Should the Clippers move to a different Location?

Does anybody think that the Clippers should move somewhere else? I think they should move to Anaheim and play in the Honda Center. The Anaheim Clippers sounds great also. Whats your ideas?

    I agree..they would make more money and have more fans..Anaheim and the OC have a lot of sports fans.

    -Lakers dont wanna share with the clippers..

    WIth the recent lifetime ban of Donald Sterling, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver is forcing Sterling, who had been considered one of the worst owners since he purchased the then-San Diego Clippers in 1981 (the team moved to Los Angeles in 1984), to sell the team. Many look for the team to be sold to another member of the Sterling family, another interest who would keep the team in LA (ex. Magic Johnson), or he could sell the team to a city and move the team out of LA. Cities that are clamoring for a NBA team are Anaheim (where the Clippers played games in the past), Louisville (city has two arenas-KFC Yum! Center and Freedom Hall), Kansas City (Sprint Center), St. Louis (Scottrade Center), Las Vegas (city would love to get a NBA team and it has hosted the All Star Game), New Jersey (lost the Nets to Brooklyn, this area would be a longshot but it has two arenas-Izod Center [former home of the Nets] at the Meadowlands in East Rutherford and the more recently built Prudential Center in Newark [home of the NHL's Devils]), Pittsburgh (CONSOL Energy Center), and Seattle (front runner on many lists since the SuperSonics moved to Oklahoma City-would have to play at the outdated Key Arena until a proposed new arena is built). In a nutshell, the Clippers will be in LA, Anaheim, Louisville, Kansas City, St. Louis, or Seattle.

    Yes(But To A City Which Has No Nba Team Like Kansas City)

    Because They Have Always Been The Shadow For the Lakers Even in Their Good Time

    So If They Move

    1- They Will Have More Fans

    2-They will Make More Money

    3-Become more interesting An They Will Shine

    4-They Will Give A State That Loves Basketball But Has No Team A TEAM.

    They should move to Edmonton and call themselves the Alberta Clippers.

    that or the Calcutta Clippers

    Sorry about the expunsion team names..

    Seriously, I agree they should move to Anaheim and the Honda Center or to San Diego if they built an NBA quality arena.

    Two NBA teams in the same building on a permanent basis is weird and stupid in my opinion.

    Plus, supposedly the Clippers have always drawn well in Anaheim.

    Whenever the Lakers play the Clippers, it's like they have home court every time. I mean even if it's a Clippers home game at the Staples, there are (probably) more Laker fans so if these two teams meet in the playoffs, Lakers have home court advantage throughout ...lol

    Why would you move a team out of the biggest NBA market in the country to Anaheim. They couldn't even keep the Angels from adding L.A. to their name because they didn't make any money and the city has been unwilling to make the necessary investments to bring revenue to the team.

    yes i agree with you!

    because if clippers still in L.A it's not fair because Clippers fans is lesser than lakers fan!

    so if clippers move to anaheim it will great for anaheim!

    Anaheim's interest in sports increased dramatically.Anaheim is also ranked the 9th most popular city in California.They should move them out there because sharing the same stadium with the Lakers is a Bummer.

    No, I don't think they should move. It's L.A. why would you want to move. Anaheim, ewww. F mickey.

    If they do move, they should go to Mexico City. Lot's of people there that is willing to pay. I bet it would be sold out every game even if there in last place. It makes sense, Mexico is basically the 51st state or is that Puerto Rico.
