Will Saint Louis ever get an NBA team?

portland or orlando will not move....look at like Atlanta, Minnesota (if KG leaves...no one will go..trust me, I live here), or the Clippers (even if they are winning this year). But yes, I think St. Louis deserves a team more then the Hawks and the Clippers

I'm not the first person to suggest this--Kansas City--but let me explain why.\n \n Kansas city is in the center of a hotbed of hoops lovers\nhttp://maps.google.com/maps?q=Kansas+City,+MO\n\nTo the west you have Kansas, and kansas loves the Jayhawks.\nTo the south you have oklahoma and okcity has gone Cuckoo for the hornets.  And to the north you have Iowa, who has no professional team(just like Kansas and Oklahoma) so they would latch on to the proteam just like fans in the region already love the chiefs.\n\nNone of this mentions that St Louis folks would make this new team thiers.  Missouri loves basketball.  And the state would make it the state team, kinda like everyone in Missouri loves the chiefs and the cardinals.\n\nAlso, KC once had a successful team, the Kansas City Kings.  They reacdhed the western conference finals in 80-81, KC needs  another chance.

Chicago.  Also has the NBA and a second MLB team which St. Louis does not.\nIf St. Louis was so great the Rams would be in Arizona, and St. Louis would have two teams named Cardinals. I doubt that you'll ever see a team move out of Chicago.

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.

While Oklahoma City was a great success, New Orleans should get the team back and rally around there sports franchises.  Especially with the Reggie Bush mania going on.  The Portland Trailblazer are having some major issues that need to be sorted out or there a real possibility.  St. Louis is a great sports city and I beleive they would be a great NBA city as well.  Honestly though, since I live in Sacramento, if the city and the Kings owners (Joe and Gavin Maloof) don't come to an agreement soon on a new arena deal, the Kings will be outta here sooner than later.  Anaheim is dying to take the Kings or any franchise.  And what about Vegas?  The Maloofs would have a hard sell on convincing the league to go to Sin City but the Maloofs are based in Vegas.  Those three franchises seem to be the one who would be moved if such a thing did occur in the relatively near future.

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.

Probably not. There's too many teams that are better and the Jazz haven't developed a chemistry yet.

I would say yes to this question for any team in the NBA, just playing the odds. But the Knicks are really screwed.  I would think over a decade they will learn that they have to go the rebuilding route like the Nuggets did.  That's really the only way to do it in the NBA. I'd say there in the playoffs around 2010, but they won't be legit contenders

Im st. louis all the way because marc bulger ( from west virginia) and im also from west virginia and ive always liked marshall faulk he may not start now but he is still one of the best in the leage. but they should be a super bowl contender because they have more talent than most teams so they should give some teqams some trouble this year go saint louis!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure they will. L.A. is just too big not to have a football team. I doubt they will have two at one time though.

St. Louis should keep it. Draft American Jack Johnson (I think that's his name).\nHe'll be a good fit in there.\n\n\nI'd be surprised if Dan Cloutier isn't moved sometime soon\n\nAnd the draft starts at 6pm, not trade deadline ;)

Heck no.  They'll never have a shot until they load up on fireballers and re-assemble the Blake Street Bombers.\n\nGo Cubs!

He never made it to the NBA, (http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/ has no sign of him). \n\nHe was drafted by the old CBA and I saw one place where he signed with a team in Poland but really I can't find anything else.

anything is possible.  realisticly, no.  they need a superstar player.  they lack discipline.  it takes a good few years before a team makes the playoffs.  it needs good coaching.  the wings were not a good team overnight.  it took many seasons before they got to number one and made the playoffs and won three cups.

More power to them.  LA has not been awarded a team because they (like san Diego) refuse to build a new stadium.  They want a team to share the colesium and that's not even cool..  If Chula wants to build them a stadium, Good for them!

probably going to be in this order:\nGolden State\nNew Orleans\nCharlotte\nAtlanta\nNew York.\nGolden State is with some great talent and nice guards if they can stay healthy. \nNew Orleans have Paul and a nice inside player in West as well as Desmond Mason. They have a pretty good chance too.\nCharlotte, well, as long as they get over the injury bug, stay together and have some nice drafts, they ll get there too.\nAtlanta, they have better potential then Charlotte, but they are not developing their player well enough (if there is such a thing as too many young players, this is the case).\nNew York... well that whole mix of talented but uncoachable players is just that talented, but uncoachable. They are all great if NBA is about 1 on 1. But they all suck if they are playing 5 on 5.
