    Would still be a Rockets fan. However, I'd probably cry a little.

    Never. Even a Luka level debacle wouldn’t lose me (obviously I’d be pissed)

    This is a dumb question...

    Rockets over any one player!

    (plus I have it on good authority that my favorite player (AMEN) it the only untouchable on the team, so it's moot anyway...) :p

    This is all rumor mill, nothing has come out publicly, from my understanding based on the exit interview with Gm and coach team is succeeding and they have no interest in dismantling a young core who got to 2nd seed, and took gsw team to 7 games.

    There only mention due to young assets and moving parts picks teams might really want.

    Who knows thou once draft is here next month.

    It was Bill Worrell for me - once he was as gone, that was it. I’m done.

    Been here going on 26 years, which should answer the question.

    Been an Astros fan since I first knew what baseball was even though they traded my favorite player, Joe Morgan.

    Oilers fan for life. Do not follow the NFL at all anymore and question both the morality and intelligence of any Houston area native over 35 who is now a Texan fan. You all disgust me and I will hate Bud Adams until I join him in the grave. If he had lived longer than me, I would have haunted him until he was welcomed by Beelzebub in Hell, where he surely now resides.

    TRADE JALEN GREEN. I would be fine with a late second round pick at this point.

    What is the point of this thread? Do you want all the Turkish posters to come in here and write "no"?

    Its just a GENERAL question, not geared towards anyone in particular. However, since all of the rumors are out there, just wanted to know TRUE Rocket fans, from POFs (Player Only Fans)

    Are you not a player online fan? Or are you just messing around?

    Rockets fan for life - however, I became detached for a season or two when we traded Steve/Cuttino to the Magic for T-Mac..."The Franchise" was my favorite player as a kid so I followed him to the Magic for a couple of seasons, but my heart was still beeping Rockets

    Rockets first and foremost, at all times. No player is above the team.

    I got tested to leave when the Rockets traded my favorite player as a kid, Moses Malone. He went on to win a ring with the 76ers and i was happy he won one…40+ years later and im still a Rockets fan.

    Of course I would, although I might hate management for years. I was very unhappy when Moses Malone, my favorite player, was given away to the Sixers in a salary dump by our new ownership, although the Twin Towers and the greatness that was Olajuwon likely wouldn't have happened for us had he remained with the Rockets. I hadn't a clue that we would pull that off at the time. Of course, given good management, we might have won a championship with Mr. Malone. Philadelphia won a championship thanks to him.

    How do you forget about those trades? They are probably the most consequential in team history.

    lol. There are a few trades I WANT to forget about, but that’s a different story.

    My biggest fear is that Stone turns into a pearl clutcher who loves his draft picks and because of that, we sit tight with players that don't fit and will never win together.

    Turnover is necessary and needed.
