I didn't know Quad City was in the CBA.
Mr. Reeths, where did you hear QC was going to the ABA?

They were in the NBA at one time (They were the Tri-Cities Blackhawks, which became the Milwaukee Hawks, then the St. Louis Hawks and are now the Atlanta Hawks), but that was decades ago. Of course the Pistons began in Fort Wayne.

I didn't know Quad City was in the CBA.

The Quad City Thunder won two CBA championships, in 1994 and 1998. They were in the league in the 2000-2001 season when Isiah Thomas ... well, let's not go there. The last vestige of the Quad City Thunder was when they finished their 2000-2001 season as a member of the IBL. The franchise folded after that season.
