GTFO.

3 NBA championships, bad boys, goin' to work team.

Talk about ignorance. NO team is good ALL the time. Not even the Celtics, or the Lakers. You don't move a top 5 franchise because their players age and they rebuild.

Atlanta/Milwaukee are better candidates...

Just pulled this from espn out of curiosity..Here's the bottom 5 teams in the attendance rankings(percent of arena filled.)

5.Wizards 78.1 %
4.Kings 77.8%
3.Cavs 77.6 %
2.Bucks 77.0%
1.Pistons 63.1%
That's just not even close..


That's mostly because The Palace is really big, average isn't good either but there isn't 14% not even close type difference.

Detroit needs something to cheer for. Either a superstar type prospect (they have two allstar potential players but they aren't that hyped) or a playoff team. Second should happen in couple of years, unless Dumars screws FA again.

Doubt Toronto gets relocated, seems to be in the interest of the NBA to expand internationally.

Love your sig. :lol:



Once the Pistons start becoming good again, ticket sales will go up. I'm sure of that. How long that takes is a different question though.

Thanks. Turbozone (a poster from the raps board) creates most of these great raptor sigs on Realgm.

Milwaukee. The Bradley Center is outdated and I don't see the city building a new arena in a city with multiple sports teams already.

What? Seriously, explain why the raps should get relocated.

king cb4 clearly has an agenda against the TDot I wouldn't take his opinion seriously :lol: :lol:, But anyways back to the topic the top 4 candidates imo are Minnesota, Milwaukee and Charlotte and Atlanta they have a playoff caliber team almost every year yet there arena always seems to be empty.

Relocations don't happen because a bad team has bad attendance. Its when there is no more room for future market growth. Detroit is not being located. If they were, the Hawks would have been in talks long ago. I think its the Bucks or potentially Memphis if this owner doesn't show he wants to spend money.

If Detroit was a playoff team, their attendance would still suck. The city is in a crap hole right now and the population has severely decreased since tge last time the palace was full. The Bobcats are MUCH worse and have way better attendance.

Also, get rid of Atlanta. Those ungrateful bums dont deserve an NBA team, or any pro sports team for that matter. Seattle would happily take their franchise.

Toronto has more money than all but two or three teams in the league. Plus, I'd echo all the previous comments about market size, growing fanbase for the game in Canada, and so on.

No chance whatsoever that team gets moved.
