Alright kb, take some of this valium...you'll feel much better.

Charlotte was the victim of building a new arena without the features that are making big money now (luxury boxes).

The NBA is unique in that it is the only real game in town in several cities (Portland, SA, Memphis, Orlando). Certainly each of the 27 or so cities has enough nightlife to keep people occupied. Besides, shouldn't they be more worried about playing b-ball?

From what I read during the move to Nola, a lot of the players really liked playing in Charlotte...they seemed to have a good fan base until Shinn and Jordan hit that impasse.
