if there were to be 2 more expansion teams...?

Like real basketball, as well as basketball video games? Talk about the NBA, NCAA, and other professional and amateur basketball leagues here.

Postby kingjames23 on Wed Aug 04, 2010 6:36 am

what city would you pick, and what would be the logo/symbol and team colors?

first of all, bring back the Seattle Supersonics and restore them to their proper colors. lets just get that one out of the way first.

my second pick...

Pittsburgh Piranhas (was briefly used as their CBA team name in 94 i think)

Panthers is already taken by their NCAA team.... too bad there.

they already have a football, baseball,and hockey team ( Steelers, Pirates, Penguins... Piranhas) see how that just"fits"

of course, they would have to have black uniforms, with gold lettering and numbering and maybe red fish eyes and white teeth against the black background for a symbol...

anybody else have any ideas? this is just meant for fun.

Wasn't there talk of bringing a team to Vegas? I think this would fit there.

That won't be an expansion team, just some team re-locating.

Theoretically, it could be though, right?

I'd put a team in Hartford Connecticut to build a regional rivalry with the Celtics and build on UCONN/w/e that WNBA team that plays at the casino down there.


And give a professional team to Montana already.
Opinions are my own.

Vancouver is a city that is in needs of a team. Grizzlies pretty much was stolen(fucking Heisley and his false promise) from them.

Another city would be Seattle, if the Sonics can't be brought back.
