    Watch he'll want to come in and do a rebrand and change the team colors to match the downtown aquarium...think Seattle Seahawks...

    Do you really think Harden and Morey are complaining at all?

    that's the case because most franchise that get sold are **** franchises and they need to be changed. the rockets are entirely different and already have a winning culture. what did ballmer changed when he became owner?

    Why would signing them for hefty contracts make the franchise more valuable? I would think the contrary. The new owner will have to pay them whether they want or not. As many posters have pointed out, the usual process would be to fire the old management. So the money guaranteed to Morey would add to the price, not the value, of the team.

    Morey is set no matter what. If he is fired, he gets the contract money and he'll immediate get job offerings by other teams.

    Locked in superstar means a really good team which means $$$$. And it means more marketing opportunities for the team... pretty simple.

    That may be true in Harden's case. Morey is another story, if he is going to be ousted.
