You are bitching about what the home office has done with the hornets in new orleans? Imagine if you were a fan of theirs when they were in Charlotte. They went from the top attendance in the league to getting run out of town for a very good reason. lol.

Yeah, they had awesome home crowds back in the day. It must have been fun to watch one of the most exciting young teams in the NBA. Mourning, LJ, Musgsy...

And then Shinn traded Mourning and LJ. They became a team centered around Glenn Rice, who was great but just one wing player. Then they traded Rice for Eddie Jones. It was a steady downgrade. The fans were pissed because their favorite players were given away just as they became great.

The NO equivalent would be Shinn trading Paul for Rudy Gay and when Gay peaks, trading him for Luol Deng. Then Collison would lead them to within a game of the WCF and the team would move to Seattle a year later.

Lucky for NO, the FO seems to have made some good moves since the Okafor trade.
