All excellent points. The NBA commissioner is in support of another NBA team in Vancouver. May they should try Montreal first?PJ_Soul said:Meltdown99 said:Vancouver Grizzlies relocation to Memphis

The location of the team in Canada was a major contributor; at the time the exchange rate was 67 U.S. cents to the Canadian dollar. Because revenue was collected in Canadian dollars but player and coach salaries were paid in U.S. dollars, the team ended up spending an undue amount of its revenue on salaries.[6] The 1998–99 lockout was the pivoting point for home game attendance. While the whole league experienced a drop in attendance after the lockout, Vancouver experienced an even larger fall.[13] The average attendance in 1997–98 was 16,108, ranking 16th in the league,[14] while it fell to 13,899 in 1999–00, ranking 27th.[15]
Pretty hard to compete when our dollar is the crappy.
The Raptors benefited from being in a much better market and obviously, Toronto is a better sports city and could easily handle 2 NHL teams and an NFL team...
Could Vancouver?The attendance was the deadly symptom of failure, not the cause. The cause was really the expansion draft and the inability of the team to sign an all-star. If the team had done better attendance would have been better too.But we don't need to try again. People are spending all their money on the insane cost of living here now. Nobody can afford basketball tickets.
And you are right Vancouver/BC is insanely expensive to live...you would only have the well off attending games.

As a raptors fan I would love Leonard to come back and I feel that he will but if he doesn't then I want him on the Clippers mostly cause I want to see the lakers fail which they will if they don't get Leonard.maybe I will get slammed for this but if the Lakers don't get Leonard, I could see them either being a bottom seed or not making the playoffs next year even with James and AD.0

The Clippers are out. It's between Toronto and LA. Chris Carter says the announcement will be tomorrow. Many say the Raptors are front runners, but it's close...fife said:As a raptors fan I would love Leonard to come back and I feel that he will but if he doesn't then I want him on the Clippers mostly cause I want to see the lakers fail which they will if they don't get Leonard.maybe I will get slammed for this but if the Lakers don't get Leonard, I could see them either being a bottom seed or not making the playoffs next year even with James and AD.

It will not be a 2-year deal. That has been reported. I say 5-year max for Toronto?fife said:As a raptors fan I would love Leonard to come back and I feel that he will but if he doesn't then I want him on the Clippers mostly cause I want to see the lakers fail which they will if they don't get Leonard.maybe I will get slammed for this but if the Lakers don't get Leonard, I could see them either being a bottom seed or not making the playoffs next year even with James and AD.Give Peas A Chance…0 -
If they dont get Kawhi the Lakers will get Marcus Morris, Danny Green, Kyle Korver, probably Boogie. They’ll be a playoff team barring injury. Anthony Davis is like Samuel L Jackson’s character on Unbreakable. Mr Glass0

I don't think there is any coming back from losing your team to the city of Memphis. All future rights are void.

I heard that the spurs are going for Boogie. as for Green that depends on where Leonard signs, i could see him come back to toronto if leonard signs there. AD for me has always been overrated. yes he is a great player but people saying he is a top 5 players doesn't make sense to me.cp3iverson said:If they dont get Kawhi the Lakers will get Marcus Morris, Danny Green, Kyle Korver, probably Boogie.

His jumper is getting worse, not better. He needs to get that back to create space for Lebron.fife said:
