    i thought about the criteria for voting off teams. it's not attendance or past history, it's the teams with the worst jerseys.

    -Phoenix
    -Utah
    -Sacramento

    It's just not right having to buy a whack looking replica jersey because your favorite player is on a team with an ugly uniform. These 3 teams have a lot of stars who deserve better looking jerseys so their fans can buy their jerseys with pride.

    TO almost sells out every home game even when they suck so there is no way they should be eliminated

    if TO sells out almost every game, then there is no way the league would contract them.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting "olskoolFunktitude":</div><div class="quote_post">rafer alston is nothing special. no one on the raptors is ecxept vince carter and his career is toast (at least compared to what was expected of him). I think Toronto would be eliminated based on the fact that theyd be an easy option being the only team outside of the country. They had a good year in attendance but as soon as the maple leasf become a real team agian canadians will dessert them for hockey as is their birthright as canadians.</div>

    You obviously know nothing about Toronto when you say they would dessert basketball, not only does everyone here like basketball aslwell as hockey, but corporate companies hold a percentage of the seats too, unless the fans want to buy them out. So as far as attendance goes for the raptors, they will almost always sell out. But your other points are strong about eliminating them, considering there out of the country.

    every year is a good year for attendance for raps games, yea a lot of the people that go to the games dont know a lot but they go and thats what matters....and the leafs are in the playoffs every year so if they happen to finally win another cup the raps attendance will not drop, the only valid point is u make is that Toronto is outside of the US but doesnt the league want to become more international? and TO is one of the most multi-cultural cities in north america so i think the Raps wont be going anywhere soon

    the nba is all about making money so the league would never get rid of them plus this year was one of our first losing seasons in a while

    WHOA! hold on a second. If they were going to eliminate teams based on worst jerseys than I think we can all agree the lakers would be the very first to go. those other teams have some purple in their uniforms true, but only the lakers are blatantly ignorant of style enough to have lakers that always include big portions of yellow AND purple

    no not really...Lakers could just wear their alternate home ones...just b/c it's purple don't mean it's ugly....look at the Celtics...their unis could use some redoing if u ask me....uniforms to me rn't based on colors

    lakers have one of the best uniforms IMO, not just because i'm a fan, but when you see purple and gold you associate it with easter or the LAKERS! those sunday whites are nice too. i think a little flash in the uniforms is good. i don't really like the all purple road jerseys, but i like the gold ones, and i like how they do their jersey numbers with the shadow block style.
