Top Ten Cities That Most Deserve an NBA Team
They should be called the Seahawks, but change our NFL team name to Salem Sonics or Boise Gems or whatever, but it's gotta be in Boise an/or Salem instead of Seattle. Seahawks basketball should've been invented since pro basketball have established, instead of short lived Miami Seahawks in the 1946 and 47 NFL seasons. Seattle and Portland needs BASEBALL and NBA instead of NFL, NFL or SOCCER, they don't need all of them. Tacoma should have the NHL team to be called Tacoma Totems, Spokane should have SOCCER, and Boise and Salem should have the NFL. Got it? Great!
The City of Pittsburgh really needs an NHL Hockey Team because they do an outstanding job of supporting their other 3 of the 4 main Major Pro-Sports Teams (Pittsburgh Steelers, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Pittsburgh Penguins), and all 3 teams are average and above quality teams. The Steelers (in my opinion) is Pittsburgh's BEST Pro-Sports Team, with the Penguins coming in at #2, and then the Pirates at #3. NBA is the only sport out of the 4 main major Pro-Sports (NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL) that Pittsburgh is missing. Like the other Pittsburgh Pro-Sports Teams, this would be a GREAT rival to the Philadelphia 76ers. Here are some possible team names for a Proposed Pittsburgh NBA Basketball Expansion Team:
1) Pittsburgh Roadrunners
2) Pittsburgh Zebras
3) Pittsburgh Constructionmen
4) Pittsburgh Bridgemen
They haven't had one for over 60 years. Plus, they have the Cardinals, Rams, and the Blues.
This city's already on this list.
I'm not saying this because I live here. I'm saying this because of two great college basketball teams make this city basketball hungry.
Cincinnati is having basketball redound there, but not confirmed yet.
It could work they have some passion for college basketball at least
Vancouver is also looking to move the Memphis Grizzlies back to Vancouver this year, but is confirmed for having one in Nashville, stopping this nonsense for the Grizzlies.
I love the idea of having Canadian teams. It shows that the NBA has versatility!
Vancouver failed once, we should not let history repeat itself.
Kansas City is looking to have T-Mobile Center as an NBA arena by 2030, but is not confirmed yet to have a team located in Kansas City.
They had a NBA team, but they relocated to Sacramento and did worse than expected there. I have to admit, this city really deserves a NBA team, especially the proud sports fans that lives here. I hope it happens eventually.
Kansas city is a city that backs up their team in any way minor league or major.
San Diego is not going to be able to get an NBA team there unless the Los Angeles Clippers or the Utah Jazz can move to that location.
Yeah they could use one. Send the Clippers to San Diego to go with the Padres
They could really use one right now.
Montreal is also wanting an NBA team sharing with the Montreal Canadiens, but not confirmed to be located there yet.
This would be like putting an NFL team in Alabama.
The Baltimore Bullets might get a sport team there, bring the Baltimore Bullets 2.0. But not confirmed yet to have a team play there.
Baltimore has a HUGE fan-base and I know lots of people who would want an NBA team there. They have great baseball and football teams they deserve an NHL and an NBA team!
The Ravens have had some success, so a team here would do great.
The Kings should move to Las Vegas because it now has a WNBA team but not an NBA team. It also has an NFL and an NHL team
No one wants to put a professional sports team in this city.
The only way this could work is if the Memphis Grizzlies were to leave.
Some teams that would be a great fit for Nashville :
Timberwolves, Magic, and Kings
The Buckeyes get a great fan base, so an NBA team would get one as well.
That would be cool if edmonton had an nba team and they played in rogers place
Not much to say, but basketball was invented in this city.
CRAP! I forgot to add this one! Oh well, it's on here now.
That would be cool if winnipeg had an nba team and they played in the Winnipeg jets arena
This would screw up the league entirely there's a reason the NFL hasn't moved to London yet
