    The Clippers netted $2B. I doubt Houston surpasses that.

    I want an owner whose sole focus is trying to win a chip. He needs to be willing to pay the tax and stay the F out the way so that the basketball people can do their job.

    Also, he can start things off right by giving us some clean, new jerseys.

    I'm gonna miss u Le$

    Can't say I blame him. It's a great time for him to cash out.

    I'm all in for Tillman.

    Could be good or bad news. We'll have to wait and see.. Hopefully we get someone who likes the management we have and keeps them in place.

    Houston's too large a market for the NBA to leave.

    Les has been a solid owner... not sure I'd call him in the best owner though.

    Much of his run is goodwill from winning 2 championships... which he basically had very little to do with. Bought the team the year before. I guess he okay'd the Drexler trade, but lol who wouldn't do that.

    He has been aggressive, forward thinking ... like I said he's been a solid owner.

    But this can be just as much a positive thing as a negative thing.

    Also new uniforms finally?!?!?

    Someone start the kickstarter.
    I'm sure we only need about $4B dollars.

    Say what you want about the "never tank" mantra, but Les won that argument. Plenty of teams have tanked and have gotten nowhere. The Rockets didn't tank and ended up rebuilding on the fly with Harden, going to a Western Conference Finals and now have Harden/Paul.

    It was inevitable, he is a trader, you knew he would look to cash in at some point.

    My fingers are crossed that Kobe and Elon Musk start an ownership group

    There is 0 chance the Rockets don't sell for more than the Clippers.
