    Knicks no doubt... just a bad team that is no fun to watch and owes tons of picks...

    Most of the other teams being named can at least tank for wiggins/parker/randle/exum...

    New Orleans.

    With all of that talent, they can't put it together. Plus, that entire organization has an aura of corruption from the "Basketball Reasons" trade rejection and being previously owned by the league.

    Eric Gordon is the most overrated max-player I've ever watched and Anthony Davis isn't going to grow with the lack of developmental talent available to him. Monty Williams? C'mon son!

    The team seems to be stuck in mediocrity.

    I get watching Paul, but Hibbert is so damn slow. I know he works hard on his game, but a man of that size should be able to do more on the court.

    And that contract he got :eek: Not worth it.

    I don't know that I'd want any team if I were a Seattle fan. Ideally, the new Seattle franchise would be an expansion team. For the sake of argument, however, I suppose the team I'd want the least would be the Raptors. Their roster is littered with overpaid, one-dimensional players.

    An NBA Expansion team would be nice...one in Seattle and one in an Eastern Conference city.

    Maybe they'll get the Thunder back after Durant and Westbrook leave as free agents?

    Problem is there's a lack of talent to go around. Expansion waters down the talent pool.

    Plus, I have no idea where on the east coast they could put a team. Most eastern cities are shrinking or already have a team. Maybe a 2nd team in Chicago or a 3rd team in NY, and even those would be a stretch. Especially because most expansion teams go to "up and coming" areas (like Florida in the '90s). Or some 4th tier city like Birmingham decides to be fiscally irresponsible and take in a team (then have it relocate).

    No, if they do expand (and they likely won't in the near future) they should bring back teams in Seattle and Vancouver (the Grizzlies were poorly managed and the city was robbed by the owner. I'm convinced they could have sold really well in Vancouver, basketball's still pretty big there) and then move New Orleans or Minnesota to the Eastern conference.

    Denver needs to be sold in the next cpl years (due to NFL requirement), so that might be next on the list...

    Care to wager a bet for the tip jar?

    I think our very own Dwight has a better chance.
