In this video, we’re talking about 5 destinations for NBA Expansion. It’s been 20 years since the NBA had expanded and added new teams but in a recent interview with Adam Silver, he admitted that NBA Expansion is likely to come sooner rather than later. There have been many locations targeted for NBA Expansion including New Jersey, Kansas City, Nashville, Louisville, Las Vegas, Tampa, Seattle, New Mexico, Vancouver, and so many more. But I will break down the top 5 NBA expansion destinations in today’s video…----------------------------------------------------------

Top 5 Cities I Want to See Get an NBA Team:
1. Seattle
2. St. Louis
3. Las Vegas
4. Kansas City
5. Vancouver
1. Seattle
2. Las Vegas
3. Kansas City
4. Montreal
5. San Diego
My top 5 cities that I wanna see to get an NBA team.
All from the West
Louisville KY
Seattle is my number one choice, Las Vegas being the obvious second, but aside from them I’d love to see Vancouver, Mexico City would never work due to the altitude being far higher than Denver however, as a more wildcard pick, one that probably won’t happen but it would be cool, is Baltimore
Montreal really wants an NBA team soo fuckin bad
they currently have a g-league team in Mexico City
@@rqt2007 yeah I know but cartel crew and altitude is a different aspect
Grizzlies started in Vancouver and it wasn’t good. I’d try Montreal because its a bigger city. But i’m not fron Canada so i have no idea if the people there like basketball as the people in Toronto like it.
@@guilhermepinheiro1122 mainly said Vancouver because of the history, plus I’m bias with how close it is
I hope the Sonics come back!!!!
They would have to buy the trademark back from OKC.
@@scotttild I think they kept it in Sesttle, like the Browns did when they moved to Baltimore
Living in Portland Oregon I am a big Trail Blazer fan. I’ve been loyal to the team since the age of 7 back in 86.
One big tradition was the I5 rivalry between Portland and Seattle. I miss those moments of friendly debates about who could defeat who. I was so heartsick for Seattle when they were deceived and lost their SuperSonics.
I know I’m not the only person in Portland let alone all of you NBA fans who feel that when Adam Silver expands the league likely next summer Seattle should be the first team chosen
I also feel that Las Vegas is going to also receive a new NBA franchise as well. Especially due to the fact that LeBron James wants to be a minority owner.
While I agree that Louisville and Kansas City should also have new teams I really believe that if the league does goes to three expansion squads the third team will be in Mexico City.
The fan base is there, they embrace their G League team and they have an amazing building. The NBA is a very global game and they already have the Raptors up north in Canada who won their first Larry O’Brian trophy in 2019. Expanding to Mexico just makes a lot of sense.
Vancouver and Seattle!
Seattle deserves a team back. It's gotta be the first and the rest can be after.
Seattle #1, with Vancouver, Las Vegas, Montreal, and Mexico City being the next locations afterwards. Kansas City or St. Louis could round out the list nicely.
The NBA isn't putting 2 teams in Missouri... lol😂
As a football (or soccer as you call haha) fan from Brazil i assure you that an altitude of 2,240 meters is not a big deal for basketball. In soccer it starts to impact the game above 2,600 meters (1,615 miles). For american football or baseball its another history of course. However it cant be ignored. Our clubs here in south america play soccer matches at 3,600 high (La Paz) and it is like another sport.
I've been saying SEA & LV were getting teams for 12 yrs now but I think Vancouver & Mexico City are next up if they want to go to 34 teams down the line.
What about Kansas City, Montreal and San Diego or Louisville
@@dreamcage1801 Vancouver has advanced tremendously as a city & is one of the more diverse cities in the world. The city has taken on the pacific NW b-ball culture as well. Although Montreal has a bigger population it lacks the basketball culture to be taken seriously over Vancouver. I think San Diego is only a possibility if the renovations they have set are for NBA standards or these serious upgrades lead to a serious series investment group in the area. Even tho Louisville has a b-ball culture & a great arena ... I personally think & could be dead wrong in my assumption but I think the state of Kentucky would rather preserve the college rivalries that are heavily deep routed & would take forever for a NBA team to really catch on... a la CHA. I don't think league would want another lame duck team in a state w/ deep b-ball roots. KC would make the most sense honestly b/c it could be them or STL but KC seems prime to be a city next up after SEA & LAV but growing the league is more of an initiative for Silver. W/ that said Mexico City (one of the largest cities in the world) & Vancouver advance that more than another midwest city. IMO
@@dreamcage1801San Diego not likely. Kansas City maybe. Louisville maybe. Montreal high possibility. 🏀
@@SiGUYE San Diego really wants more pro sports teams so bad. Montreal, Kansas City and Louisville are a higher shot than Mexico City honestly.
The NBA has already tested Seattle and Vegas with their WNBA teams. As he said, the Storm drag in a lot of fans and I'm pretty sure the Aces won the finals this year. I feel like has some weird winning aura. As mentioned, I'm pretty sure the Aces won this year, the Golden Knights made the Stanley Cup, the Raiders made their first playoff appearances in 5 years, and I have a feeling the A's will return to relevance once they move to Sin City.
My list of Cities for expansion: 1. Seattle 2. Kansas City 3. Louisville 4. Mexico City 5. Las Vegas 6. Pittsburgh Then I would do some conference realignments: Minnesota to the central, Memphis and New Orleans to the eastern conference, Oklahoma City goes from the northwest to the southwest
Vancouver
BRING'EM BACK!!!
We need 6.
Atlantic - Montreal
Southeast - Jacksonville
Central - Cincinnati
Southwest - Kansas City
Northwest - Seattle
Pacific - Las Vegas
Seattle, Vegas, San Diego, Montreal Louisville and Cincinnati
Alaska Anchorage
*If you're going to do 32 teams, even out the schedule to 76 games with 4 divisions in 2 conferences: 28 games against teams in your division, 16 games against teams in the other division of the same conference, and 32 games against teams in the other conference. And, I would have the two expansion teams play against each other in the first 2 games, if in different divisions or conferences, or 4 games, if in the same division of their inaugural seasons.*
Some suggestions to expand and balance the conferences better?
The 18 teams under Eastern Conference include:
Atlantic
Toronto Raptors
Boston Celtics
Brooklyn Nets
New York Knicks
Philadelphia 76ers
Washington Wizards
Central
Chicago Bulls
Cleveland Cavaliers
Detroit Pistons
Indiana Pacers
Milwaukee Bucks
Minnesota Timberwolves
Southeast
Miami Heat
Orlando Magic
Atlanta Hawks
Charlotte Hornets
Memphis Tigers
Kansas City Chiefs
The 18 teams under Western Conference include:
Northwest
Oklahoma City Thunder
Denver Nuggets
Utah Jazz
Portland Trail Blazers
Seattle Supersonics
Vancouver Grizzlies
Pacific
Golden State Warriors
Los Angeles Lakers
Phoenix Suns
Sacramento Kings
San Diego Sharks
Las Vegas Spades
Southwest
Dallas Mavericks
Houston Rockets
New Orleans Pelicans
San Antonio Spurs
Austin Aviators
Mexican Capitanes
Top 3 destinations: Seattle, Seattle & Seattle!
My Top 6 are:
1. Seattle
2. Las Vegas
3. Kentucky (anywhere)
4. Kansas City
5. San Diego
6. St Louis
Sub St. Louis for either Montreal or Pittsburgh
The league should do like the NFL and MLB with American and National conferences.
You mean western and eastern conference?
Pittsburgh can possibly be the #3 city to get a NBA team because they recently put up a tons of money on how to get a team.
I think top 4 is
1. Seattle
2. Vegas
3. Kansas City
4. San Diego
5.
5. Louisville
6. Montreal or Cincinnati
One thing is that the OKC Thunder still holds the Sonics records, including their only championship in 1979
Cincinnati should get a NBA team again
Before the Sonics left town they were trying to make a combo arena for a hockey team and the Sonics. So I guess this is just the long version of that. Just to put things in perspective, Kevin Durant played for the Sonics.
as long as missouri gets a NBA team im chillin
Kansas City #1
I like the idea of adding Louisville and Kansas City especially considering Kansas City was once a NBA city and everybody knows Seattle and Vegas are the obvious choices are one and two but Mexico City just ain’t gonna happen.. yeah it’s a good spot to go host a off-the-wall NBA game once or twice every so often but 30 to 32 teams once expanded are not going to travel that far on a regular basis to play in Mexico City.. when thinking about teams like New York, Toronto and Portland having to travel that distance to Mexico City for one night and then fly back to the states to play in another city the next night on a back to back.. it just doesn’t make sense
What about San Diego? They definitely worth a look too
Pittsburgh deserves a NBA team too. Seattle, Vegas, San Diego, Louisville, Kansas City and Montreal which I predict.
Cincinnati too
They should add four new teams. There are so many good players need more opportunities. Pushing for Seattle, go Sonics!
I think the main problem is finding teams from both conferences as Vegas and Seattle are both west conference teams the nba needs to find two teams or locations with the same capabilties as Vegas and Seattle so i think Baltimore and Seattle for the next expansion. They are pretty big cities and are experience good growth in recent years
Well better late than never for Seattle returning. For Vegas i do wonder if they’ll treat it as the “tourist market” like the raiders for the NFL
Hopefully no more teams get relocated but they should expand to St. Louis, Kansas City, Tampa, Jacksonville, Buffalo, Virginia, Connecticut, Newark, Las Vegas, Seattle, Vancouver, Montreal.
San Diego and Louisville
Cincinnati
@@willjones9542 they’ll be having a new stadium ready by 2028
you forgot Montreal bro
We need a NBA team in St Louis Missouri
Cincinnati should be talked about, they have major support for their college team, and including their football and baseball teams, and seeing how big the support is for their new soccer team, a basketball team would work beautifully
Question is that will they support a NBA team though?
I'm a Houston Rockets fan ,but San Diego deserves a team again. Rockets were sold and moved to Houston in 1971 and the Clippers in San Diego were short and came from Buffalo as the Buffalo Braves and from an idiotic owner donald sterling who didn't care about winning.
San Diego is building a brand new arena and entertainment district as well soon.
San Diego county has almost 5 million metro population and thats largest without an NBA team in the USA.
San Diego is dealing with a rejuvenated sports
FYI: The murder rate in Mexico City is 9.96/100,000 ... murder rate in St.Louis is 87,83/100,000 (9 times more chance of being murdered in St. Louis than in Mexico City). Baltimore 58.60 (6 times worse), Memphis 48.7, Detroit 47.9, Cleveland 44.0, Philadelphia 35,7 (4 to 5 better chance of being murdered in those cities than Mexico City). Milwaukee 34.3, Atlanta 32,0, Washington 31.8, Oakland 30.9, Kansas City 30.7, Chicago 29.6, Indianapolis 27.1 ... all these cities are 3 times the rate of Mexico City. Only 7 NBA cities had a lower murder rate than Mexico City ... 23 NBA cities have a higher murder rate.
Pro basketball - which gets hundreds of new college players every season - is the one sport that could handle a new professional league. Teams could be located in Seattle, San Diego, Anaheim, Vancouver, Kansas City, St. Louis, Nashville, Columbus (Ohio), Hartford, Montreal, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Buffalo, Long Island, and Tampa Bay.
Louisville too
San Diego metro San Diego County has about 5 million poeple and Tijuana mexico right next door has about 4 million people. San Diego is easily largest metro market wothout an NBA team. NBA needs more teams out west as there are plenty of teams in Central and eastern time zones.
But the city won’t pay $ for an arena or stadium… That’s why the Chargers left…
I’d like a west coast add: Seattle, as the Sonics v Thunder would be interesting…
@@kopp0e541Kroenke is going to build a new indoor stadium for NBA & NHL.
seattle would be number one. And maybe they could split games between san diego and mexico city home games
I want San Diego to get a NBA team again
I think hopefully In 5 years the nba moves Memphis and New Orleans to the east and add Las Vegas probably with lebron as a part owner or majority owner and a team back in Seattle with the krakens arena their home
Do not expand where tornadoes can happen lmao. In all seriousness though, Vegas & Seattle should be the obvious 2 choices. But according to bro’s video, they’re going to Mexico City. He spent 5 minutes on that location.
It appears from what everyone is saying that Vegas and Seattle are teams 31 & 32 but if the NBA expands to 36 eventually then I see Mexico City as LOCK for the 33rd or 34th team!!!! Mexico City is larger than New York City with over 21 million people in the city itself. (over 8 times larger than Vegas) Mexico City has 10's thousands of filthy rich people in areas of the city as beautiful as any city in the USA (the area of Polanco is like Beverly Hills). Mexico City already has a G-league team and is among the top in attendance and expanding to Mexico opens the market to 133 million Mexicans and a doorway to the rest of Latin America. Mexico City is only under 4 hours and 40 minutes by plane to NYC and 4 hours to LA so distance isn't a problem as for altitude the NBA has played over 30 NBA exhibition and regular season games there over the last 20 years (NBA wouldn't play that many games there IF NO INTEREST) without altitude being an issue for players including the present G-league team. I have visited Mexico City 3 times for work and altitude was never an issue for me and I am not an NBA athlete who should have ZERO issues dealing with it.
Look what Toronto did for the NBA, in the 90's NBA only had 2-4 Canadians like Rick Nash, Samuel Dalembert, Jamal Magloire, and Rick Fox now the NBA has over 45 Canadian players in the NBA and G-league combined. Canadian players like Shai Gigeous Alexander, Jamal Murray, RJ Barrett, Andrew Wiggins, Dillion Brooks, Luguentz Dort, Dwight Powell, Kelly Olynyk, Brandon Clarke, Tristan Thompson, Sheldon Sharpe, Benedict Mathurin, Trey Lyles, Joshua Primo, Lindel Wigginton, and Andrew Nembhard to name just a few of the 23 Canadian NBA players in 2022/23 season. If not for expansion to Canada many of those players would have never become NBA players.
I foresee the NBA expanding to 36 teams by maybe 2036 and I can see Seattle, Vegas, Mexico City, and Vancouver OR Montreal and two other US cities. Vancouver is larger than Vegas and Montreal is as big as Seattle. As for West vs East... if 4 of the 6 teams are Western teams then just one Western team needs to move east to keep the 18-18 ratio ... top candidate to move east would be Minnesota (is soooo far from all the other Western Teams) as they are very close to Milwaukee, Chicago, and Indianapolis while Memphis and New Orleans are already very close to the 3 Texas teams and even Oklahoma City.
I see Montreal, Louisville, San Diego and Kansas City get a team
@@dreamcage1801yeah those cities would really be more ideal and better then having Mexico City having a team. San Diego should have a team
Louisville hands down, they also have a NWSL soccer team in Louisville that’s been supported just fine and is one of America’s biggest basketball crazed cities if not the biggest and would definitely sale out all 23000 seats of the yum center. How Louisville is overlooked for pro basketball is beyond me and kinda weird 🤷🏾♂️ but Oklahoma City and Memphis has a team.. good ol weird ol America…. Gotta love it.. hell, New Orleans don’t even want the pelicans there but they got em, and Louisville has been begging for a team and has a new arena bigger than most arenas that the NBA even has 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️ yea weird America 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Colonels
Should give virginia and baltimore teams
I just wish Kansas City had a chance at getting a team.
Yah I kind of wish that the Kings had never left KC.
Let’s hope we do get one, I’d be hyped asf if we get one fr.
Hell no more like we need euro teams like london , Australia
Just move the thunder to Kansas City Problem solved
@@anthonyrivera3520thunder have too much support in Okc.
Bring my Sonics back!!!
What's the background music?
tampa
Vancouver Lemmings
As most people want the Seattle Supersonics back the NBA will surely won't support and won't think a expansion team there because the local government doesn't want to support a pro-sports team there back then, they had already burned 4 chances the NBA gave for Seattle: Nope The Steve Ballmer deal financing half of the cost of a new arena in Seattle, Nope both the Kings or Bucks relocations before having their new owners and Nope the best deal of it all as a Local Business Group wants to finance everything from a new stadium and other expenses.
That was than. This is now. Things have changed.
Without a doubt the two biggest money makers would be Vancouver and Seattle.
No more teams in the eastern central time zones. More teams are needed out west.
Nobody deserves it more than Seattle
Seattke Sonics must be 1st, then Vegas Outlaws. The rest can wait.
so who of the two became east?
San Diego should get a team too
Yah I remember the time when they had the San Diego Clippers.
@@jacksonconley5117 I heard about that and Sterling took the team outta which the commissioner was against him moving it to LA but did it anyways
San Diego has the same issue that Florida has, Indoor sports are a hard sell when the beaches are there. Too many outdoor options. Why NHL and NBA will not really work in SD. I doubt they ever get either unless someone moves.
@@scotttild winter season that’s a different ballgame
CALI HAS LIKE 5 TEAMS RELAX BUDDY
Nashville or Louisville should get a NBA team
Expand to Seattle for sure and either Vegas or KC. Put them in the west and move Memphis Grizzlies to the east.
I never understood why the NBA never had a team in Pittsburgh. Even KC had the Kings a long time ago.
Honestly. I think the list should go 1. Seattle. 2. Las Vegas or Vancouver. 3. Montreal 4. Kansas City. 5. MEXICO CITY. High and ricch population matters.
1. Seattle 2. Las Vegas 3. Montreal 4. Louisville 5. Kansas City 6. San Diego
Seattle
nashville
Another team in canada or Baltimore
Definitely KY ✅
Las vegas is said to have a 10 Billion plan in place for a Arena and area around the Arena. Dark Horse team i will say St. Louis the Owners of the St. Louis Spirit of the ABA had a deal in place . After the ABA & NBA merger St. Louis Spirit owners took a deal to get a Million dollars a season that lasted from the merger to the 2010's . there is rumors the payments stopped for 1 of 2 things one the NBa didn't to pay anymore the other so if a group in St. Louis wanted to bring a team to St.Louis. I think it's going to be Las Vegas & Seattle.
Would the players get paid in pesos if they played for Mexico City ?
What do they get paired in Toronto
If Adam Silver wants to be commissioner of the NBA from Seattle fans and fans in general, the NBA he will make sure Seattle’s one of the two or three expansion cities otherwise Adam Silver may not be commissioner very long
Coneticut needs an nba team
It only has wnba
san jose
Batilmore
I would add another city Tampa bay would be good
baltimore
Bring the grizzlies back to Vancouver
montreal
Yess
Montreal royals
Royal blue and gold
Kansas City Royals would not allow the “royals” name
Vegas will be full of Laker fans.
Vancouver end of story, and they get their name back, sorry Memphis (Not) 😂😂😂 #GoGrizzilies #WETHEWEST #Grizzliesfan #FromSouthCaroliaUSA
virginia beach
anaheim
pittsburgh
mexico city
Football no soccer.
Mexico City won’t work. Too much travel
Right! Stay in the USA 🇺🇸 and Canada 🇨🇦 trait please.
Since there are no other teams in Louisville, say no to nba in Louisville
Why? It's not like they haven't had pro basketball in the past... ABA team was the best in the league and outnumbering most NBA teams in attendance. Biggest (basketball only) and nicest arena in the entire country right now. FOH
Couldn't.. care.. less.. it's all rigged anyways.
Qué os parece @DrafteadosNBA ???
You made a whole damn video about NBA expansion without mentioning Vancouver and Montreal. Good job! Louisville lol.
It's 2024 and Americans still don't even realize there's a whole other country to the north where the inventor of basketball came from, and forgot that the Grizzlies used to be a Canadian team and were stolen from us
Bring back my sonic s
