    He should own both teams and so he could trade all the good Clippers players to the Rockets.

    But I'm guessing that wouldn't be allowed lol.

    That would be awesome. Make the clippers consistently the worst team year end year out and trade the number one draft pick to houston every year. Now how can he do this and still break even is the question.

    Still runs one of the most profitable teams, though.

    According to forbes the clippers are worth $575 million. The rockets are worth $775. He just needs to buy the majority share. It doesn't need to be the whole $575 million dollar chunk.

    Shouldn't that make the Thunder your second favorite team then?

    Cool idea but don't think it's allowed. Otherwise he could just make trades with himself. Kinda like how in fantasy sports you could collude and make one team stronger if you had 2 teams
