They could contract the league by getting rid of teams with two teams in one city. YOU say Memphis doesn't need a team, but if thats the case why do SOME cities need two teams. Yeah the market is bigger but wouldn't there be more fans for one team if they contracted the cities with two teams? I don't think contraction is the answer. People like having teams in their cities. Or we can go your route and get ride of all the Non major city teams.. Hell while were at it lets move every team to NY, L.A. Miami, Dallas, and all the major cities. They can just have inner city clug fests between which guy has the most money. Don't be a douche.

A Memphis fan making fun of an "inner city clug fest", whatever that is? Lol!

Memphis is, and always will be, a D-League franchise.

it was a joke. a bit of sarcasm a bit hard for you to grasp? My point is made. If there are more teams it will be more competitive if they can find a way to make those teams more close to equal. The more teams the more people from different areas will get behind it. Is Green Bay a big marketing area? Is Pittsburgh? Point being is they want to expand and get more fan bases backing more teams. Shrinking the league makes less fan bases, less chance of expansion, less money to be made in the future. Small minded people tend to think Small thoughts. Maybe you should go back to school and take economics?

I get your point. For example, since Knoxville doesn't have an NFL team, there are little to no NFL fans here. Same with NBA, no team in Knoxville, no NBA fans. I totally get why contraction wouldn't work! Thanks for the lesson in economics.

Problem is though, the NBA could expand to 50 teams and Memphis is still a D-League team.

And how is that? And I think Knoxville isn't a good example. Putting any pro team in Knoxville would be bad. Why not Memphis. We have UT to root for. Nashville has the Titans. WHY not give them Memphis. But you still haven't said how it would help the league to contract it. Why would that be better. There are way more negatives than positives. And you would be making the same argument as me if they were going to get rid of the Knicks. The NBA IS going to find a way to keep all the players from going to a few certian teams that are in high market areas. Its been a big issue this year. I don't think anyone has thought contracting the league is a good idea. Because it is not..

Contracting the league would do wonders for the NBA. It's watered down right now. There are too many players that do not belong. Contract it by four teams and you'll get rid of about 30 players that are not NBA talent.

Everybody loves to hate on Lebron and Miami, including me, but that was good for the league. Imagine, in its current state, the Lakers would not have been able to have a team with Magic, Worthy, and Kareem. I hate the Lakers but I'll admit that they were fun to watch. That's what the NBA needs to get back to.

Residual benefits: imagine what contraction would do for the D-League, it would get even better. Small markets that could never dream of having a NBA franchise could field a D-League team. It would take fringe players sitting on the bench in the NBA and let them start and get better. That would probably trickle down to college a little bit. Maybe a couple of guys a year stay in school because its better for them than D-League.

I'm not sure that I disagree with your argument on contraction, but this paragraph carries no weight to me.

If Deron Williams stays with the Nets you might be right but only time will tell if he will. The Jazz get a good PG, a guy who at worst will be a league average offensive PF that will be a beast on the boards, and in all likelihood 2 lottery picks. It's a pretty even deal.

heard a rumor that Jerry Buss was in favor of league contraction. His plan was for each owner to throw in 20 or so million and buy out a couple franchises. Then have a draft with the remaining teams and players. I think it was on Petros and Money show.

I know one ownership group, Atlanta Spirit, who don't have 20 million.

I just feel bad for you guys. Your star player has basically one year left because of his knees and Oden will never do anything.

What makes you think that? Is it the fact that this 19-year-old rookie averages a double-double every 36 minutes or that he shoots 51% from the field?

Good trade for both teams IMO

Nets get a "star" PG to hopefully lure a couple big time players to Brooklyn

Jazz get an above average PG and a big potential player in Favors
