    I hope the Rockets don't blow it by helping to bail out the Lakers.

    Yea I hope we don't either. We have $53,396,116 in contracts through next season with $20,616,341 with a team option though.

    Kyle Lowry, Chandler Parsons, Patrick Patterson, Courtney Lee, Goran Dragic and Chase Budinger

    Assets ordered by their value?

    Looks about right. Parsons worth so much already...

    Morris is young all right, debatable for talented, not in core for sure.

    Parsons (#38 drafted) vs Morris (#14)
    Budinger(#44) vs Thabeet(#2), Flynn(#6), Hill (#8), T-will(#11) (total of 37 with four guys :)

    it seems that second round pick is more valuable, maybe we swap that first round pick we got from Lakers to a second round and some good cash :)

    I think it is better that I don't respond to this. I am not in the mood.

    Either this guy is very delusional or incredibly dishonest.

    I don't doubt DM saw the writing on the wall and pushed hard to unload them, one way or another.

    Nice read. Too bad Les didn't write it, but had an unpaid intern write it. If Les had written it, it would have been full of hyperbole about having assembled one of the greatest teams of all time that will win many championships.

    Les must have been listening to Cuban in the B.S. report for the Sloan conference.

    Pretty much regurgitates what Cuban said, except it sounds more rehearsed than earnest.

    It gives me a sick feeling looking at that photo and being reminded of how low these Rockets have sunk. Even expectations and the culture of mediocrity has afflicted so many that relatively insignificant moves by the team is greeted with great fanfare and fervor.

    How I long for those great days from Malone, Murphy, Sampson to Hakeem, heck even for Francis and Yao.

    Alexander's letter is full of rehashed bs. He needs to step up and change the Rockets mind set by cleaning house.

    And nothing about new uniforms. For shame.
