Could an NBA contraction leave Charlotte without a team?

A source close to the negotiations told CBS Sports that the league “will continue to be open to contraction,” which would eliminate teams in some of the less profitable markets.

Commissioner David Stern wants to cut between $750 million and $800 million in player salaries, and one way to do so would be to eliminate the most unprofitable teams.

The worst teams in the NBA the past two seasons, based on gate receipts, were the Memphis Grizzlies, Minnesota Timberwolves, Milwaukee Bucks, Indiana Pacers, Atlanta Hawks and Charlotte Bobcats. Those teams would be the most likely candidates for contraction.

The league lost $380 million last season and is projecting a loss of around $350 million in the upcoming season, even with the increase in season-ticket sales during the summer.

Mike greenburg from Mike and Mike said it should be Memphis and Toronto. Thought he would mention charlotte but didn't .. BTW we had a pretty big jump in new season ticket sales this off season. I think our best days are ahead barring a FO meltdown ( which they are capable of)

Yeah, I don't think it would be us. I don't see them doing this to any teams, honestly.

But in our case, we're really young compared to those teams. It takes years to get a fan base, so we need more time, and they know this. Plus, this city has shown it can support a team, the Hornets sold out every game for like years, let the league in attendance I believe, so there's the evidence.

      I read it all and will again cause my skills lack there big time. Big fan of yours and my guy Kung Fu, enjoy many of the huddlers, agree or disagree on many topics and beliefs. I have defended tepper PLENTY when the current "thing" was to blindly hate on him, plenty of proof me doing this (AND plenty of proof blasting him too.) -   I've been in stressful jobs and being the GM of NFL team would cause heaps more, but at least I wouldn't be shot at.... That job is super long hours and non-stop problem solving during the season. I do have good traits and even a "superpower" or two that would aid in doing that job. I'd need more more information before I could decide, for sure I would hire a team of talent evaluators to make make the job 10x easily. Like Scot McCloughan to help guide the process, among others with teppers money..... I mean Marty "gave me" herniay went from typing articles to on Panthers staff two(?) years to GM. Matt Millen is another story form the booth to top president and GM. Jeff Saturday became a HC without any exp. Would I want the huddle hive to be GMing or myself with hired army/roninor rando fans form section 317?? no sir!!! But the key is the bar is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo low that those options would have yielded better results in building a winning team over the rhule/herniay/fittterererere/(not ready to put Morgan here) era. Thats very sad and hurt my fandom soul during the last 6 years..
