NBA Possibly Relocating Memphis & New Orleans

[Stick Up Kid]

I been saying the NBA in New Orleans and Memphis is dead

 

[ALonelyDad]

NBA has given up on expansion for European league so only way for Sonics/Vegas to get a team would be with relocation. I don't think Memphis is that bad when it comes to ownership, etc. Pelicans on the other hand need to be sold, would be better if someone buys it and keeps it there but Gayle Benson is not it.

No need to relocate the Grizz and the pels to other cities. Memphis especially is a solid market, the people there love their team.

Give Seattle/vegas brand new expansion franchises from scratch and call it a day

 

[Piff Perkins]

A league that already has questionable respect for fans (not clamping down on load management abuses, inability for local fans to watch their teams on television without jumping through hoops/apps, etc) does NOT need to be in the business of yanking teams from cities.

The city doesn’t really give a shyt about the NBA. Putting a team there didn’t make much sense

They did clamp down on load management though
(70 game minimum for awards and bonuses, fines for teams)

MLB & NFL have all moved franchises in the last 15 years

Memphis is a dead city that's only getting worse.

Seattle just needs to get the Supersonics back. Fυck Adam Silver for not doing that already (and it seems like he doesn't want to at all).

Ah ok, now the Joe Dumars and Troy Weaver hirings make perfect sense.

Zion failing to become a legit superstar was probably the death blow to the NBA in the NO. I was damn near on the floor for $25 for a Sunday afternoon game last year…they don’t have a fanbase…Memphis on the other hand has one of the best crowds in the league when the team is good, would be a shame if the grizzlies left

 

[Doctor Doom]

New Orleans is a terrible basketball city



Don't move the Grizz

 

[jdubnyce]

But
Zion and Ja had next
It was supposed to the their league
We should be seeing them in their prime
Rivalry

 

[EzekelRAGE]

Wonder how this would go, isnt it rumored the Owner of the Mavs are purposefully taking the team's brand because they want to move to Vegas?

 

[Taadow]

If they move the Grizzlies…that’s the END OF THE JACKSON 5!!


Bring the Pels to KC, we’ll make them Champs in 5 seasons or less. Book it

New Orleans only got a team because of Katrina. The city doesn’t really give a shyt about the NBA. Putting a team there didmy make much sense

hornets were there 3.5 years before hurricane Katrina
