Las Vegas & Seattle would great to see NBA in for the 1st time / to make a return for them IMO but I do think that they should be at 32 teams by the end of the current decade
Bring the NBA back to Seattle, Vancouver, Las Vegas, and Pittsburgh (if not Pittsburgh-Kansas City instead). Move New Orleans, Memphis, and Minnesota while including Pittsburgh or Kansas City to the Eastern Conference to balance both conferences out. Everyone is happy
Two easy choices that’ll happen in the near future. 1.) Seattle 2.) Vancouver Both great basketball markets that the NBA has since regretted abandoning.
@@rushrush1209 granted with the Climate Pledge Arena (old key arena) being fully renovated right to the studs makes Seattle very viable for a team soon! However them both being in the PNW makes a case for Vancouver to be back in the NBA a lot MORE compelling. One of the main reasons for that is if you take a look at the map of all NBA franchises/ locations you’ll notice there’s a huge gap of only the Portland franchise in a large area (nearly a 1/4 of the entire NBA map) By having both Seattle and Vancouver back in the NBA again not only do you re create a terrific Cascade rivalry (which is great for the league) but now a city like Portland becomes a lot more enticing with signing key free agents which is something that market in particular has struggled with as they have by far the most travel on any NBA team. Two teams with already established fanbases in proximity to Portland would drastically cut the travel down. Vancouver and Seattle both have either brand new or a top 10 stadium in capacity, both stadiums are immediately ready to play in, both have great transit accessibility getting to their respective stadiums, both cities have a high density population (especially Vancouver) and both cities have really high GDP’s. Keep in mind both cities have large corporations and potential sponsorships that are both headquartered in their respective cities with alot of high end wealth for stable ownership. Realistically for that, and for many other reasons I CANT SEE how the NBA is going to pass up on Seattle and Vancouver. Also commissioner Silver and the late David Stern have had a lot of regret the NBA abandoning those markets (you can even find silver talking about the regret on pulling the plug on Vancouver) both cities should be no brainers for the league if it’s trying to maximize its popularity and revenue.
Tbh 2 teams is not enough imo, I think they need to expand to 4, Vegas and Seattle for sure have to be 2 and I think Montreal and Kansas should be the other 2
You could still have the voting and the normal all stars named. Just have the actual game as USA v World with separate squads announced. If it doesn't work and players still don't try, who cares. It can't be any worse than what it is at the moment.
If NBA wants to be global I hope someday NBA will expand outside north america, 4 cities in europe(Madrid,Barcelona,Paris,Berlin) 4 cities in Asia Oceania (Tokyo,Seoul,Manila,Melbourne)
@@StarboundUK NBA players are the cream of the top of worldclass athletes. Those things will not bother them,, game schedules because of the travel i think might be the main problem unless they make the games fewer or make the season longer
I wonder who does their projected market research. Cuz the ideal marketed to tap into are 1) Seattle Of course 2) Las Vegas 3) New Mexico 4) Vancouver C 5) Wisconsin 6) Kansas 7) Maine 8) St Louis Idk maybe Buffalo as well It’s tough cuz you don’t want to go into markets where it might be flooded and then water down the product Cuz I feel like Minnesota can add another team but down b Rochester idk
I understand that every major sport has a Toronto team (-NFL) but can someone please explain to me how it is called The National Basketball Association yet allowing a team of the United States of America? I'm not getting all "America" on anyone, it's a legit question I've always wondered and I'm 42.
If 2 western teams join only 1 western team needs to move west to keep 16-16 and most likely Minnesota as it's in the middle of nowhere among western cities so joining Chicago, and Indianapolis in the central Division makes the most sense. Memphis is already close to Texas and New Orleans,
Option 1) Add Las Vegas and one team from Canada (Vancouver?) or Canada (Mexico City) Option 2) Add Las Vegas and Kansas City And move the Pelicans and Grizzlies to the Eastern Conference.
Make the Charles Barkley Phoenix Suns playoffs run, up until Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls available on NBA subscription. Watching playoff replays games from the last 10 years where teams are just jacking up 3s thinking they are Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. Are just too boring basketball to watch in todays cupcake era basketball.
I recently thought of a great idea for the all-star game. Just keep it east vs. west, but stop with the vote system. Just have the 2 best players from each team, and the starting lineup could be determined by who is on winning teams
Im not even feeling basketball divisions. I don't like east vs west. I like football two conferences with two east and west and south and norths. Like republican and democrat. Basketball seem incomplete plus they don't play above the rim no more no more dribbling plus fake fouls all over and they jus chuck shots. Too many internationals dominating. I use to like basketball more than football not no more. And baseball too is horrible now baseball need steroids and a real south division no love in the south with baseball blacks cant be in baseball and no south love.
Adam silver is a Deutsche who loves ❤️ people who are younger than me. Adam silver, do you only love 1990 birthdays? THAT BETTER BE YES! Society is never supposed to be intimidated by you.

Would love to see Vancouver and Seattle back!
I wanna see San Diego, Kansas City, Montreal and Pittsburgh get a team
Las Vegas & Seattle would great to see NBA in for the 1st time / to make a return for them IMO but I do think that they should be at 32 teams by the end of the current decade
I had the exact same cities in mind
Facts. Seattle Super Sonics, Las Vegas Cobras, move pelicans and grizzled to the east
Owlhoots would be a cool name for the LV team
@@virtuallifter2438 Pels could move as well.. All 3 of them are East of the Mississisiisisipppiiiesssippiiii
Bring the NBA back to Seattle, Vancouver, Las Vegas, and Pittsburgh (if not Pittsburgh-Kansas City instead). Move New Orleans, Memphis, and Minnesota while including Pittsburgh or Kansas City to the Eastern Conference to balance both conferences out. Everyone is happy
What about Louisville?
St. Louis?
GIVE SEATTLE OUR TEAM BACK!!!
Thank antifa for that 😂😂
@@Vibezz92 I blame starbucks
HECK YES
Two easy choices that’ll happen in the near future.
1.) Seattle
2.) Vancouver
Both great basketball markets that the NBA has since regretted abandoning.
I don't think both will get a team, since they are both real close geographically. Seattle has a new arena, so they have a great chance.
@@rushrush1209 granted with the Climate Pledge Arena (old key arena) being fully renovated right to the studs makes Seattle very viable for a team soon!

Seattle Super Sonics and Las Vegas Cobras make their debut while they move pelicans or grizzles to the east
We don't want either of em lol
You can only move pelicans or Memphis. The numbers would be off if you did it that way.
@@Esposo77 add 2 teams to the west. Move 2 teams to the east. It adds up
@@tmac731 haha you know math my guy? Lol
@@Esposo77 my bad you move one of them lol
Puerto Rico should get a chance to get one, we love basketball along with baseball and boxing, it would also help the local economy greatly.
*WHERE MY SEATTLEITES @*
Need my Seattle Supersonics back, thanks
Seattle and Vancouver! Yes please!
Seattle and Vegas expansion and then a team relocating to Vancouver.
Can’t wait for the Las Vegas LeBrons
Seattle, Las Vegas, Mexico City and Montreal Canada are coming soon
San Diego, Kansas City
Vegas, Seattle, Pittsburgh, KC, San Diego would be good cities
Don't forget Louisville too bub
Las Vegas Dealers
Seattle SuperSonics
Pittsburgh Pipers
Kansas City Reign
San Diego Sails
Kentucky Colonels
@@dreamcage1801 Las Vegas Dealers?
Kentucky Colonials? 😂🤦
@@jaydurant3048 sounds about right to me because it was Kentucky a a team name
Besides Seattle and Vegas, Kansas city or Louisville could get an NBA team too.
Time to put a team in San Diego again
International vs US would be dope
Tbh 2 teams is not enough imo, I think they need to expand to 4, Vegas and Seattle for sure have to be 2 and I think Montreal and Kansas should be the other 2
Pittsburgh has been in consideration too I heard yesterday
San Diego and Louisville also too
St. Louis definitely needs a team 🙏
Bring back THE SONICS!!!
You could still have the voting and the normal all stars named. Just have the actual game as USA v World with separate squads announced.
If it doesn't work and players still don't try, who cares. It can't be any worse than what it is at the moment.
it’s going to be the exact same thing we already have except you’re making it longer
WHERE CAN I GET FULL INTERVIEW
Like Wilbon's idea for all star weekend 👍🏀🇬🇧
Supersonics should be back
If NBA wants to be global I hope someday NBA will expand outside north america, 4 cities in europe(Madrid,Barcelona,Paris,Berlin) 4 cities in Asia Oceania (Tokyo,Seoul,Manila,Melbourne)
The travel would be onerous in players outside of US based timezones
@@StarboundUK NBA players are the cream of the top of worldclass athletes. Those things will not bother them,, game schedules because of
the travel i think might be the main problem unless they make the games fewer or make the season longer
Maybe as a tournament but not as part of the NBA
All those places already have teams ie Real Madrid in Spain’s league and euroleague and Melbourne United in the NBL.
@@donlon2579 You're beyond dumb. Get off the crack, kid.
Cancel the all star completely, no one plays hard anyway and start the season one month earlier so there would be no back to backs.
They are waiting for LeBron to retire so he can be a minority with the vegas nba team
Facts
Bring a team back to Vancouver 🔥🔥🔥
Don’t bring back old teams please. It’s time Kentucky, Alabama, Baltimore, etc to get a shot.
Omaha
Wow!
Memphis isn’t in the west by the way
Neither is MINN or NO.. any two of these 3 can move to the Eastern Conference
Adam silver looks like a captain of a spaceship from Uranus
San diego
They deserve a third try
Can we get one in Virginia Beach?
they will Google nba expansion
I wonder who does their projected market research.
Cuz the ideal marketed to tap into are
1) Seattle Of course
2) Las Vegas
3) New Mexico
4) Vancouver C
5) Wisconsin
6) Kansas
7) Maine
8) St Louis
Idk maybe Buffalo as well
It’s tough cuz you don’t want to go into markets where it might be flooded and then water down the product
Cuz I feel like Minnesota can add another team but down b Rochester idk
What about San Diego
Montreal over Vancouver tbh
The Las Vegas Transients
silver looks like he hasn't slept
Ja Morant is stressing him out😂😂😂
With all these superteams it can even out the league
NBA expansion great idea 🤔🤔🤔
San Diego, Kansas City and Louisville deserve to have a nba team again besides Seattle and Vegas
Why create the divide, US vs International? What do we gain from that? Isn't that what FIBA and Olympics are for?
Mr. Silver's glasses are not up to his rhetorical standards.
The closest St.Louis is to getting a team is Kansas city. Go MO!!!
I understand that every major sport has a Toronto team (-NFL) but can someone please explain to me how it is called The National Basketball Association yet allowing a team of the United States of America? I'm not getting all "America" on anyone, it's a legit question I've always wondered and I'm 42.
Who was the last guy to win mvp that's from the u.s.,Harden?
Adam Silver Reminds me of Mr. Freeze from the Batman animated series 😅
😂
Vegas and Seattle wouldnt work because they're both west teams. unless they move some other teams to the east
Memphis and New Orleans should move east
Minnesota and Memphis makes more sense. The Pelicans are right next to Texas as the T-Wolves to Milwaukee. Ja’s gonna have to be fine in the East.
Actually only one team has to move since it 17-15. Memphis is literally the most Eastern team
I'm retiring like LJ not worthing global rich man slavery.
Vegas + Seattle are the obvious ones. Who else? Minnesota + Memphis move to the east.
Montreal and Kansas. I don’t think 2 teams is enough gotta expand to 4
If 2 western teams join only 1 western team needs to move west to keep 16-16 and most likely Minnesota as it's in the middle of nowhere among western cities so joining Chicago, and Indianapolis in the central Division makes the most sense. Memphis is already close to Texas and New Orleans,
I’d say the obvious choices are Seattle and Vancouver.
First things first….Bring Back Our Seattle SuperSonics!!!
Austin TX 😊
Bring a team to Pittsburgh we’ll give you the pirates
Six squads Vancouver, Seattle, Vegas, St. Louis, Pittsburgh (or Baltimore) and Kentucky
Solid list
A lot of shitty teams. Nah I’m good
2 is enough
Seattle and Vancouver should be the clear cut choices, but that’s still a solid list.
I think the Bronx ny needs their own team
😕I guess you’re not from nyc , the Yankees play in The Bronx
Option 1) Add Las Vegas and one team from Canada (Vancouver?) or Canada (Mexico City)
Option 2) Add Las Vegas and Kansas City
And move the Pelicans and Grizzlies to the Eastern Conference.
Make the Charles Barkley Phoenix Suns playoffs run, up until Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls available on NBA subscription.
Watching playoff replays games from the last 10 years where teams are just jacking up 3s thinking they are Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. Are just too boring basketball to watch in todays cupcake era basketball.
I think they have too many teams as it is. It's just 2 more sucky teams
Is that whoopie goldberg?
I recently thought of a great idea for the all-star game. Just keep it east vs. west, but stop with the vote system. Just have the 2 best players from each team, and the starting lineup could be determined by who is on winning teams
This is so dumb. U want 30 players on each team?
Louisville, Kentucky!
No one is even watching the finals , lowest ratings ever lol

No seattle plz
make another LA team
Adam silver acting like a real jew. He's worried about profit over culture.
