    This would be crazy. Owners who have played the game... Plus not to mention the likelihood of superstar players wanting to come here because they can trust ownership, because the owner would know what it feels like to be a player.

    Tillman isn't liquid enough to buy the rockets. Not even a majority share. I would love Hakeem to get a group together.

    I'm convinced Deke could still give us 5 minutes a game. First owner-player in NBA history?

    I heard the hobos that currently reside on the corner of La Branch and Bell street are trying to get a group together and purchase the rockets as well. They are in the process of recycling an enormous amount of soda cans to pay for the team as we speak

    Am i the only one who thinks any former players owning the team is a bad idea?

    Most former players arent very on board with analytics and the modern pace and space style of play

    I feel this way as well. Former player seems like a bad route to me. They tend to be anti-analytics and they tend to have guys they have history with that they want to install around them.
