Clippers to San Diego
Grizzlies to Seattle
Bobcats (change name) to Kansas City or St. Louis

if Atlanta continues to be apathetic, move the Hawks to Baltimore

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.

If that happens, Baltimore would have stolen the Browns from Saint Louis and Cleveland plus the Hawks from Atlanta!

KC, San Diego and Buffalo are options but weren't terribly supportive of their teams.

I think the average NBA game attendance sucked back then so maybe it's hard to say that those cities didn't support their teams a whole lot more than other cities.

Toronto to Seattle, (and the Celtics to Portland, ME ... hey, I can dream, can't I? ;)).

I'd feel bad if Toronto was the team to relocate (but better if it was Seattle...somehow I've gained "Sonics Guilt".), Vancouver already lost their team, and Toronto has never been better than "kinda okay", and even than they weren't very good. Canada never had a chance...and they deserve a chance..they're nice people, and their cities are so remarkably clean.

That's the one thing that amazed me about Canada ... I haven't seen a lot of it, just Toronto, Montreal and Nova Scotia/Prince Edward Island, but what I have seen has been immaculate - the roads, the cities, even the unpopulated areas between - I really believe they take great pride in their country and how well they take care of it. If I had to move to another country, Canada would probably be at the top of my list. Too bad both our borders aren't so hospitable.

I just want the Wizards to change their name and the Thunder to update their logos and uniforms.

Oh, and the Jazz need to give their name back to New Orleans.

Baltimore is a good choice.  They would support a team better then Atlanta.

From Wizards back to Bullets or...?

I agree with the Thunder sentiment. They have got the most boring identity in the whole league. Not even ugly, just plain boring.


So, it's:
-New Orleans Jazz
-Utah Bobcats (are there any out there in the mountains?)
-Charlotte Hornets

Utah: "The Stormin' Mormons!"

"Lakers" should go back to Minnesota, while we're at it. 

"Nyets" should become official.

Celtics should have to play their games in my backyard do I really need to defend the reason?   Seriously, Sacramento would be first on my list.

It's a [dang] shame we are that low.  I mean the fairweather Lakers are ahead of us.

Au contraire, Boston is one of only seven teams to sell out every ticket for every home game.

I am surprised to see Cleveland among the seven. Good to see them support their team that strongly post-LeBron.

Dont be ridiculous. We're not higher up on the list because we physically can't fit any more people in. It's not by choice, we're always at 100% capacity

It is way harder to become a Canadian citizen than it is to become an American.

I've seen everything East of (and including) Toronto to everything West of (and including) Quebec City, and I have yet to find a city I feel more at home in than Ottawa. Clean, well organized, beautiful, hospitable, but still with its more than fair share of bars, restaurants, and general debauchery. Plus, they loves the rugby.
