全美最大的餐飲公司——Landry的老闆，億萬富豪蒂爾曼-費爾蒂塔說他有興趣買下休斯頓火箭隊。

"I've always had an interest in the Rockets," Fertitta told KRIV-TV in Houston. "It's one of Houston's four major teams. It would be exciting. This is my home. I've looked at other teams, but it's hard to be involved with another team when Houston is your home."

我一直關注火箭隊。”費爾蒂塔在休斯頓接受KRIV採訪時說道“火箭隊是休斯頓四個主要的職業球隊之一，休斯頓是我的家，買下火箭隊是一件令人興奮的事情。我也有關注其他球隊，但是當休斯頓是你家時，你很難愛上其他球隊。”

Fertitta said he'd keep the Rockets in Houston.

費爾蒂塔說過如果買下火箭隊，他會將火箭隊留在休斯頓。

An original investor in the Houston Texans, Fertitta offered $81 million to buy the Rockets in 1993, but the team was sold to current owner Leslie Alexander for $85 million.
