David Stern said yesterday that he isn't afraid of moving the Hornets out of Charlotte, and Hornets Co-Owner Ray Wooldridge said that January 1 is the date for Loisville to complete a relocation deal, should they tender a bid.  The Hornets officially have until March 1 to apply for relocation, but are they already gone?  While we are RealGM do not want to see any fans lose their team, all signs seem to be pointing this way.

"Since the loss of the referendum (in June), I'm at a loss for what to do (in Charlotte). We went ahead and talked about other markets' potential and we hope to have everything done by the end of the year as far as what we would do."
