They've made it pretty clear that L.A. is going to get a team whether it wants it or not. The current powers-that-be have said they think 32 teams is an ideal size, so that would leave us with a current NFL team moving to L.A. Who will it be?

A year ago most would have said New Orleans, but that seems highly unlikely now. My guess would be that the raiders would see the least opposition, since they were in L.A. for years already, and they are so horribly bad now.
L.A. has a history of taking sports teams away from New York, and that is the only city with 2 teams currently, with both playing in the same stadium. But the plans are supposedly under way to build a new stadium, which may or may not rule out the moving of the Jets or the Giants. Maybe that state's third team, the Bills could be a candidate.
If I had to put money on it, I would reluctantly bet on the Raiders, but anything is possible.

The San Francisco 49ers are actually going to move to Santa Clara, California by 2012, but they will keep the name (San Francisco 49ers).
Here's an article that talks about the move:

To answer your question about a team moving to Los Angeles, I would have to guess that most likely, the Oakland Raiders will be moved to Los Angeles. An article that I just read said that they would move a TROUBLED team to Los Angeles. The Raiders are definitely one of the most troubled teams in the NFL and they're in the same state so it shouldnt be too much of a hassle. Another possibility is for the Rams to go back to Los Angeles but since St. Louis is so far from Los Angeles, I don't think it'll happen.

enlargement crew is more advantageous than probably what's going to finally end up in L.A. in the journey that they get a crew in any respect. fact is that no crew needs to bypass to L.A and play interior the Coliseum, yeah communities have stadium themes yet L.A lost both its communities by way of stadium themes and any kit to get a crew ought to ought to include a cutting-side stadium, and lets only face it L.A isnt going to construct a stadium.
