    We are extremely fortunate to have the owner, coach, and general manager that we do, but Les cuts the checks, and it all starts with him. He hires top rated coaches. He took a very shrewed gamble on a stats geek, and he gives that geek the expensive resources needed to do his job. He's also agreed to go over the cap in order to land another star. He is the best owner Houston has ever had.

    Thanks Les.

    Thanks for raising prices for the 2010-2011 season also!!

    Was great that there was no mention of the increase in the price on the invoice either.

    Les,

    What are your plans for acquiring help for the team this off-season?

    That's what prompted me to start the thread. We're lucky to have Les as an owner. It's that simple.

    Really warms the heart. Drafting is the key to being a good team consistently.

    Les has really been stepping up to the plate and trying to field a winner. We're lucky to have him as an owner. (So spend MORE MONEY!!!)

    We have one of the best and underated owners in the league. I like that he is low key and doesn't do too much talking. He has the heart of the champion, and we are surely heading back to the path of being a champion.

    Les + Morey = Many rings!

    With the 6 mill he spent last summer for 2nd round picks, now this, IMO, if we don't see results in the next coming years, Alexander will be pissed at Morey.

    Not if they build around Yao they won't. You can't trust anymore with his injury history.

    I think it's been mentioned that they will continue to build this team as if Yao was not coming back, I agree they cannot build this team around Yao, but we can just hope Yao can be a piece of the puzzle now...
