    I hear Bloomberg has some money and time now... and he's all about analytics... just keep him away from the press conferences.

    Here's the thing about Tilman. The fan hate factor from 1-10 is really not that high.

    We're not the Knicks fans vs Dolan. Nobody at the games are holding signs to sell the Rockets.
    Hell, half the arena is empty . A leftover from the Les Alexander regime.

    Nobody at the games are revolting against the owner or do they even care about his dealings.

    The thing about Tilman is he actually has other businesses with goods and employees.

    Les had some student loan company where he would charged the living hell out of kids for loans
    which is what he's doing to Tilman . Les being Les.

    Les is the pure new york broker bonds salesman who only cares about the money
    Tilman didn't want to pay his employees

    Les didn't have many employees, he didn't have a store or sold chicken sandwiches
    Don't need employees to sell luxury mansions you bought a few years ago, made no improvements and reselling for a few million more.

    Once Yao left, I felt that Les didn't give two dumps about the Rockets so he sold.
    You can CLEARLY see it.
    He got to retire Yao's jersey cause you know he wants China to love him as he much as he loves their money

    Sold the Rockets and took a couple trophies with him to florida


    Remember all these owners who love THEIR CITY and TEAM took it to the grave
    Jerry Buss
    Paul Allen

    RIP REAL OWNERS

    the intense Tilman hate is something I really only see on CF...out in the streets, nobody cares

    Les threatened to move the team to Louisville

    maybe Yao and Hakeem can find another wealthy backer to buy the Rockets

    would be great to see some of our former legends own the team

    Moody's just dropped their rating on GNI across the board, on March 24th. It had held steady since Tilman reorganzied during the Rockets purchase and released his long-term bonds to pay for it.

    Don't forget the JETS owners.. JET JET JET S JET S...Trust fund drug addict

    or the

    Mets owner. Got scammed by Bernie Madorff and broke AF like Tilman. Had a deal to sell the Mets for over $2 billion, but like Tilman, refused to sell because scumbag didn't want to give up "control" to the buyer, just like Tilman refused an offer to sell 50% of the team for over $1 billion.
