    With the new CBA in place, one would think Stern and Co.'s next order of business would be trying to find an owner for the Hornets.

    Does the new CBA, which make owning an NBA team a little less burdensome financially, help? Will Stern have to relinquish his dream of having an NBA team in New Orleans and sell to an owner who would move the team? Or does that damage the league's PR too much?

    We should all pitch in and have ClutchFans buy the team. We could then trade CP3 to the Rockets, sell every other player off for cash, field a horrible team, and get bought out by the NBA after a few years of intentional mismanagement. I'm sure it would make us money and help the Rockets. What could go wrong. I'm in for $20.00.

    They should offer CP3 for Russell Westbrook.

    Works for both sides.

    Chris Paul's first choice is to play for the Knicks, sources say. He's willing to wait & sign w/NYK as free agent next summer.

    No need for intentional mismanagement, just appoint DD as the GM.

    I think Stern and Co. had a better plan for the team and I really do hope they're not selling it..

    Don't they have to sell it? I'd hate to have a franchise be league owned and operated. Although, maybe Stern doesn't finalize the sale until Paul gets traded to the Knicks for a 2nd round pick.

    LOL, I'm worried that he'd eventually find a diamond in the rough that would evolve into a superstar. He's bound to get at least one prospect right.

    Just name me the GM, I'll make sure Houston gets some good players and begin a "youth movement" in New Orleans.
