McCall Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Don't worry the league will realign again when we get these future moves: Brooklyn Knights-Former NJ Nets, I'm still waiting for the groundbreaking please!Las Vegas Kings-former SacramentoKansas City Wolves -former Minnesota Timberwolves after the Target Center becomes outdated or they could move to St. Paul and share the Excel Center and stay in MinnesotaAnaheim Clippers -former L.A. Clippers. Donald Sterling finally kicks the bucket and his family sells the team to the Samueli'sOther than possibly the Sacramento to Las Vegas move, none of those would really have any effect on the alignment. They basically would still fall into the same division they are currently in (or previously proposed) geographically. And even Vegas could still fit in the Pacific Division (mainly because they're slightly farther west than Phoenix.) https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I was about to disagree...but upon further view, that makes the most sense....until New Orleans moves to Kansas City, then you flip the Sonics and Hornets.Nope. Not gonna happen.The new governor and the Hornets jointly called for and are working on a new long-term lease, without "benchmarks" (which coincidentally, were met and now only need to be maintained) and should have that done before the start of next season, if not sooner. Season ticket sales are increasing (naturally, after a season like this), and should be about 8,000 to 10,000 before next season. You know that old adage, "you don't know what you have until you lose it?" Well that's the story of sports teams in New Orleans: - In the last 4-5 years prior to Katrina, the Saints would usually sell out home games, but barely (just in time for the blackout to be lifted). Katrina hit, they played games in San Antonio (whose mayor and movers/shakers tried to "do us a favor" by taking them off of our hands permanently), and when they came back after one year, they sold out the season for the first time ever and now have a 30,000 person waiting list for season tickets. The state and the Saints are working out a new long-term (15-20 year) lease, which will probably have continued improvments to the Superdome in the short-term and a new stadium coming on-line in the latter part of the lease. - The Hornets went away for two years, and all many people heard was that they weren't coming back at all. Then when they came back, all that was put forth was that it was good for one year, through the All Star break. Attendance suffered despite a decent (at the time) team, as folks still didn't want to invest money and emotions into a team that had been gone for two years, even wore another city's name on its jersey, and was strongly hinted would only be here for a short time. It all came to a head with the announcement about the revised lease with benchmarks around the first of this year. At that point it was quite clear that the team would stay, if folks would only support them with tickets. Attendance began to pick up, got a boost from the All-Star game, as well as from the realization that the team was NOT going to fade down the strech and that they were for real.I have read that the power that be behind the Sprint Center in KC are looking more towards an NHL tenant.They have the fans now...but my personal jury is out until we see them stick around when the team isn't as good. It's one thing to fill the stands with bandwagoners and call basketball saved. It's another thing to see them stick around if the team dips a little into mediocrity. If they stay, then yes, the Hornets are sticking around. If the fans don't stay, well, the Sprint Center is open to anyone who wants to move a franchise.
