And what a 180 in the perceptions of Benson in the past 6 years and Stern in the past 6 months among NOLA sports fans.
Stern is the biggest winner in all of this.

P.S. ESPN hates the Hornets. I don't see this on the site anywhere.
It's there now and this is in the article:

His ownership of the Hornets means the two small-market franchises both will be locally owned and now can work as partners in their efforts to attract corporate sponsorships,
Does anyone, besides this author, think the Saints are a small market team? Sounds silly to me.

I thought it was funny that the Saints twitter feed was giving info throughout the day, not the Hornets, lol.

Serious?

Hornets probably couldn't really say anything before official announcement.

Uh, other than Green Bay, it's probably the smallest market in the NFL. May be another one I'm not thinking about.

Hornets get sold and Kevin love could be out for the year?

They spent a decade villifying Benson and he buys the other team in New Orleans.

But wait, Benson's pockets aren't deep enough to buy the Hornets.

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

He's decided to shite on Benson because he was wrong...sour grapes
"Benson isn't some great owner. No Drew Brees, no Superbowl." NO shite KAARE!
No Chris Paul, no playoffs...

douchebag on Houston radio said it doesn't matter who bought the team....they'll be out of New Orleans within 5 years.

I'll be honest and say that I didn't think Benson had the juice. From what I had heard at the beginning of the ownership quagmire, it just wasn't going to happen.
Happily, I stand corrected

Kaare has been on the outs with the Benson people for awhile now. That's firsthand, believe me. This whole thing is just killing him right now.
He's actually not that bad a guy irl, btw.
