    Great to hear Clutch. I knew there was nothing to be worried about the whole time. (You can look that up) Now the real fun, let's see how many other places use Clutch's news as their own "inside scoops".

    It almost happened until, you know, Odom was injured and has to sit through several weeks at least. Don't worry, we still have a chance to voice this whenever Ming does not do well during any single game while Odom happens to play well in any game.

    Clutch, I know you would have told us if you knew the precise date, but any idea when he'll actually join the team?

    Thank you very much Clutch! Was there any mention of the CBA sending the release to FIBA?

    Good work, Clutch.

    Ch 2 had a brief mention of this after showing the Rockets/Grizz highlights. Maybe their source is Clutch !! :)

    Everyone was saying that Ming would be signed after the Asian games. Now all in a sudden they try to have it wrapped up by Friday. Is the urgency to sign Ming in any way related to the slow season ticket renewals?

    Fox 26 is gonna have a mention about it coming up soon.

    I doubt this is the result of slow ticket sales. They've wanted to get this done asap all along.

    I can't find any sources/newspaper talking about this. I hope this is true, but...

    Ummm...Fox 26 just said that Ming is one step closer to wearing the Rocket red. Red? Our jerseys haven't been red for years. Are they giving us a scoop months ahead of time? :eek:

    I'd be in heaven. Damn that'd be great...back to the red and yellow of championship glory. It couldn't get any better than that.

    Clutch,

    nice scoop.

    one question. what does this have to do with getting a FIBA Clearance letter. My understanding in July was that this signing had already happened....I mean, that is what CD and Goldberg told us. They said the player contract was done and we awaited the CBA to clear him.

    So, how does a player contract agreement have anything necessarily to do with the CBA sending the required clearance letter to FIBA. Nothing happens without that.

    Who was it??? Voskuhl getting kicked out of the Suns camp, for reference.
