Interesting I never knew the Jazz were in New Orleans.

But, you’re right they didn’t change their name to fit their surroundings. But, they did throw snow-capped peaks behind the “Jazz” logo. I guess that makes sense, lol.

Can Nawlins honestly support 2 pro teams? I doubt it, very few NBA teams are actually breaking EVEN let alone making a profit. He’ll sell them w/i 5 yrs cause he’ll be losing money hand over fist

This has just about as much relevance to football at this article does. Go talk about the NBA over on PBT.

Who the hell would want to buy the Hornets? Good luck raising that team from the ashes. Good luck keeping them in NO for that matter.

————————————————-

Love the uninformed…

New lease through 2024 (pending approval through legislation). So if you mean keeping them in NO for more than 12 years you suddenly are informed.

Also, in basketball, a player or two makes a team relevant really quickly. You know like drafting well with the Timberwolves pick and the Hornets Lottery pick. Also add in a healthy Gordon, Ariza, Landry, and Jack and the team could be relevant in a year.

Nonetheless, back to football – love the Payton comments.

The same thing was said about the Saints, look at us now, Superbowl Champs 2009, and still a powerhouse, even as Goddell tries to gut our team and make it easy for the other 31 teams. Not gonna happen though.

Sorry someone took your Supersonics. I like Seattle, but let’s face it, the rest of the United States doesn’t care about that city.

(I’m sure it would be extremely difficult for all of us to take a year off and have to go spend some of our 10′s of millions of dollars… oh wait, that’s just Sean)

At least for Benson, it’s another arena for him to dance around with his umbrella.

Lol. Serious question, Sean can have no contact with the Saints, but if he’s “working with the Hornets” and new owner Benson is that still illegal?

Just curious…
