If you had the ability to relocate a NBA team, where would it be and why?

I'd move Memphis to Seattle.

Memphis has never really embraced the team since it moved from Vancouver. And Seattle ought to have a franchise. That city loves hoops.

Returning the Griz to the Pacific Northwest would help balance out the NW Division. Oklahoma City could then move to the SW Division, where it belongs.

Lastly, I think the historic Portland-Seattle rivalry would be re-energized by two rosters filled with young, up-and-coming, talented players.

Put a decent team in those cities, and they go nuts though.  The cities that suck are those that even when there IS a compelling product on the floor, people stay away from the arena and don't watch on TV.  I mean, crap, if you just 86 the cities whose fans are apathetic at the moment, you probably would have moved the Celtics four years ago.

The Celtics! That's right, I said it. They should be relocated to Springfield Mo. so I can get season tickets and see every game instead of the occasional one on TNT, ESPN or whichever channel. Seriously though, I would like to see Kansas City get a team again and maybe Cleveland would do well there.

Detroit and Philadelphia are two of the oldest NBA cities. Of course there are going to be ups and downs for franchises, but there has been basketball played there for the past 50 years. No way you can vacate those two cities.

Sacramento to Vegas and Charlotte to Kansas City are two other relocations I might like to see.

We had this discussion a month or so ago, didn't we? 

Long and short of it - I'd be absolutely shocked if the Grizzlies are still in Memphis in five years' time.

Anybody to Winnipeg so I could get season tickets.

I think Memphis to Seattle is the best choice. Perhaps Charlotte to Kansas City. Clippers back to San Diego.

Toronto, Minnie and Memphis to Seattle, St Louis and Pittsburgh.

3 least supported teams to the city that was supportive yet abandoned, a former NBA city that's really too big not to have a pro team and a city that hasn't been tried for hoops in the NBA.  KC, San Diego and Buffalo are options but weren't terribly supportive of their teams.

I'd like to see Baltimore get a basketball team. Although, the fans in Maryland already have the Wizards, Baltimore seems like a good urban city to have a basketball team.
