    um, perhaps i'm an idiot, but how the heck is a 10% chance of getting duncan a realistic chance of getting duncan?

    is a 10% chance of meeting cyndi lauper in the super market a realistic chance of meeting cyndi lauper in the super market?

    let me know, cause if you say yes, i'm off to get some groceries baby!!!

    ...and furthermore, why on earth wouuld releasing mobley attract duncan here? that makes negative sense. if anything, keeping mobley would make duncan want to play here. [​IMG]

    WHAM! So you are George Michael. If there is a 10% chance of me trading for your butt, I'd have a realistic shot at Cyndi Lauper.

    I see a parallel here...
    • Cyndi Lauper = One-hit wonder
    • Cato = one-game wonder
    BTW...what the hell is the point of contemplating a 10% chance of getting TD??

    I would rather dream of a 100% chance of getting TD. [​IMG]


    BTW BTW...Cyndi Lauper was a fashion victim from the 80's that was best known for the song "Girls just wanna have fun"
    Rockets03 you just showed your age there... [​IMG]

    The Playoffs will suck with no Rockets in them!!

    Actually, I think Cyndi Lauper had three hits, but I digress.

    Let's see, we release Mobley and receive in return a 10% chance to get Duncan??

    In one word, NO. Now if we had a 90% chance to get him, then I might sleep on it.

    No, Rockets2K, you just showed YOUR age. I -- unfortunately -- also know who Cindi Lauper is.

    But, to the question: I don't think I would release Drew for a 10% shot at Duncan.

    Cyndi Lauper was NOT a one-hit wonder.

    "Time After Time"
    "She-bop"
    "True Colors"
    "GJWHF"

    Remember the song from the "Goonies" movie?

    She was practically a hit machine.

    I agree with The Freak,

    Cindy Lauper was definitely not a One-hit wonder--

    BTW, I like that song from The Goonies. =D

    p.s. HP, what does "pushing fabr to the bottom" mean? i'm confused.

    But..if you named off those songs to most normal people...they probably would not recognize them
    Yeah Juan..I did...but if I REALLy wanted to show my age...I would talk about my original Moody Blues LP or the original press Deep Purple LP I bought in 1972.(DAMN,I'm how old?) Sorry for the off-topic.:O

    BTW..pushin fbr down...is tryin to push a poster's many topics down the list....Namely "FrancisandBarkleyRules"

    Uh... I agree with TheFreak. (That felt dirty [​IMG] )

    Time After Time was Lauper's first hit. True Colors was a good one too, the other songs, I could do without.

    Oh wait, I think it's a dumb question to ask if we'd release Mobley, if it meant there was a 10% chance of landing TD. Even if it were an option, no one would ever do it... ever. Nothing personal, just a bad question.

    cindy lauper was a poor man's madonna (really poor man's). Like how detlef is a poor man's larry bird.

    btw, i wouldnt release matt bullard for a 10 percent shot at duncan.

    don't go frontin' on Cyndi's timeless hits, such as:

    CD and RudyT to Cato: I see your true colors shining through

    Charles to Steve Francis on his 8 tos: Time After Time

    Moochie and Matt Bullard duet: Girls just wanna have fun.

    10%? Hell no.

    50%? I'd roll the dice.

    But only if Cat was an unrestricted free agent. Otherwise, someone steals him while we're getting Duncan. Then the whole deal fals apart...

    Stevie + Tim + Cat = Championships out the kazoo...

    Rockets2K will now ignore any future Cyndi responses

    But back to the topic in question........
    I actually will agree with gr8....Would rather trade Cato,Drew,C.Rogers to get a 99.9% chance of gettin Duncan.
