you do realize that the clippers already tried that whole SD thing, right?
sure it was a while ago, but I don't think the results would be much better this time
no way tucson could support a team and phoenix would pitch a fit if they tried .... i could maybe see a D-League team there
there really isn't a huge eastern presence - maybe a team in rochester or syracuse (not buffalo with a team already in erie), a team in cincy to grab some of the kentucky fans, as well as reach up to toledo
maybe a DL team in st. louis or KC
i don't mind el paso - would be a good geographical fit between hidalgo and ABQ
anchorage would never work - simply way too much $$ that would need to be spent to get to/from on a regular basis
