This might come out as a stupid question, but as I hail from England and have missed the past couple of season of NBA due to various reasons, and thus the answer for this isnt right under my nose, since I cant just follow the NBA by picking up a paper or watching the news (something that England has to sort out tbh). The whole Charlotte / New Orleans situation. It raises a few questions: Firstly, why did Hornets move to NO in the first place? Money support or whatever? Secondly, for what reason did the NBA see fit to have the 30th team and new expansion at Charlotte? This is just a curious question, but where did the fans go with their alliegence? Did the old fans go with the team to NO, surely that creates problems with "main supporter base?". If this is completely wrong/retarded, delete the thread and someone PM me to clear it up, if I aint asking the most stupid question ever and there is a proper answer can someone tell me, would be apprieciated muchly ! Ta muchly, Damo
