I thought the reason Vancouver lost its franchise was because, the owner never had any intention of keeping the team in Vancouver and wanted to move it to his hometown of Memphis from the get-go. Hence, he only owned the team for one year in Vancouver.-"You can’t run from me. I mean, my heart don’t bleed Kool-Aid."
-"“I ain’t no diva! I don’t have no blond hair, red hair. I’m Reggie Evans.”

Oh ya, and forget Vancouver. We need a team in Dr. James Naismith's hometown of Almonte instead.

NBA in Vancouver
That would be a dream come true - but - Vancouver is a hockey town and a football town. The local sports outlets barely acknowledge the NBA and that's probably because there is no demand from the people living here.
I have reached the point where I still enjoy football but the gratuitous violence in hocket and the unbelieveable attitude of many players towards their opponents is a real turnoff. In the NBA, the players show their respect for the opposition - and there is lots of physical play in the league, its just done without the "padding" that the NHL now uses as weapons to illegally mug each other.
Also the no fighting rules would not appeal to the boys in Vancouver - they seem to need their weekly hit of violence.

Vancouver needs to get the team back with the right ownership in charge. Vancouver jumped the gun with the team expension, they should have waited at least 5 years after Toronto did.
