draft may move to staples center next year

[spursfan1000]

The NBA Draft could move to Los Angeles next year and possibly the next three years as Madison Square Garden undergoes summer construction which won't be complete until 2014.
Tim Leiweke, President and CEO of AEG, said he is currently talking to the league about holding the NBA draft at Staples Center or the Nokia Theatre.
"We are talking to them and they are a high priority for us," said Leiweke. "They're comfortable here; they helped design our campus so it would be a perfect fit."
A league source says a timetable hasn't been set on announcing the location for next year's draft but chances are good the draft could be moving away from New York for the first time since 2001.

Well at least Clipper Fans will have something to do during June now. As a Laker Fan I couldn't give a shit. NFL draft>NBA draft

Stern will get cheers in LA.

May as well co-locate the league offices with Laker team HQs. Eliminates redundancies and reduces costs.
