....but I suppose it's a decent one.

(BTW, as expected Tom Benson denies being interested in purchasing the Hawnitz.....without actually denying it.)

of course he has interest but realistically, does he have the money?

Lol yeah. People that complain about Duncan should read Hornets beat writers/columnists. They're horrible.

yes, he's a billionaire. I think the realistic question is "Is he ready to face a possible lock out in two separate sports?"

I heard rumblings on from Larry Holder about Morris Bart being seriously interested.

Yeah seems like the Morris Bart rumor has some legs to it. He's trying to put a group together to come up with enough money to buy according to the guys on this thread

There's mention of a possible local buyer on ESPN's Insider rumor section so it may be Morris Bart

This was a pretty funny response:

To do my part I'm going to slam on my brakes and get rear ended tomorrow morning.....and then I'm gonna call Morris Bart

A billionaire? Really. How do you figure?

As I see it, he's got most of his wealth tied up in the Saints which could be valued at @ 800million.

So what is he gonna do... Leverage the Saints to buy the Hornets?

bad idea.

Just think...

NFL could possibly be locked out and the NBA has an opportunity to have huge year as fans would look to fill their sports entertainment needs (especially in NFL cities like NOLA) BUT the NBA will be locked out also. It's a shame.
