Discussing the NBA's Las Vegas expansion bid.
“as soon as next summer we could see players being peeled off of the other 30 teams' rosters to go populate this new team”
Make your take
In context
Billit. I think that's what it's still called.
BillTo me, it's an insane number. And there has to be, there has to be, I'd never, I haven't studied the part of this where can you fill the arena for 350 days a year? And if you own the arena, is that just a crazy amount of revenue? the Warriors did this when they built the Chase Center and it seemed crazy how much money they spent on it but that thing's a cash cow for them so they were obviously right
Billso maybe that's the feeling with Vegas too it's not just the basketball team it's you get all the other stuff too yeah
Goldsberryand that's a city where they need that stuff so yeah it's a real estate play um I'm a little bearish on Vegas as a long -term sports city um but it's going to be exciting and I think the more interesting thing for me, Bill, is what will they end up doing with the expansion draft as soon as next summer we could see players being peeled off of the other 30 teams' rosters to go populate this new team, which, you
Goldsberryknow, is going to be really fascinating for us to go through. So
Billif it's nine and a half just for Vegas divided by 30, that's basically like a $315 million check to every single owner.
BillMatt Ishby is like, can you wire it to me?
