NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has confirmed that the league will consider expansion following the completion of the highly anticipated media rights deal. The recent approval of the $76 billion deal by the board of governors signals progress, but Warner Bros. Discovery maintains the right to match one of the NBA packages, adding complexity to the process. Silver emphasized the need for careful planning and consideration, as expanding the league could potentially dilute team values and talent. The decision on expansion will impact revenue distribution among the 30 teams, with each owner evaluating the trade-offs involved. Prospective buyers have already expressed interest in acquiring new franchises, with cities like Seattle, Las Vegas, and Mexico City being front-runners for potential new teams. Silver plans to engage in the expansion decision-making process this fall, focusing on determining the number of teams and markets for potential expansion.
