    If you had to pick between these two who you'd want owning the Rockets for the next 20 years, who would you choose?

    Would you be able to tolerate Hakeem being escorted out of the arena if it meant Morey being able to spend into the luxury tax? Or would you rather have an owner who trades away all our young talent and draft picks to save himself money after financing the purchase of this team?

    Would you prefer being punched in the left nut or the right?

    i've been called a Tilman hater but there's no chance I'm letting Dolan touch anything.

    He's completely inept at running basketball operations and is prone to over insert himself and uses MSG as a platform for his unremarkable band.

    Ferntits is vain and cheap.

    Better a monkey be owner than Dolan.

    Dolan has decades of failure on his record. I understand people are annoyed with Tilman right now but this is ridiculous.

    Actually my avatar is only half steer and the implication behind it is to leave them alone and not harm them.

    Dolan did Charles Oakley dirty.

    Imagine if our owner did that to Mad Max at TC. Or eject a Red Rowdie because a harmless heckle like 'sell the team'.

    Fern > Dolan.

    I would choose Vivek over Steve Ballmer for his daughter alone.

    Dolan wouldn't duck the tax if he were this close to having a championship level team. If he had Morey and a prime Harden, and we're that close to upsetting GS I think he would have went all in. I'll take an owner who has money to burn vs some slick ass used car salesman any day.

    Tilmann was handed a prime all time great and one of the best GM's in the league in the middle of a very real championship window....and he decided to cut major corners financially.

    People will say Dolan because he has a longer resume, but this jackass we have is as bad an owner as a team can possibly be cursed with. Tilmann is Dolan without the willingness to spend.

    Phoenix signed Ariza to a tradable 1 year contract that Tilman chose not to sign, and then they flipped him for Kelly Oubre Jr. who turned out to be a complete stud. We also shed salary and moved Melton who spanked us last night, and traded another 1st rounder just to trade Brandon Knight and Chriss.

    We are screwed with this tyrant as our owner.

    This is harder than Sophie’s choice. I’d rather have a trash can as the owner but I heard he’s going for the Stros job.
