- Start date
They're just moving to Potomac Yard? People were acting like Woodbridge or Fairfax was getting a team lol.
I'll miss hitting the metro and walking out to Chinatown and into the arena but I'm not in the DMV anymore so oh well.

Yea Woodbridge would be wack as hell. Potomac Yard might as well be DC
NOVA just looks so unnatural to me. Place is just confusing
Man I got a lot of thoughts
- The writing is always on the wall. I used to work downtown and that area used to be poppin. But it was plagued by was high school kids loitering outside of the adjacent McDonald’s and chipotle. Such a small thing, but that alone probably slowly driving people (white people) away. A ton of retail spots closed even before the pandemic and it escalated after
-Born n raised in Alexandria. As an adult lived a mile away from Potomac yard/Crystal city. It’s definitely an up and coming rebranded area. People completely forgot about Amazon headquarters moving there also. So…..I get it. Just off the new influx of highly paid locals, they have enough to have a fan base. It’s very much an Oakland to San Francisco type of move
-Kind of a tangent but it’s WILD to think all the money and ripple effects on 2 states and multiple communities this has when we’re dealing with 20-25 years olds , and in this case Jordan Poole. Jordan Poole, the most unserious ngga of all time, is related to political and geographical reorganization that will mold city planning for the next few decades

Basically. A lot of folk used to dip into Potomac yard after partying in the city, bc it had the only IHOP around
I actually saw KD there once
The lockout year when they had all those summer league games, there was one at UDC. I go to IHOP that morning and there’s KD leaving dolo like he wasn’t about to play in 2 hours

i wish cities had control of their names. these owners want the clout that comes with the city name, but don't actually want to be in the city. should be forced to drop washington.
Reality Check
Keepin' it 100
It would be blocked by the Wizards because it's within their territory limits, even with the move to VA. Believe NBA Territory rights extend 75 miles from where a team is located.
Also, if teams are added, most likely it'll be Seattle and Vegas.
True, I ain’t hip on the territory rights
Yeah it’s a forgone conclusion Seattle and Vegas getting expansion teams I was more so speaking to a team like the pelicans or the thunder relocating
