Woohoo! Bring dem Kings to town so I can see Spurs games here twice a year. :lol

[racm]

Seattle Kings?

That would mean a reclassification of divisions, though. Portland moves to Pacific while the Kings move to the Northwest?

Any team that moves to Seattle will assume the Sonics name and colors. It was part of the agreement that allowed Bennett to leave town, in that he had to "share" the history of the franchise with Seattle and leave the team name.

[BRHornet45]

sons its about time that filthy rich city quits being cheap. Key Arena was built in 1960 and was only renovated once in 1994. Its been a borderline WNBA/High School playoffs/Rodeo - caliber arena for the last 10+ years. I mean just look at this dump ...

Ah. So the Kings name finally goes.

A league where the Sonics and Thunder both exist... :lmao

[Donkeybong]

tough shit seattle. too little too late.

[Wild Cobra Kai]

tough shit seattle. too little too late.

A bit like the barn door and the horse.

[ElNono]

So what team is moving there? Charlotte?

[Jacob1983]

Seattle deserves a new team. No ifs, ands, or buts. The Sonics won a damn NBA championship and 3 Wester Conference championships in Seattle. That shit matters.
Fuck the Bobcats. The Carolinas are NASCAR and football country so who gives a shit if they lose their shitty NBA team.

What medicine are you on?

You sound fucking retarded.

Oh, Christ. The Jordanettes? That's all we need. SMH

If that happened, I bet Memphis would wet themselves with happiness. They could be a 3 seed in the East instead of buried in the West. :lol

That, and switching from Bobcats to Sonics would retire the worst team name ever. :lol

[rayjayjohnson]

cool, now they just need a team

:lmao seattle

[tlongII]

I want the Sonics back in Seattle. The I-5 rivalry is great.

[Edward]

The Bobcats are the obvious team that needs to move. They've had one playoff season and outside of that have been utter dogshit. All their players leave as soon as they possibly can, they can't draw any notable free agents, and they have no promise whatsoever of being good in the near future. If Seattle earns a new team, it should be the Bobcats relocating.

[Clipper Nation]

Kings are probably moving there, their owners are bankrupt douches who poisoned the well for good in Sacramento, tbh.....

[pass1st]

Clippers should move there instead of staying here without paying rent.

:lol Lakers paying more for the same arena

[Venti Quattro]

:lol Lakers paying more for the same arena

Because the Lakers use it more.

[pass1st]

It's Laker's arena, clippers are like their retarded cousin that they feel sorry for.

:lol 42 years of losing
:lol 95 million dollar monkey
:lol Laker's bitch

[Findog]

Why don't the Clippers move to Anaheim and play in the Honda Center? Carve out that territory and identity for themselves the way the Angels did vs the Dodgers?

Pretty sad what's happened to Charlotte. That was a great NBA town back in the early days of the Hornets. They led the league in attendance damned near every year. George Shinn really poisoned the well down there and the Bobcats have made matters worse.

No different than the Browns and Ravens existing in the same league- in the same division, no less.

A new city doesn't fix shitty ownership and a shitty front office. They'd be better off leaving the team there and firing everyone involved. :lol

Because moving out of the #2 market in America is a horrendous basketball decision at a time when everyone wants to play in a select few markets, and it's not like the Clippers are losing money in LA, tbh.....

I don't get why people want the Clippers to move so badly.... having two relevant teams in each of the top two media markets can only be good for the league, tbh.....

Because they could move to Mexico and get all of Laker mexifans.

We got Toronto Rapters, why not Tijuana Clippers?

[DMX7]

Give them back OKC!

I hope the building fails as badly as the Alamodome did in trying to lure an NFL team.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

The Alamodome managed to get a junior college team tho

That UTSA vs Texas A&M Commerce matchup was actually a huge step up tbh considering the building was used mostly for high school football before UTSA got a team. :lol

[DeadlyDynasty]

utsa has a team?

[Trainwreck2100]

they're in the WAC now, lol the WAC

[BRHornet45]

lol Alamodome

[baseline bum]

lol Alamodome

:cry We got the looters but not the football team after Katrina. :cry

[Jacob1983]

Jordan has basically thrown in the towel on the Bobcats. It's time for him to accept defeat and sell the team and let them move to Seattle and become the Sonics.
I have already figured out how the division shit would work. Bobcats would become the Sonics and play in the Northwest Division. OKC goes to the Southwest and Memphis goes to the Southeast. Bam.

[Trainwreck2100]

lol Alamodome

:cry you tried to steal out team after we tried to steal your team :cry

[FkLA]

they're in the WAC now, lol the WAC

C-USA next season!! :hat
