NBA Expansion Vote Imminent: Las Vegas and Seattle in the Running for New Teams

The NBA is set to make a significant move during All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles, with the Board of Governors planning an initial vote on adding new teams. Las Vegas and Seattle are the top choices, with a three-fourths majority needed for approval. The goal is to launch these franchises by the 2028-29 season. Commissioner Adam Silver has confirmed no current teams will relocate, aiming for a final decision by the end of 2026. Fans remember Seattles SuperSonics, who left for Oklahoma City in 2008, and both cities have arenas ready for new teams. Each new team could cost between $7 billion and $10 billion, potentially leading to a Western Conference team shifting east to balance the league.
