:lol Stay seething, Lakerfan.
This actually makes a lot of sense tbh. Seattle is dying for a basketball team. The clippers will always be the redheaded step child in LA and second banana to the Lakers.
why not go somewhere that they will get the support they deserve?

It would be an idiotic decision to downgrade from the second-biggest market in America to the #14 market in America, especially after Ballmer spent $2 billion to buy the team (and will spend even more to build a new arena in Inglewood).
:cry "But, but, they'll always be the second team in town!" :cry
Same goes for the Mets, the Jets, the White Sox, etc. You don't see them moving. This is the kind of thing that only fans and the media care about.

Being in the 2nd biggest market has resulted in nothing, nada, zilch for LA's JV team. At least in Seattle, you'd be actually wanted. :lol

New York is a totally different market, far bigger than any other in the US. They can legitimately host two teams.
The White Sox need to relocate as well tbh. As someone who used to live near Chicago the joke was always that the Sox had to pay people to come to the games. The stadium was so empty any time I went, pretty much a grave yard. If your being honest with yourself the only market that successfully host two teams is New York. Try to prove me wrong...you cant.

SF has the 49ers and the Raiders...A's and Giants. All 4 pretty decent attendance and interest. And don't argue that Oakland is a market without SF. That would be like saying Anaheim is a market without LA or Brooklyn without Manhattan or some shit
Seattle had a basketball team and couldn't keep it. They don't deserve another.

Correction: the thief from Methlahoma STOLE the Sonics from Seattle. They didn't lose their team.

Disagree. I used to live in the Great Northwest. Clay Bennet STOLE the Sonics.
Sonics won it all in '79. Clipps haven't won jack. Yet the Sonics don't have a team but the Clipps do? Doesn't make sense. Clipps should move to Seattle.

Didn’t matter if Seattle didn’t want to build a new arena.

Balmer already paid his LA real estate or beach front property rate for the Clippers; however it was said at the time.

Las Vegas will get an NBA team before Seattle.

I'm interested in seeing what the greatest architect in NBA history and the richest owner can cook up. Also as a consumer its great to have two teams in big markets. It makes tickets more affordable. It gives more choices to consumers. More choices are always better. I have a lot friends who are Laker fans, yet they only attend the Lakers live games when they play the Clippers on live Clipper home games. They technically attended more Clipper live home games than Laker live home games.

Their arena is dope. Love the location too. Went there last year for a preseason Laker game vs Dubs. I also saw the blueprint and location of where the Raiders will be playing. Vegas is dope for real.
The year 2021: Las Vegas Spurs, probably :lol
