Hi everyone, I go by the name Dwright103. I guess you can say
that Im a inspiring writer that enjoys documenting my franchises in my spare time. It is a good way for me to practice my writing while interacting with others. For this thread I will be reporting on my created team the Columbia Predators, which is part of a 4 team expansion in my MYLEAGUE. In my franchise I play all the games down to the last whistle and I never simulate other than the All-star weekend. I have already completed the 2019-20 season, so the game reporting will begin in the 2020-21 season. Before the game reports I will make a post detailing what went on in the NBA during the 2017 season/Off-season and a update on the start of the 2018 season. I dont plan to make post for every game, more of a summary over a 10 game stretch; though important games will get solo post. Other ideas I will work through as I go, hope you guys come along for the ride!

September 20, 2018

NBA owners met over the weekend at the Four Seasons Hotel in N.Y. for the league’s annual Fall BOG meeting. Some of the topics on the agenda included revenue sharing, league rules, and the ginormous kept secret of league expansion.
Commissioner Adam Silver made the announcement during the press luncheon Sunday afternoon that the league would be adding four franchises, upping the league total to 34 teams. Silver stated that the sites vying for the franchises are; New Mexico, Las Vegas, South Carolina (Columbia), Alaska,Vancouver, Montreal, Seattle, and Hawaii.
The league will announce the expansion teams during NBA All-star weekend festivities. The new members to the NBA Fraternity will begin league play in the 2019-20.

NBA Expansion Team Selections Bewildered Some and Infuriated Many

Nearly five months ago the NBA announced the addition of four new expansion teams to the association. The last time a new team entered the NBA was in 1995, the Vancouver Grizzlies. (In 2004, The Charlotte Bobcats, were regarded as a expansion team at the time) The league's popularity has skyrocketed the past few seasons with viewership, merchandise, and superstar players being the major catalyst. This all led up to the historic moment on Saturday afternoon where four new franchises were introduced to the NBA world.
Fans eagerly watched their television sets, as Commissioner Adam Silver approached the podium to announce the league’s 31st franchise. However fans from the two front running locations, Seattle and Las Vegas, were furious after their cities were unannounced.
The 31st franchise was awarded to Virginia, 32nd to Alaska, 33rd to Montreal, and the 34th franchise to New Mexico. On Twitter the NBA Community collectively lost their mind.
Three of the selections excluding, Montreal, were long shots when the process began in September. It was almost assumed that Seattle would be awarded a franchise after the SuperSonics left the city many years ago. Las Vegas also, due to the NBA’s newfound openness to sports gambling. When the smoke cleared, these cities would leave the same way they entered…. empty handed.
What will be most upsetting to those fans, is the fact the final franchise came down to a vote between the cities of South Carolina and New Mexico.
When Commissioner Silver was asked about Seattle and Vegas being snubbed, he stated, “Unfortunately we only had four open slots for expansion franchises with eight great cities to choose from. I know fans are upset that during this round a NBA team won’t be coming to their city.” Then silver offered one last glimmer of hope to those fans, “The NBA is FAR from being done with expansion, within the next five to ten years, I see us revisiting the topic once again!”

Pretty cool selections if you ask me. Always fun to have different locations for relocation. I’ll be excited to see how all four franchises start.
