This organization would be better off not playing second fiddle to a football team.
Where, in Seattle? The only other legit local owner candidate was then minority owner Gary Chouest. From the rumors that were circulating at the time he basically had a fixed percentage of his fortune he was willing to dedicate to the team and wouldn't go any more. That's not unreasonable except he wasn't even willing to meet the league's asking price. I seriously doubt he would have spent tens of millions building a new state of the art practice facility like Benson did. Pre Benson the Hornets had to practice at a substandard facility that was out of the way. The Shinn Hornets also used the GM watching YouTube clips in place of a scouting department. It'd be one thing if you were trying to say Benson isn't good enough, but trying to say Shinn was better is just absurd.

Chouest took a hit financially sometime around then as well, I believe.
The Bensons arent spending an extra dime on the Pels.
At least Shinn made one last run.
As far as scouting, I’m with you there...but The Bensons are 3 years behind the cuvre with the GLeague.
A GLeague team would be a tremendous help to a parent squad where money is tight.
But as long as The Bensons are getting $aints dollars the Pels are second in importance.
Maybe it’s time to take on some partners.
