    No real information is ever going to be learned from those pressers. My guess is everyone at that table was well aware this was going to happen.

    Les is getting old, and his only child doesn't care about the team.

    Hopefully this move is lateral at worst.

    After winning early on and then now waiting 20 plus years to try and sniff another championship, Alexander is just tired and wants to move on imo. Doubt Alexander would be selling if he thought this team was close to legit championship contention.

    I think we have a different concept of just what a tourist attraction is. Is it an amusement park no different than any other, aside from its location, or is it a Galveston Bay village filled with local restaurants, local shops, run by local people?

    LeBron buys the team and joins the rockets banana boat in 2018. Most versatile NBA Player/Owner of all time.

    Prokhorov wants out too and this season will be the start of the new CBA. I wonder if there is any correlation?
