i feel the same way about the bulls. let's be real, the day this move ever happens, the overwhelming consensus would be cavs/grizz ECF. no bulls fan would want this move to happen.
I'd rather see what ever incarnation of the Griz in 3-5 years than what the Bucks may become

And I understand/respect your feelings on the Bulls. They don't deserve respect after last year

Seattle gets a team before Vegas. I think the Vegas folks are out of their minds. Its a largely tourist economy so how are they gonna build a fan base out of the local degenerates?

meh transplants from around the country and canada pay hundreds while there down there for shows. I think it will work, especially the gambling aspect. Go lay 100 on your team then go watch them play live and :lupe: all game.

This is bullshyt.

I'm sick of these teams forcing the public to finance their stadiums/arenas.
The public gets fukked and the owners reap all the profits.

All you have to do is look at what happened with the Marlins in Florida to see what a HORRIBLE deal these things are.

Unless they also had AAA pregame, halftime, and post game shows, which is quite possible...who cares?

breh look at the red wings in detroit, some folks in the core dont even have street lights and drinkable water, but their paying for a new gawt damn unneeded arena

that ish would never fly in toronto, council would lose all their seats . Air canada centre was built with private money

in the very short term (and if the team is good) that might work. if the team isnt great? good luck getting locals to battle strip traffic to pay out the ass to watch some trash hoops game of a relocated franchise. crowd will be mostly tourists going to games because they bought a cheap package or got a comp through a casino. id go see maybe 4-5 games a year, id rather watch the marquee games of the day on tv. i think a nhl or nba sputters out here, theres just not the demand for it. i could be wrong though. the crowds at the games will be dead as fukk also, because it will be mostly people apathetic to the local team, and either rooting for neither squad or the team they are playing

The way Seattle lost their team sucked, but it doesn't solve anything by taking another fanbase's team. It just makes one fanbase happy and another one distraught.

And it's not like Seattle was some ultimate loyal fanbase

2007-08: 28th in attendance (Durant on the roster)
2006-07: 25th in attendance (Ray Allen & Rashard Lewis on the roster)
2005-06: 23rd in attendance (See above)
2004-05: 21st in attendance (Mind you they were a playoff team this year)
2003-04: 23rd in attendance
2002-03: 20th in attendance
2001-02: 21st in attendance

Like I said, it sucked the way they lost their team, but they aren't entitled to take any other city's team from them
I didn't shed one tear when the Sonics moved. That arena was empty for years
