Yep, No doubt... Tilman Fertitta owns casinos and big time Restaurant Chains, the Pleasure Pier in Galveston Island (Shit, he owns nearly the whole island) owns properties and an amusement park at Clear Lake Etc., Has his own Reality TV Show, they're naming the new basketball arena at UH after him (Fertitta Center). Dude is IT in Houston. - Owning an NBA team is "Candy" for him. (His words and he said that he LOVES candy). He can easily fund any luxury tax thrown his way and he will, because he understands to make $$$ will cost $$$. He also said they can match ANY offer for Capella (I think he said something about falling under Bird Rights on the Radio the other day) and he said that he will do whatever it takes to bring Houston another NBA Championship. The $$$ aspect is the least thing to consider when talking about LeBron to Houston. Tilman understands how the NBA has changed and he said that you're either a "Player" or you're not. He is.

Personally, I don't really know how I feel about LeBron coming to Houston. There's a part of me that thinks that would "Cheapen" winning the Title but another part in me realizes that if not Houston - he will go somewhere, which will make it harder for Houston to win an NBA Title. So, I'm kinda warming up to the idea of him coming here because in all likelihood, it would mean several Titles. He would have an Owner and GM and be teamed up with a couple of Top 10 NBA Players, that would keep things rolling as long as possible. If he wants to catch Jordan in NBA Titles, Houston affords the best immediate chance for that. He's not getting any younger.

Down 11% from game 4 last year and 30% from the deciding game 5.

I guess I wasn’t the only one.

I was with you. Did not watch one second and had NO interest at all. Not sure how the ratings went but I'd bet anything they were not good..... I can tell you that I know many who did the same thing.

Doesnt matter what Tillman says the salary cap doesnt lie.You cannot supermax CP3, max Capela and sign Lebron to the max outright. It would require a sign and trade with the Cavs. And Houston has no package worthy enough for the Cavs to ever agree. So the only option for Houston is signing Lebron outright which you cant max both CP3, Capela and Lebron to make that work numbers wise. Someone would have to take a discount (hint: none of them are taking discounts)

I really enjoy NBA and college basketball. I guess I am just bored with reruns.

While I always enjoy Lebron getting his ass kicked the Cavs/Warriors thing has gotten stale. The Warriors/Rockets was fun as hell though. Time to just seed 1-16 and **** conferences.

If the superteam trend continues might as well just seed it 1-4...

Jordan was fortunate to have a better coach than Lebron ever had

As for yelling, Kobe barked at his teammates, visibly. He was top dog, just like Lebron and Jordan.

All three had an intense desire to win, and you better not be a slacker on their teams, and you'd better remember the score

:clap:

Yes, all true for sure.

When his career is over, Lebron will own every record for Playoff stats- except Championships won.

Records due to high volume of games played... not a lot of PG and PS stats. Just the longevity type records aided a lot by a shit Eastern conference. The longevity stuff is how Lebronies like to slant arguements.

I can see both CP3 and Lebron taking discounts.

So the player's union president (Paul) and the second in command in the union (LeBron) are going to take less than what was bargained for. Yeah good luck with that.

LMAO Holy shit! Just saw he had the fake cast for the post game news conference.

Yeah, pay cuts with LeBron are definitely not going to happen and it is for exactly that reason.
