What team should be relocated and where?

[Scout200]

I think moving the Kings to San Jose...
The reasoning behind it is that Sacramento doesn't have an arena nor do they have plans for one... San Jose has an existing NBA quality arena currently used by the sharks in a major market. In this economy especially in California existing arena will be the key to relocation

Move the Clippers to Anaheim
Southern California would be great place for NBA rivalry and separate arena would allow Clips to establish its own fan base and not be as much of a little brother. Again, arena is already in place.

Move the Hornets to Seattle or Kansas City
Seattle is a good sports market and if they can get an arena. It would be good for the NBA to have team to Seattle. Kansas City, who has arena ready, would be back up if Seattle really doesn't want back in then NBA.

:support:

I can't understand why Kansas City doesn't have an NBA team The game was invented 30 minutes away at Kansas University. The KU Jayhawks are ranked 4th and the K-State Wildcats (an hour and a half away) are ranked 5th nationally. This area loves basketball. The market is large enough to support a team and the Sprint center was built specifically to attract an NBA or NHL affiliate. Check out this map.

Look at that big emtpy spot in the middle of the country. The closest NBA team to KC is the Thunder 350 miles away. The Bulls are 500+ miles away and the Nuggets are 600 miles away. A team in KC would attract fans from Missouri (including St. Louis area), Kansas, Nebraska (Lincoln, Omaha) and Iowa. I don't care what team - Clippers, Raptors, whatever. We'll take 'em and make em better.

It's a no brainer.

grizz,hornets,or raptors should move to KC/St. Louis

Golden State Warriors. There is no need for three teams in California, they would have many more fans in another location.

I'd move them to somewhere like St. Louis, I think they'd love a basketball team there.

I would completely agree with that actually..

Would also make a potential rivalry with the bulls.

 

[CODE_BLUE56]

^agreed, although i'd still keep the kings and clippers in california

 

[Bullsman24]

i think the warriors should stay right where they are. they at least seem to have a great fan base. they have a rowdy arena no matter who comes to town.

if you're gonna move the clips or any other cali team, move them out of cali. there's no point of moving them if they're basically in the same area. spread the league around.

the kings had great fans early in the decade, they haven't ever since they fell apart, it seems sad to move them but they are near the bottom in attendance.

 

[Bullsman24]

don't forget about vegas guys! they're screaming for an nba team! st louis is also a good idea and seattle needs a team back. i would even turn them back into the supersonics no matter who moves. that was a great franchise.

here's the deal with louisville, everyone thought that because memphis supported calipari, they could support a sports team. but unfortunately, the great college team actually takes away support from the nba team (grizzlies in this case) unless they're VERY good, which they haven't been.

 

[Chi-Town Brahma]

No matter what......just do away with the Cavs, Clippers & T-Wolves. lol

Relocate at least 2 of the 3. (St. Louis & Seattle?)

I know this threads old...

but I never posted in it.

The Clippers need to leave LA... Maybe they should ho to Seattle.

The Hornets could also move to SEA or STL.

 

[scottiepippen1994]

New orleans needs the hornets....I like the idea of the clippers going to seattle.
Oklahoma city thunder should move to St.Louis, nobody goes to Oklahoma City for a vacation..That town makes Cleveland look interesting.

Detroit at least has Kid Rock, Insane Clown Posse, Esham, Eminem, Ben Gordon, American Pawn and Loan, and Lions, tigers, and bears OH MY!!!!

Sacramento kings to Las Vegas :shrug:

Sacramento kings to Las Vegas :shrug:

They wanna go to Anaheim. That means 3 NBA teams, a D-League team, and a WNBA team in one city. So basically they would still only have 1 team that anybody cares about.

 

[GaelicSoxFan]

Any team to Mexico City
