I don’t want 32. Might as well stay at 31 and ditch the NBA Cup.

Wish the Pels would move to Seattle.

They're definitely going to add 2 teams to keep the conferences even, even if they have to realign some teams, I reckon, yessir.

The Luka backlash gave Silver the opportunity to duck the topic during AS weekend.

Notice that it's always a delay tactic when it comes to Seattle expansion.

"NBA Europe" seemingly has no such delays though.

Why does Las Vegas need a full time team? There is already the Vegas Golden Knights, Las Vegas Raiders, Las Vegas Athletics, NASCAR/NHRA, UFC, NBA Summer League, WNBA, AAA baseball, AAA hockey, AAA soccer there, essentially.

Has Mexico City, or Vancouver BC done anything to warrant a team?

That’s why I say, expand to 31 teams. Ditch the NBA Cup, and make all 31 teams have 40 home games, with the 41st home game being an NBA International Series, or NBA America Series (Las Vegas mainly, but teams like San Antonio in Austin, Memphis in St. Louis, etc).

I’m all for going to home games, but the NBA is missing the boat by not having some more international games like the NFL is trying to do. The league does the Paris Games, and that’s basically it.

Adam Silver expects NBA owners to urge "formal" expansion talks.

James Dolan is leading/building a contingent of owners against expansion.

Dolan is contrarian by nature. He seems to raise a stink whenever something is being proposed by the league. But I don't see that being a real roadblock.

Well...

If the owners vote it down...It's their loss.

They won't see a dime from me.

It looks like J. Dolan may be more persuasive than expected.

I imagine there are multiple groups of owners against it:
expansion outright
expansion this media deal
domestic expansion

I've been skeptical all along that the owners are going to give up a permanent share of their revenue.
