New NBA Teams?

I have just heard that the Sonices might not exist next year. David Stern is meeting with the people that originally wanted the team in Vegas,and they are thinking of selling the Grizzlies or the sonics to Las Vegas.I personally think it will be seatle though. teh nets in 09 i think will move to Brooklyn but thats not that big of a deal.but since betting on nevda based teams is illegal in might hurt the gambling/betting world a little

Forget Oklahoma. How about the Las Vegas Sonics?

Sonics owner Clay Bennett told a group of Seattle business and civic leaders this week that Las Vegas, rather than his hometown of Oklahoma City, would be a likely destination if the team winds up leaving Washington state.

Re: New NBA Teams?

I'm fine with that, as long as they don't call them the "Las Vegas Sonics". We don't need any more of that Utah Jazz/L.A. Lakers stuff in the league. An NBA team in Vegas should be proud to use a name that is a celebration of the city.

How about the "Las Vegas Celine Dions"?

Re: New NBA Teams?

The real question is, who will field a more competitive basketball team in LV? The Sonics or Cirque du Soleil?
