New Orleans is nearing the point NOW they could take the team back. They could easily take the team back by the mid point of the season. The slimeball owner is using this as a chance the move the team with a "try out" in OKC. If OKC fails, my money is on the team going to Kansas City in the new Sprint Arena. The team is not going back to New Orleans, and this year doesn't count on support in OKC, the tickets are going for fire sale prices. Next year will be the make or break for OKC.
It's very clear to see that these Tulsan's are very jealous that WE were able to be the temporary home for the Hornets. They can't stand to see something good come to OKC.

Sure, there may be a million people back to NO in a couple of weeks, but they will be back rebuilding and trying to get fresh water and electricity. The last thing on their mind will be the Hornets.
