Scott further explains his words from Wednesday
Hornets coach Byron Scott, enraptured by fan support in Oklahoma City and wary of what awaits him in New Orleans, elaborated on why he said Wednesday night that he wants the Hornets to play in Oklahoma City next season.
"I think we have an obligation to be back to New Orleans when economically they can support a team," Scott said Thursday. "And the reason I said I feel comfortable here (in Oklahoma City) and would like to play here next year, is because I don't see that happening next year. I really don't think they'll have the residency, the economics to support a second franchise. I think our attendance would probably be worse because I don't think you have enough people."
