Jun 16, 2014 4:05 AM
Saints owner Tom Benson has spoken with NBA commissioner David Stern about purchasing the Hornets, according to a source.
The Hornets are currently owned by the NBA, which is in the process of finding a private ownership group committed to keeping the franchise in New Orleans.
The NBA is believed to be asking about $340 million for the franchise. Benson submitted a bid earlier this year, but isn't fond of the asking price.
