        Vegas team has to make the Finals in their first season like the Golden Knights did or I consider their franchise a failure.

            I hope Seattle gets the Sonics back and they restore the record books, etc. OKC has enough of their own history now. Time to restore Seattle.

                  I’ve speculated this, however there are 4 possible destinationsI think are in the NBA’s plans

                  Most likely:

                  • Seattle: Pretty simple due to the Sonics and would be a huge fanbase to get back

                  Can happen:

                  • Vegas: Sports leagues are moving teams to this destination (NHL and NFL) so it’s probably inevitable the NBA does this too

                  • Vancouver: I think it’s time for the NBA to add its second Canadian franchise. I for one, REALLY prefer this city to get a franchise first before Vegas.

                  The Mystery New Destination (No traction yet):

                  • Mexico City: Now this one I think will be a surprise to many, however, it’s noteworthy that just recently (like a month ago), the NBA opened a G League team at Mexico City.

                    NBA G League expands to Mexico City with landmark partnership with Capitanes

                    NBA G League expands to Mexico City with landmark partnership with Capitanes

                    Mexico City’s Capitanes Becomes the NBA G League’s First Team Outside of the U.S. and Canada

                            we need to steal the Hornets from Charlotte. at this point we deserve them way more than they do

                                @bigjosher15 other than the fact that they're already in Charlotte, why do you think they should stay there over the Triangle ?

                                  @quantumkat Seattle SuperSonics is a must, but also I would like to see Vegas have a team just because I love Vegas... that’s my new 2nd home. They deserve a team too. Bring back the Sonics and hire Gary Peyton as a defensive coach.

                                    @quantumkat If Vegas gets a team... James Harden is asking for a trade ASAP.

                                          lmao JCole lives here

                                          The Triangle is more populous and has a higher per capita income than Charlotte Metro

                                              what??? do you even know what you're talking about? UNC is in the Triangle.

Things have changed a lot in last 20 years with NBA being much more popular now than ever. Hopefully given the chance they can do better a second time around but I would think the league and financial backers would not want to take the risk.

                                                                        Seattle needs a NBA team. It doesn’t make sense for them not to have one. They had a great fan support when Sonics played there and have shown over and over again how much they support their sports teams like the Seahawks and Mariners. I really hope they get the original Sonics team name and get to play back there again.
