No it'll confuse people. Why would a hornets jersey (an opposing nba franchise) have a jersey retired in the Pelicans rafters.
It'd be like the saints having a Baltimore Ravens jersey hanging from the roof.

if cp3 gets retired it will be a pelicans #3 jersey hanging from the rafters... he never played for charlotte so that wouldn't make sense, even if they are now the Hornets again

Personally I like the move. New Orleans fans don't have any real connection to the early days of the Charlotte Hornets, but many, many people in Charlotte do. Let them have it. Pels fans don't care that Charlotte sold out 350 straight games (or whatever it was).

Hats off to Benson for giving up something that doesn't mean much to NOLA fans and means a lot to Charlotte fans.
