possible Magic move to Kansas City

[Donatello]

I just implemented it in my Dynasty (I had the my magic team move to my town- Kansas City)- but alot of people don't know that it's a real possibility. I thought I'd start a thread to discuss it.......

The Magic might be moving to Kansas City.

Or at least that's what Kansas City hopes.

We have what Kansas City wants most (an NBA team), and Kansas City soon will have what the Magic want most -- a new state-of-the-art arena with all the money-making luxury suites and amenities that come with it.

"Why wouldn't we be interested in the Magic?" Kansas City Mayor Kay Barnes told me earlier this week. "We're interested in a courtship with any team who's interested in us. We need an anchor tenant for our new building."

That new building -- a 20,000-seat, $250 million beauty that will be the centerpiece of a new downtown entertainment and convention district -- just was approved by the voters of Kansas City. It is scheduled to open in 2007 and already has a corporate title sponsor and, thus, a name: The Sprint Center.

Everything is in place except the team; and the Magic are the perfect candidate -- or shall we say the imperfect one. In Orlando, the team is on shaky financial ground and has been rebuked by civic leaders in its attempt to get a new arena. After last season's miserable finish, the Magic's season ticket base has plunged to a paltry 6,000 -- miniscule by league standards.
