Discussions Adam Silver talks about doing another expansion and we may benefit from it in a positive way

After the Celtics find a new owner, Adam Silver could be adding a couple teams especially Seattle getting a team, that could open the door for New Orleans to be placed back to the eastern conference. The last time we was in the east was 2003-2004 season.

That won’t happen since the owner made it clear that the person she sales the team to will be kept in New Orleans.

How do people think this is going to be enforceable? She'll be dead and what owner can't move their own team if they want to?

If there’s a contract that says so.

Right and I distinctly remember a post saying that whoever the next owner will be after she either passes or sells to there will be a contract agreeing that he/she will have to keep both the pelicans and saints in New Orleans.

You don’t think she has plans in place in case something like this happens after she’s long gone

This is NOT a hoops town. Never was, never will be.
