Which NBA teams will be moving soon?

While Oklahoma City was a great success, New Orleans should get the team back and rally around there sports franchises.  Especially with the Reggie Bush mania going on.  The Portland Trailblazer are having some major issues that need to be sorted out or there a real possibility.  St. Louis is a great sports city and I beleive they would be a great NBA city as well.  Honestly though, since I live in Sacramento, if the city and the Kings owners (Joe and Gavin Maloof) don't come to an agreement soon on a new arena deal, the Kings will be outta here sooner than later.  Anaheim is dying to take the Kings or any franchise.  And what about Vegas?  The Maloofs would have a hard sell on convincing the league to go to Sin City but the Maloofs are based in Vegas.  Those three franchises seem to be the one who would be moved if such a thing did occur in the relatively near future.

Even if they change things around starting now it will take more than being ready next year.\n\nWhen ever a team makes the mark the Chicago Bulls did with Micheal Jordan & Company the expections or always wanted again I think they will find players and be a good team again because of the pressure of the City & Bulls Fans but it will not be next year.

Miami Heat\nOrlando Magic\nUtah Jazz

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.

The only correct answer from anybody is they do not know. It is too early in the season to give an accurate answer as to any NBA team making the playoffs right now.

Who will make it\n\n1 detroit- Still have the most solid starting lineup in basketball.  May make coaching change in off season. (But shouldn't)\n\n2 miami- Have major talent but have room to improve at the point guard position.  Jason Williams turns the ball over too much and Gary although solid as a backup is 37 years old.\n\n3 Cleveland-  Major momentum and have room to grow, need to sign an extension with lebron and find a major playmaker.  Lebron needs to develope defensively.\n\n4 Chicago-  Solid team will only get better with a great lottery pick.  Could use some front court help after losing eddie curry to the knicks.\n\n5 Indiana- Injury plagued season killed them but they will pick it up and will show to be very competitive with the top teams.\n\n6 New Jersey- Still need a bench and a low post man besides Krstic.\n\n7 Washington- Will fall off a bit but will still win big games and surprise people as a low seed in the playoffs.\n\n8 Boston-  Youngest team in basketball will only get better with time.  Look for Al Jefferson to put up big numbers.\n \n\nout\nOrlando- Will get close again but still need major pieces to contend.\n\nPhiladelphia- Will see a New York like implosion\n\nmilwaukee- Some good players but not enough to make it this time around.\n\n1 Dallas- Will have the confidence of a possible title and no one will be calling them soft anymore.\n\n2 Phoenix- Amare\n\n3 San Antonio- Tim Duncan can still play and Manu and Tony should get back on track.  Need to find a backup PG Van Exel and Udrih aren't doing it.  Don't count on Horry to make big shots anymore, he played one too many seasons.\n\n4 LA Clippers- Great depth, Brand is the most consistent player in the league and Maggette is althletic as anyone named kobe or lebron.  Great shooters, great passers, and great rebounders equals dangerous.  Look for them to sign Sprewell mid season.\n\n5 Sacramento- They wish last season lasted a little bit longer, major defensive threat.\n\n6 Denver- Still in the middle of the pack, need to settle player/coach issues. Kenyon is a major bust.\n\n7 LA Lakers- Phoenix rematch will be amazing.  Amare will make everyone miss Shaq.  Look for Bynum to play at least 15 minutes a game by end of season.\n\n8 Seattle- They also wished the season was longer.  Wilcox finally playing like the scouts predicted.  Two great point guards (Ridnour and Watson) that can play on the court at the same time and the best shooter in basketball in Ray Allen.  Need a veteran center and a replacement for Rashard who is unhappy.  Look for development of Robert Swift and Ridnour.\n\nout\nGolden state- Can't move the ball\nUtah- Great players that don't fit\nNew Orleans- Not enough for Paul to work with\nMinnesota- MUST MOVE KG OR THEY HAVE NO FUTURE.  Blount, Banks, and Davis all have attitude problems, might be new jailblazers

that is a hard question to answer so telling you now wouldn't really be worth it. Heats, Spurs, Pistons one of the Three will carry home the glory. But i want Heats to win and they can if they get their team in prefect sync. cause thats an all star team you looking at

They're trying to find an identity.  Staudimare isn't in basketball shape yet, then you have Barbosa and Diaw still doing the same things they did last year.  They'll have to tailor their game to best fit the team.  Plus they have to find a role for Jalen Rose.  They'll be fine by January.  Their chemistry is kinda all over the place right now, but so are a lot of other teams out there.  No need to worry, its only November.

The announced this week that they are looking to put a team in Cleveland or St. Louis.  If a team goes into Cleveland, I'd think that it would not be likely that Detroit would get one.

None.  \n\nGive me the Indiana Pacers.

I don't follow the NBA as much as I did a couple years ago, but my picks:\n\n1) Clippers- They have the youth and the experience with veterans. Really deep, all they need is time and determination.\n\n2) Warriors- Jason Richardson and Baron Davis are explosive. Now who else? The Warriors started powerful then died down as the season progressed. They need more talent and a leader who actually cares about the championship.\n\n3) Lakers- Kobe scores a million. Need I say more? Half of this team cares about how their stats look so they can get a new contract worth millions. Right now, the Lakers have no hope. They chose to Kobe instead of Shaq and this is the result they are going to get.\n\n4) Sacramento- This team does look like a mess. But who knows? This could be a surprise. The team that was a favorite to win the West three years ago is almost gone. But Mike Bibby, one of the strongest leaders, still remains. All thats needed now is to decide what direction they want to go to.\n\n-Way2Determined

Even with the new CBA agreement I do not see the NHL expanding any time soon.  A canadian city can only hope thast an American city will fold its team such as Pittsburgh.  If that is the case I believe the franchise would move to a US western city such as Seattle or Portland before it would go to a Canadian city.  Sorry!! but this is my opinion.

the talent pool is currently so diluted, and there is already too many teams... expansion wont happen unless teams start folding which isnt likely. what is most likely is that teams will move into some of the cities you mentioned. \n\nCleveland: that is possible\nOklahoma City: that is possible\nLas Vegas: there has been rumours of that, but i dont think it will happen\nSeattle: they need a new arena to be able to have a team; Portland Oregon is more likely\n\nToronto: Not likely because the leafs like being the only team in town and would have to approve another team entering their market which they likely wont do!\nQuebec City: Always possible\nWinnipeg: the next team that moves will likely go to the 'peg\nHalifax: probably need a bigger arena and a bigger population, but possible years from now\nst john's: probably need a bigger arena and a bigger population, but possible years from now
