“Decaying arena”, eh?

Bill Oram says:

"But he (Silver) is also not omnipotent. He works for the NBA’s 30 owners, and the 29 not named Dundon won’t want to subsidize a middling team in a decaying arena and a flagging market forever."

Flagging market? Has Bill Oram seen what's going on in New Orleans?

As specified by Kris Murray and Blake Wesley, the two worst places to play (atmosphere-wise) are New Orleans and Washington D.C.

Aren't all arenas "decaying?" There are many that were built in the 90s.
