I know they are just trying to squeeze the Seattle ownership group but dumping a historic NBA city for Mexico feels very in line with Adam Silver’s NBA

Why would they have picked Las Vegas over Seattle?

The league is reportedly using Mexico City as a potential alternative to pressure Seattle’s bidding group into raising its offer.


Clearly they didn't have an issue with the offers in Las Vegas.

Its not about picking Vegas > Seattle. You have to add (2) teams regardless. Its about getting more money for Seattle.

This has to just be a tactic.

Dudes don't even want to go play in Toronto. I highly doubt anyone of substance would want to sign with Mexico City.

Lebron should take his talents to Mexico and build a super team

New Orleans would no longer be the least attractive team for free agents!

Can’t wait for the first Twitter rant from a player that has a weekend of diarrhea and has to miss a game

Memphis is less attractive than NOLA. LeBron said Memphis is the worse.

Legalized sports gambling nationally.

Expansion teams in Las Vegas and Mexico.

What is the over under on the next NBA point shaving/officiating scandal?

First year?

Seattle (and Portland) has a major problem with state and local leadership. There are rumblings from agents about the egregious taxation in these areas.

High earners want no part of the pacific northwest.

This kind, with the bit entering in the inner corner of his left eye.
