Why don't the L.A. Clippers just move to San Diego?

I have always thought the Clippers would be better off in a new city. They will always be treated as the bastard step-child when they are in the same town as the lakers. But moving a team to a new city might be tough right now because of the economy. But the biggest problem with the Clipps is that they have an owner who semms to care way more about the financial potential of owning an nba team rather than actually trying to win.

If they ever move it would to be to Anaheim, but Anaheim would have to cut as good or a better deal than what they have at Staples Center.

Its also tough for a city that doesn't have basketball at all to attach themselves to such a perennial loser like the Clippers.

Anaheim is full of Mexicans and we all know Mexicans are Lakers fans.

It's unfortunate that they have to be in LA. LA is lakers land. No one cares about the Clippers. Unless, they are playing the Lakers, the tickets are a lot cheaper to see the Laks.

San Jose.

Its such a large city and doesn't have much to compete with the Clippers in the area in terms of professional sports.

Works fine for Utah

They should move to Anaheim or San Diego. L.A. Is a Laker town. Well, 2004-2006, the Clippers were the flavor of month. But it'll never happen. Donald Sterling is an L.A. Native, he clearly doesn't care about making his team a consistent winner, and the front ofice is a joke. I don't think they even have a professional facility, to practive and train.

I could've sworn Anaheim was a lily white city. Whenever I watch Angels games on MLB Extra Innings, the fans inside Angels Stadium are mostly white. And yes, I'm an Angels fan in NYC (Yankee fan first).

Need another team for the area.

They actually opened their new practice facilty and team headquarters this past September. If you're familiar with the Westside of L.A. (or just L.A. in general), if you're heading south on the 405 towards LAX, it's just west of the freeway near the Fox Hills Mall and Howard Hughes Promenade. You gotta search around for pictures...I've seen pictures of the interior, it's mighty damn impressive.

Sacramento is only an hour+ away.

Why don't they move to Mexico City? There are like 20 million people living there, I'd think they could sell even more tickets than they do in Los Angeles.

California is already pretty well represented in the nba. There are 4 teams in the state alone. If Clipps were to move, it would most benefit them to move to a state without a team that would be more likely to embrace them.

E.Gor and Griffin together? FTW

THATS RIGHT.

Kind of irrelevant, I've been wanting to say this for some time, but....

Why the **** would you be a Clippers fan when you live in the same city as the ****ing Lakers? I never understood that. At all. It's like choosing Copper over Gold...

Personal choice? Something you like about the team? Not into bandwagons?
