James, who has spoken in the past about wanting to eventually own an NBA franchise — with Las Vegas on his mind — sent a crystal-clear message to Commissioner Adam Silver on Wednesday night, reminding him of his future plans.
"I know Adam is in Abu Dhabi right now, I believe. But he probably sees every single interview and transcript that comes through from NBA players," James said after the Lakers' matchup with the Phoenix Suns."So, I want the team here, Adam. Thank you."
That said, Silver has called Las Vegas"a great sports market." The NBA already has deep ties to Las Vegas, and holds its Summer League there. James said in June on his show"The Shop: Uninterrupted" on HBO Sports that he wants to own a team and revealed his plans to have it in Las Vegas, which has long been mentioned as a possible expansion site.
