    Mahomes Wants Raptors In Kansas City Next Season

    The Toronto Raptors are being recruited by one big-name athlete as they search for a venue to play their games next season.

    Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes reacted to the news Monday that Louisville was an option for Raptors’ games this coming NBA season due to Canada’s ban on travel from the United States. Mahomes enthusiastically suggested that the Raptors should come to Kansas City.

    The Raptors are currently the NBA’s only team based in Canada. The Blue Jays, Canada’s only MLB team, faced a similar problem this season and played their home games in Buffalo, N.Y.

    As for Kansas City, they have not hosted NBA basketball since the Kansas City Kings relocated to Sacramento, Calif. in 1985. Mahomes himself played basketball in high school and once even got into hot water for partaking in a game of pickup hoops. Thus, he is obviously an enthusiast of the game and would love to see the Raptors make their way to town.

    The sprint center in KC is practically a brand new venue with no tenant, its a very smart move to play there

    Now may not be the best time for a city to invest in a major sports team.

    Nashville is among the cities being considered as a temporary home for the NBA's Toronto Raptors, according to a source with knowledge of the team's plans.

    Raptors officials visited Nashville earlier this week, the source said. Bridgestone Arena, home to the NHL's Predators, regularly hosts the SEC men's basketball tournament.

    The Raptors have previously been linked with Louisville, Kentucky, and the general New York/New Jersey area. As recently as a few weeks ago, the team was still hopeful that they would be able to remain in Toronto, but that seems more and more unlikely given how the pandemic is surging across the United States.

    Due to the proximity to other Atlantic Division teams, as well as a multitude of travel, lodging and facility options, playing in the New York/New Jersey metro area makes the most sense. However, if that doesn't work out, Nashville would be a realistic option. It has an NBA-quality arena, and is centrally located such that flights to a majority of other NBA cities would only be a few hours.
