Comment on Adam Silver Says Decison on Expansion Will Come in 2026

I think they’re doing it but are just trying to get the most money out of the expansions fees as they can.
I do get you’re splitting revenue but I think adding Las Vegas and Seattle would bring in enough revenue to justify it.
Now after those I’m not sure what other markets could support enough to justify it to the existing owners. Maybe Vancouver? I know Mexico City gets brought up occasionally.

Yeah, for sure, they’re trying to maximize fees and revenue and, because of that, it’s hard to believe the teams would go anywhere other than Seattle and Vegas. NBA already tried Vancouver and it didn’t work out so great, but I’ve heard the appetite may have changed now. I would absolutely love to see a team in Mexico City, but somehow I doubt that’s likely.
