New York-based LHB Sports, Entertainment & Media. Scarsdale President Lee Burke said in an interview, "A lot of fans in Houston and throughout the state are going to want to see the Rockets play. Comcast SportsNet will have more leverage in getting deals done."
Dwight Howard signed an $88 million, four-year deal with the Rockets opting not to stay with the Lakers for five more years.
