Is he really that obtuse?


Yes. I'm assuming the tweets are from Jason Calmes/42. He is a weird motherfricker. Just read his posts on HR as 42. Very strange.

If #NBA approves Tom Benson as #Hornets owner he would be sole owner. No group involved.

Let's just remember that nothing is official yet.

The WWLTV report says Benson is "working" on the deal.

So, caution.

I believe the BOG meetings end today so bids should be final at this point. Yes the BOG has to approve but all the smoke pointing to Benson suggests he is Stern's recommendation to the Board. At the very least this should be much more than the posturing/negotiating rumors we've been hearing for months.
