Just a day or so away from the official start to the NBA All-Star break, David Stern had an interview with ESPN where he stated that some of the NBA’s owners would not be opposed to contracting the Hornets in upcoming labor negotiations.
Although he stated the league’s goal was to keep the franchise in New Orleans and not dissolve it. He did confirm that there are several offers to purchase the Hornets and move them to another city.
Stern also states the league isn’t as involved in the day to day operations as one might think.
I’d assume that the likely scenario in all this if for the NBA to allow the franchise to be moved elsewhere. Clearly New Orleans can’t support it and ultimately it what’s the bigger loss? To the city whose barely supporting a team or the NBA to lose it as a whole?
Stern also touched on a few other issues that are sure to come up during talks this weekend:
