These are college towns, and IMHO, will never support and NBA team and their exorbitant prices. Yes, there are plenty of us that will pay $250 twice to go see an NBA game during the year, but there is not enough to support 14-16K fans for 41 dates. And there is NO WAY they can sell the luxury boxes and $1,000 court-side seats.

The 17th largest city in America is a college town? Cincinnati with 4 Fortune 500 companies and two Fortune 30 companies is a college town?

I agree that they would not sell out 41 games, but they could get the boxes sold. In a state that has a MAJOR difference in money from the top to the bottom of the economic scale would have people that love to flaunt it.
