All I know is that there is/are ownership group(s) in play. I also think Stern wants to leave Paul decision/trade to purchaser. Problem is the screwed up timing. Decisions have to be made now, IMO

---

There is no decision to be made by an owner. Paul is offered the max deal already and is declining.

I'm not trying to flame here, but haven't you been talking about ownership groups for over a year now?

Yo, Holmes, Stern's thinking isn't my thinking. Maybe he wants the new owner to make whatever trade is done

---

didn't say it was, i'm just a saying holmes.

Also, does anyone know what the value of the Hornets is said to be?

---

The league has been hoping to get $350 million for them.

So why doesn't the "prospective owner" come out and say he wants to back Demps?

---

It may not be down to one yet, it's possible there are still competing bids. It's also possible for the deal to fall through until it's signed so Stern kind of has a duty to maintain the value. If this crop of buyers fell through would the next buyers in line try and pay less for a lesser on court product?

I can throw in about 75 mil or so

Well, I'm in college, so I only have about 3K to my name.

That puts us at $224,994,000 left to go. Maybe I should ask the OT ballers
