Adam Silver says league, owners ‘not quite ready’ to discuss expansion
на канале: Trend TV
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver recently stated that the league and team owners are "not quite ready" to discuss expansion, despite growing speculation about adding new teams. Silver acknowledged the increasing interest in expanding the league, particularly from cities like Seattle and Las Vegas, but emphasized that other priorities, such as the financial recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing discussions with players and stakeholders, need to be addressed first.
Silver did, however, note that expansion remains on the NBA’s long-term radar, but it's a complex process that requires careful consideration of market dynamics, competitive balance, and the league’s overall economic health. While fans in potential new markets are eager for an announcement, Silver’s comments suggest expansion will be a future discussion, not an immediate priority.
