Hornets management are already pushing people to buy season tickets for next year. I think this might be a good indication that the Hornets will be here for awhile.

I have full season tickets and I am anxiously awaiting a request to buy for next year. I have heard no announcement yet -- have you?

Didn't Stern and Shinn say at the beginning they wanted to have a decision for next year in place by the end of January?

I would say that your info coincides with that timeframe.
