The municipality should buy the team imo, Seattle could float a bond measure to pay the expansion fee and it’d probably pass lol

they mayor should be the gm and get voted out if they suck
wonder what the nba looks for in an expansion city, a state of the art arena is obvs at the top of the list but past that im not sure, there must be some demographic profile or whatever

basically-- nba-ready arena, the type of economy that can fill luxury boxes, and someone with 2 billion dollars who wants a team there.

w/ OKC i heard it explained as like... they got a team bcuz clay bennett's ownership group had the money to buy a team and wanted to put it in OKC & stern decided to make it happen. but it's not like OKC was identified as the single most desired location for a new NBA team
― J0rdan S., Friday, 8 January 2021 21:21 (three years ago) link
didnt he promise not to move them to okc at some point
― lag∞n, Friday, 8 January 2021 21:23 (three years ago) link
yeah clay bennett and the okc business community really put on the full-court press to get a team. they had the track record of the hornets season there which could have helped selling the nba on okc as a good market. also it's one of those places with more money than ppl think.

sorta indifferent-to-against expansion but seattle and vegas would be cool
― k3vin k., Friday, 8 January 2021 23:19 (three years ago) link
yeah im prob against expansion for expansions sake but seattle 500% needs a team and might as well do another to keep the numbers even

my opinion is that more teams is good

idk for sickos like us the worst days of the week are like the tuesdays and saturdays when there's no good games and diluting the talent pool more doesn't really solve that does it?

moving would be a much better solution than expanding.

anyways i am up for expansion if the teams are out west where there are not enough teams and i don't care much about "dilution" there's 30 very good basketball players out there i guarantee this

Beginning with Summer Leagues and effective for the 2021-22 season, game officials will enforce the playing rules in a manner that reduces the incentive for offensive players to use non-basketball moves to draw fouls.Thread ⤵️ (1/7)— NBA Official (@NBAOfficial) August 8, 2021

rip a lot of guys! But I love this, it’s been something noxious about the game that nobody likes for awhile and has been getting worse year over year
― Clay, Sunday, 8 August 2021 20:18 (two years ago) link
Among the many ugly non-basketball moves, I count the "rip through" move, where the offensive player who has been holding the ball high and away suddenly swings the ball down low and across the arms of the defensive player facing him, not preparatory to doing anything with the ball, but simply to draw a foul. Harden especially favors this one.

about time is how i break it down to an extent. mostly curious to see who and how this effects not only the 22 season but also player's legacies.

They changed the rip through years ago it’s just a common foul not a shooting foul now. You don’t see them nearly as often.
