    I think out of all the places that deserve or need a NBA franchise it should be in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. No more teams down south or in the west. The city has a great fan base that would be perfect for a new team. Sure Philadelphia has a grip on the state but just look at the Eagles and Steelers. I think the city has the right fans to support a NBA franchise.

    I agree w/ Pittsburgh, but i think Oklahoma City. They've shown they can support a team. Also, St. Louis. Vancouver, Vegas.

    None, there's 30 teams in the league right now, why expand it. Unless one of these teams folds, ie. Seattle or moves, ie. Kings. I see no point.

    Baltimore, St. Louis, Pittsburgh and it would be cool to have Vancouver again, but that is my homer pick. But seriously, it is one of the most beautiful cities.

    Cincinatti, St Louis, Pittsburgh, Las Vegas and San Diego are my picks. They are all worthy of teams. It would be awesome to see another team in this league out of one of those big cities.

    I think the next city to get one will be Vegas because there have been a lot discussions about it. The all-star game in Vegas will determine if discussions continue about placing an NBA team there. Baltimore, Pittsburgh, St. Louis could be good locations but I don't think the NBA needs anymore teams. If anything it should be the NBDL they should consider expanding.

    Baltimore shouldn't get a team, it's right next to DC. Fort Worth already has NBDL, and it's right next to Dallas.Vegas might get some of the highest attendance. Alot people would go to the games, but they probably wouldn't have a very loyal fan base, as there aren't many locals.

    It would be nice to have a franchise in Pittsburgh or that area. Would only be a three in a half hour drive for me. Because I am not paying to go watch the Knicks get stomped on.
