"Our staff is kind of scattered around the country, but we have about 15 members in Houston," Hornets chief marketing officer Tim McDougall told Houston television station KRIV on Wednesday. "The Rockets have been generous enough to give us some office space to work out of. ... The things we are focused on right now are just making sure our staff is OK and safe." Members of the Hornets' staff have set up in a conference room with computers and telephones. "It's great to at least to be able to lend a helping hand -- make them feel like they have a home away from home for a little while and give them as much support as we possibly can," Rockets senior vice president of marketing and sales Tad Brown told the TV station. The New York Times reported on its Web site on Wednesday night that NBA deputy commissioner Russ Granik sent an e-mail to all the teams in the NBA to prepare them for the possible relocation of the Hornets. "Even if the arena is operable, it still may be impossible to play games in New Orleans for some time," Granik wrote in the e-mail message, a copy of which was obtained by the Times.</div> Source Classy move by the Rockets.
Great move by the Rockets. Helping others in times of need is definitely very appreciated and I'm sure the Hornets will be thankful for the Rockets sending out a helping hand. Maybe in courtesy, the Hornets will purposely blow a game to us next season. (Not that we'll need it to win against them)
Kinda off subject but.............I just wanna say how proud I am to be an Houstonian. New Orleans is going through a crisis right now, and I'm proud the city of Houston is stepping up and helping out. I know we'll welcome those people with open arms.
I live in LA, but if I was Houstonian I would be proud as well.....but I'm a Rockets fan...so that makes me a........Rocketian(?) so I'm proud to be that
I like what i see in the Houston Rockets organization, They show they have a caring heart and is willing to lend a helping hand. Now that is Christ Love.
