As I see Oklahoma City with a new arena, Kansas City building a new arena, and one on the way for Louisville while Las Vegas is hosting the All-star game I poise the ? where will these future markets get teams from. Only a few franchises are even close to threatening to move. Will the NBA consider expanding? Kansas City has to know something that the rest of the country doesn't by building the brand new Sprint Center instead of renovating Arrowhead or Kaufman stadiums. In the next few years, I see the Magic moving to Kansas City, the hornets moving to OKC, the Kings moving to Las Vegas if no arena is built in Sac, and I think Louisville along with a rebuilt New Orleans will get expansion teams. What do u guys think?

if louisville gets a pro team....that wouldnt be like cheering for the cards would it? i'd love to have a pro team in KY, but if they call them anything like cards or red birds or anything remote....i will banish them from memory....

Would love to see Kentucky (even if it is Louisville) get a NBA team but I doubt it happens anytime soon. I think Las Vegas is probably the leading city for a new team. After that they'll probably start looking south of the border. :X
