(1) Sluggish,but a win is a win (2) oh,oh ... oh,no ... not again

the search on here is still down, but here are 4 pages google pulled up containing posts from oeilpere. not all started by him, but he does have a history on this forum.

 

He said "to the setting sun" which means any team west of Houston.

We are all "aging".. so it could be any african player (from another squad).

He also mentioned LA LA land and sparks (WNBA sucks) and hinted at the Kobe no-trade clause.

He also mentioned that he did not like the trade so we'd have to be giving up something pretty big (yao or tmac). Yao has been "complaining" about the RA offense.

Possible Hou/Chi/LAL trade:
Hou Trades:
Yao
Battier (moved to make room for Tmac/Kobe combo)
2007 1st round pick + more picks
(fillers to fulfil trade)

Hou Receives:
Kobe Bryant
Ben Wallace

LAL Trade:
Kobe Bryant
Odom

LAL Receive:
Gordon
Deng (AFRICAN!!)
Tyrus Thomas
Joakim Noah
(filler)
Picks galore

Chi Trades:
Gordon
Deng
Tyrus Thomas
Joakim Noah
Ben Wallace
Picks

Chi Receives:
Yao
Battier
Odom
(filler)

Although this would be madness. The Bulls would get Yao. Losing Yao's merchandise sales would hurt their "pockets" for a long long time. Ben Wallace's contract is also very long term.

Lakers get to completely reload with picks and crazy amounts of talent.

Bulls get the #1 center in the league and would instantly become a force in the east. However, I think there is something missing here like another team giving the bulls more incentive to do this trade.

Rockets get a super version of denver. Kobe and Tmac at the 2/3.

PG: MJ/Rafer/SF3 (does it really matter?)
SG: Kobe
SF: Tmac
PF: Scola
C: Ben Wallace

Statistically (hello daryl morey), this team should be unbeatable even if we have half the depth on the bench as we have now.

Ah... if only i were right I would miss Yao

 

Here is a quote I found in one of the 2005 threads regarding oeilpere aka popeye (being away from any Clutchfans BBS activity for a few years):

 

no way les pays the lux tax, with those 3 contracts it's a sure thing. but that would indeed be a stacked starting 5.

 

He is a proven insider, predicting a number of deals accurately. Others that didn't happen often showed up on the chron later as deals that were in the works but didn't happen.

 

Kurt Thomas?

 

wow interesting

 

What about the significance of "Trade Mark" in the first post?

Whose name is Mark?

 

pleeeeeeeeease can we be less in the dark. i would really love to know if something huge is going down.

 

He was walking around a mall in Houston (can't remember which one) and overheard the Francis deal being talked about by management types with the Rocks, reported it to the board, and everyone thought he was nuts. Popeye called the trade and BOOM, the impossible happened and we got Franchise. Without search, I can't dig up these threads. I was lurking at the time and avidly reading the BBS.

 

Mark Cuban?

 

Trade Mark = Tracy McGrady

Only thing that doesn't make sense to me is the that the team seems to have chemistry, why disrupt it?

 

Was that Popeye? I though he just had an in with Rudy.

 

Walking around the mall? No.

 

he had an in with rudy because he is rudy


i've got a few hrs to kill, ill see if i can dig it up in the archives.

 

POPS !!!

HOLY COW !!!!

Welcome back, I hope you are well.

DD

 

NBA Marks I can think of...

Mark Blount
Mark Price
Mark Strickland
Mark Cuban
Mark Aguirre

 

A mark is also someone you're looking to shaft.

 

Hi Pops,

hardwood here..good to find you well and the game afoot once again.

People,THIS is what makes Clutchcity/Clutchfans such a special place.

It sounds like a star with a backloaded deal?!?!

 

Doesn't it seem strange that TMac's initials are replaced with Trade?? Mark? Is TMac and Coach A fighting?
