Should the Lakers move back to Minneapolis?

I know most of you guys will trash me for this one, but if you take a look at the greater picture, I think it would make sense.

First of all, Minneapolis is the original home of the Lakers, that’s were it all started, that’s where the Lakers dynasty was built.

The move to Los Angeles in the 50’s was a very smart business move back in the days, no doubt about that. L.A. offered the perfect setting to turn the Lakers into a global brand.

However, today the Lakers don’t need L.A. anymore, the brand is big enough to live on it’s own and go back to where it belongs! The Lakers have the vast majority of their fans outside of L.A. anyways, so apart from the Hollywood jerks, they wouldn’t really loose anything, and they would win back a real die heart home fan base in Minneapolis.

With the Lakers moving out of L.A. the door for the Clippers would be wide open of course. I think they would quickly benefit and develop into a huge big market brand. This would certainly be a good thing for the entire NBA.

Last but not least, of course the T-Wolves franchise would have to end. But as the people of Minneapolis would get back their Lakers, I don’t think too many people would shed a tear about this loss. It is common sense that the NBA needs a reduction of teams, so this would be a good way to start.

So all in all moving the Lakers back to Minneapolis would be a great thing for the Lakers, the Clippers, the city of Minneapolis and the entire NBA!

If that were to happen then we might as well move the Jazz back to New Orleans, the Hornets back to Charlotte, the Thunder back to Seattle and the Grizzlies back to Vancouver.

Hell while were at it if you really wanna go back to each teams original roots move the Pistons back to Fort Wayne, the Warriors back to Philly, the Hawks back to Milwaukee, the Rockets back to San Diego, the Clippers back to Buffalo, the Nets do their move as planned to Brooklyn and the Kings can go back to Kansas City, too (Stern will be happy. So will the Maloofs, I think).

Also, Lakers were originally from Detroit (the Detroit Gems were the foundation for the Lakers).

Also, how bad would Stern sh*t himself if he had no teams in California, three teams in New York, two in Indiana, two in the Great Plains, two in North Carolina, two in Pennsylvania, two in Wisconsin, and two in Canada?

    I don’t want to bother to read your ridiculous article but I don’t think the lakers need to go back to their original city because los angeles became a solid home for them especially the fans and besides los angeles is a wealthy city and even if one day the lakers became a rebuilding team again,the fans will still watch them unlike the Minnesota fans today look at their games at home their are more seats than people lol.

    No. Because the Lakers become a dynasty with Los Angeles. The stars of Hollywood hopes are within them.
