Seriously, what's the point of rooting for a team if they can't make any major moves?

I didn't know what the point of rooting for a team that needed direct state subsidies and fake season ticket sales to exist in the first place.

Hard to argue with that, but college basketball is glorified intramurals and baseball doesn't start still April.

Contract New Orleans, Charlotte, Toronto and the LA Clippers and no one would notice or care.

[Pelicans78]

Maybe the MLB should have contracted the Rangers as well.

Why? They are profitable.

I omitted a word, genius.

[BRHornet45]

no you didn't. you misspelled it. don't try and lie.

[ChumpDumper]

no you didn't. you misspelled it. don't try and lie.

No, and what would it matter? I misspell and mistype words all the time.

Sure does distract from your weak argument about the Rangers though. I'll grant you that.

[BRHornet45]

son what was it I said about the Rangers? damn you're just ing up like crazy tonight!

[ElNono]

bump

the owners weren't lining up to buy the Hornets because for over a year everyone has known that a lockout could occur. that is the sole reason why minority owner Gary Chouest backed out almost a year ago. now that we are in the clear, the Hornets will have a new owner within the next month. watch

What happened son? Where are the owners lining up to buy the team?
