    Dont have time right now, but there have been several threads that popped up over the years that were created to see how many members we have from other countries.....and it was a lot more than you would expect.

    I have been following the Rockets since they moved to Houston from San Diego and I live in Houston (actually the suburbs, Klien - Spring).

    "I wonder how many rocket fans actually live in Houston on clutchfans...I'm assuming its quite a bit but it seems its a lot of other states and countries as well "

    I would assume most of the people on clutch fans are from Houston... I for one was born downtown and have lived my whole life (22) in the suburbs.... frequenting Rockets and Astros games are my oldest memories... dat astro dome.

    Stone Cold was always one of my favorites. He knew his role. Except in this case looks like he's being a roody poo.

    Like R2K said, there are members from literally all over the world. There are many Rockets fans who grew up in Houston, and live in other cities in Texas. I've lived in Austin for over 30 years now (and Clutch lived in Austin for a few years, I think), but was born and raised in Houston, as were most of my extended family, many still living in and around Houston. My sister, a long time Rockets fan, lives in League City. My nephew, an ardent fan, works for NASA. You get the picture. One of the great things about Houston, and ClutchFans, is that diversity. :)-

    As of right now, it is a straight up signing with cap space.

    The Lakers have been claiming all off-season that they arent interested in SnT....but you never know, maybe they do, maybe they dont.

    but the only facts we know right now is a FA signing.

    sorry to ask this, I was away from the 3rd through the 8th during the majority of the moratorium and now signing period.



    but why is the DH press conference pending the jrue holiday deal, or vice versa?

    is it because of our trade with Philly and Royce White?

    As explained to me...

    Philly has to complete the holiday deal to free up the space to take on Royce White which then frees up our cap to sign Dwight.

    hope that's right.

    Yes, We need the Royce trade to go through to have the cap room to offer Dwight the max, and the 76ers need the Jrue trade to New Orleans to go through before the Royce trade for some reason, but Jrue was on his honeymoon.

    Everyone connected with the Rockets are afraid that if they sneeze, Stern's going to fine them $150,000. Even the janitorial staff. They're taking no chances.
