    I am surprised it was Les and not Mark Cuban who said this. This is Cuban-style trolling.

    I would take CP3 in a heartbeat. If the rumors were true about him wanting to be a Rocket with Harden and Howard, if he couldn't get a deal with the Clippers, then we should be all for getting him. Forget Melo and Rondo. CP3 is the real deal and the best point guard in the NBA.

    Would not mind Reddick or at the very least Dudley or Granger. We just need 3 point shooters.

    Isn't that an oxymoron?

    CP3 is the better player, but Blake would be the better fit (especially now that he can hit some jumpers). I know Morey wouldn't pass up on "the best PG of all-time" though.

    It's a serious question. Griffin and Paul are the best at their positions but Paul's health and age are major concerns.

    I would take Griffin and never look back he has every we need from a PF, size, rebounding, scoring, athleticism, ball handling, underrated defense and most of all he is the best at getting other bigs in foul trouble.

    Yes, it just so happens that the Rockets are weakest at coach, PG, and PF: Doc, Paul, and Blake.

    We need a defensive wing in Matt Barnes and they can throw in Chris Paul and Blake Griffin to sweeten the deal. :p

    Exactly. Best sports owner in Houston history hands down. Never afraid to go for it either. Does not know the word tank. A++

    I actually had to think about this for a minute and Les could be basing his request on the possibility of a law suit against league for harsh work place or discrimination suit as well. These could be the results if league doesn't rule harsh enough. What's to stop the Players Union from filing those suits and winning with it being so blatant and public.
