    Don't like to wish misfortune on anyone, but as a fan the Rockets should be in different hands..

    You gave me some sort of ad clip of a whole bunch of very short clips linked together without any context. Maybe it brought up the wrong thing to me on twitter?

    Can Steve Balmer own two teams? If so lets get it done.

    Larry Ellison should buy them... he's even richer than Balmer.

    I don't see NBA teams selling for $2 billion any time soon.

    The context is 200,000 dead and ****ing mobile corpse units lined up outside Bellevue when we enter a ****ing depression, but worse.

    The subtext is that if you still don't get this, when you get an eviction notice or when you apply for a job or when you have to attend a COVID19 funeral on zoom, it didn't have to be this way. But since minority of geniuses decided to burn it all down/roll the dice bc of her emails, this is the way it is.

    Alice Walton lives in Houston area, not far from Houston.

    She has 52 billion assets.

    Really? She's treated her employees like serfs for decades. A huge percentage of them have to rely on food stamps and Medicaid to survive. She'd be worse than Ferntits. Imagine retired Walmart greeters trying to handle the crowd at a sold out playoff game. **** her and her family. Dox her, so the mob knows where to go when the Revolution starts.

    The last TWO presidents have totally divided the country and the minions who follow them blindly are continually bashing one another. Just another day in paradise!! :(




    (P.S.) Hope Taleman folds and steps away from the table!!

    The "both sides" people might be the dumbest ones out there of all. Please just stop with this.

    There is no parallel for this tragedy and stupidity in all of living memory, let alone in the last 12 years.

    Wow you are really living in some Twilight zone. Huh?

    Don't remember Obama being handed the biggest financial crisis since the great depression? The fact it never went into a depression despite Republican party trying to stop the stimulus packages is quite remarkable.

    In fact in every decade(since the civil war) the US economy has had a recession that was set to change in 2010-2020 predominantly because of Obama's leadership, unfortunately this coming recession ends any hope of a USA decade without a recession.

    Yep. I fully expect him to sell. I really don’t see any way around it. The other option would be to partially sell while still retaining majority ownership, which also makes sense, but ultimately I expect him to bail. He’s getting absolutely slaughtered financially right now.

    Sooo... would Kathaleen Wall buy the team if she doesn't win a congressional seat?

    Yes, I probably just made this thread 1000x worse.

    Yea , Walton family owning Rockets would be horrible. Walton's wealth is paid for by the Taxpayers since we pay for WalMart hourly employee's food stamps and other government welfare.

    Walton family treat their employees like Tilman does, horrible.

    How pathetic is it that this man doesn’t have 6 months allowance saved up for a rainy day

    it’s been roughly 3 weeks of shut down and now he has to sell?
    Even after he let all his employees go?
