Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors: Latest News,                 Speculation on Bulls Star

According to Chris Mannix of The Vertical (h/t Chuck Myron of HoopsRumors.com), there is "legitimate interest in Chicago in potentially dealing [Butler] this offseason," and the Orlando Magic have emerged as one of the top suitors.

Per Mannix, there are reportedly chemistry issues between head coach Fred Hoiberg and his players, with Butler standing out as the most glaring example. That led to multiple teams inquiring about Butler's availability at the trade deadline, including the Boston Celtics.

The issues between Butler and Hoiberg may stem from a December incident that saw the two-time All Star criticize his coach, according to ESPN.com's Nick Friedell:

But I also believe that we probably have to be coached a lot harder at times. I'm sorry. I know Fred's a laid-back guy and I really respect him for that, but when guys aren't doing what they're supposed to do, you got to get on guys. Myself included. You got to do what you're supposed to do when you're out there playing basketball.

The former Marquette standout has enjoyed a great year statistically despite the controversy, with per-game averages of 21 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists, but the Bulls are just 37-37 and would not make the playoffs if the season ended today.

My Thoughts

The Chicago Bulls need to keep Jimmy Butler! He is currently the best on the team and without a doubt a top 5 shooting guard in the NBA averaging 21 points per game, 5 rebounds and 4.4 assist. 

The Bulls need to find a new coach to be a little bit harder on players to do their job and play their role and a new staff to prepare, train and recover injured players. The Bulls season has been a struggle regarding to injuries considering there starting lineup can never be consistent playing every game, we need fresh players and Jimmy too lead that team of young new players to help rebuild and hopefully get a shot to play a championship again. 

NBA Logos Redesigned As Superheroes Will Help You Forget About ‘Batman V Superman’

If you were alive over the past week or so, which I assume you were if you can read this, then there is no possible way that you missed the big story: The release of the mega-blockbuster Batman v Superman. The movie is dominating the newswire, and usually not for great reasons as it was universally panned, although still took in $254 million worldwide in its opening weekend. But we aren’t here to talk Battfleck. We’re here to commit graphic design blasphemy.

Superheroes are the flavor of the now, and basketball is in full swing with March Madness and the NBA season approaching the playoffs. We could have done this with the NFL logos, but the NFL is doing that stupid here is my mock draft version 67.5 thing right now and baseball hasn’t started yet. So let’s go with the NBA logos. The NBA is full of superheroes anyway (Steph Curry). Plus Supervillians (Dwight Howard, does anybody like Dwight Howard?). And those conflicted Supermen who can’t decide what side they are on (LeBron, dude,what are you doing anymore?).

This list is entirely superheroes, not villains, even if a few of them trend to the “darker” side of things. No Thanos or Magnetos here. It’s also not exclusive to DC Comics, since there really aren’t 30 different DC superheroes worth using. Nobody is going to know who Atomic Knight is. (I didn’t, I Googled a list of DC superheroes and found a name I didn’t know. And I’m a nerd.) I’d like to say there was a big connection between which hero was chosen for which team, but there wasn’t. Some of them are obvious, some not so much. The reasoning will be explained as we go.

76ers – Captain AmericaPhiladelphia is one of the most important historic cities in the country. Also, the colors are just like Cap so this was an obvious fit.

Trail Blazers – Deadpool
Deadpool was dying and pretty much given up for death, but then he wouldn’t go away and is actually really fun to watch. Sounds like Damian Lillard and the Blazers to me.

Bucks – Blade
They both start with B. Come at me.

Bulls – Hellboy
Hellboy might be a little bit of a niche choice for one of the most well-known basketball franchises, but that’s why Hellboy is so cool. He’s the only non-Marvel non-DC one on this list, which makes him special. Plus he’s red and sort of has horns and looks like a bull.

Cavs – Daredevil
Daredevil is a blind lawyer torn between two different lives. Lebron is a basketball player torn between being loyal to Cleveland and teasing us by acting like he’s going to leave.

Celtics – Green Lantern
The color Green. And rings!

Clippers – Cyclops
Every time DeAndre Jordan attempts a free throw it reminds me of the disasters that happen when Cyclops gets his visor knocked off and things start to explode.

Grizzlies – Groot
I am Groot.

Hawks – Hawkeye
Sometimes things just line up the way they should.

Miami – Ghost Rider
Miami is HOT HOT HOT and so is Ghost Rider.

Hornets – Falcon
Maybe Falcon would work better as the Hawks, because they are both birds of prey. But no, a hawk would be insulted at being called a falcon (trust me I have many hawk friends), so that’s out of the question. But Falcon has cool wings and so does the Hornets logo. Close enough, rack ’em.

Jazz – Jessica JonesJessica Jones is a good show, but pretty much every other scene has her drinking more and more booze. Kind of like how the Jazz fans have to deal with their choice of fandom.

Kings – Professor X
Xavier is sort of, kind of the king of the X-Men. Whatever, go with it.

Knicks – Thing
The colors fit perfectly come on.

Lakers – Aquaman
Aquaman won’t be relevant again until the film is released in 2018, which is at least as long as it’ll take for the Lakers to do the same.

Magic – Dr. Strange
A superhero based around magic is probably a good fit for the Magic, wouldn’t you say?

Mavericks – Silver Surfer
The Silver Surfer is a big pawn for a giant planet eating tyrant with no regard for anyone’s opinions. Cough cough Mark Cuban. 

Nets – Black Widow
Honestly, there wasn’t much reasoning behind this choice outside the colors.

Nuggets – Nightcrawler
Same with this one. Colors and the letter N are the only meaningful connection. But hey, it looks cool.

Pacers – Punisher
YEAH I CHANGED THE COLORS SO SUE ME. IT LOOKED SILLY IN BLUE AND YELLOW.

Pelicans – Gambit
Gambit is from New Orleans, so there you have it.

Pistons – Iron Man
DETROIT. INDUSTRY AND MACHINERY.

Raptors – Spiderman
Spidey had to be on this list somewhere and nobody really fit the Raptors so yeah whatever, go get ’em, Spidey.

Rockets – Flash
ROCKETS MOVE VERY QUICKLY. Also the color red.

Spurs – Batman
For this Superman v Batman thing, I decided to pick the two best teams to represent Superman and Batman. So the Spurs are Batman.

Suns – Human Torch
I just really wanted to draw this logo. Also fire and all that. You could swap Human Torch for the Miami logo and put Ghost Rider here, and I wouldn’t hate you for it.

Thunder – Thor
Thor is the god of thunder.

Timberwolves – Wolverine
Wolves, man.

Warriors – Superman
As explained a few logos up, this year pretty much feels like it’s between the Spurs and the Warriors, so Batman v Superman. You might wonder why the Warriors are Superman, when obviously Batman is cooler and nobody really thinks the Spurs are “cool.” Well, it should be obvious. Superman is so head and shoulders above everyone else as a hero, to the point where he is kind of boring. Steph Curry is such an astounding scoring force that he’s turned the obscene into the routine and half of his threes aren’t even impressive anymore. We can argue all day about who could beat Superman, but let’s be real — nobody would actually beat Superman. Superman is a god who looks down on our pitiful human lives and considers us so pathetic that he has to save us.

Wizards – Wonder Woman

All of the W’s.

My Thoughts

These logos are pretty funny. I like the references. My favorites are Hellboy for the Chicago Bulls, Wolverine for the Timberwolves, Ghost Rider for the Miami Heat. I definitely don't agree with Batman logo for the Spurs and Deadpool for the Trail Blazers. They don't suit the teams in my opinion. I would have liked to see the hulk as the Celtics log though. These logos are a pretty creative way to put two of my favorite things together, basketball and comic book characters.

'Batman v Superman' gross revised down to $166.1 million

Final box-office figures took a little wind out of the sails of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice."

Warner Bros. on Monday revised down the film's weekend gross by $4 million, lowering it from the Sunday estimate of $170.1 million to $166.1 million. Such corrections are common, though the difference for "Batman v Superman" was slightly more than normal and had an effect on the film's place in the record books.

The movie's Easter weekend debut now drops a notch on the biggest North America openings ever list to seventh, sliding in behind "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2." That film's $169.2 million opening also retakes its place as Warner Bros.' top debut.

It's nevertheless a massive launch for "Batman v Superman," which set a record for biggest pre-summer debut despite withering reviews. It made an additional $254 million internationally.

Debuting 14 years after the hit original, Universal's "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2" performed above expectations over the weekend, opening with $17.9 million.

My Thoughts

I am not surprised that the movie did not meet the expectations of reviewers. No matter what it was predicted to make a lot of money because you have two legendary good superheroes facing off. I personally did not enjoy the movie and I was not at all impressed with the way the traditional characters were introduced. It changed the personality of the characters and people are used to the way the character traits originally were. I am a huge Marvel and DC fan and I was bothered and confused by the way the characters in this movie behaved. Batman does not use guns and I was disappointed that he was played out with those kinds of weapons. To me it wasn't a super hero movie. There was a lot of action but I did not enjoy it. I would not recommend it to friends and I certainly wouldn't add it to my DVD collection. The Deadpool movie was way better and was much more believable.

Police investigate several church break-ins

A Windsor police cruiser is seen in this file photo. 

Several break and enters at churches in central Windsor have prompted police to ask the public to report suspicious behaviour.

The Windsor Police Service is investigating after break-ins at about eight churches over the past two weeks, primarily overnight. At some churches, some cash was stolen, or small items. In several cases, nothing was taken.

“It looks like they were rummaging through, looking for money,” said Const. Andrew Drouillard.

He said the churches hit were mainly located between Howard and Pillette, and from Giles to Tecumseh. Drouillard said residents should be looking out for suspicious behaviour around churches all across the city, particularly after hours.

Police are also asking church members to remove money and valuables from the building when possible.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Windsor police at 519-255-6700 ext. 4350, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 519-258-8477 (TIPS) or online at catchcrooks.com.

My Opinion 

I find it pretty low that somebody would break into churches (Gods Home) to look for money or expensive items. If you were that desperate to get money wouldn't you go and apply you're self to get a job and make a living like everyone else in the world? The Windsor Police will eventually catch whoever it is since they have already broke into a few churches and will be spotted by a resident or church member. I am sure they will be charged with burglary, theft, and vandalism, . I really believe that it is not worth it to break into churches to find and make money, not only are there consequences but there are better ways to make a living. I was raised to be honest and not to steal. If you want or need something in life, work hard and make it happen. If you are struggling to survive or are in need, ask for help, don't result in criminal activities.

Bankruptcy court official calls for review of 50 Cent assets

HARTFORD, Conn. - A bankruptcy court official on Wednesday urged a federal judge in Connecticut to order an independent review of rapper 50 Cent's assets, after questions were raised about his financial reporting and photos of him with piles of cash were posted online.

Holley Claiborn, an attorney for the U.S. Trustee's Office, called on the judge to appoint an examiner to determine if 50 Cent, whose name is Curtis Jackson III, is fully reporting his assets and income in his bankruptcy case. The rapper's lawyers and his creditors' attorneys opposed Claiborn's request.

"If debtors are not held accountable ... then we don't have any public confidence in the system," Claiborn told Judge Ann Nevins in Hartford.

Nevins didn't rule on the request Wednesday. She scheduled a status conference for April 6, but could issue a decision before then.

Jackson was ordered by Nevins to appear at Wednesday's hearing to explain photos he posted on his Instagram page last year. They included ones of him sitting next to piles of cash arranged to spell "broke," him in a bed with wads of cash and cash stacks in a refrigerator.

Jackson, who wore a dark grey suit and didn't speak at the hearing, declined to comment afterward. His lawyers repeated Wednesday that the cash in the photos was fake and used just as marketing props to boost the rapper's brand and image.

On his Instagram page after the hearing, Jackson posted a photo of himself with a bag of M&M's and wads of what appears to be cash tucked halfway in the front of his pants. He wrote, "I went to court today and all I felt was love. They asked me about money I said I ain't got none, but if you want some m&m's here ya go."

Nevins also said she was concerned about discrepancies between Jackson's initial financial statements filed in August and recent financial statements he filed last month.

Claiborn added Jackson's income wasn't entirely clear, because of a lack of information about his limited liability corporations.

Jackson's lawyers, Patrick Neligan and James Berman, said they would provide more information to the trustee's office, and denied suggestions that Jackson wasn't fully reporting his assets or income.

Lawyers for Jackson's top creditors said they were confident about Jackson's financial statements. They reached a deal with the rapper for him to pay his debts and filed the plan in court Tuesday.

Jackson's lawyers say in court documents that the bankruptcy filing was the result of several factors, mainly a $17 million verdict against him in 2014 in a legal dispute over headphone products and a $7 million verdict against him last year in a lawsuit filed by a woman who said he posted her sex tape online without her permission.

In the bankruptcy case, Jackson is proposing to pay about $23 million in cash over five years as well as up to 70 per cent of any award he wins in a legal malpractice case against his lawyers in the lawsuit over the headphone products.

The $17 million and $7 million jury verdicts are lumped into a pool of unsecured claims totalling more than $31 million. Jackson is proposing to pay 74 per cent to 92 per cent of the unsecured claims, with the lower percentage depending on whether he meets certain payment deadlines.

Jackson skyrocketed to fame with the release of his debut album "Get Rich or Die Tryin" in 2003. The album was nominated for a Grammy and went on to sell more than 8 million copies.

New financial documents filed recently show Jackson has nearly $19.9 million in assets including his mansion in Farmington, Connecticut and $10.6 million in bank, brokerage and other financial accounts. The documents list $36 million in liabilities.

My Thoughts

A lot of rappers and musicians have had to file for bankruptcy. They have a hard time managing their money. Fifty Cent is being questioned about his finances because he is claiming he is broke but flashing his money through social media. I don't know why they think its cool or fashionable to flash their cash wads around or brag about them in public. I wouldn't want my finances to be discussed in the media. He probably could have avoided court proceedings if he kept quiet about his earnings. Eventually if you lie to the government they will find out and punish you. I know I wouldn't want to go to court and I definitely wouldn't want to be sued over something so stupid. I would want to keep my millions on lock down for the future.
