In 2014, after this team was rebranded as the Pelicans, the name and the statistical history of the original team was reclaimed by the present day Charlotte Hornets, who had begun play in 2004 as an expansion team known as the Charlotte Bobcats.Feldman Dan Charlotte Hornets assume historical records from New Pelicans http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/05/20/charlotte-hornets-assume-historical-records-from-new-pelicans/ NBC Universal season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The 2011 playoffs was the final time the New Orleans Hornets made the playoffs before changing the team's monicker to "Pelicans" in 2013. The Hornets fell to the back-to-back reigning champions the Los Angeles Lakers in six first-round games. The Lakers would go on to be swept by the eventual champions Dallas Mavericks in four Western Conference Semifinal games. After six years, this season marked the end of the Chris Paul era as he was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers during the lockout after the season. Believed by many as the greatest Hornet/Pelican of all time, Paul was originally going to be traded to the Lakers in a 3-team deal that would send Lamar Odom, Goran Dragic, Luis Scola, Kevin Martin, and a 2012 first round draft pick to the Hornets and Pau Gasol to the Houston Rockets, but NBA Commissioner David Stern had controversially vetoed the trade.Howard Beck https://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/09/sports/basketball/paul-set-to-join-lakers-as-part-of-3-team-deal.html N.B.A. Rejects Trade Sending Paul to Lakers The New York Times December 8, 2011 April 23, 2021 Key dates June 7 – The Hornets hired Portland Trail Blazers assistant coach Monty Williams to head coach.
