why woudn't you just move memphis east?

Yeah that's what i'm wondering? No need to move two teams,

And out of all places, why Charlotte or Orlando? They're pretty much the furthest East it can get!

Adam Silver talking expansion. If Seattle and Vegas get teams does that mean Minnesota finally becomes East as they should be?
No, probably Memphis which is farther East and closer to East teams. We did a long discussion about this, and if they realign to 8 divisions of 4 or 4 divisions of 8 and so on. Can't remember which thread the convo was in yesterday

So Ja going to get caught up in the east coast west coast thing?
That young man is at a crossroads for sure. I am rooting for him to get it together. I want to see where he can go as a player. I don’t want him to cheat us out of what could be a great talent.

They are very slightly further east, but west teams tend to be south. Minnesota travels the farthest every year. I know in this day and age travel means less than it used to.

Send them both East and relocate the Wiz to the West (Kansas?). Wiz have the worst attendance percentage and are also a poor road draw, franchise needs a change (and a nickname change, lol).

Chris Hayes jumped the gun?

Trades lol? Who's trading for the opportunity to pay CP3 $30M? They don't have any pieces to add to entice a cap space team.

They indeed may stretch his contract hit from waiving him. Can they really bring him back? They're waiving his $15M guaranteed salary, shouldn't that follow buyout rules, which wouldn't allow a return within one complete season?

Not if you move the franchise. Lowest home attendance percentage in the league. That way you can move both Memphis and Minnesota to the East when the two West expansion franchises come in.

Stop it.

Washington is a good basketball market.

They have low attendance because they are poorly managed and continually irrelevant.

They don’t need to move the franchise, they need to rebuild the right way and get good so the fair weather fans have a reason to show up.

Sure, and St Louis and Oakland are great football markets. If you're not selling your product and not competing, sell/move the franchise.

Sell is the answer.

Not move.

Same owner in a new city is a the same problem, but probably in a worse market.
