I vote for the Mavs because Texas needn't them.Hell the Mavs. As long as there are already two great teams and one extremely great team in Texas, there is no need for another not so great team to exist here. Besides, the Mavs will have no chance to live in Texas where Spurs and Hornets will eat them up if they don't move away immediately, never to mention our Rockets. In terms of the Mavs interest, they'd better move to the northwestern devision where the competition is not so tough as here's. And we may aquire Jazz to our devision in exchange for Mavs, which is exactly what we want because we'll have more chances to let Jazz have a taste of our demolishing offence and lose away without even a pant.
Hornets Seattle deserves a winner. If we don't support another town getting royally screwed we can not whine about the Oilers.
The Clippers they SHARE an arena with the Lakers that has Magic Johnson's statue in front of it. Should have kept the Supersonics in Seattle and move the Clippers to Oklahoma City.
Mango is 100% correct. I just finished reading the Pistol Pete biography and Pete would have gone to NC State to play for his dad, but Maravich couldn't pass the SAT to get into State. Pete wanted to go to West Virginia (which didn't require the SAT at the time), but then Press jumped to LSU and that sealed it (LSU alsso didn't require the SAT at that time). Maravich did play for the New Orleans Jazz though. Even with Pete, the Jazz were having attendance problems so they came up with the idea of selling $5 seats in the Superdome. That helped them draw crowds, but they were still losing money since most of the fans were only paying $5. Once Pete blew out his knee, they couldn't even sell the $5 tickets anymore and the franchise moved.
Unless Seattle builds a new arena, Kansas City and possibly Pittsburgh will be ahead of them where new arenas will already be open (Sprint Center) or under construction (Pens arena). If the city of Sacremento doesnt geth their act together and complete a deal for a new arena, the Kings WILL be the answer to your question....if Seattle builds a new arena.
