LEAGUE-WIDE RELOCATION
In order to kick this brand new league off right, we are going to allow a one-time easy relocation for all teams.
Here are the rules for this process:
- Anyone can pick any city and any team name.
- If you want to be an NBA franchise you can. If you don't, you don't have to be.
- No more than one team in a city.
- The city's population has to be higher than 250,000 people.
- People already in a city get first choice on deciding to stay there or not.
- People who want to keep an NBA franchise get preference over people that don't (i.e. If someone wants to be the Boston Celtics, they get preference over someone wanting to be the Boston Beans).
- If you want to move somewhere that already has a team, please WAIT to post your desire until that team has posted saying that they will be moving. (Ex. If you want to move to Cleveland, don't say so until the Cavs announce that they are moving out).
- This whole process is first come, first served (with the exception of the preferences mentioned above).
- You don't need to make a logo or jerseys, but you must at least announce team colors.
- I (or any mod) get to veto any names (so we don't get anything actually offensive) This includes names based on ethnic groups, so no "Indians" or "Redskins".
- There will be a discussion thread for this topic, so please limit posts in this thread to your move request (format shown below).
- You may start posting your city request below NOW.
- Everyone has 36 hours from the time of the last pick of the 1st Round to post their relocation request, after that you aren't moving.
- The 2nd Round of the draft will not start until we've heard from all 30 owners, or that 36 hour time limit is up.
PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR LOCATION AND NAME WISELY BECAUSE AFTER THIS ONE-TIME CHANCE TO MOVE THERE WILL BE A VERY STRICT SET OF REQUIREMENTS TO RELOCATE
I'm requesting that all owners post their desired location in this thread. Even if you are not moving, please post the following information so that other people know not to wait on your city.
-Current City/Team Name
-Requested City/Team Name
-City Population (approximate, easy to find on Wikipedia or Google)
-Team Colors
