It's cool that we're playing as the Hornets in the summer league, but it feels kind of wrong that it won't be in Charlotte. I'd take off time from work to watch us play in the summer league if the first game was in Charlotte.

He asked the one about whether Chris Paul and New Orleans Hornets players would be recognized as Charlotte Hornets.

gotta say, i've been very critical of basketball ops for the bobcats in the past. i really think they're nailing this transition so far. everything is breaking the way it *should*, and that's a real accomplishment given the complicated process and tricky changes.
