The New Orleans are making progress with a sticky situation despite this whole lockout business. The NBA-owned franchise are pushing forward in their drive to secure 10,000 season ticket holders as the team announced Wednesday that 9,003 have been sold. And there's still a month (or more...) to go before the season starts.

One thing that needs to happen though: The Hornets need an owner. Right now the league maintains ownership but obviously that's not a long-term solution. David Stern said in August there were potential local buyers lining up and now via the Times-Picayune, there could be something brewing on the ownership front.

Sperling travels to Dallas today for a meeting of the NBA Board of Governors, where representatives will be updated on the status of the negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement with the players.
