    Surprised Steve Francis is not an option, of the players listed he and Mad Max are the most active Rockets followers/defenders based on social media. Steve will clap back at Rocket haters even after the horrific trades we just made.

    Could you imagine, he bought at 2.2B with Harden, CP3, Clint locked up and a ton of role players I would assume without Harden specifically this team is now worth closer to 1.6B without even considering if Covid will continue to impact revenue next season, if his casinos and restaurants do not bounce back we are looking at a sale very soon. He took out additional capital from Golden Nugget to fund the Rockets purchase. I am not sure if it will be disappointment or a triggered covenant on his loans and the bank giving him a call that force a sale.

    No, I don't think so.

    I chose Hakeem, but Yao would be fine, or Calvin in one of his best suits. Stevie Franchise for luck. Heck, even Christian Wood. Why not?
    Anyone, but a member of Fertitta's family. Well, maybe one of the members of his family who used to work the casino in Galveston back in the '50's would be OK, if one is still living. For luck.

    Surprised Bill Worrell wasn't an option or suggested. Could be final send off nationally.

    This was all I was thinking about, really.

    I'm pretty sure he's the one who's gonna do it too.

    They introduce all the other representatives, then the music hits...



    Yao returns. [​IMG]

    Adam Silver realizes his way back into China’s good graces is to get Yao the #1 pick for Houston. Great moment for the league.
