I feel like Shreveport needs some serius consideration for an nba team. They have consistently shown up and shown out for major events in the city. I can just imagine an arena right on the water next to tue beautiful golden horeshoe casino. Would bring in some major money to the city too!

No cap, but I feel like the NBA is more likely to bend the knee to Vegas.

Seattle Sonics are going to be the next expansion team


I feel like San Diego, Tampa, and Pittsburgh would all get some pretty big pushback from existing franchise owners, i mean governors, that already have existing teams about 100 miles away. If Seattle gets a team, that probably rules out Vancouver for the same reason.

Add Seattle and Vegas, then move either the Pelicans or Grizzlies to the eastern conference. Done.

Seattle is a total shitehole

Vegas will be the winner. And fricking LeBron will probably be an owner

Seattle should be the first choice then Vegas but the opposite will most likely happen imo.

If it were those two I’d guess one or New Orleans would move to the East

I'd love to see top prospects react to potentially being drafted by a Mexico City franchise given their aversion to places like Toronto, Vancouver and SLC.

Seems like it’s got to be one of Minnesota, Memphis, or New Orleans for sure.

Wonder if they change the divisions to be 8x4 instead of 6x5.

KC has a nice arena for the NBA/NHL.

Louisville would be the only game in town.

I'm still mixed on pro sports in vegas

Seattle deserves a team back
Kansas City is an underrated pro sports town
Nashville would be my other one
