After reading that I really have no idea what group I would prefer. All of them have their positives and negatives.
The experience of the group organized by the former player, coach, and GM seems intriguing but it would make me a bit nervous for the long term future beyond the new signed lease. Though I guess one way to look at it is that if it isn't working by then they don't need to be here anyway. I believe the rumors of the length of the new lease is till 2025?????
The great news in all of this is that it looks like my kids will be able to grow up attending NBA basketball games, where I had to go to Houston to see games. Thats the bottom line for me at this point.

I'd be nervous about a lot more than that. Unless it's an old timer we're not thinking of, the OP is right and Isaiah is the only one that fits. With his track record we may want him to move the team after he wrecks it.

Frankly, each has its benefits.
Chouest with his diehard interest in basketball, familiarity with the team and local contacts. But how frugal of an owner would he be? Who would he bring in? I'm thinking he would pretty much keep the current people in place for now.
Benson? His people have experience in running a pro franchise, and he's got access to sponsorships. But I wonder about the Hornets always playing "second fiddle" to the Saints.
As far as the NBA group is concerned, I was skeptical at first. But if the lead guy does have local ties and family and is relocating to New Orleans, maybe there's no problem. That group would certainly have NBA experience, and maybe that would be a good thing.
But I agree it's all pretty good news. The team will be here for the foreseeable future and have a realistic chance to build a fan base.
