Vancouver is currently lacking a potential owner. Someone who is willing to step to the plate & deliver. Seattle has that as we speak. A group led by Tim Leiweke & David Bonderman (Billionaire). Both men are well connected to the league. Bonderman is a minority owner of the Celtics. Leiweke worked for the league at one time. They are bringing the NHL to Seattle (Expansion team). Along with the intention of bringing the NBA back as well.

This Vancouver's team, forget Seattle they should have supported their team when they had a chance. The Vancouver Grizzles were the worst run franchise in NBA history no market would support that ****. Vancouver wasn't never given a chance to succeed the NBA even David Stern said they were his biggest regret because he knows he **** a very good market. That team was like 60 games under .500 every year of their existence and they were so poorly managed that they passed on the local product Steve Nash who ended up a HOF.

You stole my post! I feel St. Louis & Kansas City has always been overlooked. They have great fans that would pack out a stadium indeed.
No more Texas teams please.
