(Chron) Rockets CEO: 'We will take care of' arena workers impacted by stoppage

I could be wrong, but thank you Mark Cuban for starting the ball rolling for covering salaries for Toyota Center employees. Thank you also, Mr. Fertitta, for also ensuring that your workers will be paid.

I understand the difficulties the Fertitta businesses must be experiencing, given they are largely entertainment and hospitality, and everyone is scared to leave the house. Thank you again, for helping your seasonal workers meet their obligations.

Would that the rest of the NBA ownership would follow this generous example.

 

I can't see the Tweet, so if this is that lying b*stard COmpany Man, Turd Brown, it' s all lies.

TURD BROWN: "RUN IT BACK"

TURB BROWN: "RUN AS ONE"

Meanwhile, they could have signed Ariza for any amount of money, but decided to not even offer him a contract. Yea yea ea, $15 million is way overpaid for Ariza, he worth $15 million, we all know that. But Rockets were playing for a championship, so you have to overpay guys, just like the Warriors, they had to overpaid Livingston and Iggy. Then after Championship run was over, they had to waive Livingston and still pay him. They had to trade an UNPROTECTED 1st round pick to dump Iggy. Of course WIZ signed Ariza and ended up with Kelly O....

 

I'm seriously for serious real concerned about the Strippers, Pron stars in LA and Miami Bang Bro Stadium, and all those Sugar Babies.

How will they pay their rent???? is Hardon going to help them out in their time of need????

 

Tilman giving all the employees 1000 shares of his tech company Waitr. Which comes out to about $14.67

 

Yeah, beyond the great unsung heroes in the medical and other critical fields doing the highest priority work, some owners are stepping up and doing real things in the basketball world for those that need it. Great to see, hope others are inspired to follow suit.

 

Will the arena workers be traded for luxury tax relief?

 

Fertita didn't have to do it.

Good on him

 

We should give Tilman some credit. The guy business is all in entertainment, and he's experiencing a significant loss; yet, he's totally committed to his employees.

 

They’re going to work for the money. He isn’t giving out free cash.

 

In a month, or the next paycheck(s). Let's see if the Rockets are honorable

 

more lame jokes that aren’t even funny...very predictable

players shouldn’t be paying any person’s salary when there’s a billionaire owner...Pelicans had better tell Zion that he doesn’t have to worry about it because they got it

 

Surprised no one has made a Landry's joke yet.

 

i'll wait to see what "take care" of their employees actually entails before I give Tilman and Tad Brown credit/appreciation.

If it means covering their wages at least through March (as other teams/players have done) then bravo and applause for the great job!

If it means something less, then color me SHOCKED!
