Ask the Charlotte Hornets, New Orleans Hornets, Memphis Grizzlies, Orlando Magic, and Miami Heat how they do in terms of attendance.
On this we can agree. It did work well for the Jazz, though that is more of the exception when it comes to pro franchises moving.

But weren't the Charlotte Hornets an expansion team rather than a relocated team, as well as the Magic and Heat?
