The choice of a local majority owner best fits both sides, notes the same source. The 85-year old Benson first became firmly interested in buying the Hornets at the urging of Stern due to the desire of both men to make sure the franchise is firmly entrenched in the Crescent City long term.

Translation: Chouest was too cheap to buy the team and Stern didn't think Raj had enough local interest. Thank you Commissioner Stern. Now go put those lottery envelopes in the freezer.

This is in Benson's long-term interests on multiple fronts, IMHO.
It's good for his legacy for one, but it also maintains the value of the Superdome and surrounding buildings, which I'm pretty sure Benson now owns and leases back to the state of LA as part of his most recent agreement.
