    on the front page of clutchcity.net the following Retro blurb is mentioned:

    "July 30, 1993: Les Alexander rides into town
    On this day in 1993, Les Alexander rode into town and bought the Rockets from Charlie Thomas, who had a successful tenure but had its dry moments. Alexander didn't waste any time, winning two championships in his first two seasons. But his greatest move came just 3 days after purchasing the club…"

    i know i'm probably an idiot for not remembering but what did Les do 3 days after purchasing the club?

    thanks in advance

    Is that when he signed Rudy T to coach the Rockets?

    He traded a 2nd round pick to Portland for Mario Elie.

    Ahh, that would explain why Clutch thought it was his greatest move! [​IMG]

    Ha, ha. That's pretty funny, I had the same question last night when I saw the quote before I went to bed. I just had to know what the rest of the sentence said. I figured it out with some internet searches. Good to hear I wasn't the only one who HAD to know what it meant!
