    Portland Trail Blazers owners need fire the coach or GM sooner, whoever is a problem first. They are really bad now, and addition of the cancer Melo would not a solution at all.

    There could be a lack of imagination for that.

    Les is in New York or Florida with the two trophies and house decorated with Chinese decor. @tinman

    I heard he has Yao and Zhou locked down in his basement next to the trophys and Dragic's Dynex.

    Sure, but they've also got James Dolan making all sort of idiotic demands of his GM. Comparing nearly any franchise to the Knicks is pretty pointless.

    The Rockets have a GM who has proven to be pretty adept at personnel moves and team-building, but now finds himself forced to look in the discount bins to try to find quality rotation pieces.

    That dude stole that trophy that Hakeem and friends won for Houston and put it in Florida.

    All people who like Les are traitors to Houston, and deserve to be deported to Gainesville.

    Les is garbage.

    You don't like Tilman? guess who sold it to him?

    Don't forget Charles Barkley's 3 million dollars that were stiffed from him by Les.

    Probably used to fund massage parlors with his pal Robert Kraft.

    Portland isn't nearly as bad as they seem right now. They've played 5 home and 12 away games, the most lopsided schedule in the entire league. Even those up* and you'd have a .500 team. Still a disappointment based on last year, but not a complete failure.

    * Figuratively speaking. I know it's an odd number total.

    There is no tanking. Stupid(Tilman) gave away two picks and two pick swaps for a worse contract and player.

    If Les Alexander was here

    Daryl Morey would be in concentration camps with the Muslim Chinese people

    And the Classic Jerseys that all of you claim to love wouldn't see daylight like Dracula.

    Tilman is not a team owner, he is a team sharecropper.

    The rockets made the trade for CP3 first, and then had to pay nearly max for the center position. There is no much money left after Harden, WB and Capela salaries.

    Les sold the team before paying CP3. Everything was planned well to price up his team for a higher price, then let new owner pay the money.

    I’ve said this before but when Harden, Westbrook & Capela eat up 90% of payroll your bench is gonna be scrubs.

    One more thing for Les. Les refused to spend the MLE or LLE whatever (3 to 5M$) during the year of the rockets vs Jazz series, then the rockets only had Luther Head for shooting guard who missed 12 shots from 13, then the rockets lost the game 5 due to the Yao's rebound. All people blamed Yao's rebound problem, no one talked about only three players Tmac, Yao and Head scored the points.

    i was just thinking exactly this an hour ago. smh

    meanwhile, morey's recent IG post portends that the key to countering the doubling of harden.... is eric gordon. that is our solution. do nothing and wait till 2020 for him to come back. OneMission -- to stay under the lux tax line

    Only issue I have with you post is the fact that we couldn’t afford any of those players on your list due to cap constraints they were all priced out of our reach.
