I used to like watching the sonics when I was a kid but I am not very familiar with the NBA. Why aren't new teams allowed? I was actually just wondering why they couldn't just form a new team.

NBA teams are franchises, similar to McDonald's franchises. League must choose to expand before new teams are formed. A rare exception is absorbing teams from a competing league, but that is not quick, cheap, or highly successful route to a team.
