3 way trade I say

One thing Benson has learned is that a winner makes the owner more money than a loser. I like this if it is true. He is 84 and counting but his grandaughter is a smart young women who has a lot to do with the Saints success. Look for him to hire a greaat business manager to be president and gm, and that guy in turn a great coach. Actually I think we currently have a gerat coach who could do a lot with some first line NBA players.

Their current GM has done a very good job so far.

Are they proud of their Bobcats in Utah?

Agree 100%. By the looks of the personnel he's brought in, I think Demps has done a pretty good job. As of last week the Hornets led the NBA in the number of starting lineups at 23. Injuries have really killed them this year. I think most this year were expecting them to be as bad as the Wizards and Bobcats have been but that hasn't been the case, and I think that is a big reflection on both Demps and Monty. Benson better keep both.

Watched the press conference today on CST. Plenty of praise was lavished on everybody all the way down to the peanut vendor.

The sale will be finalized upon the state following through and that is expected.

Stern pretty much cut of questions about two things. The first being name change. He said that could be broached when the deal is final. The other was a question about Drew Brees. He told the ESPN reporter the question was off base for this press conference. Also did not close the door getting back Jazz name. He said each owner owns their own names, but can get creative.

Upon final sale New Orleans set to get 2014 All Star game. Mitch also made pitch for 2018 because that is the 300th birthday of the city.

I'd be willing to bet they have more bobcats in Utah.

1. THE NEW ORLEANS JAZZ (Bring the name back where it BELONGS.)

2. The CHARLOTTE Hornets (Same as above)

3. The Utah Bobcats (or maybe Cougars?)
