    I hope it's Memphis or New Orleans but If I had to bet it will be the Kings.

    I guess it all comes down to whether or not the Maloofs can get financing for a new arena in Sacto -- that is, public financing. I'd love to see the Grizzlies move because they have shitty fan support even with a decent young team and nice barn to play in, but knowing the NBA it will be a long suffering fan-base like Sacramento who has an even more exciting, young up and coming team that will get robbed.

    NBA players already going broke, can you imagine if they actually lived in Vegas.

    Maybe it is the Miami Heat! I would almost have to laugh at Heat fans if that happened. Although, no way in hell it does happen.

    That sounds like a pile of lies to get voters to fund an arena.

    How could a team already have a contract that they MUST play in Vegas if an arena is built?

    Who exactly would that contract be with? Not the Arena.

    Absolute bollocks.

    Crooks trying to get vote through.

    LV comes up with the bribe, Stern will come up with a team.

    Keep in mind, it was the LV sports book that caught on to Donaghy. I wonder how many other names they have in reserve, if Stern welshes on the deal.

    I agree with that for shizzle.

    It will happen with an arena. I just think the "a team already has a contract" part is bullshizzle ma nizz.

    Holy Shit.....I just looked up the Delta Dome. I had no idea that Portland was that close to getting the Oakland Raiders. That would have completely changed Portland in every way, especially from a business aspect.

    Do you think anyone on here is actually old enough to have been able to even vote on that?

    It would be awesome. Oliver Miller would come out of retirement just for the buffets.
