Why?

Oklahoma City just proved they will support an NBA franchise. They were given the opportunity, and passed it with flying colors.

New York deserves a basketball team. Miami could use a NBA franchise too.

I wish Missouri would've gotten another look for a team.

Let me clarify by saying that the NBA should NOT expand, but if you're going to move a franchise to a city, Oklahoma City probably shouldn't be it. There are several other markets that would probably do better supporting a team.

A 2nd Chicago team?

I doubt there's a fanbase for it, really. The Bulls have a huge loyal fanbase. Til this day, I still wonder why Los Angeles has 2 teams.
