I'm so glad the writing has been on the wall forever and that everybody understands now the next 2 teams are going to be Vegas and Seattle, take it to 32 teams, and have a Memphis or somebody be put in the Eastern Conference to have it be 16-16.
Can't wait for the announcement.

Silver acknowledges 'interest' in NBA expansion
NBA commissioner Adam Silver said Tuesday that there wasn't discussion of expansion at this week's meeting of the league's board of governors but that the topic will be addressed at some point "this season," adding that "we're not quite ready."
"NEW YORK -- NBA commissioner Adam Silver said Tuesday that there wasn't discussion of expansion at this week's meeting of the league's board of governors but that the topic will be addressed at some point "this season."
"There was not a lot of discussion in this meeting about expansion, but only largely not for lack of interest, it was that we had said to them that we're not quite ready," Silver said at his news conference at the conclusion of the meetings Tuesday afternoon at a luxury midtown Manhattan hotel.
"It was something that we told our board we plan to address this season, and we're not quite ready yet. But I think there's certainly interest in the process, and I think that we're not there yet in terms of having made any specific decisions about markets or even frankly to expand."
The topic of expansion has been an ongoing one in NBA circles over the past few years, with both Seattle and Las Vegas being floated as potential homes for new teams. As time has passed, Silver has repeatedly said that the league was going to address expansion in a specific order, taking care of its new collective bargaining agreement and then its new television deal before turning to the topic of expansion.
The CBA was agreed to in spring 2023, and the NBA came to a tentative agreement with Disney, Comcast and Amazon this year on its new television deal, paving the way for the league to begin looking at expansion over the next several months. The first step in that process would be forming a committee of several owners to explore the topic of expansion and to determine what the next steps would be.
Speaking of Seattle, Silver was also asked specifically about Climate Pledge Arena, formerly known as Key Arena, and whether the renovations the arena has undergone over the past few seasons would be enough to entice the league to return there after the Seattle SuperSonics moved to Oklahoma City in 2008.
Silver sidestepped the question, saying that the league focuses on every arena it plays in everywhere.
"The answer is yes," Silver said. "We're always paying attention to what's happening in other arenas throughout the United States when we do play games there. We look very closely at the support we get in those markets."
"But incidentally, we look everywhere. I think we have a pretty good library now of arenas everywhere in the world, and in part because even if we're not playing there on a regular basis, there's things we can learn."

Not sure why a franchise would want the history of a past team too, if the name is changed in addition to the location. The Warriors, Lakers, etc I kind of get, but if you’re trying to do a whole new thing just leave the records and start clean.
