Hornets to be rebranded once local ownership deal is finalized

[BRHornet45]

Once-decimated Hornets now one of NBA's most promising franchises

Over the next few weeks, the Hornets are expected to be sold by the NBA to an ownership group that will be obligated to keep the franchise in New Orleans until 2024. In May, the Hornets will attend the draft lottery with a chance at winning the No. 1 pick and the rights to center Anthony Davis, a potential franchise star who happens to be leading Kentucky into the Final Four this weekend in New Orleans. The Hornets will enter July with gobs of cap space to be used in free agency or trades, to go with a future All-Star in USA Basketball guard Eric Gordon, and two 21-year-old former lottery picks in Al-Farouq Aminu and Xavier Henry.

In years to come, there promises to be a new cable-TV partnership, the NBA All-Star Game will return to the city, the New Orleans Arena will undergo $50 million in improvements, and the franchise, in all likelihood, will be rebranded. The "Hornets" nickname, which followed the team to New Orleans during its 2002 relocation from Charlotte, will probably be replaced by an identity more fitting to the city to which the team is now married, for better and for worse. Though everyone involved hopes the worst is now far behind them.

They could do fun half time contests like where they set up two cardboard houses at mid-court and have two people rush in and out taking valuables and who collects the most wins.

[DPG21920]

They could do educational night where they teach kids the difference between subsidy ticket sales & actual attendance.

I might apply for their marketing director

DPG with the very un-DPG-like goods.

Halftime show could be NOPD beating Eliots down and then finishing them off.

[jag]

They could always do Felon 3-point shooting contests where they pick 3 felons out of those in attendance to a compete for free Popeye's chicken.

BR I hate to be the one to tell you this, but that was not a compliment. Saying a team "tries really hard" is the nice way of saying they're scrubs. Like food in your teeth when talking - I thought you should know.

New Orleans Nutria

They can follow the Mavs lead and get a group of fat guys to entertain the crowd. Slap a Wilford Brimley costume on them and say hello The Diabeetus Dancers.

It really should be the Jazz.

Hope they can convince Utah to give them their name back. Then in Utah can finally use that alibi to change their name to what they've always wanted: the Mormons

Wow, did you come up with that 7 years ago? I would say you could do better, but you probably can't.

What do you think about these?

Honestly, it seems you're the ones who needs to learn what a subsidy is.

Wouldn't be as fun as seeing 3 Mexicans shoot for free tacos. That's always more entertaining, especially the fat ones with the stupid mustaches.

[Pelicans78]

The Hornets are gonna be dead in New Orleans. Benson said it so himself. He says the name means nothing in New Orleans.
