San Diego Is 8th most popluated US city and should an NBA team back in it. Former home of the Now Houston Rockets and LA Clippers, San Diego should re-capture NBA glory by bringing the Storm back Home.  (see more)

The Vacouver Sting!
Since Canada has only one NBA team (Raptors) which is located in the East, it is only appropriate to create one in the West. That way most canadians in the west will go and watch their games. Making a more profit than if it is to be created in the U.S. since they have more teams (29 to be specific)
Therefore an expansion in Canada would be a smart business decision.  (see more)

It was unfair to the fans of the Seattle SuperSonics to move their team to Oklahoma City which is not much of an improvement. To make it up to them the NBA should make a new team for Seattle, something named much better than Oklahoma City Thunder. Their new team should be called, "The Seattle Skyforce" then they could forget all about their past home team and look forward to a new franchise. (see more)

There should be no new NBA franchises until Seattle gets some version of the SuperSonics back. Period.
It's a crime that the franchise was moved in the first place.
Even worse that franchise player Kevin Durant is playing so brilliantly on offense right now.
Save Our Sonics, man. Bring 'em back to Seattle.
It's what Jesus would want.  (see more)

They have to make an NBA-league in Europe. There are enough fans here, and the amount is growing. If they have an NBA-Europe and the normal NBA they can get together in a worldwide playoff place with NBA-Asia, NBA-Australia, NBA-Africa and so on. London, Paris, Barcelona and Rome are the big city's in Europe that could get one. And I'd call them flyers cause they have to fly over the ocean to play the standard NBA (see more)

Because the Nets are about to abandon NJ and flee with Jay-Z and LeBron to Brooklyn, NJ will need another team.

City: Newark (cuz it really needs something positive for once)
Name: Turnpikes
Mascot: Tony Soprano look-alike

We might not be champs, but we'll beat the crap outta any teams that cross us. Think Bad Boyz of Jersey. Exit 15W babyyyy! (see more)

The NBA could bring the Flint Tropics back from the ABA and move them to Tampa.Think about it.The movie semi-pro was based on them, so attendence would be through the roof!California has 4 NBA franhcises, so why not give Florida 3?If they didn't want to give Tampa the tropics, maybe the could be the rollers or the smokers, because Tampa used to house a cuban cigar factory and is rich in cuban hitsory. (see more)

I think Canada needs more NBA teams than only Toronto Raptors.
In my opinion best name for basketball team is shooters.
It can be, for example, Ottawa Shooters. (see more)

Kansas City won't support another bad sports franchise, but St. Louis would sell out most every night.

I'm not in love with that name, though. (see more)

It's kinda funny that you're using a name of a WNBA team from a city that lost its NBA team.

re: Seattle Skyforce
If Seattle gets a team back, they'll use Supersonics. That was one condition of the move - that Oklahoma can't use that name.

I lived in Vancouver when the Grizzlies were in town. It would be nice if they can come back but I don't think "Sting" would be a good name since it's a name of a WNBA team.
