Orange County Clippers?

[bdreason]

There was some talk/rumors a couple years back about the Clippers possibly moving to OC/Anaheim. Possibly the Honda Center, although my guess is the Honda Center is probably too small. Anyways, some new talks about moving the team to Orange County have started, with the idea now being to build a completely new Arena.

Nah, we're good with LA and Staples.

[Fiasco]

We don't need a new arena, just a new owner.

50% of the Clippers' appeal is that they play in Los Angeles. Zero chance they move.

LA baby
Lakers and Clippers 2 great LA teams.

Staples and Honda Center are 30 miles apart, they'd still call themselves LA.

Clippers signed a 10 year lease extension in 2013.
They are staying at Staples Center till 2024.

They would probably do something like the Angels did.


The Los Angeles Clippers of Anaheim or the Los Angeles Clippers of Orange County.

I don't think the lease matters if the team is sold.

[LoneyROY7]

The Clippers aren't leaving Staples any time soon.

[Bodhi]

I don't think the lease matters if the team is sold.

It would matter, but there's probably a buyout clause. And the new owners might want to get out of the lease because the Clippers are basically second class citizens in Staples Center

They have a tiny locker room compared to the Lakers and Kings and the Lakers get priority when it comes to scheduling games. So the Clippers always end up having to play games on New Year's eve while the Lakers get basically every Friday night

[MMM]

Didn't the Clippers used to play in the duck pond a few years before moving into Staples. Don't see why it would be an issue to move back.

[qrich]

So when the Clippers were mediocre, they refused.

Now they are balling and should accept it?


Would be idiotic. Might as well move them to Lancaster or Simi Valley

If they do move to OC, shouldn't they change their team colors to,I don't know.... Perhaps orange?

[AnaheimLakers24]
