If you win MegaMillions tonight, would you buy the Hornets?

[ElNono]

What say you?

There's a "lottery team" joke there somewhere...

[DPG21920]

[DMC]

I would buy them and turn them into the WNBA team they should be.

[Ryan Fitzpatrick]

Yes, and I would hire George Zimmerman as Head of Security at the arena.

[DPG21920]

You can buy the hornets for what? 300 thousand? That seems generous.

[DMC]

And have hoodie night where everyone in a hoodie gets free skittles and Arizona Ice Tea.

The Hornets' agreement with the state of Louisiana on a new lease that will keep the team playing at New Orleans Arena through 2024 all but ensures that team isn't going anywhere for the next decade.When the sale of the team is completed in the next few weeks -- the league, I'm told, is holding out for $340 million, which would provide the Commish with the small profit he's insisted upon since the league bought the team from prior owner George Shinn in December, 2010.

[ElNono]

You should get a discount for having Eric Gordon under contract...

Reality TV just got even better

[DPG21920]

340 mil? Has to be a typo, I think they meant 340 thousand.

[NRHector]

I would buy the Saints and the Hornets as a freebie

[100%duncan]

^+1

[lefty]

I would buy them for 5$ and sell them to BRHornet45 for 50 000 000 $

He'll bite.

[TDMVPDPOY]

not worth wasting my money on if there was a debt obligation that hasnt been disclose yet

[NRHector]

I'm getting the Lakers a new coach

You don't need to win the lottery to get that you're getting a new coach for free next year anyway

[Pelicans78]

All the debt has been paid off. The Hornets have been profitable ever since the NBA bought it. They've sold alot of tickets, have good sponsorship, and decent TV ratings. The new owner will need to be as efficient as the NBA has been. Its not hard to do as well. Just don't let idiots run the organization.

[LkrFan]

no! You wrong for this El!

[Killakobe81]

Nah wouldnt do that not unless the ping pong balls land me Davis.

But who is that lucky to win 2 lottos in that short a span?

Baron Davis or Ricky Davis?

[Jacob1983]

I'd pay the Wolves a decent amount of money to trade Kevin Love to the Grizzlies for OJ Mayo. The NBA would finally have Gay Love. Stern would love it.

[Rapper]

I would buy the san antonio spurs.....wait....wait..... is it enough???

[Latarian Milton]

i'd buy up the whole NO city tbh, the money should be enough imho

[MattBonnerExperience]

I would deffiantly buy any NBA team if I won the lotto, I would even buy the hornets. I would love to be able to turn that franchise around. I don't know why you would not, once your the owner you can turn all the loses into wins eventually.
