It is way different market now; the population has grown and there's more money to go around compared to the 90's and imo Vancouver could support another professional team in Vancouver. I'm sure any attempts to relocated a existing team to Vancouver will be met with a lot of support locally including from Steve Nash and on top of this exhibition game, the Raptors will be holding their training camps here so it does look like the NBA is interested in returning to Vancouver.

Well there were rumors that the Canucks owners were in talks with the Pacers owner to move the team last year. There's several teams that are struggling in the NBA so only way Vancouver will get a team is through a relocate if the NBA allows it but it all comes down to the bucks.

^ that was cuz Pacers couldn't re-negotiate a deal with Conseco Fieldhouse to play there next season, but they got it done recently (city of Indiana bailed them out)
however, Canucks owners have openly expressed interest in relocating an NBA team to Vancouver before... so glad we don't have ownership problems this time around

I think the NBA is going to bend over backwards for cities that could be a relocate for a current nba team. Some markets right now are brutal. Steve Nash backing such a move with some billionaire would be a welcomed initiative.

They do refer to themselves as "Canada's Team".
Canucks Sports and Entertainment have good marketing people working for them. They have the money, but David Stern is a stubborn mule. I would bet that Seattle or San Diego get a team before Vancouver does.

there will never be another team in vancouver, how do you hand an expansion team over to a guy, like stu jackson, who has never ran any team? who drafts steve francis when he was on full on drama queen mode and told them he didnt want to play in vancouver. passing on great players in that same draft class. if the grizzlies had a do over and drafted properly they would have a stack team. and another thing who the fuck gives a country ass hillbill that monsterous of a contract? the grizzlies were conspired against since day one. aside from bibby, shareef, n othella harrington, antonio daniels everyone that ever played for the grizzlies disappeared just goes to show you how well the expansion draft went for the grizzlies. im out like michael dickerson's knees
