CNNSI Writer: Kansas City A Likely NBA Destination

Contrary to my opinion that it is less likely a team will come to Kansas City after Seattle's move, CNNSI's Ian Thomsen believes it can happen. Here is hoping he is right on this.

I can't imagine an existing team moving to Mexico City or Vancouver, which lost its franchise to Memphis and isn't going to get another chance. It's in the best interest of Oklahoma City owner Clay Bennett to find a team to move into Seattle over the next five years, which would prevent him from having to pay $30 million in franchise alimony to the city of Seattle for bailing out on his lease. But the most likely home for the next nomadic franchise is Kansas City, which has an arena owned by the Anschutz Entertainment Group, which has deep NBA connections.

I am still not convinced it happens anytime soon.
