Retromaniac Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I tried to envision a time when the WNBA is as large as the NBA. Some of the team names are from the old WBL, some are from the ABL, some are from the NWBL. The Toronto team I have yet to think of a name for. Obviously the players on the lesser teams listed will not be joining their team.EASTERN CONFERENCENORTHEASTERN DIVISIONNew England BlizzardNew Jersey GemsNew York LibertyPhiladelphia RageWashington MysticsSOUTHEASTERN DIVISIONAtlanta JusticeCharlotte StingMiami SolNashville NoiseOrlando MiracleCENTRAL DIVISIONCleveland RockersDetroit ShockIndiana FeverMilwaukee DoesToronto ???WESTERN CONFERENCESOUTHWESTERN DIVISIONDallas FuryHouston CometsNew Orleans PridePhoenix MercurySan Antonio Silver StarsNORTHWESTERN DIVISIONChicago CondorsColorado ChillMinnesota LynxSeattle ReignUtah StarzzPACIFIC DIVISIONLong Beach StingraysLos Angeles SparksPortland FireSacramento MonarchsSan Jose Lasers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintsfan Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 As I sad in the other topic, the WNBA needs to keep it small, have no pretensions to greatness (the NHL was made up of 6 teams to start off with remember!) I wiouldn't ever invision a 30 team WNBA, maybe 12-16 would be a good number to aim at maybe! 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

commish Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Iverson: "Now I know that I'm supposed to lead by example and all that but I'm not shoving that aside like it don't mean anything. I know it's important, I honestly do but we're talking about the WNBA. We're talking about the WNBA man. (laughter from the media crowd) We're talking about the WNBA. We're talking about the WNBA. We're not talking about the game. We're talking about the WNBA. When you come to the arena, and you see me play, you've seen me play right, you've seen me give everything I've got, but we're talking about the WNBA right now. (more laughter)"Are we talking about the WNBA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retromaniac Posted August 20, 2004 Author Share Posted August 20, 2004 First of all, I apologize about posting another madeup allignment. I promise I won't do unrealistic allignments like I did in the past (NFL in Akron, PLEASE!) I also won't do them often.Also, someone mentioned the two Fury teams. I noticed that and have replaced the Tennessee Fury with the Nashville Noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapshot Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 will it work? NO! It barely works as a 13-team league. I haven't checked out many box scores, but from what I've seen, attendance is down from the first few "new gimmick" years. They even moved a game this year to Radio City Music Hall, and it looked far from sold out. Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
