I hope it's Memphis or New Orleans but If I had to bet it will be the Kings.
 
Obviously, it is Portland.

I guess it all comes down to whether or not the Maloofs can get financing for a new arena in Sacto -- that is, public financing. I'd love to see the Grizzlies move because they have shitty fan support even with a decent young team and nice barn to play in, but knowing the NBA it will be a long suffering fan-base like Sacramento who has an even more exciting, young up and coming team that will get robbed.
 
NBA players already going broke, can you imagine if they actually lived in Vegas.
 
Maybe it is the Miami Heat! I would almost have to laugh at Heat fans if that happened. Although, no way in hell it does happen.
 
That sounds like a pile of lies to get voters to fund an arena.

How could a team already have a contract that they MUST play in Vegas if an arena is built?

Who exactly would that contract be with? Not the Arena.

Absolute bollocks.

Crooks trying to get vote through.

Please tell me you weren't one of the idiots who voted against the Delta Dome? Portland coul dhave been a real city with both the NFL and NBA
 
LV comes up with the bribe, Stern will come up with a team.

Keep in mind, it was the LV sports book that caught on to Donaghy. I wonder how many other names they have in reserve, if Stern welshes on the deal.

I agree with that for shizzle.

It will happen with an arena. I just think the "a team already has a contract" part is bullshizzle ma nizz.

Holy Shit.....I just looked up the Delta Dome. I had no idea that Portland was that close to getting the Oakland Raiders. That would have completely changed Portland in every way, especially from a business aspect.

That close to getting them.... and then losing them a few years down the road.

Do you think anyone on here is actually old enough to have been able to even vote on that?

It would have been the first domed stadium in the world. Portland could have had the 8th wonder of the world, and probably both the NFL and MLB. The fact that the Raiders probably would have left means nothing. With that stadium there, Portland would have easily been awarded another team.

Seattle probably would be Portland's little step brother rather than the other way around.

HAHA. I hope they do have a team and players go and gamble all their money away. With all the help they get and have available on how to protect their wealth wisley, so many of them piss it all away. I love it.
 
Vegas is great. Love it there. Would live there in a second.

Seems inevitable that at least a couple of pro franchises will be there.

Oh if only we had the NFL in Portland there would be no limits to the city's greatness. Schools, Cops and firemen be damned we wants some fucking pigskin action up in this bitch!

No I didn't vote against the Delta Dome before you ask. I don't really see NFL team making or breaking a city. It's city (size) "realness" that then gains NFL teams not the other way around.
 
Breaking (fake) news: Maloofs announce new addition to their Palms casino....a new basketball arena and team!

In all seriousness, I really wish the Clippers would just leave my Laker's gym alone :P
How many other great franchises share a gym with a team in the same sport? Just like the Lakers right? Lame :P

Why is it always the assumption that schools, cops and fireman are the ONLY people to be affected negatively, and ALWAYS affected negatively when a stadium is built or proposed. Does every city with a publicly financed stadium ahev absolutely terrible schools, police and firemen? Think of the Children!!

And it's not like Portland schools are in great shape now anyway. It's just short sighted thinking and small town mentality.
