    Let me get this clear,
    I'm not a fan of Tilman,.

    But Les has done far worse than Tilman. He's a bond salesman. And he took our trophies as decor for his house in Florida.

    Those trophies are sacred.

    just because Les wasn't as out there like Tilman doesn't mean he was great person

    I had people who
    1. had major business with the Rockets inform me
    2. Robert Horry told me himself some stories which I will never reveal

    this isn't all because of ugly uniforms

    If Tilman goes down the path of the dark side FOR MANY MORE YEARS, than yeah you can say he's worse etc

    But Les sold the team for GREED and put TILMAN here

    Let's just agree having 2 bad owners in a row is most unfortunate, it is superfluous to determine who is the bigger evil.

    I thought this was just common knowledge, right?

    I'm not sure what a suite possibly defaming is, but I hope we can skip all that.

    This is the best thing most businesses can and are doing for their employees. Most companies can not afford to pay “non-essentials” during a shutdown, so they lay-off their employees with the intent to re-hire them when possible and in the meantime it allows the employees to apply for unemployment benefits, which is one of the reason businesses pay taxes.

    Businesses don't pay majority of taxes the common person pays majority of taxes, businesses pay very little tax because they use loopholes and hire expensive lawyers to pay as little tax as possible. So really what Fertita is doing is passing the buck for his own employees to the American public.
    The best thing most businesses can do is pay their employees, not fire them and let the tax payer pay for their salaries.

    The Rockets unlike nearly every team in the NBA also making their season ticket holders start making payments towards next season. Everyone else postponed this... unreal.
