NBA considering moving the New Orleans Hornets to Kansas City? Not without an owner

The NBA announced Monday that the pro basketball league bought the New Orleans Hornets, which must be making a lot of folks in the Big Easy nervous. Even after a hot start (11-1 before rounding out to 13-7) and arguably the best point guard in the league, Chris Paul, the franchise isn’t meeting attendance goals. If attendance dips, the franchise can break its lease and bolt.

So we get a bunch of TV news reports claiming the the Hornets could be calling Kansas City home (I saw one this morning on KMBC). What those stories neglect to say is Kansas City doesn’t have a rich guy or gal willing to buy the franchise. Until that person or ownership group comes forward, it’s all talk.
