I juest seen a thread which was quickly deleted that Chouest Purchase the Hornets for 376 m. Is it any truth behin that?
It got deleted. What does that tell you?
had no source that he reported or anything... Wasn't the posters name Downtown? if it's not true have to make him the first poster on my "hate list"
Downman has never been the kind to shoot out crazy rumors, from what I saw in his posts. I really want to believe him, but it's hard to when you don't have a source. Anyone can say it.
CHOUEST JUST BOUGHT A BAG OF DORITOS AND AN ICEE FROM CIRCLE K FOR $3.52
See?
I think you mean: Chouest was going to buy a bag of Doritos and an Icee but offered $1.75 and stormed off in a huff when he was outbid by the six year old behind him. On the way out, however, he did manage to tell everyone else in line how passionate he was about Doritos and Icees.
As long as it wasn't Antler who made the thread....
Not trying to say any truth to it, but I did receive a text about the same time from a "secret source" within a certain company that said the exact same thing as Downman.
PS: the statement above sounds like I'm making fun, but in all seriousness i wasn't poking fun. I did receive a text from someone within a company that I cannot release the info on without giving it away, ya know?

lmao, no UnKnown. Although Hugo is my homeboy.
someone within the organization (dont ask me who please) stated that Chouest has placed a bid to purchase the team for 376 mil. the state needs to finalize it and pens need to touch paper. all true info. no trolling. no **** stirring.
He texted it!
You mean, Gary decided to pay the full $3.76 for the Icee and Doritos, after all?
I won't ask who, but where?

Damn, good point. Shoulda gone $3.76 and not a random number.
Joke ruined. Sad day.
He heard the bird is the word.
I sure hope that's true.
I laughed much harder at this than I should've. But seriously... I pretty much trust Downman, atleast I have no reason not to. And Seuz Crazy knows not to lie... He is a very easy person to target, being the only puple person at games and whatnot :hihi: I'll just hope you guys have your facts straight.
Never in this entire debacle have I doubted the sincerity of the people reporting the information. Always, however, have I doubted the reliability of the sources. And/or what they're reporting are actual facts as opposed to information leaks designed to manipulate other parties involved.
also i got word that he wants to change the name of the team to "the new orleans subsonics" :)
Downman is solid, I trust him he started showing up around the time Chouest got involved correct? Plus Like another poster said The Purple Hornet wouldn't throw out something like this considering EVERY HORNETS FAN knows who he is. Feeling much better today than I was last night that's for damn sure
Oh God. It's the Chris Paul trade over and over again. A source of a source told me that sources close to the situation say Chouest bought the team.
lol, I'm not saying this is true info or it WILL happen. I'm just saying that Downman's post, while a bit CAPITALIZED AND FINAL SOUNDING, might have some credibility and shouldn't be dismissed or deleted so quickly.
If it turns out to be true, GREAT...if not, please don't come after my Purple'ness to jump me. I already have fear of that from 'other sites' for no apparent reason lol.
This is make or break time for Downman, become a legend, or become the biggest troll on this site in history. Either way, Downman won and earned my respect lol
The **** did I put that ban him gif
Some people were a little leery of Chouest's in-and-out handling of this situation. But then after a rumor is released saying an out-of-towner was going to be the majority owner, everyone is ecstatic to hear this potential news of Chouest owning the team. The threat of a non-local got everyone on board with Gary.
Very interesting...
Conspiracy theory?
I'm not leery of Chouest as an owner just leery of the fact he'd be willing to pay enough to be majority owner.
Ahhhhhh, good ole conspiracy theories. As long as the majority owner is either Benson or Chouest I don't care how it gets done. What I find weird is that there has been no leaks to mainstream media at all, then somehow with only a week left in the month that Stern claimed the Hornets would b sold in, last nights leak happens.
Benson has pulled his plug out
Benson pulled plug but will help new owner in state lease negotiation.
So...who is the new owner? :D
