[WNBA] Rockets pushing for deal to purchase Connecticut Sun

I'm all for it

Yall negative in here like it's your money lol

Also who actually owns the Comets name?

If we can't keep the Comets name or history then I don't like it

 

Doing this so we can play Alpy for the WNBA team?

If the Comets come back to Houston, the WNBA better rig it so they get the #1 overall pick to draft JuJu Watkins when she declares in '27. Makes too much sense.

 

What is the WNBA

 

The entire league is a failure financially, it's subsidized by the NBA .... without the subsidies they lose money.


I couldn't care less if Houston has a women's team, it's not entertaining and I have a lot of other things to do / spend my $$ on before I do an WNBA game.


Tilman, it's your money .... but my advice is "Don't, it's already failed, Hilton couldn't even find a buyer", The team was not relocated. The brand was not transferred to another city. The roster was not kept together under a new owner. The franchise simply ceased operations .... That in what was supposedly one of the WNBA’s most important early markets.

 

Can't wait for all the defective franchise players they draft! Bring it on!

 

@Jontro
Tilman is rich

 

Watch it, Im sure you will love it.

 

the wnba or aka the caitlyn cup championships, should focus first on paying its hot lesby players what they truly deserve.

 

Maybe we can get rid of Ime by having him coach the women.

 

Wnba is getting a new TV deal, it's finally becoming profitable, this is why you see these other ownership groups are trying to buy one. Even if low attendance, the TV money will guarantee profitability since the player salaries are still low.

As the article stated Celtics was trying to pull a fast one, I'm glad at least HOU gets first dib.

CT lost the original Patriots bid to Boston. They lost the Whalers, Suns is one of their remaining professional teams, so I do feel for the locals. But the current owners want to cash out while they can, not unlike Cuban or the Buss family.

Lastly, the arena over there might not be big enough on future growth, like if Catlin comes to town. Arenas like the TD Garden or Toyota Center have more capacity.

 

The Fertitta family has reached a deal to purchase the Connecticut Sun and bring the WNBA back to Houston, with an official announcement expected sometime next week, sources tell PaperCity. The agreement is “unofficially done” a source tells PaperCity. The team is expected to be renamed the Houston Comets after the Bayou City’s previous beloved WNBA team.

The Fertittas are purchasing the Connecticut Sun and the existing WNBA franchise will be moving to H-Town with its first season in the Bayou City expected to be 2027.



lol

 

Best owner in the nba. Now if we can get Stone to manage it

 

He is going to start being even more cheap with the rockets like always.

 

Not a good sign, but Comets actually had a better version of the 97-03 brand.

 

Can't wait, will watch every game....

 

300 million? Can’t even buy FernTits a good yacht with that.

 

Need to move this thread to the new Comets Forum.

 

RIP University of Houston basketball

 

Who’s our hottest player? Not talking about stats bruh.
