00:00The NBA will hold a vote at the Board of Governors meetings March 24th and March 25th
00:04to explore adding expansion teams exclusively in Las Vegas and Seattle.
00:09With the two franchises targeted for the 2028-2029 NBA season, sources tell ESPN
00:15there is momentum for stakeholders to approve.
00:17100% Joe, they're going to approve both of those cities, no?
00:22I agree. And listen, there may be more coming even after that.
00:26I mean, who are we kidding here?
00:28If there's an appetite for it, and given the kind of money with the new TV deal
00:33and media rights and everything else that comes along with it now, yes, now would be the time.
00:38And they've been talking about this for a while, Donnie.
00:40It was just a matter of time.
00:42It feels like this is just all formality now.
00:46It does seem like that.
00:48And how about this?
00:48Because with changes, like we even see it in Major League Baseball, Joe.
00:51Hey, look at the Houston Astros, the other American League.
00:54Of course they are.
00:54No, they used to be the National League.
00:56Milwaukee Brewers, Joe.
00:57Whoa, they're all – no, no.
00:58It used to be the American League.
00:59Things need to change.
01:01NBA Central says, you know what?
01:02Two teams, if they're coming in, Joe, geographically, Las Vegas, West Coast, Seattle, West Coast.
01:07Teams have to move.
01:09The Timberwolves or the Grizzlies are expected to move to the Eastern Conference
01:12if the NBA approves expansion with Las Vegas and or Seattle.
01:16How about that?
01:17Moving away.
01:18Yep.
01:19Yep.
01:19Listen, we're just shuffling the deck here, Donnie.
01:22That's all we're doing, trying to maximize, you know what, the bottom line and the dollars
01:26and the eyeballs.
01:28And, you know, sorry to some of those fan bases that might not have a team anymore.
01:33Sorry about that.
