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.
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
Or Lebron

Not legal by NBA rules. Michael Jordan owned part of the Wizards and had to sell before he suited up for them in 2001.
Exactly, he cannot own the Rockets but can own "Clutch City Sports & Entertainment"

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.

From the new CBA, Article XXIX, Section 11, "Limitation on Player Ownership":
Quote:
During the term of this Agreement, no NBA player may acquire or hold a direct or indirect interest in the ownership of any NBA Team or in any company or entity, whether privately or publicly owned, that owns any interest in any NBA Team; provided, however, that any player may have an ownership of publicly-traded securities constituting less than five percent (5%) of the ownership interests in a company or entity that directly or indirectly owns an NBA Team

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.

If you didn't already hate Darren Rovell, there's this.

I think it makes it more attractive for the new owners. They got a top 5 player for the next several years.

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 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.

The Maloof Brothers owned the Kings and multiple casinos in Vegas.

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.

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.

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.
