New Orleans is such an apathetic city for basketball! Granted I know the Hornets/Pelicans have mostly sucked since they've been in town, but since mid 2012, the Pelicans have had AD, one of the the best NBA basketball players in the world and the fans don't even support the team regularly. Local news doesn't even give a toot!

1. Get Benson the heck outta ownership and find someone competent.
2. Fire Demps (Give Gentry one full season with new management).
3. Move out of New Orleans (options = Seattle, Las Vegas, Kansas City, Virginia Beach, Mexico City).

Or do the complete opposite and I'll still be a fan. :noway:

All the Pelican fans I know of are from LA and they say their fans are apathetic. I don't hear much about the team moving, but you and I both know LA has terrible basketball fans. It's all about the Aints down there.

Unfortunately it could be the reason why they loss the original New Orleans Jazz team in the first place :-?

I'm not a Pels fan nor rubbing salt into any wounds here. But I'm curious as to why the move originally happened all those years ago?

I think the owner at the time, David Stern, wanted Charlotte to build a new arena and they wouldn't do it?
