NBA Possibly Relocating Memphis & New Orleans

[Don Juan]

I guess that would explain the recent expansion NHL Utah Mammouth Jazz then

Try to speak English please.

Seattle needs a nba team. But put em in Tacoma

 

[MikelArteta]

Seattle won the rights to the Sonics history, name, and logos when the city sued Clay Bennett. The Thunder will give the history and name back to Seattle when they get an expansion team.

Just like how Charlotte got the hornets back

Relocate Toronto. Bums fukked my parlay

The pelicans for sure are a complete failure as a franchise.

The market isn’t good and it’s a really bad place for young Black men.

NBA gotta cut their losses and get the fukk outta there, ASAP

I’d move Memphis too, but N.O is in a category by itself as a terrible NBA market. No disrespect to my bout it, bout it bruhs

do yall think a pro basketballl team could do well in kentucky/cincinnatti area?

Louisville, yes, would likely be a resounding success.

Cincinnati, no, would oversaturate the market. Cincinnati already hosts the MLB, MLS, and NFL. The smallest 4-league city is Seattle and its twice the size of Cincinnati. Adding the NBA to Cincy has the same oversaturation risk that adding NBA to Vegas or Nashville has. These are "big cities" in a general sense, but not in a specific sense where size matters---->like the ability to successfully host 4 major sports leagues.

Keep the Grizzlies in Memphis. Relocate the Pelicans to the best candidate city between, in my opinion, Seattle or Louisville.

And relocate the Hornets to Raleigh

 

[Blackrogue]

Can they relocated the Wizards tho... sick of them.

Mind your business

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

Dude...my grandfather owns Seattle.

We’ve got another @Jcotton1

 

[Patrick Kane]

Grizzlies back to Vancouver and Pelicans to Seattle. NBA would make a killing in those two cities

 

[Don Juan]

We’ve got another @Jcotton1

My grandfather will put you on the no fly list on his Boeing portfolio and drink your tears for the rest of his life!

 

[King Poetic]

Pelicans goes to Seattle and becomes the Supersonics again

Memphis can go back to Vancouver but they will need to do a lot of work with trying to get the franchise to work..

If not I think the NBA would go with Vegas

 

[Spade]

The mavericks are moving to Vegas

the Mavs are not moving to Vegas.

Louisville has an NBA ready arena in the Yum center but the problem is Louisville doesn’t have the disposable income/industry/ population to carry a NBA team. there’s no real industry there for young professionals (a significant number of the college grads leave the state upon graduation) and the blue-collar population there only cares about college basketball.

Cincinnati would probably fare better as they’ve already proven they can support two pro teams. However the two pro teams they support are also notoriously cheap and they probably have to be given that Cincinnati does not have booming industry either. Building a state of the art arena there would probably be an issue due to the meager tax base.
