Seattle and LV make the most sense, and it's all you need. That'll give it a perfectly even 32 teams. 2 conferences of 16, 4 divisions of 4 in each conference. You can still do the Play-In with the bottom 2 conference winners and then the 9th/10th seed.

@@elliotness11I think you're underestimating the locals and not considering the impact of potential success. Just look at the Golden Knights in the NHL, they've made the playoffs in six of their seven years of existence including two trips to the finals and a championship last year. The result? Their average attendance numbers have yet to dip under 18000 in an arena that maxes out at 17500 for a hockey game, so just imagine what an even remotely competitive NBA team could do...
Past expansion teams: Charlotte, Miami, Minn, Orlando, Tor, Memphis, and NO. Most of those team ended up have very good seasons since they got brought in.
ima be a lil biased but we need a team back here in vancouver man, put one in seattle too and shit that’s an easy way to grow the game in the PNW. seattles a 2 hour drive and i can guarantee that you gon have people from both sides making the journey to catch games, not to mention the potential in playoff rivalry would be huge. lotta these other cities make sense tho, but shit it’d be nice to have a team back here.
no...Pittburgh is a 3 sport town as it is...they wont be able to support 4 teams. It's not a destination like that. If thats the case, then Cleveland which is 2 hours away, deserves a hockey team and Cleveland metro is larger
I think a Seattle and Las Vegas teams will be good for the league the support for those teams will go crazy regardless of the situation and they will have the bread to get these players to these team
Las Vegas doesn't make sense for an expansion team. It makes sense as the NBA headquarters. Every team is invited have all the major events take place there. A second Draft combine, draft, summer league, In season tournament, allow the team that won the NBA championship a free after party trip, and option to have world class training camp. Allow players to have access to the facilities during the summer, setup their own runs there. There is so much more you can do with Vegas, without having a team there.
The point of expansion is increasing league revenue. Vegas pro teams (Raiders, Golden Knights) have had some insane revenue growth since starting out there. It’s proven to be a great sports market that generates some serious cash. The NBA has more to gain from expansion to Vegas rather than use it as a utility city. The whole point of hosting summer league and in season tournaments games there is a demo to see how much interest there is in basketball in the Vegas market.
I think soccer has the best league setup for sports to work long term. Based off of performance you can be relegated to lower leagues or promoted to higher leagues. It forces owners to invest in better management if they want to stay in the top leagues, which they typically do since owning a professional team is a vanity project.
I love the convo topic at the end there; Kenyon is right - whomever it is that goes to Vegas (and I mean somebody BIG) they are going to make SO much money and in such a unique powerful position. The First Basketball Star of "Vegas". Could be pretty epic.
Kansas City shouldn’t have never lost their team so they deserve to another chance to have a NBA team. If they do they’ll play in the East with the Bulls and Timberwolves.
@@anthonytavarez9593 😂😂That’s true but what he was getting at was that because they are NBA players and they are in the spotlight they’re not necessarily “regular civilians”
Itll add about 30 players depending on how many are added from expansion draft to each team, then those players have to be replaced on their current teams and fill out the expansion rosters. That includes players coming in from regular draft . It will provide some players who are actually pretty good a chance to play and shine, ala Gerald Wallace, but also some players that currently may not be able to play at the NBA level for the first few years.
Nah you only have to move one to the east. If you moved two then the west would stay at 15 teams whereas the east would have 17. If you move either Memphis or Minnesota while West gets Seattle and LV, then both conferences effectively add one team
Either way it’s Memphis. I appreciate geographical accuracy. I hate Memphis being associated with west or Midwest. We the mfn SOUTH! So Memphis should be in the eastern conference when you split the nation in the center
Seattle, Las Vegas, San Diego, Tampa, Austin, Virginia Beach, New Jersey, Nashville, Pittsburgh, Kansas, Saint Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati... you could create a 42 team league and let everybody play each other twice to get your 82 game season 🫡
That's too many teams... The league is already kind of watered down as it is. You add more teams, you create more load management issues, and then you got to deal with more travel and all of that. Just add the two new teams and that's it. 32 NBA teams is good enough
Sad to hear about the Town going bankrupt. As little kids we used to dribble in the streets at night. The arena lights would shine through the Bart station railing and keep everything lit. On a good night we got fireworkss from the arena. I went back as an adult recently and saw homeless and trash everywhere for miles all the way to Berkeley. It's like the city was raped and abandoned. Crime was always there but not like it is now. It's like a hopeless vibe with all the businesses leaving.

Everyone loved coming to Vancouver. Just was a shitty franchise to play for during that brief time. Vancouver deserves a team again + there’s an established fanbase there. Add Seattle & Vancouver would make a great rivalry. Plus them and Portland are all down the I-5. Gil @ 1:38 😂😂😂
I know this might be a stretch but as a Baltimore native I pray for the day we get a pro team back. People always tell me “ya’ll have the Wizards”. It’s not the same. This city/state has a strong history of basketball talent and sending them to the league.
As a vegas native I've always felt the kings should come. Theyre a franchise that needs a breakthrough popularity wise, they wouldnt have enough fans to result in uproar, theres already 3 other teams in california, and kings just really fits the vegas culture as both a name and brand.
Same here and hell naw. Tired of stealing teams with already established fanbases from cali. Vegas needs it own team. Vegas already shown it has fans who’ll hold down their team with the aces and knights. We damn sure gonna hold down an nba team from the ground up too. No more having other teams
@@stevonecapone7958 kings was never yours In the first place kings started in Rochester NY so if anything kings was stolen Rochester NY to Ohio, Kansas , to Sacramento
I strongly and respectfully disagree. Too many problems to clean up before thinking of bringing another franchise in. We good with baseball and Football, let's not get carried away.
G league and free agent pool is how your going to have to build in order to see return on investment. That is what the investors per say would have to understand before committing
@@TooMuchScreenTimeFFS it would depend on what the NBA and the owners negotiate and agree upon. There must be some language within the CBA that at a minimum sets out guidelines and rules. It may look similar to previous expansions of the NBA or more similar to MLB / NHL expansion. Some of this will also depend on WHEN they actually expand, what cities are selected, and which free agents are available outright. It’s looking like a lock for Vegas and probably Seattle. The NBA is definitely going to want at least two big name stars to join both. You also want free agents the following couple years after so those teams have a chance to make a huge splash and grow viewership.

Pittsburgh & St Louis needs a team
Columbus Pilgrims
Cincinnati
Lexington
Huntsville Astros
Tampa
If Memphis has a team it’s kinda wild St Louis doesn’t, just putting that out there.
Everyone loved coming to Vancouver. Just was a shitty franchise to play for during that brief time.
Vancouver deserves a team again + there’s an established fanbase there.
Add Seattle & Vancouver would make a great rivalry. Plus them and Portland are all down the I-5.
Gil @ 1:38 😂😂😂
“Like we a civilian” bro you ARE a civilian lol
That’s why you can’t feel bad when something happens to one of em. Mfs feel like they above everybody else
Right 😂
13:43 damn where did Rashad get these bars from lol
I know this might be a stretch but as a Baltimore native I pray for the day we get a pro team back. People always tell me “ya’ll have the Wizards”. It’s not the same. This city/state has a strong history of basketball talent and sending them to the league.
I love hearing people shout out my city. Louisville 502!!
As a vegas native I've always felt the kings should come. Theyre a franchise that needs a breakthrough popularity wise, they wouldnt have enough fans to result in uproar, theres already 3 other teams in california, and kings just really fits the vegas culture as both a name and brand.
If Sacramento lost the kings they would have nothing
@@chancedepass3722 while true, its just always been a thought
Same here and hell naw. Tired of stealing teams with already established fanbases from cali. Vegas needs it own team. Vegas already shown it has fans who’ll hold down their team with the aces and knights. We damn sure gonna hold down an nba team from the ground up too. No more having other teams
McCants remembers Seattle so well because of the "work." Double & triples off the court. Definitely didn't need to double or triple ON the court.
Seattle and Kansas City
Nobody wants a team in Kansas City
@@sheldonstrong895yes we do they stole the Sacramento Kings from us in the 80s
@@stevonecapone7958 kings was never yours In the first place kings started in Rochester NY so if anything kings was stolen Rochester NY to Ohio, Kansas , to Sacramento
Could Kansas City or St Louis do well with nba teams?
One of those cities in Missouri would do well with a NBA team. If I had to choose I would go with KC.
We need a team in Baltimore!!
Poor community there’s no way!
Baltimore has to clean up the city a bit first.
@@4olojonesnot a bit, them niggas need street sweepers 24/7 for 5 yrs str8 to get clean.
I strongly and respectfully disagree. Too many problems to clean up before thinking of bringing another franchise in. We good with baseball and Football, let's not get carried away.
It’s too black
Tampa, Vegas, Seattle, Jacksonville, Nashville, Pittsburgh, Austin Texas, Buffalo, Saint Lewis would be good expansions
San Diego
Seattle Sonics Time For NBA
G league and free agent pool is how your going to have to build in order to see return on investment. That is what the investors per say would have to understand before committing
it’s called an Expansion Draft fellas
What does that actually mean in practice? The team gets to draft 10+ players from the draft or how does it work?
@@TooMuchScreenTimeFFSall team protect 8 players that’s on contracts and the rest is up for grabs to be drafted
@@TooMuchScreenTimeFFS it would depend on what the NBA and the owners negotiate and agree upon. There must be some language within the CBA that at a minimum sets out guidelines and rules. It may look similar to previous expansions of the NBA or more similar to MLB / NHL expansion. Some of this will also depend on WHEN they actually expand, what cities are selected, and which free agents are available outright. It’s looking like a lock for Vegas and probably Seattle. The NBA is definitely going to want at least two big name stars to join both. You also want free agents the following couple years after so those teams have a chance to make a huge splash and grow viewership.
St. Louis needs an NBA team again
They have great fan support just look at the cardinals and blues.
@@bilic8094 yup they do and very passionate about them
Vegas Seattle Kansas City Tampa
i need to see the equivalent of this conversation like 50 sum years ago when the first expansion happened
Vegas, Nashville, KC, STL, Seattle
Pittsburgh
Nashville 🎉
San Diego
Louisville
I don’t think Tennessee big enough to have 2 teams
Virginia Beach or Richmond, VA. We need a team out here!
Juarez, Mexico is what McCants is talking about
Bruh 😂😂😂😂 6:43 this nigga RM got me rolling
Aye chillout with y’all saying move the grizzlies to Nashville no tf they don’t
8 divisions. Eastern 1: Detroit; Minnesota; Milwaukee; Chicago. Eastern 2: Washington; Indiana; Philly; Cleveland. Eastern 3: New York; Toronto; Boston; Brooklyn. Eastern 4: Charlotte; Orlando; Atlanta; Miami Then, out west Western 1: Seattle; Golden St; Sacramento; Portland. Western 2: LA Clippers; Phoenix; LA Lakers; Las Vegas. Western 3: OKC; Memphis; Denver; Utah. Western 4: Dallas; NO; San Antonio; Houston
Mexico City already has a GLeague Team so that makes sense
Thank you for inspiring my idea and your welcome for not having comments disabled
Lv for sure I say Seattle too
They talking about not being able to bring medicinal like Vancouver weed isn't crazy lol
Mexico bout to be the new Washington Wizards, NBA wasteland
😂💯
Baby mommas and lottery picks 😮
We dont have a choice tho, Cartel took over their gov and they want hoopers
@Laco591 bro mexico belongs to the cartel.. where have you been? They erase politicians who dont help their agenda.. just look up Mexicos Political assassins in the past 20 years.. now they tell our politicians what to do, there is no “Mexican Government”
@Laco591 they got so deep into the government that if you arent cartel approved, you cant get a government contract.. money laundering circle been compounding for years and US isnt allowed to consider it terrorism because it doesn’t further an “ideology” as the purpose of the crimes
1:29 you put Memphis and Minnesota in the East and they have a better chance at a Ring
St. Louis needs a team
Nigga fucc no 😂😂😂😂
Facts
STL is raggedy 😂
The st louis spirits to be exact
Nah. St. Louis is a small city that cant keep anything
Kansas City or St. Louis would be perfect for expansion. No competition in their media market.
Either one is cool but if I had to choose I would go with KC
American sports need to adopt promotion relagation format like european soccer
San Diego we building a new complex too so hell yes San Diego it's not to Small it too much lol
Finally getting a fresh new arena
@@dreamcage1801 yes we are 2025 I'm all up in there when they finished that
@@ceriousblacc3216 finished in 2028
@@dreamcage1801 I can't Wait let's go been living in San Diego 42 year's all my life

Pittsburgh has been wanting a team for a long time
No doubt
Facts and we got talent and our city will be perfect
If you were going to add an east coast team, Pittsburgh makes sense.
@@kinglyone7172Kansas City
@@kinglyone7172 in the east with cavs and pacers
I think now is a perfect time for expansion because there's a changing of the guard going on right now anyway 12:20
Kentucky!!!!!!!!! STLou !!!!!! Baltimore !!!!!!!!
Vegas
Seattle & Vegas make sense 🤔👍
Memphis in the East is a GUARANTEED FINALS APPEARANCE #GrizzNation
Kenyon tripping about moving the Grizz to Nashville
Nashville a much better city than that Memphis
@@irvingzeistman9828keep them in Memphis and call them the Tennessee Grizzlies
Only if Ja remembers he is not a gangsta or tough guy. He is a skinny, undersized, lightening quick, explosive finisher
Nashville is not a basketball city at all, @@irvingzeistman9828
