Get your own team and try to hold on to it this time.

That could work.

Not happening they do fine in Portland. But supposedly Seattle and Las Vegas will get expansion teams soon

They should do Vancouver and Mexico City as well.

They should do Vancouver and Mexico City as well.

Vancouver didn’t work the first time they tried and Mexico City is way too far for travel for most teams not to mention it’s 2000 feet higher elevation than mile high Denver

Also, 32 teams works, 34 is too many

Nah I know. They're staying in Portland.

Seattle and Vegas getting teams would be huge though. Wish they'd hurry up and get this done already.

Minnesota or Memphis can move East!

They've tried Seattle before as well. Vancouver was just to early.
Mexico City is as close or closer than West coast to eastern teams. And modern transportation is way easier than even shorter distances not that long ago.
And with more teams they can go all soccer, make a second tier with relegation for bottom teams.

Or NOLA.

They've been talking about this so long I can't believe it isn't done.

I know the NBA was waiting to get this new TV deal done before thinking expansion.

That was last July though.

Gotta be Memphis that moves, it's farther east and closer to more teams in the East

Don't hold your breath lol

 

[logic]

Can we get a pool together here and buy them? Then we could have serious things to argue about.

No, I can't see any American sports league agreeing to relegation.

 

[msgkings322]

Done this before, if they go to 8 team divisions it would probably look something like this:

Pacific: LAC, LAL, GS, SAC, PHO, LV, SEA, POR

West: UTA, MIN, DEN, OKC, HOU, DAL, SA, NO

East: BOS, NYK, BRK, PHI, WAS, CHA, MIA, ORL

Mid 'west': DET, CHI, MIL, CLE, MEM, TOR, IND, ATL

Seattle lost the Sonics because of financial disagreements and the fact Key Arena was slowly becoming unsuitable.

Since then they've built Climate Pledge which is one of the more modern arenas in the world.

Seattle deserves a team and the fans want it more than ever.

About as good as the Knicks are doing against the Celtics!

Genuinely sorry about Tatum though. I hope he pulls through ok.
