Jesus, dude, is this really necessary?!?!!? Having said that, yeah I think they'll make in a year or two.
We're the Clippers of the new melinnium, except for the fact our owner doesn't have the excuse of being a cheap ass....
how long is steve's contract? 7 years? so im thinking that by 2010 we should be "contending" for an 8th or dare i say 7th spot. WATCH OUT GOLDEN STATE! HERE WE COME!
Why a decade? How about the next century? Can the Rockets make the playoffs in 2103? How about a 1000 years from now? In the year 3003, will future generations be complaining on this BBS about Steve Francis XXV not being able to get the ball to Yao Ming XXII? But wait! Why stop there! Will the Rockets be contenders in a millenia? How about an eon from now? When the sun goes supernova and the universe finally collapses in on itself, will we finally make the playoffs?
Ahh, so you see the future as I do. After exorbitant contracts like those of KG, we'll slowly move onto "lifetime contracts" like college coaches have. Finally we'll have "Gene pool contracts" where anyone in a current player's gene pool must play for their forefather's team.
