If Morey had signed Lebron, Wade and Bosh, would you stop bein a Rockets fan?

What's your point? McGrady has raised a ton of money for charity. That doesn't change the fact he makes poor decisions.

And btw, "the decision" also put a hefty sum of money into the pockets of Lebron's friends.

Probably the same amount as Lebron James.

 

Would you stop being a rockets fan if D-Will was traded here instead of NJ?

 

Probably not.

He was the Jazz player I was least bothered by.....and his trade sent them into rebuild mode.

Then again....he dispute with Sloan kinda worries me.

I wouldn't mind the trade.....but hey when you begging for an all-star you really can't be choosers

 

interesting question bc as much as I hate lebron and bosh I wouldnt mind having them on my team obviously

 

I can't stand Lebron but if he came here I'm sure I'd still be a Rockets fan.

It sounds like hypocrisy but it really isn't. I don't have any problem with fans in Miami. They got lucky so they're entitled to enjoy it. I don't dislike Wade or Bosh or any of the other guys. It really all comes down to Lebron and the way he handled this mess. Sure, "the decision" was just one mistake. But for most people, the idea of doing something that insulting would never even enter their mind.

The Chuck comparison sums it up. Even if we won in '97, it could never be as sweet as '94 or '95 b/c of the way we brought Barkley in.

 

if those 3 were introduced in the toyota center the way they were in miami, dancing onstage like f***ing clowns to generic hip-hop music, w/ lasers and smoke machines and going on about how they were going to win 5 or 6 titles then i would stop being a rockets fan. i just couldnt support or cheer for such douchebags.

 

I'd be talking so much **** if the Rockets had Wade, LeBron, and Bosh. I'd want the most arrogant Rockets fan award. But now? Not quiet in my fandom, but nothing to really be excited about, tbh.

 

Weird. I think most of us would be in attendance dancing like ******* clowns.

 

I almost stopped being a Rockets fan when we got Pippen. Fortunately, he quit before too long.

I'd probably still be a fan, but I'd feel kind of ashamed. And like someone said, I'd feel dirty cheering alongside with all those transplanted bandwagoners fans.

 

Yeah right, I bet you would still be a fan if we would acquire Deron Williams

 

He addressed that in post # 43.

 

Morey wouldn't sign them, as he thought they would only win 45 games. lol

I guess people are forgetting the "Handing Morey the keys to there backdoor" thread, about what they would do or allow Morey to do them if he signed Lebron.

 

So everyone saying they would stop being a Rockets fan if those 3 joined our team are basically saying your loyalty/fandom to the team for however long it may be is preceded by your hate for only a couple of players?

If that is the case than you guys are clearly not die hard fans even though I could understand it being hard to root for those guys.

Here are some posts..

Morey if you are reading this, I hope you know that I will personally lick your balls for a year if lebron somehow lands in houston.

Im not sure a reward for getting us Lebron would be MANgina or a dude giving him a blow job. No, if Morey gets us Lebron Im kidnapping beyonce and leaving her naked on Morey's front lawn.

If we came from completely off the radar and somehow got LeBron James, I swear I will hunt Daryl Morey down and give him my anal virginity.

Realistically we arent getting him. If he does pull this off? I would owe Morey my left testical.

its a joke. calm down. no need to prove your heterosexuality.

on another note, i will personally blow daryl morey if he signs lebron james. any other rocket fan not willing to do so needs to reconsider his priorities and loyalties.

 

Not really sure what your point is other than to troll....

 

So, would we be fans if the Rockets landed 2 of the best players in the NBA and one of the best bigs? What kind of question is that? I still wouldnt like the way Lebron went about dissing Cleveland but i would still be cheering for our team in the NBA finals.

and i think Octaviunuts would lick your balls regardless of whether Morey managed to get Lebron.

 

I would probably care less about the sport if my favorite team eventually just amassed the best players in the league. I mean, it would be cool for the Rockets to win a bunch of championships, but I'm naturally drawn towards home-grown teams and underdogs, so it wouldn't feel right rooting for a team that got lucky and pulled in superstars. It would mean less to me to say "I'm a Rockets fan".

 

Did the OP start becoming a Heat fan for said reason?

Yeah, if that happened, my opinion on them as assclowns wouldn't change very much, but since said assclowns play for my team, I may as well root for them.

 

If we had these 3 as a Rocket, we also get Octavianus as a Rocket fan.

Is he the type of bandwagon fan you want licking your team's nuts?

That is the ultimate question, and I'm sure for some (like Tinman), they would average 50 posts a day trying to battle these bandwagoners for the real fan spot.

 

Really? This site has heaps of bandwagon fans, and it isn't a issue. YOF's Morey lovers to name a few. Doesn't seem to affect the board too much.
