    I'd just like to take this opportunity to say that Amin Elhassan can go suck a lemon.

    Amin Elhassan is Public Douchery #1. Guy has spent the last however many seasons as a major Steph Curry nut-hugger. I don't know if he's changed his tune at all but I never could stand him.

    There should be a marketing class run by Morey, it wasn''t too long ago folks said nobody would step near this culture. More Media. More Press. More genius.

    Hadn't thought about that, but superstars make a substantial amount of their money from endorsement deals. That income is taxable, too.

    Cali's top-level tax rate is 13.3%. Take Harden's $200M Addidas deal -- that's nearly $27M in taxes he'd be giving up if his primary residence were in LA.

    Franchise record for a season is 58 wins. That's obviously less than San Antonio and Dallas have ever had, so if Morey is aiming for 60 he's also aiming for the best regular season in Rockets history.

    Since the warriors tho 60 wins just ain't what it used to be.

    I don't think Nene is signed at this time but they hope to bring him back.

    I'll be surprised if he isn't back, B-Bob. Maybe with the bi-annual exception? I think we've got that at close to $4 million. Definitely worth it.

    Right. I'm just saying when he said he had six players on the roster he wasn't probably including Nene.

    I am loving so much how every single podcast I listen to is dominated by Rockets talk right now. We won 55 games last season and the national media still barely talked about the Rockets. They would talk about Harden and the MVP race, but that's about it. SOOOOO much Rockets talk now though. Now I know what it feels like to be a Lakers fan.

    Agree. Nene signing again will likely be one of the last shoes to drop.
