Dumb take.
This adds a lot of security to move a few of those forward pieces for a big trade
Also, Denault has put up 50 point seasons prior to this past one.
He's a top tier shut down forward.
With playmaking abilities.
I'm just a bit iffy on the 6 years.
"You're going to get Selke level defence from Danault.
He had a down year offensively this year but the previous 2 were ~50 point years with all production at 5v5.
He is an underrated playmaker and has great 5v5 production.
Since 2018 Danault is 34th in the league at 5v5 points and he is 14th in the league with for primary assists.
He is also dominant on the PK." from a habs fan on the hockey sub
my buddy just shared this too.

I wonder if it's a language issue with the contract or the Jets are being massive cheap asses.

I would guess it is less about losing money due to his influence with other anti vaxxers growing in ranks and more about the risk of losing money due to possibly infecting the team and staff and causing a disruption there. Wilson included.

The Niners situation is a lot different from the Bears. Jimmy is still good enough that it's justify for Lance to sit. Especially with the contract Jimmy G has rn. You really want to pay a dude all that money to sit on the bench? Probably not.

You’re right

Probably a Reinsdorf thing because he's fucking cheap with the White Sox too.

Lakers getting hield or Westbrook?

I would rather have Westbrook, but holy shit
How would a Lebron Westbrook offense even work?

Westbrook getting mad and trying to fight and lebron just doesn't change what he is doing

Too injury prone to work imo

Once Lebron leaves. Good luck, LAL. AD can't carry a team to a championship alone. His time in NO proved that.

Like, having Lebron and AD and potentially Russell now is great. But the Lakers can't draft worth the shit, they have little to no depth. They're a dumpster fire covered in diamonds.

So like what the nets did

Best shooter is AD lmao

Net fans still making excuses as to why they lost. No, James Harden's injury did changed nothing about his reputation. His stats in game 7 elimination games prove that and you know Irving is injury prone.

okay but the nets actually fit together
i don't know how the hell ad lebron and westbrook fit together on the lakers

that 29th pick must be collateral
idk why else they would trade landry for a worse player

"At one point center Thon Maker didn't have an iPhone, messing up the team's blue-bubble iPhone group chat," the book excerpt read. "Kidd was upset about it and made the team run because Kidd felt that Maker not getting an iPhone was an example of the team not being united."
honest umbra
I'd rather have hield than WB
keep hield, kcp and 22nd pick
idk why people are so big on RW
proud coyote
yeah, no clue how that would work
you need shooters, hield is a good shooter
and you can sign more w/ him
honest umbra
exactly
proud coyote
KCP as well is just genuinely good
honest umbra
very good
i become frustrated
but hes been our 3rd best player
on top of being the best defender
hield is a good shooter, would be amazing
haughty moss
what is rob doing smh

Meanwhile gutting your depth and eating up cap space unnecessarily

no idea what hes tryna do here

@honest umbra I gotta ask, do they know what's wrong with bellinger yet
it's hard to watch
going from a 169 OPS+ to a 57 in two years is ridiculous, especially at 23-25
honest umbra
<@!95648410492731392> I gotta ask, do they know what's wrong with bellinger yet
he has been injured at the most inconvenient times. he broke his shoulder if you remember the 2019 NLCS celebration after he hit the HR and then he recovered over offseason and as soon as preseason started, he developed another injury that lingered on till mid june
he comes back and has had absolute holes in his game
he is an elite defender so its worth keeping him in the game
proud coyote
lack of confidence? or is it stuff that came from his injury?
honest umbra
his swing is erratic, im sure you've seen he absolutely misses hittable balls
like if he connects, they would be no doubters. but its such a wide swing, hes almost late
its a lack of confidence that was sustained from being injured so long
honest umbra
even how he runs is kinda weird now
proud coyote
I hope he gets back to at least being able to hit it
honest umbra
almost like hes in insane pain
albeit very fast
no idea why roberts keep hitting him 5th and 4th
like bases loaded, i was thinking oh "smith is coming up"
proud coyote
yeah, he was fourth this game
proud coyote
pollock in fourth drives those runs in
honest umbra
after turner had fouled 7 pitches off to get a walk
pollock has been AMAZING and hasnt been played above 5
proud coyote
yeah
honest umbra
i geninuely would consider not signing belli long term
hes my second fav player on the team but hes regressing hard
proud coyote
they probably won't even sign him if he can't figure it out by then
dim kettle
He's gonna be traded before that.
honest umbra
yea
belli is still an elite defender
and if he figures it out, top 10 player in the league
if a team wants to take that risk
i personally want to resign seager
my fav player and ALWAYS shows up
dim kettle
White Sox are out of that. We already have a young center fielder.
proud coyote
oh yeah, he's injured
honest umbra
sadly his agent is boras and will use us to get 300 million from the yankees
honest umbra
yea seager missing since may is the saddest thing for me
hes insanely clutch
would allow muncy to bat 4th
proud coyote
I honestly like muncy 2nd
honest umbra
me too
proud coyote
he's got such a good eye
honest umbra
i would prefer seager at 4th
but roberts loves betts-seager at 1-2
seager will hit the first pitch for the HR lmao
something none of the other dodgers know how to do
dim kettle
You want to talk about injuries. The White Sox IL was literally full for the past few months. Eloy just got back from a long injury.
honest umbra
you can always steal a strike on the dodgers first pitch
honest umbra
You want to talk about injuries. The White Sox IL was literally full for the pas...
our IL is so bad, the pitcher we just signed from the royals is on the IL

honest umbra
i loved grandal on the dodgers

He's fucking hurt long term too.
proud coyote
he walks a shit ton now
honest umbra
will never trade will smith though
proud coyote
had 60 in 63 games when he went down
honest umbra
he has been sooooooooo good
him and pollock been carrying us for 2 months
only if he was a better catcher lol
dim kettle
Thankfully Eloy is back and the next few weeks Luis Robert will as well
honest umbra
smith has improved, hes mid now in the MLB
even kershaw says smith can catch him now
but i would take smith before any other catcher except posey or JT maybe in the NL
proud coyote
is Mercedes back?
dim kettle
He's still in the minors.
honest umbra
he unretired
proud coyote

honest umbra
so yes
it was so funny
bro posted "im back"
like he was MJ
funny enough, he is on the WS

Nick Madrigal and Grandal injuries still hurt as hell.
Madrigal was clutch af before going down.

ive kinda accepted we might not win NL west

Again, knowing San Diego sports with high power talent; they're gonna find a way to fuck it up.

I haven't watched many Snell games. But I'm guessing he was a product of the Rays or he's playing for the wrong team.
