There are no reports that anyone is stepping up in New Orleans to buying that franchise and keeping it there in the city.

Vancouver and Seattle would at least have two rivalries right off the bat, should they land an NHL franchise (Whitecaps and Canucks would be instant rivals with Seattle Sounders and ______). If Vancouver could land an NBA franchise, it'd be three rivals. that'd be sweet. Do you think Aquilini still has interest? Or is there fear that an NBA team could take interest away from the Canucks? (IMO, I don't think that'll ever happen).

Two different markets. NBA will do fine in Canada and the MLB would be in the summer and only have the CFL as competition.
