Would you say the Cavaliers will prevent Pittsburgh from ever truly being considered as an expansion site?LakerLegend wrote:Ducklett wrote:LakerLegend wrote:
Tampa will not get a team as long as the Magic exist, they are far too close.
Why? There is no cross pollination in the market shares and each of the markets has 3 million households in it, making them both top 20 markets each.
The NBA will not cannibalize itself like that. Orlando is what, 90-120 miles from Tampa? Of course they draw fans from Tampa.
It doesn't make any business sense to put a team there over more isolated markets.
100 miles is nothing, I think realistically the NBA wouldn't any new team within 200 miles of an existing team.
