I think it is better this way they have their own arena and City. Anaheim is a great city..Angels are located their and so is Disney land and the mighty ducks.. And Clipper means a really fast boat...If they moved to Anheim they would be closer to the bay area hence their name would actually make sense.

Yes, they should move to Anaheim. There is a bit of a rivalry between the Lakers and the Clips. Even though LA is big city, it's wrong for two teams of the same league and sport to play in the same arena. There should be some breathing room between the two teams. Also, they should mark their territories in the Sothern California area. In the end, now that the Clippers are a good team just about every city/state wants them, but with Disney Land and all, they'll fit in great in Anaheim.

No L.A. does not need a football team. The NFL has been growing exponentially since it left L.A. Expansion would just lead to unbalanced schedules and there's no reason to move anybody to L.A.

well there not going to expend for a very long time, but the 4 top places that would get an NHL team which might happen sooner then later if the Pens can't get their arena built, its a Canadian business man that bought the Pens. if he could he would bring them to Hamilton, Ontario, but it will be hard cause of the Leafs are so close and his second city he has mentioned was Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario. Kansas City was another spot for a team but that was if this other buyer would of bought the team, so you can say it might not go there. but another great spot would be to bring back the Jets in Winnipeg they have a new arena which is bigger then most NHL arena's and the Copps Coliseum in Hamilton, Ontario has a Capacity of 19,000 also bigger then most arena's in the NHL, so if it doesn't work out in Pittsburgh you will see a new team in Canada which they should have a team cause hockey is Canada.\n\nGO HABS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

New York isn't the only state with 2 teams.  As so many people have pointed out, Ohio has the Indians and the Reds, Illinois has the Cubs and the White Sox, Texas has the Rangers and the Astros, Florida has the Marlins and the Devil Rays, Missouri has the Cardinals and the Royals, Pennsylvania has the Phillies and the Pirates, California's got 5 teams in the A's, Giants, Dodgers, Angels, and Padres, and a case could be made for the Washington D.C./Maryland area having two teams in the Nationals and the Orioles.\n\nIf you're talking about the city of New York, they're not the only city to have two teams either.  The Cubs and the White Sox both play in Chicago, and even Los Angeles has two teams (can anyone forget the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim?), although the Angels play down the I-5 in a completely different county.\n\nAnd wait, I'm still not done.  The Yankees have been throwing money at players for years and yet they haven't won a World Series since 2000 when they beat the Mets.\n\nDude, check your facts before you start shooting your mouth off.

I think the NBA should expand the league too. I don't think it would delute the talent because I think there is more people playing basketball now than ever because populations rise over time. It would be fun to see more players to get chances to play if there were more teams.\nOklahoma City and Indianapolis technically have cities already...\nIt would be great to see the Clippers move back to San Diego.\nI'd like to see Columbus, Austin, and Las Vegas and other rapidly expanding cities that already have large populations to get new franchises.\nEither Kansas City or St. Louis would be good too because they love basketball especially there...

If they ever did expand, I hope they would add two teams to keep the balance between conferences. They could set it up like the NFL: four 4-team divisions, and the 82-game schedule would look like this:\n\n- 4 games vs. each division opponent (12 total)\n- 3 games vs. each remaining conference opponent (12 teams - 36 games)\n- 2 games vs. each of the other conference opponents (16 teams - 32 games)\n\nThat's 80 games, and the other 2 games can be held on a rotating basis against teams in other divisions who finished the previous season in the same position in their own divisions.\n\nNow, where would they go? LA has two teams already, so Anaheim wouldn't need one. San Francisco/Oakland has Golden State and Sacramento fairly close by already, so they're out. The NBA's current geographical alignment is as good as it can be with the placement of franchises, even with the Hornets playing so much in OKC.\n\nI wouldn't mind seeing teams in St. Louis or Kansas City (Western) and maybe back here in Cincinnati (Eastern). Realignment would make things pretty wacky, though, and could mess up the nice balance the league has. Do they really need extra teams?\n\nIf you're talking about just moving franchises, then since it seems OKC is able to support a team, that would be a good place to go. I honestly don't see the need to move any, and since the divisions and conferences have geographic names, the alignment should be geographically correct as well.

they are pretty good but not good enough to beat san jose.  i think san jose will open a can of whipa$$ in the conference finals if they face the ducks.

Wish we were , our boys came home about 2 months ago all excited about the oilers (actually I think they were calling them the gas team , they are 10 & 7 ) , it would be a great experence for them .  We live in a small town in Northern Ont, so I guess it will be the T.V and popcorn for us. As our 3 yr old says : go guys go !!!!!

pittsburgh should relocate to winnepeg.  their fans are great there.  they have more people who would watch the games .  that would put detroit  in the eastern conference where they belong.  the face of the west would change dramatically if it happened.

Candlestick is a very old stadium and if they were going to try upgrading it, it would probably cost as much or more than a new stadium.  It sounds like they are moving to Santa Clara, but they'll probably keep the San Francisco name just like the Giants and Jets kept the New York portion of their name when they moved to New Jersey.

what in h*ll is the Borferbillers football assiciation? Yeah he should donate his "great arm" and marty schotnhiemer should donate his vocabulary to a church. that being said as much as i would like to have a football autographed by one of the football greats i think i would go for the mansion in malibu and then donate it to some penguins

Absolutely behind u on that.Some of these smaller cities have but one news paper,so naturally NY would dominate.Besides there is a lot of money behind them and they want to keep their jobs.It has been biased from day one.If these smaller franchise could spend money on players like the Yankees have, they wouldn't have won all those championships.

not if you own a business California has a reputation as being downright hateful towards businesses due to oppressive taxes.\n\nDodgers are just going back to Brooklyn where they started. The Chargers may be moving to Los Angeles where they started i also heard a rumor they were going to start calling themselves the California or Southern California Chargers and play in SD and LA. They were the Los Angeles Chargers in their first year. I think the Giants were also originally in another city the 49ers may just be moving to a new stadium.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Oakland's nickname "The Town"? And don't the Warriors play in Oakland?\n\nI believe San Francisco's nickname is "The City" in which case you couldn't find a Warrior's sweatshirt with those words.

If the penguins leave Pittsburgh no team will replace them, at least in this city.  They don't need and I hope they don't get a new arena, they are a losing team and Mario needs to cut his loses and realize that a new arena is not going to increase attendence or make the team prophitable in this town.  I don't know much else about the subject ;)  Just think they should leave and we should pick up an NBA team instead.

Home court advantage will still be a factor (Just not a big one cause both teams can still sleep at their own house) - but since season ticket holders get the first chance at buying tickets - For the Clipper games - the majority will be Clipper fans, and same for the Lakers.  The floors will still change of course.  \n\nThey will meet in round 2.  I think it will be a good close series.  The Clips have home court and a better team, but the Lakers have Phil Jackson who is a playoff legend.  I see the Clippers wining in 7 games.
