NBA Commissioner Adam Silver says the league will start to make decisions on expansion at a Board of Governor’s meeting in March, signaling that Seattle is very much part of that discussion.
“We will make decisions in 2026,” Silver said, referencing comments he made late last year in Las Vegas. “In fairness to the cities — Seattle and Las Vegas in particular — have been very clear. I don’t want to tease teams. I don’t want to tease cities or mislead anyone.” “We won’t be voting at the March meeting,” Silver said on Saturday, “but we will likely come out of those meetings ready, prepared to take a next step in terms of potentially talking to interested parties.” The league has finalized its collective bargaining agreement and national media deals, clearing what Silver described as necessary hurdles before deeper expansion discussions.“It doesn’t have to be a two-team expansion,” he said. “Frankly, it doesn’t have to be any number of teams.” The next logical move, Silver said, would involve internal discussions to narrow potential cities before engaging the marketplace to determine ownership interest and franchise valuation.Silver also made clear that relocation is not currently being considered.Seattle has been without an NBA franchise since the SuperSonics relocated to Oklahoma City in 2008.
