If I owned a basketball team and was losing money hand over fist and had to save money, yes.
if i sent you kurt thomas, bowen, and oberto for RJ would you take it?

was responding to his reference to fantasy basketball. thanks
You really should not use a regular bulb with a dimmer. Not only could it short out, it will drastically reduce the lifetime of the bulb.
The harder question: will a regular bulb live a natural, long life if used in a "triple" (three brightness settings) lamp?
actually, bigs that can shoot like bonner (at least in the regular season) are pretty rare.
doesn't mean that a big with cajones and the stereotypical big man talents doesn't provide more value - only that you should give a little (and only a little) credit where it's due.
Bingo, we have a winner. Just because the Bucks would do a salary dump, does not mean the Bulls, who are a playoff team would do the same for young "under paid" talent.
Are you talking about fantasy basketball or real life? If fantasy, stop talkin'.
Real life, I agree. I am a Bonner fan (for the Spurs). I am big on the diversification rule on building a roster. Bonner adds a dimension the Spurs need and that no one else on the roster really brings (maybe Haislip, but he is unknown).
If you are speaking about fantasy, then NO. So what is the point?
that just becuase it doesnt work in fantasy doesnt necesarily mean it wont in real life
Haha, yeah right, the Bulls will never do that proposed trade. They could get more value for Tyrus than that...
@ waiting a few years. Ours don't buzz (regular fluorescents).
I still don't have a dimmable lamp.
That makes no sense and that was not my point. There are many facets to a trade and getting garbage in return for a young talented player makes 0 sense.
If you are going to bring up the RJ trade, that made sense for the broke/rebuilding Bucks, looking to dump an overpaid older player.
100 posts.
thats what im saying its case by case. I dont get how your fantasy reference had anything to do with why this deal wont work.
The florescent light over my desk at work buzzes and it drives me crazy. I don't think it's supposed to dim, but it does all day anyway.
That is annoying. One of the lights in my office does that, SW.
Oh, and I still think the premise of this thread is ridiculous.
tired of all this trade finley crap he came here to win multiple rings now lets give them to him
The cheap stuff they sell at Home Depot is fine for residential usage, but its still not great product. The reason we do not sell a bunch of them commercially is because, as I stated, the technology is not there yet. The life rating on those lamps are usually 6,000-8,000 hours...what we sell commerically is 8,000-15,000 depending on the lamp and manufacturer.
The buzzing noise is the ballast inside the lamp. Screw-in CFL's have a built in ballast, and unless it is a dimmable ballast/lamp, the ballast is not designed for electrical flow reduction, thus causing the humm/buzzing noise.
I am not a tree hugger, I don't believe in man-made global warming (neither do a majority of the non-politically funded scientists studying the issue, but that is another subject for another time), but you can save a decent amount of money by switching to CFL's and dimmers. Electricity bills areonly going to rise, with the new cap-and-tax regulations the current administration is trying pass...as much as I hate forced regulation, you probably won't be able to buy incandescent light bubls in 10 years.
The dimmables may still buzz slightly, because most of what they sell @ Home Depot/Lowe's is not good quality and the ballasts are very cheaply made.
They are better, but still not perfect...the manufacturer's will not even warranty them yet.
I don't even have much to say to this one, but I didn't want this posting to feel left out...
Excellent point...life will be drastically reduced if a non-dimmable is placed on a dimmer, EVEN if you do not dim. The ballast cannot handle anything but a constant and consistent energy flow.
To answer the three-way question, yes, the light bulb will be just fine. Three-ways are designed to work with three-way lamps (which you can find in a CFL), but the ballast is running on the same power because the way a three-way light switch works. Thus a regular lamp is treated like a three-way but with just one setting, in this system.
This message seemed lonely, so I included it as well. It was kinda like the kid who sat alone at lunch in high school, all the while wishing the cool kids would come by and ask him to sit with them...
I still don't have a dimmable lamp.
And before you assume I was that kid, I will confess I wasn't even as cool as him...I was the nerd studyig, doing homework, or otherwise being anti-social.
This is a ballast problem...if you work in a commercial office building, the building engineer should be able to help out. But definitely a ballast issue...
Again, a ballast problem. And again, I agree that trading Tyrus Thomas for Fin and Bonner is far-fetched, but at least we could have a productive conversation about lighting, eh?
We need to keep these expiring contracts so we can sign Splitter next year.
We are not wasting another year for TD. Pop himself has said that if he doesn't get #5 this year he should be fired. Those expiring contracts set us up with Ian, DeJuan and SPLITTER. These could be the equivalent of 3 lottery picks... they could be the future of our spurs after TD...
