DBWI: Rochester Royals move to Cincinnati

Suppose the Royals of Rochester were to relocate to Cincinnati for the 1957-58 after winning the NBA title just six years earlier.

Where shall the Royals and the rest of the NBA go from here?
 
Well, I suppose Cincinnati would have gotten to enjoy that run in the 70s. Too bad for Rochester that the team ended up settling in St. Paul, MN as the Minnesota Royals.

I'm sure by now there's a statue of Tiny Archibald in the Royals' current building in downtown Minneapolis, correct?
 
Well the 57 offseason did see the Fort Wayne Pistons move to Detroit.

And then the Lakers moved from Minnesota to Los Angeles after the 60 offseason.

It's amazing the Royals lasted as long as they did in Rochester and the Nationals in Syracuse
