Thanks for everything Les. Please choose a worthy successor. Incompetent owners can ruin teams.

I'm sure everyone in the franchise was well aware of this. Probably why they gave Morey that long extension earlier in the summer

new ownership is always a bad thing
i understand he is old (late 70s) and want to retired
i just hope he is not selling the team to China (they were bidding for Clippers)
look what happen to Nets after rich person from Russia took over (sorry, forgot his name)
please do not move to Seattle

I'm terrified as well, but the team won't be moved. I am 100% certain on that

I'm in a bit of shock right now.

Hoping for the best.

Tillman fertitta is net worth 3.2b
Harden is still a work-in-progress. He can score, but he can't help his teammate that much - Yao Ming

I'm guessing that he thinks the franchise value may be peaking:

-- Shot at a championship.
-- Luxury tax bills that may make the pursuit of the championship expensive.

Kings fan here. I hope that you guys get a great new ownership group. From an outside perspective, it seems like Les has been a great owner. This team has a lot going for it (as usual), so let's all just hope that someone comes in with the same outlook. Let Morey have free reigns to show his brilliance and support the fans and city of Houston.
