Not to worry. Those logos aren't real.

I feel like being able to sign Mbah a Moute for the minimum is YUGE. Great defender and seemingly overrated reputation for not being a good shooter (his raw shooting stats look fine to me).

So what happened? The suspense is killing me.

If the lowly Clippers can sell for $2 Billion, I don't even want to think about what Les is about to profit

I have a buddy who's close with Tilman Fertitta. He told me a year ago this would be happening, but I wasn't so sure. Looks like it's true.

Tilman will probably make a play for it.

Very nervous to see what direction the team goes in considering the absolutely tremendous job Les has done. I'll miss him

How much money could we all pool together as a thread?

Even if every TexAgs user contributed, we wouldn't have enough.

Tillman's NW is ~3B and a lot of that is wrapped in his businesses. I doubt he is buying them outright. Maybe a percentage. Unless Les wants to own the Aquarium.

Les bought the team for $85 million.

Nice little ROI coming his way.

Started writing our thread's pitch to the league for buying the team.

Item #1: All who show up after tip off will be restricted from entering the arena

Did I miss anything or is this all we need?

Tilman has that off-the-books mob money tho

I think Fertitta is in play. Would not be surprised if an active player buys into "Clutch City Sports & Entertainment" as well. That's an interesting little loophole here. Not majority ownership but a minority ownership portion.

Pretty sure Jimmy the Gent will make sure your body is never found if you use off-books mob money to buy something as public as an NBA franchise.

James should restructure that $228-million contract and invest it into just purchasing a portion of the team. Then become the first owner to ever play for his team

So with Tilman buying the team are going to have $1 coconut shrimp night?

Not legal by NBA rules. Michael Jordan owned part of the Wizards and had to sell before he suited up for them in 2001.
