It's irritating how so many people think that nobody showed up to the games and we deserved to lose the team. It was a complete fabrication by Michael Heisley after he blatantly lied about his intentions when buying the team
In hindsight it was objectively a terrible business decision as Vancouver would go on to become one of the wealthiest cities in all of North America. Not only that but basketball is and has been wildly popular here for a decade plus
Everything about that relocation was just so, so slimy. Stu Jackson and Michael Heisley are 2 of my least favorite people of all time. Making poor draft choices and not having a great team for 6 years is not enough to warrant relocating the franchise, and I think any sane fan would agree.
I was a very sad 11 year old when they left
