Les Alexander was a great owner so him selling makes me nervous. However going to a Houston business man sounds good. Being a long time Houston resident he will hopefully understand the aspects that made Les Alexander a great owner and hopefully he can mimic that.

This is the best case scenario of selling the team. A+ situation.

There is always some nervousness when you have a owner like Les step away but I think this is a really good situation.

Tillman will surely be willing to do what it takes to bring in top flight talent.

Tillman is Mark Cuban on steroids when in terms of meticulous controlling of his businesses. I'm a little bit nervous about the future of his relationship with Morey, but the fact that he's a native Houstonian Rockets fan is a huge plus.

Steve Ballmer spent 6% of his net worth on the Clippers.

Tilman Fertitta is spending 71% of his net worth on the Rockets

He will be fine. Just needs to sell a few more tickets for the Ferris wheel.

This is what makes me nervous. I hope he can check his massive ego some and let the basketball people do their thing.

I am also cringing a little bit about future gameday experience. Going to be lots of Landrys businesses being peddled in Toyota Center.

What, you're not excited about having a Rainforest Cafe in the Toyota Center??

As long as he keeps the current Front Office in tact, I think this is a fantastic deal

For those wondering. There will be Landry's restaurants in Toyota Center. At least two.

Also, one thing I never knew, Les' wife was a supporter of PETA and really limited what they could serve as far as food goes. Which will change next year.

At this point, the most likely outcome is Anthony wearing a Knicks jersey when media day hits Madison Square Garden, which will be just a slightly uncomfortable situation.

Is Tilman is going to be serving dog meat? Les has been serving burgers, dogs, BBQ, chicken, etc.

Wouldn't be surprised to see the Red and White Bistro turned into a Landrys Signature restaurant

Sorry, should have been more specific. They wouldn't serve anything with a bone still attached.

Yep, I welcome this change because the food upstairs couldn't get any worse.

Just wait. The bistro will be landrys themed, the bar and food area by the team shop will be pimped out, and the club sections will be upgraded. TF is going to style up the joint.

That's one of the first spot up 3s James has had in a while. NY needs to surrender to Morey already.

Knicks report to training camp Monday. I'd love to see the trade but who knows at this point.
