Fuck an expansion, just move the Thunder back to Seattle.
How legit is this video??
Which team gets moved to the Eastern Conference? Memphis or New Orleans?
Minnesota is the farthest from other western conference teams
Should be Minnesota. Those 2 are closer to Dallas, Houston and San Antonio than Minneapolis is to Portland and Utah
Vancouver is so ready for a team to come back to the city… the only problem is that the current arena (Rogers) is aging and we’d need a new arena to facilitate an NBA franchise… which is unlikely no matter how much I want it!
Yeah, but the current arena has a Costco right beside it! Where else could you pregame with a footlong hot dog, a massive poutine that feeds 3 people, and a 500 pack of condoms for $10?
I mean… you make a solid argument.
Better be and step on it.
Wonder who’ll be the face of the new franchises? At least the initial years Kyrie? Beal? Harden?
The NBA needs fewer teams, not more teams
weird take, the league is pretty stacked with talent rn
Rockets themselves going to have a bunch of fun talented young players coming off the bench. Spread the talent out. Too many fun players not getting enough PT.
Get Rhode Island involved, the stadium can be used for housing for half the state’s population
Too much needs to happen for Seattle. Until this is gone, NWIH
Climate Pledge Arena is ready, already renovated with private funding. I-91 isn’t stopping the NBA from coming back.
This is moot. A new Seattle franchise would share Climate Pledge Arena with the Kraken, rather than requiring public funds for a net-new arena.
Yeahhhhh no.
The NBA has said many times that renovating Key Arenas was not enough.

Memphis and Minnesota going east then?
Minnesota makes way too much sense for it to be anyone else. That region is deep with rivalries across sports and the wovles being in the west kind of just removes them from it. Also moving them would probably make the most sense for travel considerations.
No KC :(
Stupid gambling
Vegas would be dope
