    We give tons of credit to Morey, but how about Les, you have got to admire what he has done in hiring Morey and taking on risks, it is SOOOOO clear that the guy just wants to win.

    We are LUCKY to have Les Alexander as our owner.

    Kudos to you Les !

    Exactly, I am very happy that Les is our owner, he has proven time and time again that he is willing to do what it takes to try to get it done.

    Sometimes it doesn't work out, but at least he is in the batters box swinging for the fences.

    Patterson deserved some of the credit, but this is not just a Morey move, Les gets too little credit for being the owner and taking some risks IMHO.

    Les has never been afraid to go after big names. (Drexler, Barkley, Pippen, Tmac and now Artest) We are definitely lucky to have him as our owner.

    You are right, Les made his money taking risks, and this is a low risk high reward move.

    You have to admire our owner and his willingness to go for the brass ring.

    We are lucky to have him.

    yeah many props and kudos to Mr. Alexander that guy has shown throughout the years as an owner that he is willing to take the big risk or shell out some money if it means helping the team become a contender year in and year out. I am thrilled that we have an owner who doesnt just look at his pocketbook and make decisions based on that. An owner who takes pride in his team winning and representing the city of Houston.


    oh and DD maybe update your sig now? I think we have wing players now ;)

    There's something to be said about a man who makes a post, then backs it up with 3 additional posts.
    :D :p
