Bill Simmon's says NBA is expanding to Seattle and Vegas with Lebron as potential owner

[Optimus Prime]

The Ringer founder Bill Simmons says he has “intel” that the NBA will expand to Las Vegas, and that LeBron James will be apart of the ownership group.

“I have some intel,” Simmons said on the latest edition of The Bill Simmons Podcast. “I think the league is going to expand to Vegas and Seattle.”

Simmons then doubled down on his “intel” and claimed Lebron James will be a part owner of the new NBA team. “If I had to bet on a Lebron scenario, it would be for him to be involved with whatever happens with that. Where he is the point man of that Vegas team. And I haven’t heard that mentioned. I don’t care if it gets aggregated because I think I’m right.”

Simmons claimed he even has info on how much the two expansion teams will cost. “I heard combined we’re talking 6.5, 7 billon of the two teams,” he said.

“I’m just saying the Vegas thing I would watch that,” Simmons added. “I think it’s officially real — Lebron is definitely going to be involved in that.”

It was one of the few passionate NBA markets.

You have a lot of NBA markets like NO who don’t even like the NBA and have a team yet one of the best NBA cities in terms of fanbase is without a team

 

[DoubleClutch]

If anyone, Lebron should own a team..... he already is LeGM after all

and the NBA desperately needs expansion cause Russell Westbrook and John Wall need their own teams

 

[Jplaya2023]

[Tony D'Amato]

[Jerz]

Vegas was always getting a team after they built that hockey arena

 

[Rigby.]

It’s been time imo. Absolute peak in NBA caliber players, Grizzlies like 18 deep with guys and Hawks just pissing away rotation caliber guys bc they can’t combine all those young dudes into one deal. It’s time

The Sonics died out big time the last 4-5 years they were there. Still should've never sold to Bennet and moved the team
