Why does New Orleans even have a team? It clearly isn't a basketball city. They're in the west already. Relocate them to Seattle already and be done with it
NBA might expand after new cba
- Thread starter Frump
- Start date
Other than the kings and the bucks these teams have been playoff teams
Kings have a top 3 center in the league and the Bucks might be 2 years away from running the east.
Literally the only team that is flat out terrible with no kind of future ahead of them is Brooklyn, expansion wouldnt be the end of the world

All them teams needs to go and majority of the teams claim they are losing money, which is why players have to take caps and hurt their own money, that being the case no way can the teams accept an increase of teams in such a financial environment

My city bout to come up on an NBA squad after getting shafted by the corrupt NFL. 
Nah, I ain't trying to be that optimistic. I think a good team would do well here, though. They seem hell bent on getting this MLS team right now though.

Still amazes how va has no pro teams in any sport
Vegas doesn't have the population to support the NFL, NHL, and a NBA team. Its about metro population and what's the average income(plus disposable income) a family or person has as to determine how many pro sports teams can survive in a city.
Yeah, they don't have an NBA team so of course they don't give a fukk at all. If they had a pro team they'd probably give a fukk about the NBA.It isn't at all
NBA coverage gets like 1/4th of a page in the local newspapers if that
When the cavs won the whole city reacted with a big "whatever, it's the NBA championship and it's irrelevant, Cleveland can have this one" .. while celebrating their precious Stanley Cup win thinking it put them on top of the sports world
But Pitt basketball sells out soslap some black n yellow on a team and they'll all come around
THIS IS FAR FROM THE TRUTH .. THE POPULATION IN VEGAS IS THE SAME AS THE POPULATION IN OKC, AND THEY GOT ONE OF THE BEST FANBASES IN THE NBA ..
NOT TO MENTION, ALL THE TOURISTS FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE WHO VISIT VEGAS .. A TEAM IN VEGAS WOULD BE A CASH COW, PERIOD.
LOL 82 GAMES A SEASON, THE TRAVEL WOULD LITERALLY RUIN THE SPORT
ONLY OPTION WOULD BE FOR NBA TO START THEIR OWN SEPERATE EUROLEAGUE, MAYBE PLAY EXHIBITIONS AGAINST NBA TEAMS IN THE PRESEASON AND SWITCH THE ALLSTAR GAME TO NBA EURO VS NBA AMERICA .. BUT THATS ABOUT AS CLOSE AS EXPANDING TO EUROPE THE NBA CAN GET WITH IT MAKING SENSE.
A 8-10 team league in Europe that operated as it's own entity is about as close as we will get, and Silver has already openly talked about doing that.
The Sixers have Embiid, Saric, Luwawu, Simmons, Noel and Okafor, they have talent
Ton of garbage teams, yet you named 1, and that 1 team has actual talent. You talking out the side of your mouth bruh, Jimmy Butler 30th pick, Draymond Green 35th pick, Kyle Lowry 24th pick, DeAndre Jordan 35th pick....these were Team USA GOLD medalists.
YOU may not know about players from the second half of the first round, but I could rattle off names left and right if you wanna go there breh.
nerlens noel was the 6th overall pick. Embiid was the 3rd overall pick, not the 30th pick. So i dont see your point. You wont find them late
yea you named some good players. But its very rare to find players like green when youre picking that late. Otherwise teams would just trade down all the time if they could get someone like green or butler. 2013 draft was just awful
There just isnt enough talent to sustain 30 teams. 5 teams from the west have made it to the finals since 1999. Youre telling me teams couldnt draft or develop players all those years? product is bad now, but itll be even worse with expansion so fukk that

The NBA has never been about parity, and even though there's a lot of players that have never been to the finals, they're still star players and they are entertaining and worth watching. Finals aren't everything the NBA has to offer
