If the NBA still owned the Hornets and won the lotto, the outrage would have been immense. So instead they sell the team 6 weeks before and then the new owners win the lotto. You'd like to think a deal wasn't done with Benson (and as you said, it wasn't quite as farcical as the Chicago-Rose lotto) but it certainly does look very convenient. The fact the lotto is conducted behind closed doors now really doesn't help. | ||

Don't see that many cons to it.I think Ernst and Young does the actual drawing to make it 'independent'. Not 100% sure on that though. edit: oh teams have people present also, then nvm. Didn't know all this thanks guys. | ||
