    when the Rockets were about to get a second star and seriously contend for a ring, Les sold.

    While Tilman bought. So some credit Tilman outbidding everyone on a team seriously gunning for a chip.

    Make no mistake. He bought the team to build his ego and his wallet. Morey kinda hurt both.

    He bought the team
    Just like when you sold your car on Craigslist
    It’s not your car anymore
    You don’t want it

    Tilman wanted the team

    any other billionaires here ?
    No

    Jury’s out on Tilman, but Tin’s absolutely right that our last owner did some outrageous stuff, way worse than waiving Gary Clark. The Louisville debacle is unforgivable. Tilman can move the team to Kemah, at least it’s not f***ing Kentucky.

    I love when @tinman takes the board to school and teaches a history lesson. :D

    Leslie Alexander will never own the Rockets again!
    Leslie changed from the K&M to some white/blue Yankee pinstripe pajamas and later Chinese takeout font.
    Leslie changed from the K&M basketball logo to some dildo shark and later dripping blood/paint "R".
    Leslie said screw Houston & sold out to China
    Leslie rarely paid the luxury tax (but CF would have you believing he paid it every year or every other year)
    Leslie saw the upcoming bill(payroll) and said "I'm out" and sold high.
    Leslie took the trophies with him when he bailed.

    I don't wanna speak for him but I think he's fine with Tilman.

    even though the K&M uniforms are gonna go back in the closet after this year.

    Well hasn’t that been talked about? I didn’t say it would for sure happen. I said if and it’s no secret he’s grooming the kids for more within the org.

    There’s a quote somewhere. He predicted the team would be worth over 4 Billion within 10 years.

    We need to organize a ClutchFans ninja/Navy Seal raid on the light-security Alexander compound to reclaim our stolen property.
