    Complete this sentence....

    You know your offseason blows when


    Here are a few..

    1. when you wind up with threads like this one.

    2. when Mike Friggin James is your prime free agent target

    3. when Mike Friggin James is your prime free agent target and he holds your team hostage over a grudge he says he doesn't have.

    4. when Dallas winds up with Mike Friggin James instead of you. (my prediction)

    When Dallas is further over the cap than you and drafts further down than you and still manages to get more new talent on their roster than you.

    When you're praying for and banking on a 34 year old Bobby Sura who looks like a duck and now probably runs like a duck to be your savior to the promised land.

    1. When Malick "Badman" Badiane is not on your summer league roster - how dare Thibodauex and CD.

    2. When Juwan Howard is still on your roster (Tinman, that was for you)

    3. When your summer league team goes undefeated, again.

    You have pulled up Clutchfans at the office every 5 minutes thinking (hoping) that we have added Mike James to the team.

    x. Getting rid of a bargain commodity like James for an unwanted Alston while adding Derek Anderson & Stromile Swift and ruining the season and the following summer.

    When you give away your number 1 pick and your MLE from the previous summer for 1 player whi is not a superstar.

    Definetly amen. And when you're refreshing ESPN to see if Mike James + Houston Rockets make the "breaking news section" of his signing, which probably won't happen because he's not THAT important... :p

    Nice thread. How about we count 'em off, as the OP might have suggested, and keeping with the format of the legendary "you might be a rockets fan if..." thread.

    By my count, there have been 15 before.

    16. When you consider taking out a full-page ad in the Houston Chronicle to admonish your favorite team.

    17. People are actually entertaining the idea of bringing over V-span as a starter.
