Move To New Orleans Approved The NBA Board of Governors has endorsed the recommendation of the NBA Relocation Committee and approved the move of the Hornets from Charlotte to New Orleans beginning with the 2002-03 NBA season. http://www.nba.com/hornets/news/New_Orleans_Approved.html
If Larry Bird and Co. gets expansion rights approved in Charlotte. What five players would you protect on the Rockets? EG, Steve, Cat, our no.1 pick, Moochie. Another expansion team would dilute the league even more. That's 15 more players in a league where most teams run an 8-9 player rotation.
