>>8957 The guy who owned the Charlotte Hornets was, like most owners, a money-grubbing douchebag. The city of Charlotte wouldn't buy him a new arena (CRY MOAR), so he moved the team to New Orleans where they had a mostly new arena, more box seats, and more season-ticket pledges. Then he moved his team there and never changed the name, never embraced the culture, and never spent money, because once again, he's a money-grubbing douchebag. The team was going to fail even if Katrina never came.
Meanwhile, the Sonics get sold to a God-loving hick from OKC (a state in which it was illegal to get a tattoo until 2007) and even though Seattle won't buy him a new arena either, I'm not sure he ever planned to keep the team there.
So to the OP... we're about to have 2 homeless NBA franchises. St. Louis or Kansas City could get a team yet. But not Jacksonville or El Paso, because nobody gives a fuck.
