Expansion: Las Vegas? Seattle?
-
-
Vegas team has to make the Finals in their first season like the Golden Knights did or I consider their franchise a failure.
-
Vegas Seattle but I also really want Vancouver again
-
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.

Vancouver Canada?
-
@itsmecaiden Yeah baby. I’d love to be able to go to an NBA game and come back the next morning
-
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
Mexico City’s Capitanes Becomes the NBA G League’s First Team Outside of the U.S. and Canada

Buffalo? Syracuse? Rochester? Please. The only realistic is Buffalo.

Lol another fake bandwagon team
-
@errolzzz Syracuse Nationals please.
-
@dortthefort new jersey prob needs a team
-
we need to steal the Hornets from Charlotte. at this point we deserve them way more than they do
-
@jdealla and where are you from making this claim?
-
@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.
-
@jdealla bc of our alr big fanbase, the rappers that're fans of the hornest ex. Dababy and Jermaine Cole, we could keep this franchise
-
not to mention mj's ownership of the team coming from unc

lmao JCole lives here
The Triangle is more populous and has a higher per capita income than Charlotte Metro
-
@quantumkat If Expansion happens, Seattle must be one of the teams

what??? do you even know what you're talking about? UNC is in the Triangle.
-
@jdealla idek at this point, i have to leave soon
-
@bigjosher15 you do know that the Triangle is Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill right
-
@jdealla yes i live in durham
-
-

This article came out In January so if an expansion team does come it will most likely be in Seattle
Seattle mayor ‘pretty optimistic’ about Sonics return after talk with NBA commissioner
Could Seattle see a return of NBA basketball? Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan is feeling good about it.

I do this all the time. League Expansion.
Las Vegas Gamblers

Grizzlies were unable to survive financially in Vancouver. 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.
