The markets they are considering adding are as follows:

Seattle
Louisville
Mexico City
Las Vegas
Vancouver

With the CBA done, they are hoping to add two teams by the 2019-2020 season and to move Memphis to the Eastern Conference.

I've said it multiple times...Mexico City must be tapped....30 million people in your metro will have no problem filling an arena. All the other cities are cool.

Might as well dead that mexico city shyt now.

Players with families are not going to want to move there

Just gone require more security, which with the exchange rate, you can hire a mini army, if you making $5 to $15 million. Valid point though, but MXC sounds dope...and it's time.

If Vegas gets picked that will be 3 new sports franchise's in a span of a few years for Las Vegas...That's some crazy shyt...Now that gambling is everywhere it seems like the league's are not blackballing Vegas anymore
NFL, NBA, and NHL.. can't see them supporting all three. It sounds sexy putting a team in Vegas but the local income isn't there to support all three. The NFL is a no brainer and easy to do with only 8-9 home games. Between hoops and hockey I see hockey being assed out after a few years in existence in Vegas

Vegas and Seattle are the only ones that would work out. But it shouldn't be an expansion, just move a team. I'd move the Kings to Vegas. I dunno how Seattle would get a team without expansion cuz that fracking money got the thunders in OKC for the foreseeable future.

Forgot about that, smh they fukked up. Las Vegas Kings got a nice ring to it. :ehh:

Nah nikka :mjlol: There's always one in these threads .

I say Louisville if they can loosen Pitino's stranglehold in that market. He wasn't there, they would've had a team already. Yum! Center was built originally for a NBA team, NOT just for Louisville basketball.

Seattle needs their city to approve an Arena first.

Mexico City has the same chance as the NFL giving London a team.

Vegas? :gucci:

Vancouver can happen.

Honestly though, this is not a good idea.

I'm really interested to see how hockey will work here in the desert myself...There is a solid base of hockey fans here believe it or not...They supported the minor league hockey teams for years here...and the season tickets sold out in a few days..I've never gotten into it tho.

You might be right about the incomes ...Vegas is a service based economy.... so it will be interesting in that aspect...I think there is enough disposable income to support 2 franchises 3 might be pushing it but we'll see...It's a really exciting time for Vegas right now considering there was little hope of ever having any pro sports here
