    "I have authorized Thaddeus to spend to pay these workers."

    "We’re going to do whatever it takes to get these workers paid."

    "We're ready to pay at all costs."

    "We will do whatever it takes to pay these workers.”

    "Thaddeus has the green light to bust the budget and pay these workers."

    "Thaddeus Brown knows that he can go do anything he needs to do to make sure these workers get paid, to go spend whatever the league allows us … with all the rules that (the league has). Thaddeus doesn’t have his arms behind his back, at all."






















    “Not paying these workers was a fluke. We were going to pay them. It was an accident. I’m still trying to figure out how they weren't paid."

    All workers get full pay, but they have to gamble in his Golden Nugget casino, for 5 hours or until they go broke. Being a nice NBA owner he will pay the bus fare to get them back to Toyota Center.If any workers still have money left, they have to eat at Landrys until they are broke. Tilman is such a nice guy.

    To be fair I feel like Tillman has got some unnecessary hate. Good for him and the organization for paying the workers considering some teams haven’t yet.

    now go eat some Landry’s guys!!!
