When pigs fly!  (that's a Cincinnati joke)

I'll be in Cincy next Monday!

I don't see them high on the list though.

Why does Ohio need two teams? I'd rather see a team in Kansas or something, isn't basketball (at least college) huge over there?

Seattle is a good city with a lot of history, i agree that they deserve a team as well.

Cincinnati and Cleveland are pretty much in different states.  Very different places at opposite ends of the state.

Heck, you have to fly into Kentucky just to get into Cincy.

You guys missed the obvious location, Winnipeg. Perfect rivals for the T-Wolves and a way to increase the NBA's Canadian presence.

Yeah, Seattle does deserve a team. They are called the Sonics. I can't believe OK City ever got a team in the first place. I don't imagine they will be there forever.

Just reading this list of cities, all of which (except for Vegas) are losing population and in demographic spirals, makes me think there'll be no domestic NBA expansion any time soon.  No offense, I like Cincinnati, but there just isn't the economic/population base.  Over at Indy they have a great arena, a respectable tradition, Larry Legend, and no fans.

Whenever I hear the word Cincinnati the immediate word in my head is "Begals" followed by "WKRP" and "I wish they'd show reruns of that show"

then I go back to not ever thinking of that city

Simply based on how RIDICULOUSLY DEVOTED the city is to the Steelers, I would think Pittsburgh,pa should be considered. I've never seen such die hard fans, from young to extremely old. it's as if they issue steeler jerseys once you move there.lol I think that would be one of those surprise markets much like OKC. I don't think anyone would've thought OKC was a suitable location for a NBA team until tested after hurricane Katrina. Of course I would think Seattle would be next in line though

TP on Pittsburgh.  They have the other three major sports and a decent college team.
