1. The franchise you are moving has NEVER won a championship in that city. Never
2. You may only move your team to a city that would realistically host an NBA franchise (for example, a city like Topeka would not be able to support an NBA team, as they do not have the facilities). Lexington KY-It's probally stretching things a little, but hear me out. Lexington lives & dies around Basketball. The fact there is no pro team in our area is amazing. We have Rupp Arena, seats 25K+ & there is a 30K+ arena in the plans. Cinci & Louiville are 1 hr away.
3. You may NOT move your team outside the continental United States.
4. You must submit an application for relocation to the Permission for Relocation board in the Commissioner's office.
5. Your application must include the following: -Specify reasons for leaving- It's Toronto-enough said
-Set a timeline of where you plan on your team being from years 1-5 I think I will compete this year but no matter we will have a ton of cap space next year (30K+) to put us over the top
-Get permission from other team if you are moving them to city with another team.
-If moving them to an unoccupied city, you must state why the city you want to move to would want you to move there. Lexington all we know is Basketball.
-Come up with new name, logo, colors (or you can just keep the ones you have). Lexington Bluegrass Cats
-Finally, it will be voted on by the league, and you will need 2/3rds approval.
6. Lastly, be realistic. If you take over a team such as the Cavaliers or Suns, those teams aren't moving anytime soon. Don't expect to be able to move them here either (same goes for Boston, LA, San Antonio, etc.)

Thought I posted about this a while back, but I'm putting this on hold until the end of the season.
