Well we the Houston Rockets would to formally introduced Marc and Pau Gasol to the Houston Rocket franchise and the city of Houston. It was tough endeavour but we are able to bring together the two talented brothers to begin our ascend as a championship level contentor. We think with the dual post threats our offense will really open up for emerging wing/guard players. With Pau we get that superstar level player we have been looking for. With Marc we got a star in the making and the future of Houston basketball. OUR SECOND BIG ANNOUNCEMENTLeslie Alexander (now the former majority owner) has agreed to sell the Rockets to the Communist party of the USA. They were instrumental in wanting to improve this team and improve our marketability overseas to quicken the proletarian revolution with basketball. WE WILL BE TAKING QUESTIONS ON BOTH THE OWNERSHIP CHANGE AND THE ADDITION OF THE GASOLS

Question:
What are Gasol's and Blake Griffin looking at? Rodman in a dress? lol
Serious Question:
With the Gasol's in the team, are the Rockets done with the trades for now? Do you think that this team can win a championship?

I really do think that we are a couple of moves away from contending this year but I love this nucleus

How do you imagine the Gasol's co-existing and do you think they're style of play will compliment each other?

I see them playing like how they do with the Spanish national team, switching on both the high-post and low-post. Both are willing passers and great mid-range shooters. Defensively both are deceptively quick and we feel like with our wings we can be a much better pick and roll defending team. Rebounding wise we will improve by a lot since both are hovering around 10 boards a game. We feel we have the best big man rotation in the NBA with the Gasols and Camby.

I think Mullens-Biyombo-Andersen are better lol Another question: Almost every NBA Championship contenders this season has 3-stars: Spurs with Duncan, Ginobili and Parker. Thunder with Durant, Harden and D-Will. Heat with James, Wade and Bosh. Bobcats with Walker, Biyombo and Maggette. Who's the Rockets 3rd man?

Well at this moment are 3rd star would be our depth and versatility at the wing/guard. A young up coming point in Dragic and couple young wings in Budginer/lee/Parsons. Also who said we are done trading

That guy was a deeming bastard who love giving out criticism but can never take it. The guy took like 51 shots for 30 points a game then bitched when I took a three. He was so damn obsessed with the all-time scoring list that he demanded that Steve Blake's locker be converted to a electronically functioning board that displayed in real-time his ascend to the top of the scoring list. *Pau stands up making his chair fall down YEA KOBE IM CALLING YOU OUT, WATCH WHEN THE ROCKETS COME TO TOWN, IMA DROP 30-10-10-10 ON YOUR ASSES, THAT MAKE UP FOR THE TIME YOU GUYS STOLE MY SHORTS AND MADE ME WEAR KAREEMS VINATGE SHORTS TO PRACTICE CALLING MY SPANISH KURT RAMBIS ALL DAY....F*&K YOU GUYS.. *Pau Gasol is physically restrained and placed back into his seat, still fuming* ME: Yes we know for Pau it was honor to play with one of the all-time greats and we know he will bring that same fire he had with the lakers to Houston.

Marc: Well I can't speak for Pau but I felt that he was under appreciated in LA, think about it Kobe was 5 minutes away from being in MJs shadow playing in Chicago, then Pau came a year later and BOOM nba finals. Pau: Yea f**k that guy man, i shoulda won that MVP in '10 when Kobe nearly shocked in game 7 with a 6-24 game.

Pau: Hey last time I address this shit. Has Kobe ever carried a team that wasn't stacked? Last time he was the clear cut best player for the Lakers in the playoffs, the Lakers gave up a 3-1 series lead against the Suns. While for me son the best player I had on those Memphis teams were freaking mike miller a white chocolate. Thats atrocious.

To all the Houston fans out there, this is just one step to bringing us back to a championship level.
