Yeah NY needs another team, isn't that why Buffalo Braves are now the Clippers.

KC Omaha has a Arena ready to go also, St Louis possibly in that general area could if negotiated use that if they have something in the works.

Did I read here that NBA officials we're scoping Omaha?

Maybe it was from Simmons...but Omaha makes alot of sense in the NBA model.

Right, cause Cali needs a dozen teams. Upstate has nothing. Syracuse would serve as a beacon of hope for every citizen north of the Hudson.

C'mon, like you wouldn't buy a Syracuse Chill jersey. Pfft

Please tell me nobody is stupid enough to think that both teams must be in the late S's/early T's based on their placement. They're in alphabetical order and the TBD TBD is lined up where it should be...ya know....based on the alphabet.

Not sure at whom that comment was directed, but I'll assume that it's me since I'm the only one that made what was a fairly obvious tongue-in-cheek comment simply for the sake of being an ass. Please tell me nobody is stupid enough to think that it was serious. Oh wait, it's far too late for several of you. I'm not mad, though.

I'm totally for real about 'Cuse, tho. We Upstaters need more than the Bills and Sabres in our local sports lives.

Well then you could hang Dave Twarsik's Jersey again, can't for sure remember his spelling, Elgin Baylor played for the Braves also if memory serves.

Maybe Hansen has been told expansion has been coming, but I'll tell you that ESPN has not been told by the NBA "hey, we're expanding, we just wanted to let you know so you could get your mobile app ready ASAP, just don't tell anybody."

That whole thing is meaningless.

Lol, yeah. If it were on the NBA website, however, that would be another thing.

Pretty much, but it was fun to dream for first 5 minutes then you realize it's probably just a screw up on ESPN

Stern says the $30M deposit is "non-refundable"

It always was, more so the Maloofs couldn't back out. That doesn't change the fact that Stern is an absolute worthless human being. I really wish Hansen would have nuked it. I wanted Stern's final year to be as miserable as possible.

Yeah, I wish Hansen got a little dirty and made Stern deal with a lawsuit in his last year.

The fact that he hasn't is the main reason I think we have been promised an expansion team.....*sigh*

I saw some tweets today from the sonics rising guys that they are talking expansion for Seattle. Obviously this is the reason we backed down and didn't fight harder for the kings. A team is coming our way in the next year to two. Book it.

Lots and lots of talk about the Coyotes coming to Seattle today. Obviously there are problems with our arena situation, as the Key is not ideal, but still, seems like the NHL is open to just going ahead with it.

And then this:

Sonics Arena ‏@sonicsarena 12m
Back to work.
