of those prospects at last week's camp.
from http://www.dailyherald.com/sports/col_sassone.asp

but then later he says, "We're looking to significantly improve our team."

YEAH MIKE THAT"S WHY YOU LET KARIYA AND SELANNE GO TO COLORADO AND DARIEN HATCHER GO TO DETROIT. YOU SUCK. I WANT YOU AND THE WIRTZ FAMILY TO DIE!

This story is nothing compared to what the Lakers are about to pull off in the NBA. Shaq, Kobe, Payton and Malone on the same team? Unbelievable.

That would be a disaster... 4 guys who need the ball... there wouldn't be room on that bench with all the egos.

I don't think Payton and Malone would cause problems; they're both taking huge pay cuts to get their shot at the title, so I'm pretty sure their egos aren't out of control. Kobe and Shaq may still be having their stupid little feud, but that would still be there even without Payton and Malone. This is a genius move for the Lakers; if they end up signing Malone, the championship is theirs.

It's not just about ego, its about touches. 4 stars is 3 too many. This is the cause of the Shaq/Kobe feud, the reason McGrady left Toronto, and the reason Pippen was never really happy with the Bulls.

Other things to consider - it is hard to teach old dogs new tricks. How many people think Malone and Payton will gel with the triangle offense? How well will Malone do without Stockton?
