Sacramento's problem is that it's a really small market, though they had a horrible attendance this year, and it was due to people not going to the games. Detroit also had bad attendance this last year, but they have traditionally been a great basketball city, but maybe the still declining economy there might make it harder and harder to support any sports teams. According to the attendance figures not many teams are actually under 80% of capacity, though Cleveland is one of them. But Cleveland must have a huge arena because they have draw a good number, but it's only 78% of their arena's size. Must have thought the LeBron era was going to last a bit longer there. They need to add more seats to Staples some how. They have a high sell out percentage yet they are not in the top 5 for overall attendance. Also another reason to expand Staples, the Clippers went over capacity and oversold the Lakers. Not sure how they added extra seats, but the Clippers were at 100.9% of possible seats! So Lakers might want to talk to Staples about getting some more seats.

Yeah but in a lot of cases you can't really judge NBA by attendance. As much as I want the Kings to come here they have a great fan-base and theyve just had bad attendance because of their ownership situation along with the fact that the teams in the shitter. Every team that isn't the Lakers, Knicks, etc goes through bad spells of attendance. Obviously if a city has shit attendance ear after year they don't deserve a team but if you're going to move a team just because of a few years of bad attendance you're creating a never-ending door.

The bricks hardly have a bad spells of attendance because a lot of them are sheep. They put up with the crap that Dolan is doing with them & the rangers. The fiasco with Scott Layden or Osama bin Layden, & Isiah. Maybe the fans would stop showing up to send a message, but that barely happened. Heck the last time i've heard that the Jets failed to sellout a home game was the late 70's :o & they drafted terribly like the clippers in the 80's & 90's. Still sold out. If they were in so-cal drafting poorly & playing poorly they'd be run outta town like the rams were.

Philadelphia is very passionate about their sports team including the 76ers. The DC metro area is pretty big and can support a team when they aren't so damn shitty. The Bucks on the other hand play in a city that nobody wants to live in and in a metro area that isn't that big. They should be moved to Seattle.

DC ain't even supporting their 3rd baseball team they didn't even deserve to have. They lost their 1st 2 teams cause they didn't support them either. They're good now, but all the whining & crying people did to get DC a 3rd team they should be selling out all the time win or lose. Only a terrorist attack is a good excuse not to. And their new stadium looks good, except for all the gay ass cursive W's in it. Why anyone likes that cap & wants to buy it is beyond me ??? Their DC cap looked way much better. The expos woulda been better off in Virginia, Vegas, even Puerto Rico than DC. Redskins are no. 1 there. The cuntpitals started selling out again near the playoffs in 2008.

Though the Lakers had to move or go bankrupt, and now Minneapolis is a HORRIBLE basketball city. Milwaukee, after years of the Bucks being mediocre at best, just isn't a good basketball city anymore. Too close to Chicago, and Wisconsin is more of a football state. So the Bucks spend half the season in the Packer's shadow and the other half with people counting down to the Brewers season. If the Bucks move, no one will miss them, hell Wisconsin is not even a good hockey state. If Milwaukee is up for grabs, it might be for the better than Sacramento. Still, Sacramento is not as good of a city for the NBA than Seattle.

Brewers are popular also. Wisconsin is considered a good hockey market, they got the badgers. Plus they're next to the real hockeytown, Minnesota. They just won't support a Chicago or Minnesota nhl team. They should be getting a team & move Phoenix out. Minnesota is too darn cold & black people despise cold weather so not many blacks wanna play there.
M Dogg™:
I do agree, Milwaukee should have a hockey team over Phoenix. I did mention the Brewers were popular. Might be time for the Bucks to leave, though their tradition is do deep that it's sad to see them go.
As i said, the two non basketball towns in the NBA are Orlando and New Orleans.

staples should definitely be bigger..duno why it's so small to begin with. probably for comfort reasonings ala the forum.

And the decision is supposed to be 2day. I wonder how things will play out since the magoofs added some poison pills >:( Still being petty, the right thing to do is sell to someone who will keep the team in no-cal. I wish that the seattle dude would try to request that there be an expansion team for the city in 2014.
