quote:June of last year:
I wonder if the owner of the Rockets is willing to take a hit with the luxury tax?
“I have enough money, but I don’t have enough championships,” Rockets owner Leslie Alexander said. "If you’re not in it to win championships, you shouldn’t be in it. I would be thrilled to pay the tax if we have a championship-caliber team. Obviously, you have to get the players to pay the taxes. You have to get great players; otherwise, you’re just spinning your wheels. When you get the great players, you don’t want to lose them. You have to pay whatever it takes to keep them. That’s when it becomes really fun to be an owner and to be a fan of the Rockets."

I like this owner's mindset

Definitely answers my question!
Looks like we'll see if his actions match his words. They're going to end up with another big name on that team.
