But 99% likely, barring a rash of injuries, that one of those teams will win.

Milwaukee Bucks president Peter Feigin said Monday that the NBA could buy the franchise and relocate it if Wisconsin's state legislature does not approve public funding for a new arena in Milwaukee.
Addressing the legislature's finance committee at an informal hearing, Feigin warned that the NBA could purchase the team and move it “Las Vegas or Seattle,” according to the Milwaukee Business Journal.
The Bucks hope to begin construction on their new arena this year but are waiting for the state to approve $250 million in public funds. Construction needs to begin by October or November to prevent the NBA from beginning a search for new owners, Feigin said.
The Bucks' lease at their current arena expires in 2017 and the NBA does not want the team to extend it, Feigin said.
The arena is expected to cost $500 million to build, with Bucks ownership contributing $150 million. Former Bucks owner Herb Kohl, an ex-United States senator, will pay $100 million. The remaining $250 million will be publicly funded, including up to $220 million potentially coming from the so-called “jock tax.”
Because of its aging arena and small market, Milwaukee has long been rumored as a franchise that could be relocated. When the team was sold last April, new owners Wesley Edens and Marc Lasry vowed to keep the team in Milwaukee.
They could be, but Memphis works well with New Orleans and the Texas teams. If the Bucks move, that would create a gap in the Central Divsion, and Minnesota does fill that better geographically than Memphis would. If you move Memphis it might mean you have to move a third team, maybe OKC, to fill Memphis's spot and have the Bucks take OKC's spot in that division. Minnesota moving would be easier.clenz wrote:Bucks on the move?

I know Minnesota has, for some time, wanted into the East for geography reasons. A division with OKC, Portland, Utah and Denver just doesn't do it for Minnesota compared to Chicago (share NFL, NHL and MLB conference and divisions with), Indy and Detroit (share NFL and MLB conference and divisions with used to share NHL) and Cleveland (share baseball division).GannonFan wrote:They could be, but Memphis works well with New Orleans and the Texas teams.

I don't disagree, and that's why I think if the Bucks moved it would be easy to switch Minnesota to the East. I think they fit better than Memphis does since Memphis serves a purpose in the West by allowing a full division of teams in the LA/TX area.clenz wrote:I know Minnesota has, for some time, wanted into the East for geography reasons.

The longest trip in that Division is Cleveland - less than 2 hours by plane - is closer in air travel and road miles than the closest team in their current division.
Along with the geography/natural rivals it moves the team to the Eastern Conference, where they'd have a much better chance to compete for a playoff spot. Last years Wolves team wasn't any/much worse than the Bucks, a playoff team in the East
Don't think they had a chance to mess it up - both Towns and Okafor will be stars in the league for the next decade.Gil Dobie wrote:Looks like the Timberwolves finally made the right choice with Towns being rookie of the year.
