    How long before the Rockets hire BimaThug? At least as a consultant :)

    Over/Under 1 year.

    For anyone who missed it, Craig Ackerman and Jason Friedman added a cool red visual effects graphic with their names on it, while Bima wore a "Hello, my name is..." sticker on his forehead. :grin: Lol jk, great Rocketcast, can't wait to see what happens next.

    Great talk! Special thanks to Bima, I think we all will not understand a lot of things without you

    Bima is that a Merano Ultimate Dress Shirt?

    I think I have the same one.

    Morey Rulz.

    Sry but there is tons of intricacies and nuances to these CBA discussions that would be hard to summarize. Pretty much everything is an option for the Rockets.

    Thanks, everyone, for watching. I appreciate all the kind words. I hope it was insightful and/or entertaining for many of you. Always love to join Jason and Craig. Those guys are great.

    Also, thanks to tallanvor and TexAg713 for posting (the link to) the Rocketscast. (I know it's an extra click or two, but please use the link to the Rockets' website to view the Rocketscast. While he hasn't said anything to me about it, I imagine that the web hits probably help Jason.)

    No clue. I got it at JCPenney. That's all I know.

    Sadly, the "receding hair line" look is completely involuntary.

    It's a hell of a thing, getting old.

    I'll tell ya what...as someone who likes to study the CBA, I think they could do alot worse than to hire Bima to their staff. I know Bima would probably laugh this off, but he knows his stuff and is probably as smart if not smarter than alot of folks holding down front office jobs.

    Great stuff David, and again...thanks for all the time and effort you give us to make this a better and smarter place.

    Lin's contract might make that improbable aim for two max signings impossible :(

    Go back several days to Hinkie's presser. Hinkie specifically acknowledged Asik's deal as the pinnacle of their successful free agency last year. You'd think he'd throw in Lin's name too even as a throw in while on topic but he didn't.

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/gKuDlpe9n4k?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Now from David Locke's videocast today, "Houston is built really well. Though, I'm not sure Lin is good enough for 8 million".

    He also has nice rundown on the market for free agents by position. The gist of it, PG & SG, especially PGs. There's so much available talent, "soft market". Then not many SFs this year, so likely to get overpaid. PF/C will get paid.

    Locke's video is a good complement to today's Rocketcast.


    A championship contending team in sight, yet...

    Well done Bima.

    You explained things clearly and concisely.

    Good luck with getting a job with the Rockets if that's what you want.
