Think they can hold a team? Charlotte is not working out.

Totally. Seattle's fan base is huge. The only reason the Sonics got moved is they couldn't afford to renovate a 13 year old arena that was considered state of the art in 1996

The NBA isn't what it once was in Charlotte, but the Bobcats aren't going anywhere anytime soon. Their lease is pretty ironclad, and there are plenty of teams who pull worse attendance numbers:

Good point, I didn't know attendance was that high.

I have a Bobcats cap I bought in Charlotte, glad I could help 'em out.

I believe Seattle deserves either the Hornets, Bobcats or T-Wolves.
He's like the Liberace of bass & pot.

They're not getting another team until they build an arena. As I mentioned, the Bobcats aren't going anywhere, and the Hornets probably aren't either. Stern has had plenty of chances to sell them to ownership that will relocate them. For some reason the NBA is committed to keeping them in N.O. Probably because they don't want to admit that moving them there in the first place was a mistake.
