Off-topic, but I do hope if they are able to push Sterling out that the new ownership moves this team to Seattle, because that is the city that deserves to have a team.
I didn't think Seattle was such an awful town that it needed to be punished by having a primo uomo team owner inflicted upon it. 
That said, I think Seattle gaining an NBA team is contingent upon it first getting a new arena which in turn is contingent upon it gaining an NHL team. Seattle would be a leading candidate if the NHL were to expand, but I don't see an NHL team that would be likely to move there.
Actually, we have an ownership group (Chris Hansen/Steve Balmer/Nordstrom) that have already gotten a plan to make a state-of-the-art arena, which cannot be built until we are granted an NBA team. So we are actually ready, its the NBA that isn't. Silver has stated that expansion isn't in the works (at least not until after the arena agreement expires). NHL does want to expand to Seattle, but because a NBA team needs to come first, they can't because there is no arena being built.
I'd love to get the Clippers as opposed to another team, since it doesn't seem to have much of a fanbase and LA has the Lakers, but I doubt the NBA will move a team from LA.
