    I'm only cynical when it comes to the Rockets offseason. Now the regular season could be four guys from the Y and James Harden and I'm like "Harden is getting that ring, DPOY, MVP, and FMVP!"

    Well, the Rockets offseason in 2018 sucked that is for sure. But in 2017 they added CP3 + PJ Tucker + Luc Mbah A Moute. That was a home run summer that culminated in a 65 win season. So perhaps Summer 2019 will align with that.

    Haha I hope you're right. I won't dash or scold your hope because of my pessimism, because if it's misplaced pessimism I will gladly eat some crow.

    I only care about the detailed out plan of the 'logistics' y'all are talking about.

    I hope they can lay it out step by step.........

    Crap

    This means we are NOT getting Butler

    Anything Turd Brown touches or says does not come to fruition.

    can you imagine what it is like to have this sort of power? I mean something you probably spent 3-4 seconds doing will spurs countless hours of discussions all over the NBA landscape (or any other area for that matter depending on where your sphere of influence is)

    I would love to be in that position to do it for fun. I would totally start following for example Butler and TJ McDonnell and stop following Chris Paul just to see the reactions and talking heads the next day.

    NBA players on Twitter tweet those "Eyes" emoji all the time to F with people. Crazy.

    That's troll type behavior, Yoyo. You're better than that.

    Unlikely since the owner has changed.. the new owner chose to break the team without fair replacement that almost had done the job ( if not for injury and biased officiating)... if you don't care about winning with a 65 win team and chose to downgrade it rather than upgrading...then it is unlikely he'll care much ever.

    Brown said to expect fireworks and now this.. unless he likes to have egg on his face this is a positive sign imo.

    He's a battered housewife.. he keeps coming back for more. The distaste for the front office has made him grumpy

    That is because we do.

    There is something like this for everyone from Carmelo Anthony.... to Chris Bosh..... to LaMarcus Aldridge.... to Dwight Howard.

    It is worth a thread and OP is very measured in his posts/opinions.

    I am just of the opinion that I will believe it when I see it, it is a real long shot for a host of reasons.

    Did he follow those guys on social media while we were pursuing them ? Honest question. If so, there really is nothing to see here.

    Morey has followed others before.

    I don't think Tad following Butler is necessarily a sign he's coming. Tad is doing exactly what he needs to do. Generate buzz around the team when we are completely capped out and very few ways to improve the roster.

    Morey is a creative genius and will find a way to get us guys who shock us this year. He doesn't completely botch two off seasons in a row. It just hasn't happened before.

    But we are pretty handcuffed and Butler is the only established free agent star that is remotely possible. Tilman definitely asked Tad to get the narrative going. It's why he said fireworks. It's why he is following him.
