I dont know man, the LA market can contain two franchises. Staples Center is right in the heart of downtown, and even though it was built 11-12 years ago, it is pretty state of the art. Traffic is a biotch, but thats LA. And if traffic is the biggest set-back, thats pretty legit
I don't see a way to build an arena at a better location, and I don't see someone trying to move away from the 2nd biggest market
Damn sure Cuban would upgrade their facilities though. Dont know what their current Clips training facility is like, but Cuban would make it better no doubt

Interesting. That's a lot of locker rooms.

Re: Clippers Staples Center lease expires in 2013-2014
If the Clippers played in the Honda Center, I would buy season tickets... and I'm not the only one. Orange County and Los Angeles may as well be two different states. The Clippers will never beat the Lakers in popularity in L.A., but they could carve themselves a nice, lucrative nitch in Orange County with the right marketing.

The economy is just booming in OK right now and most Oklahoman's have gratuitous amounts of disposable income. Keep on pumping that clean green compressed natural gas 'Merica
Kings would jump on that shit in a minute.

Why would the Clippers move, especially right now with the way the team is doing? Winning games with two exciting players, I'm sure AEG will do whatever they can to retain the Clippers as I'm sure they are making a great amount of money with both NBA squads

Yes. I remember seeing a special on FSN about the locker rooms in the Staples Center and there are four just for basketball purposes. The Clippers, Lakers and Sparks have their own and one for the away squad.

i live 5 mins from honda center. so yes. anaheim. bring the earthquake blake home!
the anaheim area makes a lot of sense. they can share the market with the angels who also have the 'LA' name and also have the fanbase to compete with the real LA fans.

The Clippers need to move to a different location unless they are sure they can take down the Lakers in LA popularity-wise.

Even though the Clippers put the lights back on in the forum ,
I still think the Seattle Clippers would work real well.
