    Has anyone brought up the idea yet of getting rid or having Dawson retire? For all of the blame Rudy T gets, I don't see many fingers pointing at Dawson. I'd like to see the Rockets put a solid GM guy in the front office. Then we could use a guy who is good at the Xs and Os on the court.

    Another suggestion might be trying to acquire Shane Battier if Jerry West still thinks lowly of him.

    Get rid of Dawson? The same guy who brought us Franics and Yao? Traded KT for a better Posey (imo)? The guy has made more better moves than bad.

    Why don't we go ahead and pull all our retired jerseys down from the Summit and burn them while we're at it.

    Can we at least give him a good booting for the Norris and Cato contracts? With a regular shoe, of course. :D

    The same guy who traded Najera for Langhi, or drafted Drew, and Turksan instead of Lewis, who failed to trade for Lewis this last summer because he didn't want to give up on Eddie.

    Or the same guy who drafted Collier......

    If Rudy goes so does CD, they have made some major mistakes in the last few years.

    Not getting Lewis not once but twice......trading 3 draft picks for EG....Jefferson anyone.

    Is Red Auerbach available?

    CD and Rudy settled down a disgruntled Hakeem, drafted Horry/Cassell, got Elie/Madmax for cheap, got Drexler, got Barkley to sign for $1m so we could land Pippen, turned Othella (a #29 pick) into a solid NBA player, drafted Mobes/Dickerson, got Mobley to sign for cheap, flipped Dickerson into Francis, drafted Kenny which produced Posey, got Francis to resign, converted Pryzbilla into a 1st round pick in a better draft, TMo looks like a 10-yr career 2nd rounder (that doesn't happen too much), talked Shandon and Maurice into signing way under market (at first), then had the class to make up for underpaying them later, got Marc Jackson to sign an offer sheet,

    and most importantly,,,

    this team is a family. We don't fight in public and they stick together. We are spoiled brats who forget that. This is not a disgruntled bunch of players bickering ... and that is directly tied to CD and Rudy.

    Over 11 years, all mgmt makes mistakes. They've made less. Look at Red Auerbach...he really screwed up with Rick Pitino. The great things they've done far outweigh the bad.

    we are just spoiled fans. imo, that's a fact.

    CD is one of the few established solids that we can rely upon!
