Let me get this straight; when the Charlotte Hornets were there, very few fans came (lots of fans first few years; then the music died).
So Charlotte moves to New Orleans, and the commish says that Charlotte can have another franchise?
huh?!?!?
Agreed! I think it's so odd how this seems to become the trend with franchises and sports moves...
Happened twice now in the NFL:
The Browns move to Baltimore... so Cleveland gets a new franchise.
The Oilers move to Tenessee... so Houston gets a new franchise.
If it didn't work there once, what makes you think it's gonna work there again?!?

Charlotte NBA fans are great fans, but they stopped coming to the games when it was apparent that their scumbag owner Shinn was ruining the team without caring about the city at all. They loved Muggsy, 'Zo, and LJ - but Shinn let the team collapse because he was cheap. I can't blame them for not caring anymore. Watch the fan base at the new team's games, I guarantee you they will be crazy. North Carolina is the best basketball hotbed out there (apologies to Indiana and high-school hoops).

LOL
I know the guy can name it what he wants but come on Bobcats. LOL
That's so unoriginal.
What was his final two names Bobcats and Wildcats and then he just flipped a coin?Selling all my cards here updated as of July------------> Hidden Content

The NBA doesn't need another franchise. They already have enough crappy teams that will never be any good.

Bobcat was the status you were given in cub scouts after completing a few good deeds, then came wolf, followed by bear.
I know with baseball, expansion teams lower the bar in quality players and home runs increase overall throughout MLB. How does an expansion team effect the NBA?

It makes the play of the game worse because there is not enough "quality" players.
If you add another team you need 5 more starters and when you look at how many teams lack good players you'll realize that they don't NEED another team.
Most teams don't even have enough big men to play center. They have power forwards playing that position.

an expansion team means that when the Lakers / Spurs are playing them, it's a boring game, with the outcome already decided before the tipoff

Bobcats isn't too bad. I like that better than Flight. Flight sounds like a WNBA team.

Just look at the Raptors and Grizzlies.
It has been years since they came into the league and they still can't compete.
