| Summary: | The agreement leaves the Hornets one step shy of ending [Alonzo Mourning]'s holdout, which has kept him out of training camp, the Hornets' entire preseason schedule and the first three games of the regular season. The team still must reduce its payroll to fit Mourning's first-season money under the NBA's $14 million-per-team salary cap. Hornets president Spencer Stolpen and David Falk, Mourning's attorney, have been negotiating for months. Hornets owner George Shinn and John Thompson, Mourning's college coach, expanded their roles in the talks last week, bringing the sides closer. Hornets coach Allan Bristow, speaking before Charlotte's 112-108 victory over the Orlando Magic last night, said he hoped the Hornets wouldn't act hastily. |
