    Charles didn't have to stay
    Dream left, Clyde retired, Pippen forced a trade

    The Rockets were clearly rebuilding with rookie Steve Francis


    Thanks Charles ,

    Pay him that 3 Million Les (Tilman doesn't have to)

    If Barkley had a legal case, his agent/attorneys would've taken the Rockets to court for breach of contract years ago. Obviously, as we all know, Barkley's alluding to an under the table *wink, wink* deal that went sour.

    You win some, you lose some.

    New owners like Fertitta inherit the bad debts of companies they buy. If the Rockets legally owed Barkley anything, Tilman would settle the debt immediately rather than endure public shaming.

    Simply put, Barkley's beef is not with the Rockets franchise--it's with Les Alexander and that's where it should stay. Leave the damn franchise alone. Neither Tad Brown or Darryl Morey were part of the so-called 'verbal agreement' at any point.

    Turner Sports needs to step in and straighten out Barkley now that Les is no longer affiliated with the organization.

    Enough already.

    I remember this day. It was one of the worst days for me being that I only became a Rocket fan because of Barkley. I remember the excitement I had when he played that final game against the Grizzlies

    Didn't he apologize to the Rockets organization about bad mouthing Tad, Les, front office, etc. and about the 3 million dollars last year? Why in the hell did he bring it up again during Inside the NBA? I know he's lost more gambling than that and well he just needs to get the **** over it because I'm tired of hearing it over and over again.

    Les didn’t even want give his scouts frequent flyer points, and he’s going to give up 3 million to Barkley?

    I saw it and give no ****s about, it's the damn past. My almost 40 year old ass is tired of Chucks garbage.

    It's almost 2018... the fat ass has made more money in his life than likely anyone in this forum ever has/will (blown a lot of it on bad choices) and I'm supposed to care about some under the table deal his rich gambling ass made with Les years ago and have to put up with him making dumb comments on TNT during Rockets games about players and people that have nothing to do with him?

    Get off the Chuck Wagon already.

    I did, and I appreciated him at the time.

    Again, **** Charles Barkley. The team is more important than any player- and with his constant negative **** against the Rockets, he has ruined whatever good will he built up.

    The true Rockets fans put their team above Barkley and call Sir Charles Sir Shut The **** Up.
