Unless we got an equal or greater superstar you can kiss meeting any attendance benchmarks goodbye.


It doesn't even matter if the team gets better. The mass public will abandon the hornets with the quickness if CP leaves in any way in the near future.

I'm a hornets fan first so if trading CP meant more wins and better chances in the playoffs consistently than I'd be all for it. I'm just saying that casual fans in the arena (as in most of the fans in the arena) will not return.

Truthfully though, if you know about the CBA situation you know there is a solid chance there will be a work stoppage in the NBA. The owners are looking to crush the players and the next CBA will most likely be structured in a way that teams won't have the cap room to make the major free agents signings like the heat did. CP isn't going to be able to leave us to form a super team most likely.

If we lose him before new LA ownership is in place LA can kiss the Hornets goodbye.

You can also kiss the team goodbye.

the heat cleared cap and signed guys under that cap. that will ALWAYS be an option

you just have to have a team/city that players want to play for
