Top 5 Cities that Deserve an NBA Expansion Team

- In this video I will be listing 5 major cities that I think deserve an NBA expansion team in the foreseeable future. NBA commissioner Adam Silver had mentioned Las Vegas and Seattle as the top two destinations that could wind up getting a team. Mexico City was also considered as a potential dark horse candidate for NBA expansion since the NBA schedules one game every year to be played there and not to mention it's already home to the Mexico City Capitanes of the NBA G-League. When we could actually end up seeing the NBA add more teams has yet to be determined but it's bound to happen at some point.
Seattle, Vegas, Mexico City, Montreal, San Diego, and Louisville
I can agree
@@PanthersCentral704 💯
@@PanthersCentral704what about Pittsburgh?
@@dreamcage1801they need an arena
@@dreamcage1801 Like I mentioned in the video, Pittsburgh has a team in every other major sports league except the NBA. I honestly don’t see what could prevent them from getting an expansion team. It may be a while before that actually happens but I wouldn’t rule it out.
St. Louis would be a great NBA destination again and not only state of Missouri needs a NBA team but STL would be a great rival against the Bulls, Pistons, and Bucks.
Cincinnati may have a shot of getting a NBA team again this time around because of a proposed new arena.
Nashville has been recently mentioned as a potential candidate for a NBA team
Not too sure about Nashville. Maybe it could potentially be a dark horse candidate but it’s not really as popular compared to a lot of other cities that are probably more deserving of getting an NBA team.
@@PanthersCentral704 such as Pittsburgh, Louisville, Montreal and definitely Seattle right?
In reality it’ll probably likely be Seattle, Vegas, Montreal, Kansas City, Louisville and San Diego to get NBA teams.
adam silver mentioned: vegas, seattle, mexico city, montreal and vancouver
Lot of cons about MXC getting a NBA team is not only the traveling but the altitude is worse than Denver, safety concerns and the cartel crew. So put San Diego in as an expansion team because it is a Latino city filled with Mexicans.
@@dreamcage1801 nba already has a g league team there and so far there are no problems
@@fadercreek maybe not now but down the road possibly. If it isn’t than I change my theory. Top 6 cities should be Seattle, Vegas, Mexico City, San Diego, Montreal, Louisville
@@dreamcage1801 add Baltimore and Kansas city
@@dreamcage1801 Yeah l’ve heard about how the altitude in CDMX is much higher than Denver (not surprising considering that Mexico is a mountainous country) and not to mention having to cross the border so there are definitely some concerns about potentially putting a team in CDMX, but it’s THE largest city (by population) in North America with over 9 million people. They already have the Capitanes who play in the G-League so it’s not really much of a priority at the moment but it could happen somewhere down the line.
1.) Seattle
2.) Vancouver
Simple done. 🔒
I do see Vegas eventually getting a team tho via relocation (Pels likely)
Vancouver could be a possible destination. However I’m not sure how well an NBA team will succeed there hence why the Grizzlies relocated to Memphis. Maybe things will be a whole lot different if they ever get another team.
@@PanthersCentral704what about Pittsburgh?
Louisville will likely to be in the eastern conference
Yeah more than likely
@@PanthersCentral704 be a rival to the pacers and cavaliers
Seattle def deserves to have the sonics back and I’ve heard the nba wants to do some expansion soon so that might be the right move
Hey Veer. Didn’t expect to hear from you. Yeah I agree. Seattle 100% deserves to have another NBA team.
@@PanthersCentral704 shouldn't have lost their team from the get-go
@@PanthersCentral704 Yea I saw your vid appear on my feed and figured I would leave a comment since it’s been a while
@@WuTangWrestling Btw do you wear cologne? Just curious.
@@PanthersCentral704 I don’t wear cologne often I only do it for special occasions but I do prioritize my cleanliness and hygiene so there’s that
Bring the Braves back to Buffalo where they would be an another expansion basketball franchise team in the NBA where they would face a future cross - border rival Toronto Raptors in the Atlantic Division of the NBA’s Eastern Conference
Buffalo Braves needs to return
Not sure if Buffalo could support another NBA franchise like they did in the past but hypothetically speaking if they do end up getting one, bringing back the Buffalo Braves would be kinda cool and nostalgic, especially for the older fans who supported the team before they relocated to San Diego and became the Clippers. That being said, I don’t think Buffalo is a top priority for NBA expansion at the moment compared to Seattle or Vegas and not to mention they already have the Bills (a playoff contender) and the Sabres (a laughingstock) so I think they’re fine for now.
If Kansas City gets an NBA team, which conference will they be in the east or west?
Most likely in the western conference
@@PanthersCentral704 why the western conference. I normally look at a geography stand point that it's connected to the east with Indiana, Cleveland.
@@dreamcage1801 Take the Kansas City Chiefs for example. They play in the AFC *West* Also Kansas City is in Central Time Zone (which is mainly the Midwest states) and a lot of teams that play in the Midwest are usually in the Western Conference (i.e. Timberwolves, Pelicans, OKC, all the Texas NBA teams)
@@PanthersCentral704 Kansas City NBA team would be with OKC, Utah, Denver and possibly phoenix
Could Buffalo be legitimate enough for a NBA team?
Vancouver, Montreal and Mexico City are unlikely to have a NBA team im hearing.
@@dreamcage1801 Source???
1) I honestly don’t see Vancouver getting another team, at least not in the foreseeable future
2) Montreal I don’t know. They’re more geared towards hockey so I’m not sure if any of the residents would even care enough about basketball.
3) Mexico City to me makes the most sense considering it’s the largest city in North America and Mexicans are extremely passionate about sports. Only major issues are the high altitude and having to cross the border, which isn’t a problem when teams have to travel to Toronto to play the Raptors. I think at some point down the road line, we could potentially see a team in CDMX, but it’s not a priority at the moment.
