I thought the Clippers were in sort of a unique situation but I guess $2B is the new starting price for non-poo poo franchises

From a Houston poster on another forum I visit:

quote:

Rockets sold for 2.2 billy to Tilman Fertitta . Local guy. UH alumn. Also I believe he invested in the Texans to get them here.New UH basketball arena will be named after him, so at least he has roots here.

He tried to buy the team for 80 million in the 90s , but Les Alexander won the bid over him.

80 million to 2.2 billion

Whew

Thats almost entirely his net worth. Probably worth it, but that is a high price.

Seems like a perfect buyer though. Apparently he was a director for them in the 90s when they won their rings too.

I don't care for how people get overly angry at him. He wasn't rude or anything. Yeah, it would be great if he posted/lurked here more, but, man, you don't need to just yell at him every time he comes in and attempts to perform his mod duties.

I saw an episode of his show and it wasn't bad. He got really mad at some bad techobro startup dudes, that was kind of good. Actually seemed kind of like the anti-Cuban. Cleveland Hustle came out around the same time though and I chose that instead because of the Lebron connection, and I just don't have time for more than two billionaire investment shows in my life (of course I'm not dropping The Profit).

A lot of fanbases would just be depressed so I think it's GREAT that Pacers fans expect Oladipo to become a star. It will not last long

Oladipo might be in the running for something like MIP, because of just how much offensive load he is going to have to carry.

Honestly that's my favorite part of the videos. I dunno if you do it on purpose but it feels like the music is thematic to the player. Like peppy upbeat songs when the guy's blowing layups left and right.

Also I love you Meta and I love this thread

I hope Oladipo does well because he seems like a really good dude and seemed bummed about how his OKC time ended.

Dude has all the tools if he could just get out of his head and stop being so terrified of contact he could be great
