Interesting concept Montrael...thequestion istho how many people in Montrol are actually basketball fans compared to hockey there...just like Vancouver i think the reason Vancouver lost their franchise is because there are not that many basketball fans there...no support.So next question is how many and which other canadian cities would actualy support a basketball team

Montreal can be a great destination for an nba team, but I think Calgary makes a good posible second option,

I know there are so many nba fans outhere, here in Calgary it would be awesome if shaw tv had an nba league package, don't you think?

I think Montreal and Vancouver are the most viable options. I would suggest a Canadian owner this time though.

No. Canada does not have market for another team.

A new team requires a new owner. I don't see anyone rich person wanting to create another team.

If a city is willing to put money in for a new stadium and cover any losses, then maybe.

Cities that deserve a team before cities in Canada:

Kansas City
Las Vegas
Seattle

I didn't see this forum and made one just like it!
I think Calgary would be okay but I think the NBA would be better of in the USA, why break even when they could make money some wear else? Montreal is a possibility.

No, Canada doesn't deserve another team, not too big of a fan of having teams in other countries. I mean Canada themselves should work on building a stronger basketball league within Canada, the NBA is worried too much about expansion. Pretty soon the NBA will have a lot of its high caliber players playing in foreign leagues, although basketball in Canada doesn't seem like too much of a threat for the NBA.

It depends. I could see one in Montreal but that's about it..

Putting another team in the NBA will be more exciting... Create another competition and that will make players work harder
