It would be cool to have a team here and if Sacramento, OKC, Memphis and Indianapolis can have teams, why not Baltimore? But Seattle and Las Vegas are widely considered to be on deck for expansion franchises.

Baltimore is sandwiched for football and baseball but Baltimore still has support for those teams. Baltimore could support a basketball team.

Its all a money thing, dealing with diminishing returns on leagues. What owner is going to want to cram a new team in a packed market when they could go out west to a open field.

I disagree it's a packed market is all. The DC and Baltimore metro areas are incredibly affluent with a moderate amount of stuff they can spend their money on. This isn't like Florida where people completely ignore even good teams at time like the Heat and the Marlins. Baltimore has a pretty rich basketball history. Any team and owner would do well here

Baltimore has a pretty good basketball history with notable players like Carmelo, Mugsy Bogues, David Wingate, and Reggie Lewis.

Don't really see how naming players matters. Most people who go to oriole and ravens games couldn't name you more than a couple players either. And I doubt after a decade most could name Baltimore Colts players when the ravens came back. To this day around Baltimore you see more bullets gear than Wizards stuff.

Youre googling the wrong basketball league bud. The bullets you are talking about was in the ABA. They didn't "disappear" in 1954 they were absorbed by the NBA

Man talking to people like you is insufferable. You say no one has seen a Baltimore Bullets team since 54 because you know nothing about Baltimores history with basketball and just googled it and saw the wrong info from the ABA team. And then instead of just admitting you were wrong still try to frame it like you know what you're talking about.

Yeah, it’s almost certainly not gonna happen in the next couple decades because of that, and even then, the other reasons people have listed make it pretty unlikely.
