Of those, if we're talking about where I'd want to live, I'd probably go with Vegas and Honolulu. I just like that they're different from what I'm used to.



There's already a pro team in Lexington
Lol, the Wildcats don't count. Though I do think they could take several "pro" teams like the Wolves and Sixers...

I would say Birmingham, AL and Louisville, KY. I know Kentucky would really support a basketball team.

As for what the X could stand for, some possible names could be "The Colonials", "The Blackbeards" or "The Ironclads".

IDK.
Hampton Roads. Cool, I can see it!

I doubt Hampton Roads will get a team since the seven cities can't seem to agree on anything, such as a deal to finance a stadium/arena. I could be wrong though.

Why do "we" have to "agree" on financing a stadium, does that make any sense to you? VA Beach is building a stadium near their Oceanfront, sooooo...

First of all, I conceded in my original post that I COULD BE WRONG, but you had to take a smartass tone for no reason. And why is it nonsense? You really think VA Beach by itself is attractive for a pro team? Since the other cities could potentially reap the benefits of a team, why is it outlandish to think VA Beach might want them to share the costs of one as well? Lastly, your area is garbage in general, which is why I don't care to follow current events there.

And btw this is an internet forum. We're all here to "hear ourselves talk"to some degree, so miss me with that bullshyt.

Again, a 20,000-seat arena's going to be built by the VB Convention Center at the Ocean Front. They're starting in a couple months. I've done research on the subject, and the only reason why NBA and NHL teams haven't moved the Hampton Roads is primarily the lack of a suitable venue.

I asked you -WHY do we have to agree- and -did it make any SENSE to you-? If I wanted to be a smartarse I would've said something else...you just felt some type of way about it. VA Beach doesn't have to attract a team by itself...that is not the issue...you were talking about -building/not building an arena- that is a separate issue and something that they can do on their own...not that any other city was asked to or ever denied sharing the cost of this privately built arena. There is already a sports authority for that. But in your infinite wisdom you claimed the cities couldn't agree/and gave "a stadium" as an example. Saying you could be wrong could apply to whether or not a team is awarded or not...but I can see you just shooting ink now.

And while you may feel the area is garbage...that is your bizness...and doesnt mean shyt to me. But, youre speakin on it while not caring about it or keeping up with current events...which means you ARE just talking to hear yourself talk...just like I thought. Sounds like youre lashing out because you don't know what the hell youre talking about and I "challenged/inquired" your perspective. Nah, just cause YOU may do it doesn't mean everyone else talks just to hear themselves talk nonsense on internet forums...miss me with that dumbshyt.
