I feel you man, the Northwest stays getting robbed of teams. No matter how much a team is supported corporate greed/government incompitence can fuck everything up. Out of curiosity, what happened with the Grizzlies that made the ownership want to move them?
Jaydc:
The grizzlies was an absolute clusterfuck by the NBA.Lets face it they were terrible and for good reason.Absurd handicaps on the franchise didnt allow them to pick 1st overall even though they had the worst record in basketball for a few years straight.So instead of being able to draft Tim duncan 1st overall,they got the 4th pick and got antonio daniels who was a bust.I mean if your trying to expand into a new market and the team is terrible you would think they would allow them to be able to draft the best players but no they these absurd rules that disallowed them from having the first pick
Stu Jackson is another big reason for their failure,the guy was and always will be a complete idiot.Mark Cuban has gone on record as saying the NBA was the sole reason the franchise went so wrong.hes stated that if the nba made him operate dallas in the same way,that dallas would no longer have a team either.he quoted that int he marketing department the grizzlies only had two employees under jackson and sterns watch.Meanwhile most teams have upwards of 40.
then they allowed the sale of the team to some owner who promised he wouldnt movet he franchise,and the first thign he did was move the franchise.The funniest part of it is,that memphis has less fans and have been terrible as well and continue to be run poorly.

Yet the Lakers could draft Magic back when they already had Jabbar :D Or draft Jerry West back when they already had Elgin Baylor.
Shit is not fair!

Yeah a similar thing happened in Seattle when Howard Schultz (Starbucks owner and gazzilionare) sold them to Clay Bennet from Oklahoma., not cause he thought he'd keep them here, but cause he was the highest bidder. Even though he said he was gonna keep the team here everyone knew he was lieing (which is was lead to a slight decrease in support for the teams last two years here). Once Bennet had control of the team he did everything he could to destroy our fan base. It started with trading Ray Allen, then dismantling our team so they could tank and get good draft picks in OKC, it's not a coincidence that the teams last year in Seattle was EASILY their worst year in the franchises history. That cock sucker also wouldn't allow Kevin Durant or Jeff Green to talk on the radio or get involved in the community.Then to cap it all off Greg Nickels (Seattle mayor) sold the Key Areana lease to Clay Bennet which allowed him to move the team two years early. The Sonics should have been in Seattle playing the Lakers this year, not fuckin shithole OKC. This year could've been similar to '95 when Griffey saved the Mariners from moving, but instead our gay ass government didn't do shit about it. Makes me fuckin sick.

The Lakers went 25-50 before drafting West with the 2nd pick, dipshit.
