    Les seems to be cashing out his entire life. Wish he could've won a couple more. Sad day. Would love to see Yao involved in ownership, but it really needs to be a local idiot (they are always idiots) with a burning desire to win.

    Lol dude is 80? I don't get it, even if he tried he can't spend all the money he's got talking about trying to sell at the highest %...

    Now's our chance for Clutchfans to crowdfund and buy a majority ownership stake in the Rockets! Clutchfans can finally have a say in the decision-making of the team!

    Maybe Daryl Morey will find a way to buy the Rockets. He always stated he wanted to own his own team.

    I'm guessing he realized after walking on to the court against the Thunder in that playoff game that this game had become to real for him.

    Tillman Fertitta should buy the team. I'll miss Les and his northern accent.

    How much does he get two B notes?

    It's not. Les has made his share of mistakes, but he has been passionate and dedicated to bringing a 3rd NBA Championship to the city of Houston.

    I wonder what Harden thinks of this?

    Will it change Paul's mind about wanting to resign here? Affect Melo?
