In my opinion, Les Alexander gets more flak than any of the other big 3 owners. I mean he is not nessersary a hands on owner like say Jerry Jones of the Cow-girls but he does not hessitate to get into the mix of things either. He is not sitting still, hoping for a Jackpot, Like the SUNS. Lets review some of the trades he made Drexler (with a little nudge from dream)-Worked out perfectly Barkley and Kevin Willis-Some might say a failure but hey the Rox were swept by the sonics the year before. The ROX got past them and was one Stockton lucky shot from getting to the finals. Pippin-Well at the time of the trade it looked good. Who knew Pip was that big of a b...... Francis-Hey some might complain about Steve but lets be honest would the rockets really have been any better with Mike Dickerson and Chucky Brown. We might be 5 years running not being in the playoffs. Steve was a very good player, Not great like we hoped but very good. T-mac- I must say I am shock that it happen and I am praying for the very best. Yes there have been some bad deal, (Moochie, Maloney, Cato) But that is the part of business. Plus. look at whats going on in L.A. That team can get to the finals for another 2-4 years but stars are running From them. It nice to be some place people want to come to. Thanks LES
