Markets, Money, and rivalries. Dallas/Houston, Dallas/Santone rivalries are interesting and intriuging. Denver and Boulder rivalries are boring. Just a mater of how many big businesses are willing to put up the big bucks and how much money will nba make.

In case you haven't noticed, Texas and California are the biggest states in the lower 48. Why shouldn't they have more teams?
yes they should expand...send the lakers to alaska

This is a big damn state. Maybe El Paso should get one too.
What's your argument for the East Coast?

A lot of teams on the east coast are in close proximity to each other and no one seems to care.

Or is it that you are sick of the fact that the teams from Texas and California make the playoffs on a regular basis.

There are 30 teams in the NBA, where do want them to expand, Idaho or Iowa (don't think you would sell many tickets)
Dude...hello. Texas and California have more big cities and are two of the top three highest populated states in the country. Simma down now! Of course they're going to have more teams than say...Montana or Wyoming.
i agree but Texas and Cali are the biggest so y not give them more the teams or good but the best are the Spurs!!!.....................GO SPURS GO
Dude, I could drive north for 20 hours and still not be out of Texas, it is a very big state. Look at a map man. I live in Rio Grande City, Tx, mapquest it and see from my part of texas to the pan handle border.
Yeah right, Texans like their football, not basketball. I don't get it either, and I live there. Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio are all in the eastern half of the state too.
Texas is huge and has populated metropolitan areas, and by the way California has 4 teams.
