Looks like the bobcats may soon become the hornets again. I like the move, the hornets name is much better than bobcats and has so much more history behind it.

So the Hornets moved and have become the Pelicans, now the Bobcats want to be the new Hornets...
Sounds like some people have lots of money to waste!
Maybe the Pelicans will change their name to Bobcats and we can complete this insane circle of nonsense??

Won't don't the pelicans fuck off and fold and Seattle get their license and I can cheer on my beloved Supersonics once again

I always found it weird that the Hornets name has a proud confederate history behind it ("that veritable hornets' nest...") yet the South was fighting with the fervour of "hornets" to keep black men as slaves.
Now the NBA is predominately comprised of young, black men...
