in 2011, the ownership group of the canucks, now owned by francesco aquilini, announced they were considering purchasing the hornets. in december 2010, the hornets were bought by the league, and there was potential for relocation due to the club's financial difficulties. however, a hornets move was effectively taken off the table in 2012 when tom benson, a new orleans native who already owned the nfl's new orleans saints, purchased the team. one year later, aquilini denied rumours that he wanted to purchase the sacramento kings from the maloof family. aquilini expressed that while rogers arena is ready for basketball, having the nba in vancouver comes down to market support, which his company assesses to see if it has improved since the grizzlies left.
