Tilman Fertitta: Harden and Westbrook deserve a ring

Fertitta: I think we have as good a chance as anybody.

Houston Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta talks with Jonathan Feigen about his team’s potential when the season returns, and, obviously, about the two stars, Russell Westbrook and James Harden.

“I don’t think I can have two better guys to try to lead us to a championship, and they deserve it for their legacy. I want them to win a championship for their legacy because they are two of the greatest players at what they do that have ever played the game. Nobody deserves a championship more than James Harden, Russell Westbrook, P.J. Tucker, Eric Gordon and Austin Rivers, guys like Robert Covington. They deserve a ring. We’re going to do everything in our power to make that happen.”

There’s nothing more important than winning a championship. If I could buy a championship, I would write out a check and do it. I’m never going to let a player or a tax keep me from winning a championship”

Before the suspension the Rockets were fifth in the Western Conference standings with 40 wins over 64 games.
