The Savior of New Orleans Basketball: David Stern

He was crushed all over the place. CRUSHED.
But he did what he said he would: did everything he could to keep the team here. And he did.
He had the owners buy the team. He sat on it until he could find a committed buyer. He went TO Benson to gauge his interest. He vetoed a trade that would have saddled the franchise with massive player salaries, and we now have cap space and 2 lottery picks.
Props to David Stern: The Man who Saved New Orleans Basketball.

I was giddy when that LAL trade was shot down. I had an epic meltdown when it was first announced. That was just a bad trade.

This happens and I'll proclaim the team the New Orleans Davids.. or maybe we could stick with what that other guy said since it's Friday the 13th.. New orleans Jasons..
Eh.. lets just combine the two.
New Orleans Jason Davids!!....
