Needs a summary[edit]

For the uninitiated, this needs a summary in the lead. Have I got this right.

Current Pelicans franchise:
- 1988-89 to 2001-02: Charlotte Hornets
- 2002-03 to 2012-13: New Orleans Hornets (or New Orleans/Oklahoma Hornets)
- 2013-14 to present: New Orleans Pelicans
Current Hornets franchise:
- 2004-05 to 2013-14: Charlotte Bobcats
- 2014-15 to present: Charlotte Hornets

"To restate and clarify a confusing series of events: after the 2002 season, the original Hornets moved to New Orleans. In 2004, Charlotte was granted a new franchise, the Bobcats. After the 2013–14 season, the Bobcats changed their name to the Hornets and reclaimed the history and records of the 1988–2002 Hornets. As a result, the Hornets are now retconned as having suspended operations from 2002 to 2004, while the Pelicans are now retconned as having joined the league in 2002 as an expansion team."

A modified version of the above paragraph from the article probably belongs in the lead. Adpete (talk) 05:32, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
