Guest Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Move the Clippers LA dose not need 2 Teams.Maybe they want two teams. You don't need an SUV, but you'd piss your pants if someone said "we know what's best for you." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Until last year the Clippers were a punchline, and the matinée for the prime time Lakers. Moving to OKC would be the best thing ever to happen to that franchise. I look around the league and they are the best team to put in OKC, if you insist on the Hornets staying in New Orleans. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Louis is ultimately a 3 sport town max (which is nothing to be ashamed of, just the truth).

STL FANATIC Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Eh. I'm one who actually thinks we could support a basketball team, but I don't have specific numbers to back that up.I know the area does enjoy basketball, and if the teams aren't perenial basement dwellers, then I believe they would be supported.

So far, I've never thought of St. Louis as being able to support a franchise in each of the four major sports leagues. Baseball, yes. Football, yes. Hockey, when things are good, yes. Basketball? Novelty, might wear off soon.It's not like any NBA team you might possibly get will be instant playoff contenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novelty, might wear off soon.It's not like any NBA team you might possibly get will be instant playoff contenders.Right. And that's always a struggle. But I'm just saying if we had a team that was good enough to build a fanbase, the fanbase would stick.The Blues attendance wasn't way down because the team was in last. The attendance was way down because of the lockout, the selloff of the team, the slow change in owners, a not very popular coach (though I didn't mind him), and a awful on ice project.Now that the team has a new direction and plays with heart (which is enough to give you a chance in any game), fans are coming back quickly. We've had a few near sellouts lately, and I think by next season we'll be getting 15,000 pretty regularly (which, while 5,000ish short of a sellout is a pretty good turnout and a huge improvement). We don't need winners, we just need an effort.(And, outside of the market size argument, because marketsize is strictly about how many show up regardless of reasons...it's also not a matter of bandwagon fans. It's a midrange market with a limited income. So while fans don't stop supporting a losing team in spirit, there is a certain point when they have to decide if there is a better way for their money to be spent. But again, I realize that doesn't matter in terms of statistics and whether or not a team could be supported.)

harperdc Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Until last year the Clippers were a punchline, and the matinée for the prime time Lakers. Moving to OKC would be the best thing ever to happen to that franchise. I look around the league and they are the best team to put in OKC, if you insist on the Hornets staying in New Orleans.that's more because of the owner than anything else - and unless he gets bought out, if the team moves, they'll still suck hard. Why? Too much money going from the team to his pockets.and the Hornets have announced they're going back; I'll take that as official word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NBA ain't about to increase up to 36 teams. And also, I think you quit with the Minor League/CBA/ABA type names. I think the NBA might a little too "professional" for some of those names. Dragons, Express maybe but not Blizzard, Condors, Bandits, and Aztecs. And a NBA team in Idaho???, please. College sports as we know them are just about dead. The lid is off on all the corruption that taints just about every major program and every decision that the schools or the NCAA make is only about money, money, and more money. We'll have three 16+ team super-conferences sooner rather than later, killing much of the regional flair and traditional rivalries that make college sports unique and showing the door to any school that doesn't bring money to the table in the process. Pretty soon the smaller schools are going to have to consider forming their own sanctioning body to keep the true spirit of college sports alive because the NCAA will only get worse in it's excess from here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Redundant Threads Topics and Other Announcements...*-Re-Aligned NHL/'MLB/NFL/NBA etc.-*This topic has been brought up countless times. We'd all put the Whalers back in Hartford if we could. But we can't, they are gone. So are the Nordiques, and the Jets, and the Expos, and the whatevers. We all have ideas about what our ideal NHL/MLB/NBA/NFL would be, and they have been said before.If you want to do a topic like this, do it as a "what if?" concepts project in that forum.Please, I beg, get a life and stop with the realignments!!! I click to read about the Sonics, not some [insert derogatory term here]'s plan to put a team in Idaho and switch the Jazz and Hornets.

CityOfWalrus Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 i wonder why anyone hasn't already said the Clippers moving back to SD and re named the Aztecs isn't a good idea since San Diego State University is already the Aztecs... and they have a b-ball team so that would make things pretty confusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
