George "the greedy b@st@rd" Shinn wants $24-30M more than Hornets are worth

New Orleans Hornets sale remains in limbo as the two parties are $24 million to $30 million apart in negotiations, sources say

LAS VEGAS — The New Orleans Hornets’ transfer of ownership remains stalled because co-owners George Shinn and Gary Chouest are $24 million to $30 million apart in negotiations, according to two sources.

Chouest’s unwillingness to agree to Shinn’s estimated value of the team is why he is seeking outside investors, sources close to the situation said.

Chouest also is leery about the potential for a lockout after next season if the league owners and players association cannot finalize a new collective bargaining.

Since negotiations stalled several weeks ago, Shinn and Chouest barely are on speaking terms, sources said. But Hornets President Hugh Weber denied the assertions Friday, saying both owners speak and collaborate on all team-related business — but they are not in a rush to get the transfer completed.

It will be good to see this asshole out of the NBA. He destroyed the entire fanbase of Charlotte NBA fans. People forget this but the fans in Charlotte used to pack the stadium to the tune of 20,000 plus a night and led the league in attendance year after year until they literally starting boycotting the team because of various sex abuse trials the dude got involved in. He was a massive pariah in Charlotte. Even Shinn admitted that his "indiscretions" cost the city the team (http://www.charlotteobserver.com/200...charlotte.html). People basically boycotted because of him, that's how much they hated the cocksucker.
