Not sure how much stock I put in this. It's well known Gale Benson LOVES the Pelicans. I think this is a rumor that will always dog the Pets because of how much the Saints rule this town.

Just heard Cowherd talking about the Pels ...

Apparently Benson purchased the team for 318m & can probably sell for 1B.

Not wishing the team to be sold but something to think about.

Agreed.

Crazy $ appreciation. If they can find a sucker who'll pay that, why not sell. If an audit were performed, I'll bet the revenues don't support these stratospheric valuations. IMHO, they are probably worth what Benson paid for them, $300 million; and they weren't worth even that when they bought them.

You get the franchise and you move them out of a ****-hole city (Thanks, Mitch, LaToya & Co) and the value will increase...

Seattle? Tampa? Las Vegas?

Seattle and Las Vegas team would definitely get support; Tampa is currently hosting a team...

Maybe Vegas and Tampon... Seattle lost a team.

We might still keep them. It's been a tough couple of years in NOLA with Covid. If OK City can do it, why not NOLA?

The Jazz had great support when they played in New Orleans. Of course the Saints sucked then, so that probably helped.
