The one exception for the NBA is the Pelicans. They're a small market, not the main draw in that market, as well as poorly run with a strange ownership situation with the Benson family feuding. I don't think the Pelicans are long for New Orleans unless they become a contender in the next couple of seasons, which is highly doubtful in its own right given the state of the Western Conference and their own assets cupboard.
