The NBA is expected to select the winning bid for ownership of the Las Vegas expansion team in the very near future, with a price of at least $12 billion to $13 billion for the franchise and a new arena, from among three finalist groups -- Nancy Walton Laurie and Bill Laurie; Steve Apostolopoulos and Marc Lasry; and Bill Foley and Jerry Colangelo -- sources told ESPN.


TLDR: New Arena coming. Las Vegas will be awarded first. Losing bidders can pivot to Seattle if they want.

You are basically bidding $8B for the team, $2B for the Arena and an additional $3B for all the events you can host on the 300 other nights the NBA is not in town.

Having the NBA Vegas team will be a liscense to print money.
