Dear Les,

As Rocket Fan of 26 years I'm begging you to blow it up and start all over. OKC will be the top team for years to come and battle LA Clips for supremacy in the Western conference for the next 5 years if Chris Paul reups with Clips. OKC created their team through the draft and trading for big men that block shots, rebound, and play tenacious defense. Please get what you can for Scola, Lowry, and Martin and move up and draft the youngsters that will allow us to compete in 3 to 5 years. We can wait, we've waited 17 years now. Imagine the youngster from Kentucky being available for the Rockets and then using the other 1st round pick to get a power forward or shooter to go with him

Last but not least please stop dreaming that Morey can actually lure a big time free agent (Dwight Howard) to Houston. Morey is what he is, a GM that's great at obtaining role players who may or may not contribute on a nightly basis.

Honestly.. I doubt it. They'll have a "brighter" future but I dont see them becoming better than us any time soon.

There is a 0% chance we will have better prospects than them if Morey continues to Stay The Course.

This would have been a great season to tank: short season, half the teams don't care, multiple picks.

Instead we'll keep riding the mediocre treadmill on and on and on.

I'm officially done with the Rocks after this game for a couple of days, my heart can't handle it..

Wasted so much time during the finals to stream their games, feels saddened and robbed.

I've been calling for this for 3 years now.

I wanted Wall and Irving and all we get is mediocrity.

Looks like I get to watch a 4th year of mediocrity..

Trading up high in the draft is mostly a pipedream. If it does happen a teams needs the right players, ie high upside or franchise player.

That is a 7th, 8th, or out of playoff or 12, 13, or 14th pick in the draft with us going no where> Sell off Martin, Lowry, and Scola, get some young PG and Big Man who produce consistently or has a tremendous upside.

Lee has to be the dumbest 2 guard in history, leaps out of the building and enjoys laying the ball up. Will not drive to the rim to finish at all.

Chase will not play D and if his shot isn't falling, it;s a wrap for him. No consistency

Dragic, go left, go left, go left some more, shoot a 3 as shot clock runs down.

NO post play besides Scola is non existent, double Scola he pass out (correctly) and then we shoot a bad 3 and the other team gets a layup or 3.
Patrick Patterson is scared to death of the block in the low post
Neither Camby or Dalembert has any post game and you would think McHale knows we need interior D and a post game to win with a team that doesn't get to the rim.

You don't start over with PF who can't dunk and shooting guard that is hurt more than healthy. You start over with Parson, Morris, Dragic, and Lowry who are all role/bench players. Not starters in the Western Conference.

Anyone blaming Morey is silly IMO.

He built a contender around Yao...Yao went down...

Now if Les would just give him the green light to go into a full rebuild I am betting he would...but he can't do it without getting the go ahead because then he'd be fired.

He is silly that he had no viable plan B.... Let's be honest. I love Yao but a sane mind could tell that his foot is made up of glass.....

He never traded Yao while his contract was covered by insurance....he just held onto him and let him expire as an asset...probably to protect Le$ reputation in Chian.

Tsk, tsk.
