tBBP Posted Thursday at 04:54 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:54 PM Is there an ownership group in or with strong ties to Vancouver with enough wealth and a solid plan to operate a franchise there? That's the question I have... (And alternatively: does Commissioner Silver have any kind of anything against [the idea of a franchise again in] Vancouver that fans/the public should know about—you know, for "basketball reasons"?)

Also Pistons signed an ad deal with stockx (green logo on home): I really, really love this look. I feel like (and hope) that the Pistons use it as part of their core look. It'd be a great statement jersey, especially considering it's not only a nod to the Bad Boys, but it feels like a modern take on their mid-60s jerseys. 4 Quote "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

In terms of ownership groups who could, I would say the Whitecaps/Canucks group could. But I don't know if they would explore interest. EDIT: the Canucks group once owned the Grizzlies so maybe nevermind on that end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pistons only look is still modern and looks good, but it feels outdated because losing does not help a brand look and what we associate it with. The more recent losing streak would overshadow the '04 championship in that look 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you seriously saying that the Seattle-Vancouver area is on par with NY and LA, the two largest sports markets in North America and arguably the world? Sorry, but you just lost the argument right there. Your first point doesn’t even register on the NBA’s list of qualifications for a market and your second point is just you saying “they don’t need a team” has absolutely no substance to the argument you’re trying to make. You really think “Vegas doesn’t need a team” would be a valid enough reason to the NBA as to why Vegas doesn’t need a team? 1 Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be profitable if they put the team in a dumpster. The population density of the east is far greater than that of the Pacific Northwest. The Mariners don’t want a team in Portland because they want the whole market to themselves. I’m sure the Blazers and original Sonics felt the same with the Vancouver before and would probably again. Not to mention, there’s no way they would expand two teams in such one small of area rather than multiples. Doesn’t make any business sense whatsoever. The original Vancouver team was part of a 2-team expansion into Canada at a time when the Blazers and Sonics were already long established. Now would be the geographical equivalent of them expanding to Vancouver and Victoria instead of Toronto back in 1995. It’s an immediate single market over saturation by expansion.

Lesson is change for the sake of change is rarely a good idea. In terms of the Pistons, I can understand the younger generation not liking that look since the Pistons last had a good season way back in 2008. That's a entire generation that associates nothing but losing and misery with that look. I'm hoping they don't make any major changes to the core look, but they've already done a lot of damage with the new blue sidelines, no painted keys court design and the parade of awful Statement Edition jerseys.
