Do you want to see Les Alexander return with the Rockets?

  1. Yes, he's done a pretty good job in difficult circumstances.

  2. No, we need a young and hungry owner who connects with today's NBA players.

    Given the transitional nature of the team, I am wondering what people think.

    Les is unlikely to replace himself (i.e. sell the team and retire to Galt's Gulch or whatever) and we don't get to choose whether he does it or not, just like we don't get to choose the next coach or whether bring Yao Ming back, but I want to know what fans prefer if they do get to choose.

    I have nothing against you, mister Amigo, sir, and it's a shame you have this username... but... what the heck are you trying to stir up here? :confused:

    What "transitional" nature? Players come and go. Teams are always different. How can fans call for an owner to "go"?

    YES.

    There are precious few owners, in any sport, as good to his team and fans as he is to us.

    That said, I remain concerned that he may pull a very alarming, dubious move on the coaching situation this month.

    The poll should have been: Adelman or Alexander.

    I'm with Rick.

    Guys, Les might be about to make a super stupid move by firing Rick, but that being said, there are FAR worse owners that Les. I present the Knicks/Clippers owners as evidence.

    Sure, he is not the Lakers' owner but who is?

    There are also better ones. Young and hungry tech billionaires lying in the weeds. Lets get Mark Zuckerberg to own us.

    Exactly, he scares away free agents.

    Les tries as hard as any other owner in sports to win. That's enough for me.

    You gotta take Les. You go with the owner who is buying second round picks rather than one who is selling them.

    You are what your record says you are. The record the last couple of years shows Less isn't getting it done and needs to go.

    Les wants a winner and does everything he can to hold up his end of the deal. My only complaint is his love affair with Yao, for obvious reasons, but even that can be debated.

    HELL NO...LES WON'T GO!!!

    That must be why he keeps getting rid of coaches that win a lot.

    Or maybe he tries hard, but just isn't very talented, just like the teams he keeps giving us.
