[Feigen] "[Rockets sale] is going to set the record" >$2b per Experts "Individual buyer"

Don't think the Rockets will sell for 2 billion, nor do I think it'll be a good investment at 2 billion, since with the exceptions of a few franchise/cities like the Lakers, Knicks, Celtics, etc, the value of most nba franchises can rise & fall dramatically with its performance and stars. Who knows what the Rockets will look like 5 or 10 or 15 years from now.

 

2 B's? Maybe Les can swap the rockets with Lavar for Big Baller Brand, with 1B for cash consideration towards Lavar (1b for each of the B's wasn't it? plus he has a history of speaking things into existence).

I personally would love to get my hands on a BBB Harden Rockets jersey for $1000, I'm a big baller baby!

 

Mutual digging happening here.

 

Eh, golden state set the record in terms of sale price, and they sucked at the time. it's more about fan base consistency, which les has in spades, thanks to his coorperate clientele and suite deals.

 

Houston is taking over America folks. The city is exploding left and right. We have no other basketball team competition in Houston except for the occasional Spurs fans and their Churros. If we win a title this coming season, Morey and les are going to set a winning culture. Harden will stay and we will continue to do what the spurs do. We'll be a top team all the time unless we do something stupid like picking up LMA to be the next Duncan.

 

I just hope the high tariff prices out the riff-raff like Tillman Fertitta. I know the guy must somehow be making money (although I wonder how much of it is legit), but he just seems to have the anti-Midas touch. Everything he touches turns to ****. Unless of course, you like crap food, then my opinion will mean nothing.

 

Golden State sale price of 450$ million was only 10% higher than the previous record SIX years prior by the Suns in 2004. The Warriors were coming off two terrible seasons at the time, but so were the Pheonix Suns when Sarver bought them in July of 2004. The suns were 29- 53 the prior season.

Teams like the Knicks & Lakers and a few others can maintain their value despite fluctuating performance, due to branding, huge markets and their incredibly lucrative in some casing owning) local cable deals.

Are the Rockets corporate sales, suite deals and regular ticket sales markedly better than most nba teams? Are they top 2, top5 or just in the top 10? Without the or market/branding/cable deals like LA or NY, will the Rockets be able to maintain the current valuation of 2 billion if their performance dips in the next 5 or 10 years. And will the value of the NBA and its team continue to skyrocket as it has done since 2010.

Maybe... I'm just thinking it isn't likely.

Yeah quite possible in that scenario. If the rockets win the next decade like the Spurs did the previous 17 years whoever buys the Rockets would've made a great purchase.

 

Chinese need money laundering-in ligitamate way to buy this team. So it's easy to surpass the expected price.

 

The Rockets will go for more than $2 billion and there is no question about that. There is only a finite number of teams and the cost of entry is exorbitant thus keeping out anyone who will disrupt their cartel. The league does not want an Al Davis on their hands.

China investors would be one of the worst case scenarios to happen to the team. They would have a revolving door front office with one bad season meaning a complete rebuild every few years. They also can be very unstable with their cash flow.

The guy that we should be hoping is still interested in buying a team is Larry Ellison. He can be a prick but the guy is a winner and HATES to lose. He would be hands on but he is smart and would make this team competitive almost every year.

That's my take at least.

 

I wasn't trying to say it was fair value. I'm just speculating as to what the actual sale price will be.

But yes, Corperate sells and suites are high compared to other NBA teams as a percentage of ticket sales. At least, high enough to drive up the price.

 

No. Larry Ellison won't buy this team. He is rich enough and get more flash light than this team.

 

Will the Rockets have a new owner before the season starts?

 

You know, we could end up with a chinese owner, and watch how the NBA turns into like the EPL - with huge money global ownership.

DD

 

Ellison wants a team in San Jose. No thank you on him.

 

Why not Randa Duncan? Let the league have its first female majority owner.

 

Jeff Bezos is now the richest person in the world. And he grew up in Houston (well, for a time, anyways). He pointed this out in a recent interview. The richest person in the world could own the Houston Rockets, if he wanted.

I'm not buying that. The NBA just signed a 9 year TV deal worht $24 billion. That's just the TV right for those two networks and it's divided equally among all teams. Performance has very little to do with profit unless you are in a very small market or lack interest in you r team.

The Rockets don't have those problems. This is going to be the 3rd largest city on the county in 3 years.
