Why the Washington Wizards should and should NOT move the team

There have been talks and rumors that the Washington Wizards may move to Virginia. The last team to switch locations to a different state was the Nets who moved from New Jersey to Brooklyn, New York in 2013.

The Wizards have been in Washington since 1998 at the Capital One Arena. Before that, they were in Landover, Maryland at Capital Centre under the Capital/Washington Bullets name. For 10 years (1963-73) they were based Baltimore, Maryland as the Baltimore Bullets. They won their lone championship here in Washington, D.C.

They have been a fixture in the DC culture.
