Thanos, you cant expect a metro area of a measly 1.4 million to support two professional franchises, one with almost no history, meanwhile 40% of people in the metro area are dirt poor. It's not just as simple as apathetic fans. Plus, we've never had a perennial playoff team to get that kind of treatment. And if the arena were full every night it would be because it's just the popular thing to do, not like it'd be full of actual basketball fans.
An intelligent response. Which begs the question? Is it time for the Pels to move?
15 years in. All-Stars, Playoff series wins(few and far between, but still),MVP level players.
The “wait until football is over” excuse tells me New Orleans isn’t worthy of an NBA team.
I’ll follow the NBA with or without the Pels in NOLA, like have for most of my life(mid 30s).
New Orleans has an incredible talent playing in front of them for years now and it doesn’t matter to them. They don’t appreciate it.
Part of that is on ownership.

The team will likely still make a profit when Davis leaves so I don't think its necessarily time to move. It's time to stop having New Orleans be one of the poorest cities in the country.
The playoff wins being few and far in between, the nagging thought of the best player leaving, etc is all why we don't have those fans. We never made it to the WCF or ECF, no rings, no real smart investment into the team.
You keep blaming the fans but have you been to New Orleans? Half the city is BROKE. People can't afford to go to a game on a Wednesday, especially if they have kids. I don't think that's a reason to move the team though.
