thoughts on this?
Vancouver does have one big advantage on top of having a ready arena; they have a very strong brand with the Canucks to help prop up any potential basketball franchise. Only a handful of North American markets can make such boasts and Vancouver is by far the smallest market out of that group.

However, with that all being said, if the current ownership group is not interested about bringing a team here, then its all a moot point anyways.
