Yeah, it isn't an indictment to say we aren't getting an NBA team, its just math. There is a list of NBA metro areas here:

There are 30 teams - if we got an expansion team we'd be the 28th team by size of metro area. Without US cable bundle economics, selling tickets in Canadian dollars. There are US metro areas twice as big that would get teams way before we did.
