    It's implied. Look at the Westbrook layaway plan.

    What Tilman is saying is, no way in Hell will I spend 1 red cent on luxury tax. Not now not ever.So Morey put that in your pipe and smoke It. Also if you guys can help me out, can I put your salaries on a payment plan. Also pretty please, interest free. I can give you 10% off any meal at any of my restaurants. If you promise to leave an 35% tip.

    He's playing it conservative by spending $2.2b that he doesn't have to own a sports franchise.

    He will still make more from his franchise than most other owners.

    Republicans always **** up good economies given to them by Democrats (Obama, Clinton). They want to give tax cuts to the Rich, at the expense of the middle class. Trump has taken it to a new level with his idiotic trade war.

    With that said, this thread is dumb.

    That is an excellent question. Also, how did TV ratings do?

    Where does the average NBA owner get most of their gross basketball-related income from?

    I don't think this particular bit of news means Fertitta is cheap, FWIW. Though it does sound like the sort of forward-looking statement a CEO uses to prepare their investors for expecting lower returns in the upcoming few evaluation periods.

    They probably are the sort of restaurants where front of the house has to pool tips with everyone including management.

    I've never worked for any of his places, though back in the day, I did work for a hotel that did pool gratuities that way. Still did well, but ugh.

    Also he's probably gonna fire a bunch of people on staff. Fat doesnt trim itself and you have to be lean and mean when you're sutting atop a publicly subsidized golden goose ******** ATM like an NBA franchise.

    Btw. Seems like the Toyota Center is looking mighty old....hint hint

    This basicly means eric gordon option wont be picked up. He will probably try to draft some 3pt stud out of college to replace him.

    If you call an overvalued market built on quantitative easing and zero percent interest a good economy, then you really shouldn’t be voting.

    Obama had to go to extreme lengths to fix the damage done by the affordable housing act, and few blame him. It was necessary, but let’s not pretend the bill won’t come due.

    He could pull a Le$ and threaten to move the team. How old was the Summit when Le$ tried that? More than the 16 years we've had the Toyota Center?

    LOL at Houston putting up most of the money to build the thing. Isn't Houston/Harris County Sports Authority still making payments on Astrodome bonds?

    I didn't want to start any political discussion here. Just thought a thread about news and economy needs that pic. :p

    If you actually watch the interview you might reach the conclusion I did. I'm happy Tilman is the owner over a lucky, stammering, stealing, jerk. Basketball is a business and we're not LA so we need all the planning and strategy we can get.

    He will Draft in the second round, because Tilman uses 1st round picks to get rid of bad contracts.
