If Toronto can't keep players, then what makes you think that Vancouver can? Vancouver is still seen as a backwater by the ignorant players (which constitutes 90% of the NBA.)

K you guys are simply trippin on the Raptors this is their attendance record with a medicore team
2011 - 16,371
2010 - 17,897
2009 - 18,773
2008 - 19,435
2007 - 18,258
2001 - 19,347
2011 they lost Bosh but are still filling in seats. Toronto raptors is a solid franchise. Stern is disappointed about moving the Grizzlies in the first place. TO went through the same struggle and now their Franchise value tripled.

Vancouver will NOT get a team if the NBA keeps the soft cap that they have now but with the new CBA agreement the salary caps will be similar to the NHL's with a NFL type of Franchise Tag.
So for example we can put a Franchise tag on Chris Paul and he HAS to play for Vancouver. Plus teams wont be able to super stack their team.

even with a franchise tag and a hard cap, Vancouver will have to overpay to keep/get legitimate franchise players
overpaying for players = unscuccessfull franchise

^vancouver in the NBA will be like Edmonton in the NHL. overpaying players that dont want to play there. sure you may get some good players, but the players have to fit a system.
the difference between a shitty team and a good team is a good team signs players that fit a specific spot in the puzzle, a shitty team team signs whatever players they can get, and try to build the puzzle around them

sports are a business first and foremost, people who do not understand the business aspects of professional sports franchises look at a failing franchise that continues to get high first round draft picks as a "team that will be good one day"
the simple matter of the fact is, regardless of how many excellent first round players you get during season after season of horrible performance, if you cannot attract the key players you need to compliment/develop those first rounders you will -never- win, if you need to pay a guy who you think is needed as a role player on your team 1.35 times what a good team would have given him, that extra money on the table just handcuffed a position deeper in the line you will need to be a contender.
Like the Oilers/Raptors, Vancouver could get pick after pick but they will almost certainly toil in mediocrity for many many years upon their comeback, and like the oilers/raptors, will almost never be in contention for a championship.

If Chris Paul doesn't want to play here we should trade him to Goldenstate for Jeremy Lin, Stephan Curry and David Lee + draft pics.
Most likely after the CBA Chris Paul wont be able to leave so even better if they move to Vancouver put a franchise tag so therefore he aint leaving | 
Why are you talking like Vancouver/Aquilini has already been granted a team? What's this "We" stuff and trade speculation?
We, as in Vancouver, do NOT have an NBA franchise.

Canucks have been shitty for most of their history . Does that mean it was a mistake bringing them here in 1970? Should we have waited until the last NHL CBA was inked before we thought about expansion? It's called sports, not guaranteed win night.
Who knows what the new NBA CBA will look like? Maybe China will start mass producing basketball players. Or maybe not, whatever. If it works financially, we should bring one here just because it's more fun to see more sports.
I don't like soccer, but I'm not gonna shit on the MLS cuz I know there's ppl who do like it. Good for them.

NBA talk has heated up since the new arena planned in Sacramento are running into problems.. Nothing official on NBA coming to Vancouver: Aquilini
cliff notes
1. The dollar at par, growth of the city and the corporate infrastructure could work
2. The NBA has said that they ADMIRE how well CSE(canucks sports and entertainment) has grown and operate
3. RogersArena is NBA ready. if the NBA were to host a game there tonight, it can be done
4. Competing with the Canucks for the same dollars, does it work

Good ol' Stu. He was the GM for US Basketball in Athens in the 2004 Olympics. How can you possibly fuck up on that. Even if a lot of the Star Players didn't join, you had AI and TD in their prime. Just add a bunch of semi all-star veterans willing to win the Gold Medal and you're set.
