Hey thanks for coming around and hanging out for a bit. Would like to read your thoughts on possible Rocket trade targets. Goran, Rondo, Rubio, Drummond, Bargnani, etc. Also, how do you feel about Beverley's pending restricted free agency? Do you really think Morey wants to risk losing him for nothing like Parsons if Beverley gets some kind of contract offer which makes him virtually untradeable going forward?
This is ironic. Funny you come on here blasting my post. You got me wrong. I have NO problem with reading what people have heard being bandied about, rumors, whatever. NOT AT ALL. I enjoy it. I KNOW Clutch has kept this thread open for a reason. But the thread is like the house you left in good condition only to return from vacation finding it vandalized. Except the vandals are still there trashing the place and the cops won't respond. But, by all means, let's keep the juvenile snarky "Chico" and "rumor website" and "soon!" and "pics or it didn't happen!" jokes going, and let's call Plowman a fraud, and let's have jtr (who should be above that sort of thing) jumping in saying how great they are, clapping his flippers ("ARF ARF ARF!"). See, HE'S one of the reasons that this thread has devolved so much. Used to be you could let people (I won't say "insiders" anymore) post what they'd heard from people close to the organization. Now it can't happen without "so-and-so is full of crap / a troll / not my hero anymore" posts appearing. Trade discussions seldom bear fruit. But at least we get an idea of the directions the Rox management and staff are thinking.
semantics at this point. Regardless of what this thread is titled, we all know what it is being used for and whether I think it worthy or you or anyone else, this thread is still being used by people and as such doesnt need all the extra crap. Because you were b****ing at the one person I knew for a FACT Morey talks to and was willing to share...but NOOOOO, yall had to be a bunch of stupid b****es to the one VERIFIED insider we had. So yes, you got my attention with that, but as BMoney said: Elvis has left the building! No, I was actually using your post as a place to start my b****ing at others, I agree with you for the most part.
Hey guys, insider here. Just wanted to leak some info from a credible source. We are not making a trade any time soon. Take this with a grain of salt.
He's around. To the best of my knowledge, he's not posting much because he chooses not to post much. Count me as someone who hopes he changes his mind and starts posting all over the place. -
He was posting alot in this thread at one time but then some folks were b*tching at him for no reason and he stopped posting.
As a poster - fine. As an insider - No None of this "I am close to someone at the top of the Rockets organization and we are in trade talks" yet no names mentioned or no timeline. Heck, knowing Morey he is constantly looking at trades and ways to upgrade. That's what his staff is paid to do.
Atleast when he says it we know SOMETHING is brewing. Better than all the made up nonsense in this thread.
I'm talking about Batman simply posting on the BBS, wherever he feels like posting. Honestly, I don't care if he posts in this thread, although I would certainly read his takes or his jokes if he decides to.
Lulz, I realized after I posted above I probably shouldnt have said that outright, but Batman will not come back in with any info after how he was treated in here, so its no big deal anymore. His close to the top source was Morey himself. Some of you guys are just flatout mental deficients
Strong words from the mod. I think the problem many of us had, was the "Dates" that were given. It comes off as pure guesses. But they keep dropping date after date with no result. Crying wolf so many times is going to cause pessimism. CyberX is well regarded here, because he has been spot on quite frequently. I think we all appreciate the info given, but the dates being thrown out there are what is causing issues with everyone.
This thread is supposed to be for entertainment value. Our very lives do not depend on whether someone speculates or hears/posts inaccurate information. Let's focus our heightened negative energy on **** that really matters, like injustice, abuse or poverty.
