    As someone pointed out above, with RealGM, you can make up a workable trade in just a few minutes.

    Whoever posted the rumor may have just discovered RealGM from reading this board, and decided to pull a prank.

    In fact, he so readily admitted being from Finland that I wonder if he's just using some "anonymizer" to post via a site there.

    Ok all you munchkins and your damned realgm.com trade checker. Let me tell you why this trade doesn't work.

    A rookie can be signed and then they are unable to be traded until Dec 15th.

    The way around this is to not sign your rookies so you can S&T them.

    But neither Fizer NOR Crawford are signed and a team CANNOT S&T 2 players.


    This deal is bogus and Mika Hakkinen better stop posting on this board.

    Dr., rookies are traded after the draft every year, such as Langhi and Pryzbilla. How did that occur?

    I'm no capologist, but if the rookies aren't signed, their draft rights can be traded, and their draft rights have zero value?

    Capologists, correct me if I am wrong...

    You know what? If Mika really wanted to have some fun at our expense he could spoof his IP
    and post from Taiwan tommorow. [​IMG]

    Anyone with a reasonable knowledge of Internet knows how to do that.

    Though the part about getting to bed does provide some credibility, that´s why i mentioned it.

    Judging by the quality of his posts, he certainly seems capable of doing so.

    I am very offended by your insinuation that I would post from the Far East next. I will never update this room again with insider information.

    rockets have been working on a three way deal(I am neither confirming nor rejecting what bob says),but it still isn't a sure thing so I leave it at that.
    Two unsigned rookies can be traded(you just trade their rights),you don't have to do a sign and trade(francis trade).
    Bob is NOT in finland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I thought you were going to bed? Only a prankster would say he was going to bed, then stay up and moniter his prank.

    And as for never updating us again, thank you. I know I speak for a ton of readers when I say that speculation threads bore the hell out of me. If the trade happens, then we will discuss how we can utilize our new players. If it doesn't, then you will be exposed as a fraud. So stay away.

    No, not really.
    When Popeye f****d up by telling us about Cat (in late June), he posted something along the lines of "I'll never post again!" And then he materialized as someone else.
    So it's possible he's made use of Bob Rainey and got the hell out of Dodge. He doesn't need it anymore. He's wreaked his havoc.
    Of course, this could be nobody, but Clutch's post leaned more in the positive than negative direction.
    Guess we'll know in 1 to 4 weeks. By then, 500 posts.

    At least he is better than "turtle" Coulthard.
    As for the best driver ever, it has to Alain Prost.

    P.S. Grand-Prix is going to Indy!!!

    Did anyone else notice how this guy just brought up the facts mentioned by everyone else.

    Hey, these guys apparently think they will be short of a center. Maybe if I say Housotn will be in the market for a center also then theyll believe me more.

    Then pretend like the trade wont be happening anytime soon, which also doesnt make any sense if it is already worked out and nobody will remember in 4 weeks when nothing has happened.

    BS.

    Bob Rainey is Finn(*)ish.
    Anyone else think it's a conspiracy?

    I love all these wonderful rumors. I just don't think, er, know they won't happen.

    LOL

    I was waiting for someone to say that. However, I have nothing in common with Mr. Rainey other than our first names. Heck, I have never been to Mexico, much less Finland. If I were going to Europe, I could think of 100 other places I would visit other than Finland. Ireland being first stop, of course

    Oh my Gawd!

    I'm guilty of a terrible hideous crime against my fellow bethren!

    Shame on me! For my sarcasm has deemed us unworthy of the wisest sage that has ever spoken on basketball related matters with wisdom beyond compare!

    How can i ever make up to my fellow Rocket loving fans! I cannot!!!!!

    I shall punish myself accordingly!

    And just to let you know, i shall retaliate by boycotting ALL nokia products from now on!

    Hey Mika, Finn,Rainey, whatever you're calling yourself these days, thanks for a GREAT laugh [​IMG]

    Maybe Rainey is a GS fan trying to show how gullable we are ?
