Warren2ThaG Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 To me those 2 cities should be considered first... I mean how long will OKC stay in the North West division? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 I don't even know if basketball is popular in Western Canada. That is where all the Hockey teams have sell outs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamerGuy Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Las Vegas would probably get a team before Seattle did. They really blew it with the Sonics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWaLL Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 I don't think that's a big enough deal to be thinking about right now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moeroadkill Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 okc is a exciting young team with loads of potential unless they somehow turn to poo and stop selling tickets (we have sold out i think 4/5 times this season) within the next few years then they would be moved. grizz and kings if anything would be moved before thunder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainGreenGanja Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Not a big deal? I bet it would be a big deal if you were from Seattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted November 17, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Not a big deal? I bet it would be a big deal if you were from Seattle.I'm guessing you are? Yeah, I mean...I'm sure there are a lot of Seattle fans disappointed, especially at the way things turned out. My problem with that is the fact that MOST of the fans in Seattle have to hang that on themselves. Attendance dropped quite a bit, and despite getting Durant, nothing really ever improved. The city set their roadblocks as well. Oklahoma City was the best suitor for an NBA team. Having to go there at least every month or two, I can see how well they are taking it in, and OKC is expanding QUICKLY. I haven't seen an area expand that fast, and I'd say from Tulsa to Oklahoma City, they are doing very, very well. Tulsa just snagged a WNBA team, in fact...and about two years ago, having that happen would be pretty unlikely. Moving these teams to the middle of the country is only promoting the league better. Seattle wasn't taking the Sonics in with open arms anymore, and I ran across many people a few years back that said they were sick and tired of watching basketball. That's pretty bad, to say the least. But there's going to be a team waiting in the wings for Seattle...I just can't say it'll be soon, though. And Vancouver? I'm not sure that's going to happen. I could see Kansas City raking in a team before Vancouver, and Vegas has a good shot at one, also, if Stern isn't too worried about the gambling.

CaptainGreenGanja Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Thanks lol Yea I see what you're saying but I guess it sucks when your team is finally starting to rebuild and you see nothing but a promising future for the team then you lose them. The Sonics fans gave up because we had no youth and no hope. Then we finally get Durant and Green and I was very excited then I found out we were losing them and we drafted Westbrook which was cool. Then this year we nab Harden and Mullens. Nothing but a promising future if you ask me. Fans from Seattle love their football, just don't see why we couldn't support the basketball as much.

Owner Real Deal Posted November 17, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Fans from Seattle love their football, just don't see why we couldn't support the basketball as much.Yeah, that's a bit odd, because even when Allen and Shard were carrying the load for that 50+ win Sonics team, the attendance was down, and the excitement just wasn't there. I think everyone lost a piece of their Sonics when Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton took off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainGreenGanja Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Vin Baker, Detlef Schrempf and Hersey Hawkins were also fan favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
