| I heard a rumor that since Milwaukee is most likely going to relocate within the next decade, they might come to Austin or Vancouver and Seattle will get a new team, with a possibility of Vancouver or Las Vegas |

| St. Louis or Kansas City has a very small chance I heard too. |

If Seattle gets a team, then the East would need a team.
Minnesota, Memphis, or New Orleans would have to move over to the East if you want another team out in the West. |

| How it would work is minor realignment with Memphis and probably Minnesota. |

Basically here's how the stuff will go down
- Seattle will get guaranteed 31st team when expansion occurs - 32nd team will be awarded to Austin, St. Louis, Kansas City, Vancouver, or Las Vegas
Milwaukee will relocate to another place (whatever city is the most feasible and most cost-effective) that wasn't given a 32nd ballclub
Sacramento is staying put. |

| Expansion is probable with the new commish Silver. Not at the moment because he's just getting stated, but the guy is a moneyman and I'm sure people want 32 teams and not 30, because I'm one of the few that are tired of 30 |

MLS is tired of 19 and now they're going to start expanding to 24, the max amount you can have with FIFA regulations
NFL has 32 teams
With 32 teams, you can have an even amount of teams with each conference making the playoffs, which makes it a 50/50 chance instead of uneven percentages.
With 30 teams, 8 teams make the playoffs and 7 don't. No me gusta |

| I'd like to object to Minnesota relocating, but the T-Wolves are 26th in attendance while being a top 15 team, less that 2k over the Gophers. |

@extemmas All of those locations I have mentioned are cities in the West. This means if Milwaukee does relocate to the West and two new cities join the West, two cities (I presume Memphis and Minnesota) will join the East to make it even.
@dpack Minnesota won't relocate |

Austin would also support an NBA team very well.
There would be a good amount of sell-outs every Friday/weekend there's a home game. |

Lol you're in Georgia that's why you're saying that Atlanta is like the only relevant city/area in that state
NYC and LA don't need 2 teams either, right? |

lolno. Atlanta only needs 1 team.
I'm fine with LA and NY having 2 teams. 4 teams in 1 state is too much, I don't care how big the state is.
Sacremento needs to go.

It's too bad the Kings franchise is covered and they won't leave Sacramento now
And it's too bad that Austin is being surveyed for expansion |
