NBA Coming to Vancouver

I’m a pretty big believer that Vancouver will get another NBA franchise in the future. We once had a franchise, but unfortunately, we didn’t have a team. We had very poor management, to put it lightly. But the NBA ‘aint doing so great itself, rumors are always swirling that the league will go through some thinning. You take a look at a market like Cleveland, its likely going to go from boomtown to bustville with Lebrons departure. There are a few franchises in trouble and likely looking to move, Vancouver would be a natural destination. So, when the NBA announces that there will be an exhibition game played at the local Rogers arena, you can’t help but be a little stoked, that is, until you see who’s playing. The phoenix suns taking on the Toronto Raptors to me is nowhere close to a marquee matchup. Yeah, I get the Steve Nash connection, but how many times can you go to the same well? Why not have the Lakers, the Heat, Denver, Dallas, or Orlando come out? The raptors will likely have a better season than most think, but they don’t really have star power. I honestly believe they’re going to have a tough time selling this one out. And don’t tell me that the raptors are Canadas team, because we all know that’s a load of shit.
