Think I have Phoenix figured out, but the rest are fair game. Looking forward to sharing these with everyone as I continue the save!

Brooklyn, IMO, should always have a pro team. If you wanna bring back a historic name while adding some history to your league, might I suggest the Brooklyn Atlantics. The Atlantics Base Ball Club was one of the many teams in the boro during the late 1800s. I assume they played along Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn (can't confirm). If so, it would tie into my next piece of trivia: when Walter O'Malley lobbied for a new stadium, the plot of land he wanted is where the current Barclays Center sits - the intersection of Flatbush and Atlantic Avenues.
Vancouver would be a great natural rival for the Seattle Orcas and would open up a market for potential expansion into Portland.
