Louisville metro area is apparently 1.27 million. OKC is 1.35m for comparison and that's the smallest in the league currently. They certainly love basketball enough there for it to work and if the NBA was cool with them sharing an area with the college team they'd be all set, but you'd imagine it would be behind Seattle, St Louis, Kansas City and others in the queue. e: actually looking again the Jazz in Salt Lake City are the smallest metro area currently with 1.17m pop. tanglewood1420 fucked around with this message at 04:33 on Feb 10, 2017 |

I don't think it's a great idea as the league doesn't have the talent to stretch even thinner.

Louisville also happens to be right next to Cincinatti and would probably compete with Memphis' market in Missouri and southern Indiana. The issue always comes down to the purchasing group that can convince a commissioner and other owners that they'd totally bring more profits to the league and not just suck on a TV contract titty.

I don't see what Louisville would offer to the league. Local TV contract would be crap and they'd generate some of the lowest revenue in the league. I feel like if the league wanted to expand they'd be going for Seattle.

NBA fan map based on facebook likes (eh, it's what we have): https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/05/12/upshot/12-upshot-nba-basketball.html from 2014 so probably overrepresents the Heat and underrepresents the Cavs and Golden State compared to now but it's a reasonable starting point for how far each team's appeal spreads. St Louis and Kansas City are both in the middle of the practically blank Lakers territory. I'd guess if the league wanted to expand it would make sense to add two teams for a round 32 with 16 in each conference, so one team back in Seattle (with the Supersonics name and jerseys) and then the other in either St Louis or Kansas City would make sense. I don't think there's any sense in having a second team in Canada now that Toronto seem to have successfully turned themselves into Canada's team.

After Las Vegas (who may or may not be getting the Raiders soon), I believe Louisville is the largest metropolitan area in the nation without a professional sports team. I don't think it's a terrible idea, Kentucky as a whole is basketball crazy and they could easily grab fans from all over the region. They really need Papa John or whoever to put together a good ownership group, but I think there's potential for a team there.

Looks like Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Cincy, Vegas, arguably Tampa, and even Raleigh are also bigger markets with no strong affiliation.

Oakleys gonna be banned, or let back in with some stupid rule like he can't sit near Dolan anymore, Dolan will continue to be unbelievably wealthy, thus destroying any hope of karma actually existing, and Phil will probably assemble a bunch of aged vets around King Zing before riding off into the Montana sunset

I'm a St. Louis native transplanted to KC (well, Olathe, which is about 15 minutes south of KC), with no NBA affiliation. And not only did KC build a big shiny arena for the purpose of attracting an NBA team, but St. Louis kinda just lost its NFL team. GIMME
