They are looking at Sacramanto, New Orleans, the Grizzlies, Indianapolis, and Milwaukee for NBA franchises. Sacramento has a March 1 deadline to get their plans together, if they want to keep their team. IIRC they want a NBA team before they build and look at a NHL team.

The mayor says there will be no direct money invested by the city and they will be careful not to get into a situation like Glendale [didn't mention Glendale per se]
They need two teams to make it viable.
