When we were Hornets, did they used to say "that's a hornets franchise record" (including Charlotte days)?
Does our franchise history date back to the Charlotte Hornets days of L Johnson and co.?

If so, do the Charlotte Bobcats (soon to resume Charlotte hornets again) include Alonzo and L Johndon days when referring to Charlotte Hornets Franchise history?

The New Orleans basketball history now includes the hornets when they got to NOLA and all things Pels

It'd be like if saints moved to Texas and changed to Texas saints


They'd say Texas saints running back is approaching deuce mccallisters franchise record.



Then a new NFL team later created called New Orleans brass is made.
We'd have no record books.


Then Texas saints change their name to Texas tarpons.
(Still have Brees and deuc as their franchise record holders)


New Orleans brass (with a 3 year franchise history and no saints players in their records) decides to change to New Orleans Saints because the name is available.

Would the new orleans saints never be able to refer to someone compared to drew Brees in New Orleans saints franchise records?

It's very simple. Chris Paul records are Pelicans records. Bobcats' Adam Morrison played for the Hornets.

ANY NOLA players will be reflected in Pelicans history. If you played for the city of Charlotte no matter what the team name is, you will be reflected in Hornets records.

David Wesley and Baron Davis will historically be seen as playing for two franchises I guess.
