OT - Hornets on the move?

Post #1 » by **Mr. E** » Mon Dec 6, 2010 9:51 pm

With the NBA buying and taking over the New Orleans Hornets, will we see the franchise moved to a new home?

I think that they will make all of the "right" statements about having no intention of moving the team; but they will be looking into places like St. Louis, Las Vegas and Kansas City.

If they do move, I don't think that they'll go to Seattle. I don't think that the NBA returns there until after Stern is gone.

Yeah i thought if they were going to move them it would be to the NW and move OKC to the SW, but evidently that's just not the case. And I would much rather not have the SW Division become that much tougher.

The Bud Adams of the NBA. I don't blame Chris Paul for not wanting to be part of an organization run by an owner like this.

Las Vegas is probably the most likely.

Kansas City -- Maybe, they built a big arena a few years ago with the intention of it hosting an NBA or NHL team.

St. Louis -- Highly doubtful. Crumbling economy, nobody cares much about sports there except baseball.

You bastard.

Any true Houstonian reflexively throws up when they see that name and you KNOW it

That's why I thought it was appropriate....

I reported the post to TMU. No one should ever use the name "Bud Adams" for any reason in Houston.

...dammit! I just did it! OK, better report myself. I accept my upcoming banishment from this forum with a heart full of contrition.

I'm tempted to excuse you due to a combination of the inadvertency, jetpack-defending ray gun thing, and the Butters avatar - but just can't bring myself to do so.

The name which shall not be named is one of the words that this board cannot bear!
