Agenda lists discussion of all THREE offers. Not two, and not just an approval for the one most are claiming (Benson) #StayTuned

It could still be Benson, and it could still be today, but agenda does specifically say those in meeting will discuss all 3 options

So Benson is by far the most powerful man in New Orleans now.

Good, this keeps the Hornets in New Orleans. Now all the NBA needs to do is rig the draft lottery and we are set.
