The NBA lockout remain in play (does anyone notice) and commissioner David Stern says on an ESPN podcast that the league is seriously considering contraction.

That means the league will reduce the number of teams from 30 to probably 28.

"[Contraction] is not a subject that we're against," Stern said. "In fact, when you talk about revenue sharing, a number of teams have said that if you have a team that is perpetually going to be a recipient, aren't you better off with the ability to buy them in? Because between the revenue sharing and the split of international and the TV money, we could almost buy them in with their own money.

So if contraction comes into play, which two teams are more likely to go?
