    Omg, switching owners is scary. We don't know what type of owner we'll get to take over...

    @tinman must be dancing naked in joy.

    My fear is that we could possibly see the team move to another city of the right buyer came along

    When asked "is it a goal to keep Rockets in Houston" "he said absolutely"

    Les has looked done for a while now.

    At the CP3 rally he was extremely short with reporters. I guess its the grind of the business.

    So how likely would it be that an entire Forum collectively put everything they had together to be a NBA franchise???

    I'm not thrilled because I feel like this could mess up our chances of Melo trade

    Thank goodness Dolan is not allowed to buy it,

    When you get so old stuff that grinds on you want to get rid of and some of the other older members can tell you that cut it loose,

    So, is he selling because of all the luxury tax he would be spending given the lucrative contracts being handed out?

    i feel like les wanted to win 'ship and then sell team.
    would;ve kept team if they signed melo.
    I think there's a minute chance melo becomes a rocket and thus, les doesn't feel he has the star power to beat Warriors.
