I picked Kansas City, but why the ???? is Mexico City on the list? That seems a VERY odd choice considering that none of the other big 4 (MLB,NFL,NBA,NHL) teams are in Mexico at all. You would also have a language barrier issue, I don't ever see that happening

Louisville would be interesting. As would KC. Weird how the NBA has no presence in Missouri.

Actually, I think Cincinnati would be a good choice. Barring Cinci, I voted for Vancouver, I think bringing in another Canadian team makes sense, particularly one on the west coast.

I'll say STL to make up for the departure of the Rams.

Most of these cities have lost NBA teams or are over saturated media markets as it is. NBA has already over extended itself.

I'd like to see Vegas get it, and with the new hockey arena it's very plausible.

Maybe Baltimore too.

Louisville's arena is not allowed to hosti an NBA team, so that's unlikely. Kansas City seems likely. San Diego would have two teams nearby in LA, I don't see why they would add a team there. Maybe Cincy.

Kansas City or St. Louis make sense and a team in St. Louis could create a rivalry with Chicago. Vegas may be possible, but I believe that San Diego needs to build a new arena first. Vancouver is another one, but I wonder if they could maintain the interest.

The only two on that list that I know have had NBA teams are Kansas City (Sacramento Kings) and San Diego (Los Angeles Clippers)
