Regardless, it wouldn't make sense to have Memphis, in the heart of the deep south, in the same division as the Utah Jazz.
True. I guess divisions don't really matter though, and Conferences do. It's just always bugged me that Memphis has been in the Western Conference. In our most competitive years (including this year), I've always felt like we could dominate the Eastern Conference, but we're always stuck in that #3-6 area in the West. Portland... ya'll are definitely in the West, but for cities like Memphis, we're borderline, and we're on the east of the delta. I just hate how teams like Philly from last season get so much praise for beating up such scrubby opponents on the regular, when the Grizz (and Blazers) have to fight night in and night out against better teams.
That's F'ED up. Leave a passionate fanbase iin California's capital city for Virgina Beach, a resort town?!? Sign of the times I guess.
The Virginia Beach saga continues to entertain, are the Maloofs worse than Donald Sterling now? http://www.sactownroyalty.com/2013/...yor-monday-deadline-maloofs-comcast-lease-ftm
Seattle is so freaking obvious. Stern regrets moving out of Vancouver and I think he'll have the same regret if he passes on Seattle. OKC is a fraction of the size of Seattle (and half the size of Portland), Virginia Beach is also MUCH smaller than Seattle. I don't get this logic with the Maloofs and Stern.
I predict the Kings will be playing in Seattle next fall. The Maloofs will sell the team to somebody up there....... they will play in Key Arena for 2 seasons while they build the new arena. Done deal!
