    I'm so tired of reading about Rashard that I'm ready to trade him and we don't even have him yet! Free agency started 8 days ago and we haven't even brought any body in to talk as far as I've heard.Let us know if the Rockets have.

    My sources tell me Michael Jordan will be flying into Houston tonight to meet with Rudy, Les, and Chuckles. You heard me right- my sources have confirmed Charles Barkley is going to be signed to another one year contract! No terms have been disclosed on Jordan's possible deal...

    WE WILL WATCH THEM FALL... next year, at least. :(

    And my sources (cough,cough) have told (whispered) me Clyde Drexler is coming out of retirement to play alongside Dream in his final season.

    Projected lineup:

    C-Dream
    PF-Barkley
    SF-Drexler
    SG-Jordan
    PG-Francis

    Sorry guys, my sources say that Olajuwon and Stockton was shipped to Vancouver for Stromile Swift, Michael Dickerson, and Mike Bibby, then Houston sent Dickerson and Bryce Drew to Portland for Scottie Pippen.

    Center- Swift
    Power Forward- Chucky
    Small Forward- Glide
    Shooting Guard- MJ
    Point Forward- Pippen

    Actually, the skilled white guy was me, but I turned down the deal that was offered. Could you believe the Rockets had the audacity to offer me the $1.1 million exception? Like a guy could really live on that.

    The Rockets are in heated discussions with Orlando and Detriot. [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Now that it seems everyone thinks Rockets blew their picks, you can start reading TDS' 2001 Draft Previews...

    man, y'alls sources are all wrong. I've got a *cough* source that says we are gonna send bullard/drew/and pig miller and a #2 for kobe and shaq.
    Now, before you laugh, listen to my reasoning. The Lakers need a shooter to replace Rice (Bullard is as athletic, is taller, and their defense is a wash), they need a rugged PF who can rebound (Pig), and a pg who can shoot. Make fun of Drew all you want, but he can shoot much better than Fisher, just ask Miss. St.
    Knight who is 7 foot, and may be left handed, steps into replace shaq. And Hightower, who has as good a handle as Kobe and who has beaten Mcgrady one-on-one several times, replaces Kobe.
    Both teams improve, my source says.

    But the big trade rumor is that Lousville is going to trade money for our team.

    Poll I saw recently says the Ref. wouldn't pass [​IMG]

    I heard that the Rocket's aren't happy with next year's draft because the only white guy worth picking is troy murphy. So my "sources" say that Houston wants to trade both their picks to the Clippers for Keith Closs.I belive that Houston is trying to compile a "White All-Star Team". Dream, Chuckster, and Jordan will all be in deals. Here's the final product-

    C ARvydas Sabonis,Kieth Closs

    PF Christian Laettner( out of retiremeent also, I think), Jason Collier

    SF Keith Van Horny, Matt Bullard

    SG Hornacek (out of retirement),Bryce Drew

    PG John Stockton, Brent Barry

    Next year's lineup will be:

    C = Cato
    PF = Duncan
    SF = Hill
    SG = Anderson
    PG = Norris or Drew

    -or-

    C = Cato
    PF = Orlando
    SF = Williams
    SG = Anderson
    PG = Francis

    whichever is easier to put together. [​IMG]
