    When the trade deadline comes around and there needs to be a trade at 3am with comminication sent through e-mail then who would you trust?

    McCain: does not know how to use e-mail.
    Palin: has her e-mail gets hacked so any trade can be modified by hackers....


    I pick Obama/Biden.

    After organizing local 3 on 3 blacktop tournaments Obama would then feel he was read to be an NBA GM. He would then be hired as GM for the Rockets and work for a year, then basically quit on the team while for the next two years he rallies young fans to support him to be NBA commisioner. He draws large crowds of basketball fans in European basketball leagues.


    McCain would be captured by the Jazz, but in the 5 years he was captured he would never give away Rockets secrets despite having to listen to AK47 cry about his feelings and have Harpring constantly hack away at him. After he's released both claim to NBA officials that McCain actually tortured them.

    Actually his middle initial is "H."


    FWIW - The "old fart" has the money to buy the team. He can just ask his wife for them as a birthday present.

    Neither!

    I would trust only myself to run the rockets. First,I would install my new plan and call it...... The Great JumpStep foward. This Plan would remove all suits from seating in the front rows. I would set a fix price of $55.21 on the ticket, and seating arrangements would be achieved on a first come, first served philosophy. I would then raise the luxury boxes 50%, bc the companies will still pay that. I would also raise Food and beverages by 30%, but encourage fans who want to bring food or candy from home to do so.

    Those who are caught with food from outside restaurants will be forced to attend 10 mandatory comets games during the summer. The Final Step is to protect our commonwealth. I will privatize every hotel within a 10 mile radius. during dates of games, the visiting team fans will see a rise in their room purchase.

    Stay Red!

    Oh man...you people have missed the point here!

    Old, rich white guy....congratulations, I described 99% of team owners in American sports. :D


    I think its fun to think of Obama, who comes across as pretty quiet guy, being an ultra competitive GM of a team, to the point where he calls out players during practice and is really foul mouthed, trash talking them an everything. :D

    I thought Carly's comment was funny because she couldn't run HP either.

    Obama and Palin are both credible as hoops folks.

    I give Obama a slight edge. I'd put Palin in charge of the Aeros or if we had an NHL team.

    There an unpoliticised answer from a liberal Democrat.
