Does anyone think the LA Clippers should move to Anaheim?

Yes, they should move to Anaheim. There is a bit of a rivalry between the Lakers and the Clips. Even though LA is big city, it's wrong for two teams of the same league and sport to play in the same arena. There should be some breathing room between the two teams. Also, they should mark their territories in the Sothern California area. In the end, now that the Clippers are a good team just about every city/state wants them, but with Disney Land and all, they'll fit in great in Anaheim.

to inconsistent this year.  Bottom of the east.  So the answer is no.\n\nGo Wings!!!

Sure they should...\n\nYes, they had two teams. Two teams that made no effort to improve themselves, yet wanted the city to pay millions in taxpayer revenues to build stadiums that the team owners would get to use FOR FREE....And frankly, the loss of the Raiders was no loss...the fights in stands were more entertaining than the team...\n\nYes, it would be different now because the league would fund a great deal of the construction costs, the NFL has \nnot had a team in the 2nd largest media market in the country for over a decade, which has cost the league MILLIONS in advertiser revenues and TV contact money. All a owner has to do is put a decent product on the field and fans will come. With a new stadium, this should be a lot easier. Just look at the Lakers and Clippers!\n\nLA is NOT a soccer city, you forget about USC & UCLA! Their teams draw huge crowds, so can a Pro football team.\n\nAnd a far as the blackout argument, you wanna watch other games? Great, buy NFL Sunday ticket through your Direct TV and watch what you want....

I also hope LA Clipper but I think they will get it next year. They need experience for this year.\n\nIn my opinion, I guess Spurs will win NBA.

Probably Suns but I would like to see the Clippers.

Teams currently seeming to have stadium issues always will use a place like Los Angeles as ransom for their current locations to ante up.  Seems to me that makes the list of potential LA:  Buffalo, Indy, Kansas City, Minnesota, New Orleans, Oakland, San Diego and San Francisco.\n\nOf this group...odds are KC will get something done for the Chiefs;  Vikings, were they to move, seems to be looking more like San Antonio;  and the Saints, were they to move, likely to stay somewhere on the Gulf Coast.\n\nBills does have another suitor just north of the 49th in Toronto.  Colts have also been mentioned with Toronto as possible, as well.  Admittedly, Toronto is a large market of 5 million-ish, but the flux of currency values make it not too inviting at the moment.\n\n49ers, it seem, are now heading to Santa Clara.  Not sure if this deal is done, but I suspect they will stay somewhere in the bay area.\n\nRaiders...well, it is Al Davis, and they could end up in Honolulu, Bakersfield, or any of the towns named Springfield yet.\n\nChargers do strike me as the most likely.  They have stadium issues to the point where they need a new stadium if they want more Super Bowls played in the area.\n\nIf I were a betting man, I would say we could see two teams in LA.  Most likely the Chargers or Raiders from the AFC, along with an expansion NFC team.

Yes they have a lot to play for. Although they have clinched a playoff spot, it's possible for them to move up to 5th place depending on if they win and a couple of other teams lose. I hope they can move up. They've been playing really well over these last games.

I doubt that Moreno would move the Angels.  They have a very large and devoted fan base in Orange County, a popular, comfortable stadium in a prime location, and are a major fixture in the Southern California community.  And consider this, what other large, well-known Southern California city other than Los Angeles or San Diego is there for him to move the team to?  Remember, the whole name-change plan was to align the organization more closely with the Los Angeles area.\n\nPersonally, I don't especially like the name-change, but I can understand the reasons for doing it.  Considering where the Angels are, maybe the Orange County Angels of Anaheim would've been a little better!  Not much, though!

The Clippers are handlin business this year.  They've beaten many of the league's elite teams.  They have a solid starting five and can go 8 deep when they're healthy.  If Cassell returns, they'll make a serious run at winning the West next year.  I am a huge fan and its good see them starting to win consistently.  LET'S GO CLIPS!!!!!

No, they are a 500 club right now and they dont look like they are willing to make the changes to be better.  That puts them roughly in the 8-9 spot in the west. Also, they probably will have a big injury in the next few months.  Maybe Kobe, Mabye Lamar.  A loss of either one of those guys for a few games would pretty much close out any playoff chances.

I think they should stay in Oklahoma City.  Clearly we love them much more here in Oklahoma then their home state!

the answer is no. they are young and rebuilding. the problem is the same one that the clippers ran into for so many years; if they develop a high draft pick into a decent player, he leaves after his contract is up. examples jermaine o'neal (POR to IND) and Brent Barry (LAC to SEA) Latrell Sprewell (GS to NY) Shaq (ORL to LAL).

I agree with you about this team's potential down the road, especially if Grant Hill can stay healthy...Orlando is a very deep, talented, versatile and intelligent basketball team...I'd like to see them and Cleveland in the Eastern finals

The Lakers and Clippers play at the Staples Center. Their schedules are coordinated by the NBA so they aren't both at home at the same time.\n\nIf the Staples Center were to become unavailable there are several other arenas in the Los Angeles area where they could play. Among them are the Forum in Inglewood, which was the Lakers previous home and the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena, which was the former home of both teams.

I actually think so. They've done some really good moves to bolster the team - the trade for Thornton being paramount. The main reason isn't so much based on the strengths of their own team (even though they showed some stamina against the Preds tonight and got the OT win) as other teams above them in the West right now faultering. I predict Anaheim and Colorado out of the playoffs in 15-16 games time and the Sharks sneaking into that 8th spot.

well they are trying to build up a fan base there first, and as they are broke it would be a good idea for them.\ni heard it may be in about 5 years though..

Not until they relocate to the US.\n\nCanadian Taxes are a killer to recruiting Top players, this has been the reason when top free-agents shy away from Canadian teams.  Remember when Steve Francis was drafted by Vancouver and refused to report?  Think how T-Mac and Vince Carter both left for weaker teams back in the US.\n\nConsidering that you need 2 or 3 top players to win a championship, the Raptors will never be able to have the talent to win it all.
