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.
