    Basically someone who doesn't know anything about basketball acted like they knew something about basketball resulting in taking a historically great team and making it a good team.

    He ran it like it was a restaurant chain he purchased and cut costs to make a profit.

    Yeah, it's like he decided to maximize profits by getting rid of things like premium ingredients and used cheaper substitutions instead but in the long run he's going to have less people come back and end up losing money.

    Here's to hoping the Houston Roughnecks become fun to cheer for!

    Great synopsis. Someone needs to email this to the season tickets department and ask for an explanation.

    Trophies are still in Florida
    Hakeem raptors jersey
    Barkley missing three million dollars
    The beautiful jerseys are ‘throwbacks’
    Hakeem statue looks like a prop from the mandalorian

    The CP3 trade was a huge gamble and lost. I am assuming the trade was attached with the subsequent 160M contract. That contract led to the Westbrook trade which brought us a worse contract long term.

    And hoping one of the min players would stick is just futility.

    All this analysis, and there is a four letter answer to all questions. Zion. Whatever it takes.

    Les sold the team for the sake of profit

    other owners are already billionaires

    if people hate Tilman that’s on Les
    He probably was going to sell us to Wuhan and we’d all get the virus and fulfill the 12 monkeys storyline

    You were quite in love with Tilman in the early days. Tinman and Tilman - it was a love affair of TNT.

    I believe @tinman in his mind believes he is siding with the lesser of two evils. We must respect his OPINION.

    He’s a houstonian who ran a legit business not a bonds salesman from New York
    He can still turn it around
    We got nicer uniforms and Les’s mural has been wiped clean out of Toyota Center

    Les did unforgivable things . Tilman is being cheap due to limited resources

    Les sold the team to tilman for profit
    The other NBA owners are billionaires who own their team for their pleasure

    Les Alexander would sell his dog for the right price

    I mean people like that should burn
