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.
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.

I moved to S. florida back in 02. When the Heat got Shaq I just decided to become a Heat fan. The hornets franchise had just worn me out by then, even the move to New Orleans couldn't keep me interested. I will say I'm surprised CP3 is still on the team. His rookie year when it was obvious what a stud he was the first thing I thought was they are going to trade him for Gary Payton or some shite.

The Hornets front office isn't nearly as bad as makign it out to be. Peja even when signed and he was good everyone knew it was too much..but the hornets had to have somebody they could bank on. And without Peja we don't make that run a few years ago.
They drafted quality guys..just the old coach wouldn'tp lay them.sure they had a few reach bust...but they succeeded more than failed when it comes to draft.
Posey was a retarded signing...and thats where our front office tends to show its one weakness...big contracts to wrong people. They are really good at getting cheaper/young players that work. I think they learned their lesson on over paying now.
