    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Four months after New Orleans Hornets owner George Shinn and local elected officials announced an agreement in principle to settle their dispute over where to build the team's multimillion-dollar training center, the two sides are expected to commit to the deal in writing today.

    The agreement, spelled out in a letter to Shinn from Mayor Ray Nagin obtained by The Times-Picayune, commits the Hornets to a $2.5 million contribution toward construction of a $10 million multipurpose center adjacent to the Six Flags amusement park in eastern New Orleans and attempts to keep the team in New Orleans for at least another decade. </div>
