    It's like going from Skid Row to Beverly Hills.

    Vantucky to the Pearl Distict.

    Great move by the Warriors.

    I like that. I hope they go back to the name "San Francisco Warriors" too.

    Maybe their consultant Jerry West can climb out on the middle of Golden Gate Bridge and talk Wilt Chamberlain into making a comeback.

    Man, if Vancouver is seen as Kentucky, Klamath Falls must seem like Ethiopia to you Northern Oregonians.

    Not so sure it is a good move. They have great fan base in the east bay. People who live in the "city" are not your typical NBA fan. The place will not be as loud that is for sure.

    Or worse, West Virginia.

    I did my time in Klamath (1982-1989)... formative years (kindergarten through sixth grade). I knew Trevor Darrah well (he of the memorial soccer field at KU). If I never have to go back, I will die a happy man.

    I was born, and lived for 21 years, in Myrtle Creek. So, yeah....... I am not judging.

    Golden State is so vague, are they a hit of acid or a rival to Sunny D? My name suggestion is the Golden Gate Warriors to be Bay Area inclusive. Regardless, great move for them

    Fine, if they don't mind losing their fan base. But the way they play, that probably isn't an issue.

    East Vantucky is a lot nicer than most of Portland. IMO

    for a shitty a place as oakland is, it's extremely easy to get to that area. the BART drops you off at the front door of the sports complex down there. meanwhile getting in and out of SF is a nightmare. When I've gone to giants games it's a mess. maybe this new location will be better traffic wise but i highly doubt it.

    How far is Oakland from SF? Where do G.State players live now? Are there nice parts of Oakland?

    Oakland & SF are separated by the Bay - actual distance, not far, but getting across you need Bay Bridge (bad traffic) bus (takes forever) or BART (quick but doesn't go everywhere).

    There are a lot of nice parts of Oakland. It has an undeserved rep. Vibrant diverse city. There was a great video, Rebels of the 70s, the A's, the Raiders and Oakland - puts a lot in context and also makes clear why Oakland fans won't follow teams that leave.
