According to several reports from the Rockets press conference, Leslie Alexander is putting the Houston Rockets up for sale. Alexander has owned the team since 1993 when he bought the Rockets for $85 million. No further information has been released as to who will buy the team or how much the franchise will sell for. This news comes at a strange time after locking up James Harden to a massive contract that extends through the 2022-2023 season. More details to come.

Rockets are far sale, Rockets president Tad Brown announces.
