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.

I would like to see BMAs get in on this!
Exactly, he cannot own the Rockets but can own "Clutch City Sports & Entertainment"Guitarsoup said:
Not legal by NBA rules. Michael Jordan owned part of the Wizards and had to sell before he suited up for them in 2001.
I don't know all of the rules, but I don't think Tillman can own a sports franchise while he owns a casino. He was one of the original owners of the Texans until he had to sell his ownership so he could open casinos.

Heh...they would probably try to hire Melvin Watkins, and sign the 60 year old Bernard King to a contract.

Major bummer, I think Alexander has been a great owner for the Rockets. Even though they haven't won since the back to back titles he's always gone for the big move and kept things interesting. Many teams just stay mediocre for years and don't care.
Sure hope he doesn't sell to a cheap owner like Crane. The Astros have rebounded well for the moment but I have my doubts about Crane's commitment to spending money to stay on top.

Obvious joke is obvious
I wonder if this is what has slowed Melo talks...
Nah, the Knicks are just stupid

Morey just got a big extension
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.
I wonder what Rovell is like at company parties. He strikes me as the guy who enters conversations and just repeats the last thing the person before him said.
Not a huge fan of the logo, but other than that, hot damn

Pretty much exactly what I tweeted at Rovell

Not a big fan of the mustard ones. Like the old school Rockets font. Never did like the pajama pinstripe unis.
Who you follow is irrelevant. I can't plagiarize something that was written after I wrote it.

Good point. They slipped my mind. Maybe each of them had their names on different things?
I don't think I would like Tilman Fertitta being an NBA owner let alone a Rockets owner. Maybe it's because of him being UH's big money daddy.
. I just hope they let me use my comps at the Nugget for free Rockets tickets.Good Aggie Hunting said:

Hickory High said:If he's even talking about Les, perhaps players don't like going through ownership changes? Not sure why that would be exactly. If so, it sucks that Chris Paul has gone through an ownership change in his first year at every team.Good Aggie Hunting said:
What? CP first year in LA was 11. Sterling sold in 14/15

I know it's been said, but those uniforms are fake. Those are not the Nike jerseys for the upcoming season - That guy is a graphic designer and designed them himself.
They look pretty cool, though.

Okay well at some point on each of his teams, whatever
