|  Aquilini Group interested in bringing NBA back to Vancouver
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1...pitch-to-simon
Rumors are starting to spread that Francesco Aquilini, owner of the NHL’s Vancouver Canucks, is reportedly expressing interest in purchasing the Indiana Pacers and moving the team to Vancouver, B.C.
Pacers co-owner Herb Simon are working as hard as they can to work out a new arena deal with the Indianapolis Capital Improvement Board and says he doesn’t want to see Indy without an NBA team.
Simon, could be using Aquilini as leverage against the Indianapolis Capital Improvement Board.
But former Sonics owner Howard Schultz also used Clay Bennett as leverage against the Washington State Legislature. And now the Sonics no longer exist.

Vancouver Pacers...... no zing in it.. buy better than an Oklahoma Thunder.
I like how ambitious Francesco is.... However, the Aquilini group is not as wealthy as John McCaw

Bring NBA back!!!
The low seat sales in the past forced the Grizzlies moved. Hopefully more basketball fans will purchase tickets if we are having another NBA team.

It was not the quantity of posts it was based on quality.
Only a few ROOGP are left on RS as most of the ROOGP got fed up of the BS that the new breed of Post Whores are putting up in here. | | |

I read this in the Province today, but they say it's only a rumour...it would be awesome if it was true! Last couple years I went to Seattle to watch the Sonics, but now they're gone, closest team is Portland! I'm not sure if David Stern will allow the move...when Vancouver left, didn't he say that putting a team in Vancouver was a bad decision?

Stu Jackson fucked up the grizz and got a sweet job for the NBA as VP of Basketball Operations..
I hope Vancouver can get another NBA franchise. A team that can actually win and not put all their hopes on a stupid center from Oklahoma/Arkansas..
