    That would have to be in a Jim Crane-style move with many partners. He's not worth near enough (currently estimated at $75 mil).

    That's a lot of partners to get up to 2 bil. We don't want a person or a group that can barely afford the team.

    I hope Yao Ming buys them, or puts in a fee.

    It all makes sense when you think about it. The franchise is valued at $1.5 Billion & Les Alexander is 72. He's at a point in life where he's probably getting his financial affairs in order. NBA salaries are rising with the updated CBA and he's already won an NBA title. There's nothing left to stick around for. The fanchise has a face (James Harden), a highly regarded front office, and controls its own downtown arena in the 4th largest city in the NBA. For Les, it's get out while the gettin is good.

    I just hope the new owner also gets us an NHL franchise. Toyota Center built to suit a regulation sized rink.

    He's the best owner a Houston sports franchise has ever had. Period.

    Relocation will never happen. You don't move a Pro franchise out of a top 10 media market. The Rockets aren't going anywhere.

    Also, as others have alluded to, the Rockets are locked into a lease until 2033. So yeah, that shouldn't be a concern. Now, will we get a cheap ass mother lover, who guts the team and runs it the way Sarver does with the suns? That's possible.
