Bronxmet Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 My Fight is between the Clippers, Kings, Hawks, Sonics, and T-Wolves.I even came up with an elaborate franchise shuffle. The Hawks can move back to St. Louis while a slumping team can supplant them in Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 My guesses would be:- Kings (need a new arena badly, could go to Vegas since the Maloof's are big time Vegas hotel owners)- Sonics (same as Kings, need a new arena. Their current one has been renovated, but it doesnt have the popular bells and whistles new ones do.)- Hornets (due to the Katrina factor, unfortunately) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor R. Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I would say the Kings mainley because of the arena Go Lakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedsunited Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Obviously it's the Sonics, they've already been bought.Next in line? Kings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahatman Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 The Clippers were rumored to move to Anaheim into the Duck Pond. The T-wolves are locked into a long-term lease that is pretty air-tight. I would guess that the Sonics and Hornets will "fight" for Oklahoma City. Shortly thereafter, the NBA will announce expansion into KC, St. Louis, Las Vegas, Buffalo, Columbus and Tampa Bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclopsis Joe Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 The Hawks have what I call "The Anti-Indianapolis Colts" problem. Unlike the Colts, who are good enough that the city of Indianapolis would bend over backwards to keep them, no city in the world wants the Hawks.

Get rid of Charlotte, Memphis, and New Orleans.And no one would even notice. Throw either the Magic or the Hawks in the pool to give a nice round number of teams to lop off, and the dispersal draft would be a great event.Jesus, expansion has been the death knell for both the NFL and the NHL.

FiddySicks Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Kings have a good shot, and nobody would really miss em.
