How about no? Last thing we need is another team from Columbus blowing it in big games. People didnt start supporting the Cavs hardcore till LeBron gotthere, so 30 years of another sub-par Ohio team to get a savior would be a waste.

 

[keel252]

I always wonder why the 7cities in VA dont have a team.

 

[cashbox sunrise]

Dallas doesn't need a baseball team, they already have the Rangers.

i was just thinking the other day that St. Louis should have an NBA franchise.

 

[hotspitta26]

the piedmont triad (winston salem, greensboro, and high point area)

we almost got the expos (before washington did) but the vote didnt go through

 

[imaniketalker]

San Diego Nashville St. Louis Austin Las Vegas ...all need NBA squads.

 

[g00nie goo goo]

I think the Clippers should go back to San Diego.

Would you SD people support them though?

Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that LA has two NBA teams. But it just doesn't seem right. Los Angeles will always be a Laker town. I think ifSterling wants to make his team more profitable and have a more solid fanbase, he needs to move the franchise to another market. I know they were and still isthinking about moving to the Honda Center in Anaheim, which would be pretty cool and will add on to the LA-OC rivalry. San Diego would be perfect as well, sothat the NBA will have teams in every major California metropolis (SF, LA, and SD).

Just tear down Seaport Village and build the new arena there

Hell no.

Laker fan 4 life.

I'd buy tickets just to watch other teams/players play.
But yeah, Seaport Village > The Clippers. The little city commodity probably generatesmore money for the city than the Clippers would.

St. Louis and cincinnati should have nba teams

New England Patriots
Buckeyes got beat by better teams, your team however???


But back to my point...we can easily fill a 100,000 seat stadium for football, have a great core of suburbs, people withmoney, and a general excitement for the game of basketball that would rather drop it on 41 home games with the chance to see, Kobe, CP3, LeBron, etc. thandropping money on a hockey team and watching players that 3/4 of sports fans have no idea who they are watching.

 

[sensaciondelbloque]

portland baseball
pittsburgh basketball
cincy basketball
kansas city basketball
st louis basketball
indianapolis baseball
louisville baseball

 

[airjordan jb23]

Newark,nj
NJ Devils...

 

[rhcp729]

basketball would never thrive in saint louis. sure there is a market for it, somewhat. but in the grand scheme of things if an nba franchise were to come here,we would have attendance numbers similar to those of atlanta, prior to the playoffs this year. i work at sporting news radio here in the city and i always talkabout how great i personally think it would be for us to have a franchise, but it'll never happen. i wish we could've just kept the hawks from movingto atlanta years and years ago.

 

[usabasketball08]

Dallas kinda already has a baseball team(Texas Rangers,stadium is in Arlington,no longer than a 25 min drive from some of Dallas)

 

[dr fonclbrics]

Definitely need football in L.A.

 

[gordon gartrelle]

Probably Tulsa or Kansas CIty, KS in general.

Word? I bet you weren't saying that they were better during the regular season.

Patriots defense choked away a lead at the end of a game.

Pro Teams in areas where there are good college towns/sports is pointless in my opinion.

In the end, your not getting a team, so keep going out and filling up that 100,000 seat stadium.

 

[cj003]

stl needs a hoop team imo

Couldn't agree more. Bring the Jackets to Winnipeg where they will draw more than 32 fans a game.

 

[kal ripped ken]

they should move the jazz back to New Orleans
the hornets to some other big city like Cincinnati or St. Louis
the clippers back to San Diego
and the grizzlies to nashville

Optimistic against Florida, not so much against LSU...I know our track record against the SEC and am not blinded byloyalty like some fans tend to be.
