    She's reportedly looking at buying only a small stake of the team, that's all she can afford. She'd just be a figurehead like Jay Z for the Nets, Usher for the Cavs, and Timberlake for the Grizzlies.

    If nothing else, everyone would be rooting for her to win the Lottery drawing, if we used her as our representative.

    Move over, Irina Pavlova

    I wouldn't mind her having a minority stake. If she was the majority owner I'd say hell no.

    I struggle with Beyonce's on again, off again allegiance with Houston, but I would be down for her owning part of the Rockets.

    Beyonce as a figurehead would do wonders for the Rockets.

    Beyoncé as a minority owner would give us a lot of good publicity. A famous person like her as a minority owner/figurehead? I'm down.

    Glad she's looking at the franchise. If she likes it, she will put a ring on it. She's no stranger to the concept.

    She can own a stake of my steak in her.

    (Like 92% at least.)

    And that is a stupid ****ing idea. She's not qualified at all to be a "figurehead", and there's no point in it. I don't like the Rockets being used to put Beyonce in headlines. Just leave the franchise to the expert BASKETBALL people. They've already ****ed up the Brooklyn Nets.

    She's already rich, please don't bring all of that **** to this nice solid franchise. We need LESS focus on off court issues, more focus on the team.

    Just like you believed Pounder :(

    Just kidding , but I would be all for Beyoncé buying a part of this team. I see nothing but positivity stemming from that .

    Bro pounder let us all down :(

    Kinda miss him doe. He made this bbs more interesting during the offseason.

    It became a controversy whether or not to even like his posts or respond to his troll bs. Garm turned into a civil war with hp leading the charge.

    I miss ABS too lol

    Funny all these wannabes trying to mimic Jay Z with his 1% stake in the Nets that one time. Like Chris Rock said one time:

    Shaquille is rich. The man who cuts his checks is wealthy. Even Fertitta don't have the cash on hand to buy this club. Beyoncé could liquidate every asset she had and would still only own like 20-25% of the team.

    oh, so I guess you're gonna tell me how it was Jay Z and his minuscule stake in the Nets who forced Billy King to trade everything away to the Celtics...

    You do know a figurehead is a person who doesn't have any real power right? Her being a minority owner with a small stake in the team does nothing to affect the "basketball people."

    If she becomes a minority owner then I wouldn't mind at all.
