whats with all the people starting these rumors? Does make you popular on here if you were the first person to crack the new owner news? Big deal. Stop gassing people up only so they can be crushed later on. Everyone has to be patient about this. The NBA doesnt plan to own our team forever. /thread
Then don't read.

You haven't earned enough clout here to tell someone not to read anything.

A Tom Benson-Majority/ Gary Chouest/Morris Bart-Minority would be a HOME RUN for the future of the New Orleans Hornets.

I would be thrilled even if it's just Benson, but I highly doubt he buys the entire stake in the franchise by himself.

Which IMO is good for the fans, city, team, and Monty since him and Tom are good friends

This is great for the city and team if it's Benson. He can rally the city/state to really support the team.

That's been the problem. We don't feel a connection to the team. With Benson being the owner and hopefully a re-brand, that connection will be there for good.
