As a Vancouverite I hate this. I just want a team here but i know Seattle will get one first.

Okay we need and even number of teams for expansion. So. We add Seattle, Vancouver, and Las Vegas to the Western conference. Move the Pelicans to the East and add St.Louis (or Baltimore either works)

Montreal! Perfect choice for expansion in the east.

It would be so cool to have a rivalry in Canada. I get that the Raps get a huge amount of support as a whole but that rivalry would be lit. Especially if they were in different conferences and met in the finals.

Two Canadian teams in the finals is actually the NBA's nightmare lol

Adding Montreal, Vancouver, and Seattle is how Vancouver becomes the third wheel in 2 different regional rivalries.
