    From Ball Don't Lie-
     

    Earlier this month, [Wrigley] brought a custom, tricked-out Skittles vending machine to his house and promised to keep it stocked with Skittles for at least three years.

    Rose gets the machine and the Skittles for free; the Skittles brand has a chance of getting more love from Rose; and the Bulls, I guess, hope Rose's sugar highs peak at the right time.

    The folks at Wrigley would only confirm the following facts: The picture is real. The machine holds every variety of Skittles. And it even tempts him, in his own voice, whenever he walks by the machine.

    Not only as Skittles delicious, but the machine looks rad, it was free, has his name on it, and oh yea, it speaks in your voice whenever you walk pas it! I bet a burglar would be scared out of his mind if he walked by that thing in the middle of the night and it spoke to him.."Would you like to try some Skittles" or some variation of that. That is easily one of the coolest perks I've seen. Must be nice...

    can I get one of those in m&m's?

    Quite a perk, yes. I'm sure he's built up quite a metabolism.

    Rose, much like Odom, is a notorious candy junkie, so this is right up his alley.
    Check this article about his candy habits out here-
     "He just didn’t eat - You don’t eat and your stomach’s supposed to be hurting ... He didn’t eat last night or this morning," Dozier said. "We’ve been having problems with him, making him eat all this year, so it’s nothing major to worry about ... He just eats candy and pineapple and syrup. He never really eats real food. Eating grilled cheese sandwiches, things kids eat. He’s 19, he eats like he’s eight ... He needs (a food pyramid). Someone needs to put one up in his room."

    Call me crazy, but isn't it a bit narcississtic to have YOUR OWN voice be the one you hear?  I bet LBJ already has one!  Give me that machine with Halle Berry's voice, and watch me bleed "rainbow"!

    To go another season with so many rookies is not a good idea. We need a couple of vets and atleast one young bench scorer. If we want a Center, go after Hawes from Philly and Dorrell wright can be signed as a free agent. We can trade our 2nd round...

    I would LOVE to see Oden on this team!!! 


    BUT

    Remember when Jammal Crawford said that Brandon Roy was full healthy again??

    also, imagine

    Damian, Roy, Batum, Lamarcus, Oden 

    :''(

    Thanks Ricky.   I''ll be watching @ 10.   Haven''t seen enough right hand from Shazamm.   Without the ability to take his defender either way off the bounce, let alone finish at the cup with either hand?   Second rounder at best.

    Sug81 I love Iggy but this team has numerous gaping holes throughout the depth chart so signing Iggy is not the best way to spend our limited funds

  8. offseason .

    That roster looks pretty good, but if we would have enough cash Corey or Ronnie brewer would be nice
