George Shinn was set to sell a majority share of the Hornets to local billionaire Gary Chouest. But the deal has reportedly fallen through. "Chouest didn't step up," a league source said.

The Hornets' ownership situation figures to have long-term implications for the team's attempt to surround Chris Paul with talent and keep him in New Orleans. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/b...s/basketball/knicks (Sports/Basketball/Knicks
