    His net worth is about 3 Billion so he will have to create an ownership group to bring up enough money. he might be the majority guy but I doubt he can do it himself.

    True. Well, if the Russians can hack his opponent and air their dirty laundry. That isn't really dirty. But is just laundry. And that confuses people. *

    *This is NOT a political statement. I don't do politics. But, I did do laundry. Once. Stay downwind around me.

    Does Kobe Bryant want a team?

    Isn't there such a thing as financing? With that kind of money, you should be able to bring down the rates and keep your net assets which you can invest certainly make more than the APR.

    Honest question... Why do you feel that way about Fertitta? I don't know much about him as a whole.

    He and Harden are good friends, he's smart and he's competitive. He's not loyal to Houston, that's the only issue I see. That and he doesn't have the funds.

    He can't buy it by himself. He'll need a group. I don't like the idea of the Rockets being owned by a bunch of Houston area restaurant owners.

    I don't know if Tilman would have any control over this, but if he could, one question for him:

    Can we get the Aeros back somehow, please? I miss hockey in Houston. And they would be the Aeros, since that name stays with the city. Give me back the Aeros, and I'll passively support you with no real effort, Tilman.

    Yeaaaa, not here ya don't.

    First, thread premise is not verifiably correct and when called on it, you act like a child instead of trying to further discuss it.

    Second, there is already a thread about Tilman trying to buy, so this one serves no purpose...if you had a sourced argument I might leave it open, but you don't.

    Soooo
