Okay, About Ownership

I hate posting anything I've heard anymore because of the couple of tools that always give me grief. But, frick it, I'll share some info that I think is positive. This is based on three separate casual conversations in the last week. None of it's news, per se, but the info is current if you know what I mean.

Apparently, Gary Chouest remains very much interested in buying a majority ownership interest in the team. Buddy Bart is solid for another 10% (he's made no secret of this). Conversations are ongoing with the state in terms of arena upgrades and a new lease. Chouest is "very active with the team and the state when it comes to the Hornets" . . .what that means I'm not sure. That's just the way it was expressed to me in a five minute conversation. By the way, I was also told by someone else who's connected with the league that if Chouest buys the team, he will be one of the three wealthiest owners in the NBA. I'd never thought about that.

Confidence is very high that the 10,000 season ticket target will be met. They're ahead of schedule.

Timing of any announcement regarding ownership is interesting. I wouldn't expect to hear much until the end of the season. Maybe the summer?

Only bummer is that there's a lot of uncertainty as to what CP3 will do. But that's par for the course.

Okay, that's it. Only reason I posted is that I feel good about local ownership happening. Take your shots.
