Would you really win many fans over with such large established organizations already so close? Especially when you could stay within the state easily (Shreveport and Baton Rouge look to be the bigger markets - smaller than CC, though I assume they would be able to pull in the state support?) or go East and take advantage of a market with no major NBA team as the obvious local choice (Mobile - I assume people there randomly pick a team with a local player, or don't care for the NBA that much?). Again, an outsider looking in.
