The Boston Globe has learned that the New Orleans Hornets are expected to announce today that if they don't average close to 15,000 fans in home games starting with tonight's contest against the Los Angeles Lakers through all home games until February of 2009, the franchise will be allowed out of their lease with the New Orleans Arena by the State of Louisiana, according to an NBA source. Not reaching the needed average would allow the Hornets to move if they choose. Although tonight's Lakers game is sold out, the Hornets have averaged an NBA-worst 11,871 fans this season in New Orleans through 15 games. Potential suitors could include Oklahoma City, Kansas City and Las Vegas.
