The Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Phoenix Suns in Las Vegas on Wednesday in a preseason game. The game didn’t matter, but it was after the game what LeBron James said that is making news. LeBron was speaking to the media and told Adam Silver that he wants an expansion team in Las Vegas. It has been speculated that LeBron wants to go into ownership after he is done playing and Las Vegas has been linked to LeBron.

If an expansion team is awarded to Las Vegas, Would the NBA expand into another city? It seems likely they would and would Seattle be that city? The Blazers opened up their preseason in Seattle against the LA Clippers earlier this season.
