    The Milwaukee Bucks are a young, promising team that has a devoted fan base throughout the state of Wisconsin. However, Bucks president Peter Feigen believes that the NBA will take control and move the team out of state if the Wisconsin legislature doesn't approve $250 million in public financing to help build a new arena in downtown Milwaukee.

    From the Milwaukee Business Journal:


    Milwaukee Bucks president Peter Feigin told Wisconsin lawmakers Monday that time was of the essence in approving $250 million in public funding for the proposed arena in downtown Milwaukee or the NBA will move the team to another city.

    At an informational hearing held by the state Legislature's Joint Finance Committee, Feigin said the Bucks owners' purchase agreement for the team includes a provision that construction of a new arena start in 2015. If that does not occur, he said the NBA will buy back the team for a $25 million profit and move them to "Las Vegas or Seattle."

    Feigin said the team needed to start construction by October or November to avoid the NBA starting a process of seeking buyers for the team. The team's lease at the BMO Harris Bradley Center expires in 2017, he said.

    I personally think they should just double up in Chicago if at all possible, they wouldn't leave the fanbase behind very far if at all and even some season ticket holders live within driving distance of Chicago and some fans in the metro area.

    Im all for a move west if it shifts Memphis East where they belong.

    Though I bet Phoenix gets ed and moved into Southwest division to accommodate geography of the situation.

    Hopefully the Grizz. I'd like us to at least make a token Finals appearance at some point in the franchise's history.

    Boilerplate relocation threat material.

    Expect the Milwaukee arena to be built.

    Those gots in Seattle don't deserve another team. Vegas is the only choice.

    lol, been awhile since LV has come up... in fact since the Sonics left Seattle, tbh. LV is not a sports city, it's a fun center. They should move the bucks to Green Bay. , build a retractable roof for Lambeau so there will no longer be any excuse to freeze A-Rod's testicles in -9 degree playoff games.

    Memphis? Why wouldn't it be New Orleans or even Minnesota, who is within easy driving distance of Chicago (and FWIW, Milwaukee though that wouldn't matter)?

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MOVE TO SEATTLE AND BECOME THE SONICS.
    They already have the color scheme to match the Sonics historical one.

    Like I said, move them to Chicago, it can support 2 teams and the current fanbase would still be able to make every home game if dedicated enough.

    Mother ers. Let 'em build it if they want to. Ain't nobody stoppin' 'em. Stop by city hall get the building permit, go to Home Depot on the way out, get a shovel and start diggin'. "We're" always getting threatened if we don't come up with the money. "You'll be part of it, "we're" in this together. It'll be your stadium too." you.

    This in' bas here, owner of the D'Backs, actually lamenting on local radio a fan(s) he saw at the stadium that "we" built this hump:::"The problem, John (98.7) talk show host who's interviewing this MF'er....the problem is the fans won't spend money on the extras. I've watched many men and women sit down in those seats, open up their purses/pockets and take out a tuna fish sandwich and a plastic bottle of water. We can't make money that way." That in' animal. 20 years ago they begged to have us taxed to build that in' thing. "Oh, it'll be your's too. I promise."

    You do realize Memphis is East of the Mississippi River?

    So is New Orleans. But either team would be viable movers to the East.

    I do know this. I answered his "why Memphis!" Inquiry.

    New Orleans could be it to solve the western hoard of stars. Send Davis east.

    It'll probably be Vegas since they have a ready-made NBA arena either under construction or already finished and Seattle doesn't.

    Couldn't agree more. I think Dale ate some truth pancakes over the 4 July weekend.
