If Alonzo Mourning or Larry Johnson had their jersey retired for their contributions with the Charlotte Hornets - would it go in the Hornets or Pelicans arena?

With their incarnation of the Charlotte Hornets moving to New Orleans to become the New Orleans Hornets to then change to the New Orleans Pelicans...wouldn't their jerseys technically be a part of that franchise?

The New Orleans franchise returned all of the pre-NOLA history to the Charlotte franchise. So it would go to Charlotte.

Charlotte. Everything that happened in Charlotte stays in Charlotte. Except the ASG. We took that.

Charlotte got all the old Hornets records back after New Orleans changed their name to the Pelicans. The Pelicans only have the records from 2002 onward. Source

Wow - with a source. Thanks. It was a fun hypothetical that now has a proven answer. Thanks, man.

Do the Pelicans still hang Pete Maravich's jersey?

I think so. They hung his jersey up when they were the Hornets. I don't see why they wouldn't continue to do it.
