Oh god, not another team. :hmm: It's good to have an even number of teams, but i don't know if we should add one. And it takes expansion teams years to become decent. The Grizzlies still don't have a winning season. Also, why is Charlotte getting a new team? They didn't support their last one, why will this franchise get support?

because they DID support their team until ownership started acting like pricks.

Does basketball have Expansion drafts?

Real fans support their team, not their owners. Just because owners are acting like "pricks", that has nothing to do with how fans support their team. The Lions have had one of the worst owners in all of sports for the last 50+ years, and they still sell out every game, and they set a record for most season tickets sold in a year last year. But all i know is, the Hornets could sell out playoff games, and i didn't hear a whole lot of complaining when they moved, like most cities do when they lose an organization.

I am so glad that Charlotte finally get another new team. I really missed going to the Hornets games for years... I dont understand why they moved to New Orleans... I can't wait till the 2004 season so i can go to CHarlotte games!! It is shame because N.C is basketball country!!! :clap2:
