why wouldn’t the just bought GS Warriors do this, GS is a wasteland, their town barely cares, their stadium has been redone like half a million times, it’s just a waste, the las vegas pit boss’s or the las vegas dealers or the las vegas showmen with the cheer squad being the showgirls would be a much more attractive franchise than the GS warriors

I think it’s the Clippers. Donald Sterline will hopefully sell.

Milwaukee Bucks.
They haven’t made any traction in getting a replacement for the Bradley Center. Kohl looked to sell the team in 2003. The guy, regardless of his love for the City, can’t lose millions indefinitely.

It’s not out of possibility it’s the PHX Suns as the mystery team., The league has to make no alignment cahnge if they move there. The team has not made money on basketball operations until this year due to all the playoff money and is leveraged a ton. The owners major bank business has lost money. For the right price such as 450 M, like Cohan got for GS he might sell. He paid 401 M for it in 2004. Just a possibility.

I’m not even a Pistons fan, and I’d be pissed if they moved to Vegas. Same goes for the Pacers and the Kings. All three of these teams have great fan bases which have been more than willing to show their support when the franchies in question are committed to putting a winning product on the floor. Hell, I’d even be upset if the Hornets and/or the T’wolves moved; the former had some great crowds a couple of years ago when CP3 and company took the Spurs to seven games in the Semis.
The only cities which don’t seem to work are Memphis and Charlotte. One franchise should move to Seattle and pick up the Sonics’ moniker, while the other should move to one of these towns: Vegas, Vancouver, Baltimore, Kansas City, St. Louis, or Buffalo.
And while we’re at it, can we have Utah and New Orleans trade nicknames? Hell, Utah could even return to its ABA roots and rename itself as the Stars. Also, the Jazz should be the only irregular plural team-name in the NBA; the Heat, Magic, and the Thunder should be forced to change their monikers to something less lame.

Made me feel a little better is a Piston fan hopefully Karen does the right thing and keep the Stones here talking about bad karma. We’re one of the most loyal fanbases in America we stuck through the pityful 90s and last year horrible season if anyone should be last in line to leave it should be us. Plus I swore the NBA promised Seattle they were first in line. Just another example of why Roger Goddell is King and David Stern is garbage always making promises only for them to fail.
