MLS will probably be good since so many St. Louis kids play soccer apparently, but basketball tickets are pretty expensive and they'd have to share Scottrade Center with the Blues anyway.
Dave Checketts (owner of the Blues and someone who knows a lot about the NBA) himself said he doesn't think it would work.
I would like to see NHL in KC. I think it could work, as long as it's a winning team.

You don't even live in St. Louis!! God, everytime there's a thread suggesting NBA in St. Louis you have to come in and tell us what we should spend our money on.
sharing venues is typical in sports as well and St. Louis MSA is 30% black with little interest outside of the rams and cardinals and the cardinals demographics skew towards the elderly.
And no one wants to spend 300 million on a soccer stadium when there's a WPS team (poorly supported) and the most successful NCAA program in the history of the country SLU!
