You don’t need to understand basketball to own an NBA team, but Houston Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta has struggled with this concept, notably trading Chris Paul for a worse contract. Fertitta has now committed to a hands-off approach, allowing General Manager Rafael Stone to make basketball decisions while he focuses on financial matters. This shift aims to prevent costly mistakes and manage the salary cap effectively, especially as the team rebuilds. For now, fans can be relieved that Fertitta won’t repeat past errors like trading for Russell Westbrook.
