The Houston Rockets are officially on the market.
Rockets CEO Tad Brown announced on Monday that owner Leslie Alexander is putting the team—and Clutch City Sports & Entertainment—up for sale.

Alexander bought the franchise for $85 million ($144 million adjusted for inflation) in 1993, and reportedly could sell the team for more than $2 billion.
Adjusted for inflation, Alexander bought Rockets for $144M. If it sells for $2.9B (plausible), he'll have a 20-fold return on investment.
