Jones and Wilt Chamberlain as player-coach, but faced arena issues and financial struggles, eventually folding mid-season in 1975 as the San Diego Sails, missing the NBA-ABA merger. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe franchise was founded by Leonard Bloom in 1972 as the ABA's first — and as it turned out, only — expansion team. They would unintentionally replace both The Floridians and Pittsburgh Condors franchises, who folded earlier that same year, since both teams initially sought after San Diego as a potential relocation site for survival before ultimately folding operations on their ends. On August 7, 1972, Bloom announced the team would be named the Conquistadors, complete with a profile of Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo, who had landed on the San Diego Bay on September 28, 1542.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54038310748271,"sku":null,"price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/2488\/8943\/files\/q7.jpg?v=1786803027","url":"https:\/\/mickscollectibles.com\/products\/the-san-diego-conquistadors-white-pennant-aba-basketball","provider":"Out In Left Field LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
