Nyk33 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 So the NBA would completely abandon the Philly market?If the Sixers do in fact move, you might as well shut down any possibility of a third franchise in Philly. If my knowledge of the NBA's history is correct, The Warriors left in the 60's, only to be replaced by the Sixers a short time after. I don't know if they'd go back to Newark. While I believe a third team in the NY-NJ area could work, it would water down the market. Maybe Pittsburgh? Buffalo? Richmond, Norfolk, or VA Beach(wasn't SAC rumored to move to VA Beach a few years back?)? How about Baltimore? Hartford or Providence (both too small?)? Maybe north of the border like Montreal? Well, maybe not. There are several cities in the northeast that come to mind. Heck, they could move west (ha, opposite of Will Smith). Tampa Bay and Seattle both come to mind outside of the northeast. Which city makes the most sense, though if they do move (emphasis on "if")Am I the only one not seeing how having a team in Newark is better for business than having a team in Philly? Moving the team from Philly to Newark seems like a crazy idea. Though it would be funny to see two teams in NJ if the Knicks are forced to move out of New York if things don't go their way in 2023 with the lease situation.

It doesn't make any sense to me unless they throw an expansion team in Philly, but even then it seems a little fishy. I don't think there is a way the NBA completely abandons the Philly market for a third team in the New York area, while that idea could work, I think the NBA would rather try an expansion team there than move a big-market franchise.

cappital92 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Philadelphia is the fourth biggest media market in the country and the 76ers have been there for 50+ years. I have a feeling Adam Silver and the rest of the league would exhaust very single option they could to get current ownership to sell to someone that'll keep the team there before letting the 76ers move, especially to an area that has two teams. Of course, I never thought we'd see the Oklahoma City Thunder, so I have a low sodium opinion here.Bradley Beal is coming back tonight versus the Mavericks. Considering how elite Dallas' offense has been so far, he'll be needed. http://www.wizardsxtra.com Is it the shoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackBolt3 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Bleep the Spurs. Forever.Yeah, curse them for their consistent success, while keeping the same group of guys around for more than ten years, and their team oriented mentality, showing how sometimes a collective five is better than one superstar. Curses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 A collective five is better than one superstar when one of the collective five is a superstar. That Tim Duncan is taciturn and kind of a lame-o doesn't mean he's not one of the best basketball players who ever lived. That being said, SabresRule is a lame-o and not a board superstar. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
