    And where did I disagree with you or not? It might do you good to actually consider my question and think it through. Am I disagreeing with you, and where, or do we actual agree?

    Food for thought.

    @Mathrocker @FTW Rockets FTW should really push this and continue to call member #1 a hypocrite.

    A great outcome will be had for all in the GARM.

    Lost in all of this is: how cool it would be for Maxwell to be an owner? Jordan and Vernon at the owners meetings would be gold.

    Imagine if all the players on the championship roster got to own a piece of the team.

    Someone telling @heypartner about @Clutch ?

    That's like someone telling Snoop Dogg about Dr Dre

    I guess we have to ban whoever started all of the photoshop threads because those contain jokes.

    Listen, it is reading comprehension 101. Clutch says he will ban fake news, and that the forum isn't the place to post your fake news joke thread. The use of the word joke clearly pertains to those who think it is funny to post fake news, i.e. "We just traded for Carmelo".

    A parody thread can only be viewed as fake news by the extremely dense posters who don't catch on. As such, it is not the sort of joke that Clutch referred to in his post with respect to dicks who enjoy tricking people.

    To read it out of context ignores the fact that there are clear joke threads in the GARM that everyone is cool with.

    Nah, he said there is no truth to that. At the moment, he's too busy starting up his big ass Gordita restaurant chain.

    You can make such jokes inside existing treads like the guys above did. The reason why Clutch had to step in was too many people thought it's cool to create fake news/joke thread, so the forum was FILLED with made up threads. If Clutch didn't step in I bet you there would have been 8 more thread just like this one, and that would be stupid.

    Kind of amazing the money we're talking about. If all of the 43,000+ total members here put up $10,000 each, we wouldn't even come close. If ClutchFans wanted to buy the Rockets, all the members (including the socks) would need to put up about $50,000 each, which would get us to around $2 billion. $70,000 each gets us to $3 billion. The problem with that is we'd all want seats, so ticket revenue would plummet. We'd also have to renegotiate with Maury who would take us to the cleaners and demand autonomy over the roster development, which would piss off a huge number of GARMers who would want to make trades all the time.

    And Tom Hanks masterfully executing that "stupid is as stupid does" Forrest Gump line is also a reminder to never go full r****d in the GARM, like some are in this thread.
