What team should be relocated and where?

If you had the ability to relocate a NBA team, where would it be and why?

To me the most sense would be to move the Clippers to Anaheim.  It would benefit the organization because they wouldn't be playing second fiddle to the Lakers in terms of locker room space.  They also wouldn't have their schedule shifted for the Lakers (Sometimes the Clippers play at weird times so the Lakers or Kings can be at staples in a better time slot)

Clippers to ANYWHERE.  Obviously, I'm a bit partial for someone to move to Kansas City, but the Clippers need to move to SOMEWHERE ELSE if they ever want to be looked at as a serious organization.

I'd like to see the Clippers relocate to San Antonio so the Spurs could have *away* games turned into no travel rest and relaxation time, perennial bottom dweller opponent etc.
Also Dallas moved to the Pacific Division.

I revise my pick.

The Clippers to ANYWHERE that doesn't already have a team.

Knowing Sterling, if there was money to be made doing it, he might take up Reality on his suggestion.

IMO Move the Kings to San Jose...
The reasoning behind it is that Sacramento doesn't have an arena nor do they have plans for one... San Jose has an existing NBA quality arena currently used by the sharks in a major market. In this economy especially in California existing arena will be the key to relocation

Move the Clippers to Anaheim
Southern California would be great place for NBA rivalry and separate arena would allow Clips to establish its own fan base and not be as much of a little brother. Again, arena is already in place.

Move the Hornets to Seattle or Kansas City
Seattle is a good sports market and if they can get an arena. It would be good for the NBA to have team to Seattle. Kansas City, who has arena ready, would be back up if Seattle really doesn't want back in then NBA.
