The most recent article I could find. But i completely forgot about Austin. But yeah Omaha would be like OKC life. Obviously not a first or even 3rd choice.

If we're picking a Midwest city, I think it would be Kansas City. I haven't seen them pop up lately, but they have the Sprint Center which is still relatively new.

The only thing with Austin though is that it is close to San Antonio, like not even an hour. And I know that LA has two teams and all, but the market for two teams that close just isnt there in the "Hill Country"
 
i mentioned this awhile back, but if nba commissioner adam silver was serious, he'd build a script club in the bubble. they got barbers and stylist, might as well expand it to exotic dancers

it will be hard to turn down that new Austin $.

If the league were adding 2 teams it would have to Austin, Vegas/Seattle.

Kansas City/St Louis make the most sense to me in the midwest...

Austin - I don't see it... Too close to SA, Dallas and Houston.

Seattle and Vegas are almost too obvious.
 
St. Louis? Fairly large city, successful sports history
In the summer of 1976, with the ABA at the point of financial collapse, the six surviving franchises (the Virginia Squires went bankrupt immediately after the final season) began negotiating a merger with the NBA. But the senior circuit decided to accept only four teams from the rival league: the Nets (the last ABA champion), Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers and San Antonio Spurs.

The NBA placated John Y. Brown, owner of the Kentucky Colonels, by giving him a $3.3 million settlement in exchange for shutting his team down. (Brown later used much of that money to buy the Buffalo Braves of the NBA.) But the owners of the Spirits, the brothers Ozzie and Daniel Silna, struck a prescient deal to acquire future television money from the teams that joined the NBA, a 1/7 share from each franchise (or nearly 2% of the entire NBA's TV money), in perpetuity. With network TV deals becoming more and more lucrative, the deal has made the Silnas wealthy, earning them $186 million as of 2008, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and $255 million as of 2012 according to The New York Times.[1] (The NBA nearly succeeded in buying out the Silnas in 1982 by offering $5 million over eight years, but negotiations stalled when the siblings demanded $8 million over five.) On June 27, 2007, it was extended for another 8 years, ensuring another $100 million+ windfall for the Silnas. In 2014, the Silnas reached agreement with the NBA to greatly reduce the perpetual payments and take a lump sum of $500 million. In the last few years before the lump sum agreement, the Silnas were receiving $14.57 million a year, despite being owners of a team that hadn't played one minute of basketball in more than 35 years. The Silnas will, however, still be receiving a now much smaller portion of the television revenue through a new partnership with the former ABA teams the Nets, Nuggets, Pacers and Spurs.
 
If you add two expansion teams, do you realign as two conferences with 4 divisions of 4 teams or 2 divisions of 8 teams. IMO less divisions makes it easier to manage.
 
no one would really swear Lou for going off campus to zaxby's. it would probably be more of "he shouldn't have left campus, dumb mistake" thing. The fact that magic city is a strip club is why people are making a big deal about it. should be a nonstory.



1 and 7. tf-1000 brand new is impossible because it gets too slick. a decently worn tf-1000 is better than any other basketball. evos are good too but can feel sticky.

Just get rid of the divisions together, only a few lowly teams like the Clippers and Kings even care about division championships.

Nah the league was pretty clear about the protocols. 4 day quarantine for excused absences (ala Zion) and 10 days for unexcused absences which is what Lou got penalized for. It was irresponsible and who knows if that video never came out if he would have even told them he went.
