    How many other teams outside of LA have had as much interesting and good news about their team over the last ten years as Houston? Just think of all the things ClutchCity has gotten to cover!

    Back to back championships
    trade for Clyde Drexler
    trade for Charles Barkley
    trade for Scottie Pippen
    trade for Steve Francis
    almost trade for Damon Stoudamire (others?)
    loss of Hakeen Olajuwan
    #1 pick out of nowhere and selection of Yao Ming
    loss of Rudy T and welcome for JVG
    trade for TMac

    True superstars just don't change hands all that often and we have seen 6 come in (assuming TMac) and a bunch leave during the last ten years.

    As we go through this McGrady stuff, just wanted to remind every how truly blessed we are to have a great site like this and a fascinating team to watch with ownership who seems to always be trying to get back to the Finals. It is not easy to get deals the magnitude of this done, and our guys seem to do it on a regular basis.

    Great post. Sometimes around here, we forget how fortunate we've been.

    In the last 21 years, only SIX teams have won NBA championships, and we're one of them.

    Scottie Pippen is no true superstar.

    You are kidding, right? He is a sure fire HOFer. Not a superstar? What is your definition?

    Yes, I understand he sucked while with us, but the guy was a superstar by every definition of the word when we picked him up.
