Steve03Merc Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Kentucky Shouldn't-have-an-NBA-teamiansWhy not?Where? Lexington and Louisville are 100% college basketball cities, and if it's in Northern Kentucky, why not just base the team in Cincinnati? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Kentucky Shouldn't-have-an-NBA-teamiansWhy not?Uh... why should they? I mean, Kentucky? Have they ever had a pro team ever? Why would they deserve one now? Just because UK Basketball is good? Should Alabama have an NFL team? What makes Kentucky more deserving of an NBA team than say somewhere random like... South Carolina?Plus, Kentucky is on this list: http://www.businessinsider.com/the-10-poorest-states-in-america-2014-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I don't even think half of these cities could support an NBA franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpcincal Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Kentucky Shouldn't-have-an-NBA-teamiansThey would have had the Colonels if the owner, John Y Brown wasn't too cheap to pay the $1 million entrance fee to the NBA. Actually, it wasn't a case of Brown being too cheap to get the Colonels into the NBA. It was that the NBA did not want Kentucky and St. Louis in after the merger and demanded that the others ABA owners make deals with Brown and the Silnas (Spirits owners) to fold their teams. Brown was just easier to buy off than the Silnas were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Cincinnati could only go by one name - Royals. Here's what they'd look like: https://www.behance.net/gallery/15055801/Cincinnati-Royals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Carolina?Plus, Kentucky is on this list: http://www.businessinsider.com/the-10-poorest-states-in-america-2014-12How many pro teams did any state have, before they had one? As for the article, Kentucky's Golden Triangle is nothing like the stereotype so many adhere to. If we use that "poorest states" list as a criteria, the Saints, Pelicans, Falcons, Braves, Hawks, Redskins, Nationals, Capitols, Wizards, Suns, (Arizona) Cardinals, Diamondbacks, and Coyotes all need to move. State boundaries are arbitrary in this case.That being said, making a case for Louisville over other cities is admittedly difficult. Furthermore, I think there are many with influence who simply don't want pro sports in Louisville, instead focusing on other (worthy) things. And that's fine, I guess.

Discrim Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 My grandpa was from Paducah...not sure how he ended up in Wisconsin, and given he's been dead for over a decade, I can't exactly ask him, but I digress...anyway, I'd read somewhere that it wasn't entirely that the NBA didn't want the Colonels, one thing factoring in was that the Bulls badly wanted Artis Gilmore.Playing the name game a bit...St. Louis ShowmenKentucky BanjosLas Vegas BlackjacksVancouver CascadesCalgary WranglersPittsburgh PipersNashville StrummersCincinnati KnightsAlbuquerque ConquestVirginia SquiresAnaheim Mighty Dunks KaisersMexico City AztecasNot exactly world shaking, but here ya go.
