[Clark] "The Pelicans made a push for Dejounte Murray before the trade deadline. They land him now. Lead guard with size who can take some of the creation load off of Zion. New Orleans liked his contract a lot. Owed $25 M, $27 M, $29 M next 3 years."

The most eastern team in the most eastern state will. Which is us.

It gets explained every time this is brought up why Minny makes more sense and is more likely.

It doesn’t make more sense. We are the most eastern team in the eastern most state that has a large chunk of it in EST.

One thing that gets brought up is traditional MN rivals are in the east. This is also true for Memphis and for the state of Tennessee.

The other big point is travel logistics, but it’s fairly close and that doesn’t outweigh the biggest point: the easternmost team in the easternmost state.

You're right. It doesn't make sense you ignore all the good reasoning bc you want your team in the west bc it's easier lol.

You haven’t offered anything other than “someone else explains it”

I want them in the east because I live in eastern time in the home state of Memphis, and 10:30 game times fucking suck.
