Adam Silver teases three potential NBA expansion cities

  1. IDGAF about Vegas having a team or not. Makes sense for the money though.

    But Adam Silver should have to get my ass tattooed on his bald head if Seattle is not one of the cities that gets the next expansion team. It is inexcusable.

    The Sonics need to be back. Period.

  2. Seattle, Las Vegas, and Mexico City

    Seattle definitely deserves it, kinda meh on Las Vegas, and Mexico City is an interesting choice

    Mexico city is a weird area to put an NBA team considering that the city 1. Is going through a water crisis, 2. Is a city that is not full of native speakers of english and 3. Is in country that half of american voters view as a threat to national security for xyz reason

    Would players even want to play and live in Mexico City? I feel like they should add another Canadian team if they go for a team in another country.

    Mexico City? Let’s go with the other two, but if you need a third – I don’t know, Vancouver, St Louis, Pittsburgh, Louisville, Montreal….

    I feel like this is an obvious ‘name 3 cities, only expand to 2, and drive up the price on the expansion bid so that it’s a massive overpay’ gambit. Kind of like what they did with TV rights – 4 partners interested, create 3 packages, initiate a bidding war.

    Shouldnt expansion be in even numbers? How’s the division or conference gonna balance out

  8. Nat_not_Natalie

    I know it won’t happen but Seattle and Vancouver would be awesome

  9. I feel like they have been teasing expansion teams for nearly 10 years now. Either do it or stop teasing them.

    I’d honestly like to see Vancouver and Seattle the most. Vegas overrated as shit

  11. ButtholeMegaphone

    I hate what happened to the Sonics. There shouldn’t be talk of any other cities until the Sonics are revived (and get their records back!).

  12. JRockstar50

    Still waiting to get a team in Detroit again

  13. ShawshankException

    It’s going to be Vegas. Once the A’s get their stadium built, basketball will be the only remaining league of the big 4 to not have a franchise there.

    I just hope the other city is Seattle. They deserve their team and history back.

    Tijuana Piranhas with Gullermo as the GM confirmed?

  15. DJMagicHandz

    1. Seattle

    2. Somewhere in the 757

    3. Vancouver part deux

    Seattle and Vegas. Mexico City won’t happen because the peso is horrible. Same reason NHL doesn’t want to expand more in Canada cause financially US market pays better.

    Kansas City and Cincinnati are blue blood basketball country. St. Louis, Buffalo, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Vancouver, and Montreal would be options.
