    I've always associated Pussyland with San Antonio. :)

    Get well soon, Oily.

    To all the new kids - oeilpere, AKA popeye is the greatest source in the history of clutchcity.net. He's broken more stories than anyone else ever, plus he has a great knack for giving a solid take on everything. Props to Doc Rocket, but pops is still the king.

    God bless, pops...

    Its obvious TPTB are attempting to silence oelipere.

    I say we round up some of the guys and go guard his hospital room.

    My read of <i>Marksburg</i> is to a noted castle in Germany.
    I think New Jersey has some castles.

    It could also be taken as a reference to the past immigration of people from Germany to the NJ - NY area.

    His call on the Zo deal seems on the money.

    That is by know means a no-brainer. You have to be a genus to figure out what you said. Maksburg has to be Dallas.

    I was thinking Dallas also. Markburg=Mark Cuban.

    However, Zo is reportedly going to Jersey.

    I totally missed a major storyline. (No not OP's)Zo and Mutumbo are buddies. Maybe, Zo talked Kidd into staying. What is SA going to do now? And to a lesser extent, what are the Nuggets and Jazz going to do?

    So kingdoms, phylums, classes, orders, families, and species can't figure out what Mango said, but genuses can? ;)

    But, it's also not beyond OP to put things out there that only a few can correctly decipher. Don't be so quick to bat down the notion...and Mango does know what he's talking about.

    OP - welcome back, thanks, and here's hoping that you get better quickly.

    It would be nice if this thread was straight to the point instead of in riddles. The part about zo,kidd and morris is already out, but i would like to know about the p....land and cat. It doesn't really matter, it will shake out like the other stuff. Its good to see you back though pops.

    thanks for the intro darkhorse. everybody's been thanking the guy and i've had no clue who he was. haven't been on here long enough i guess.

    anyway, thanks for the info... op? oily? or pops? oily sounds cooler. :cool:

    by the way... laterz, cuttino "pass me the ball some mo" bley. pussyland has to be the clips (disneyland=pussyland?). wasn't magette just offered something from denver or somewhere that the clips have the option to match? if so, won't that leave a spot open for cuttino? makes sense i think. :)

    piatkowski, jaric, miller, odom, or brand? hmmm...

    The info is gold in the summer doldrums as it has been for years.

    I wish you the best OP, you have always seemed a good person and you have done a lot for this boards, it's members, and the site.

    Get well soon, I look forward to reading your posts for years to come.

    Let me jump on here as well. Oeilpere is one of the greatest men in the entire world. He has kept me up nights dreaming up RIDICULOUS trade scenarios, made me check the BBS periodically (meaning every ten seconds) to see if he's said something else, and seems to enjoy raising my blood pressure from time to time.
    I love him. :)
    Good luck Pops, and, thanks again for the info--take care--

    Man I can't take the riddles! I've been teased with info and I must know what's going on. I definitely suspect we do a trade with the Clipps though - Brand would be the wildest dream come true.

    Toronto or Detroit.


    There has been some mention in this thread of Cat being demoted to Sixth Man status on the Rockets.

    I don't see him being happy in that situation, hence better to go elsewhere.

    It would be an uncomfortable situation for all involved.

    2/3rds gone? Sounds like a milestone on a project that is not quite finished.

    oeilpere get better. I hope every post from your friends here gets read to you. Impressive indeed.

    Re: your Cat info, the "who do we get" reference eluded me completely until I read something.

    So, do we get last year's player or the year before that?

    Oily,
    Long time no talk. Since last year I beleive?

    So far, so good...just a slight miss on number 3 (No Marksburg - they are just try'in to figure out what exit - Hello MeadowlandS!)

    Yea, I heard the Cat thing too. Looks like last year's possibility maybe reality....FINALLY!!!! God I hope so. I got crucified last year when that didn't come about. Thats cool with me. I would much rather be a force up front than sitting too long on a solid back court any day! Besides 2s are much easier to come by than rock solid 4s.

    2/3rds gone? 1/2 gone. Still one more of 4 I would love to see blow. Don't think that will happen though - just a bit hairy. Difficult contract to unload.

    What's up? Illness? Are you okay???? Hope nothing serious. Take care and keep up the good fight.

    gone!
