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 iden y 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.

LOL @ that re ed article bringing up Aminu and Henry as if they're bright young stars to build around and not disappointing busts who'll be working at KFC in 5 years.
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.
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.
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.
wtf didnt they recently had a ASG?
yes son in 2008. they won't get another one for a while though. I'm hearing 2016-18
