超音速隊能否重回西雅圖？


自超音速隊於 2008 年離開以來，NBA 總裁Adam Silver首次將增隊稱為“可能發生的”
，並給出了何時可能發生的時間表。

專員在周日 NBA-TV 的 NBA 總決賽第二場比賽之前談到了這件事。

Shaquille O'Neal問Silver，“如果一切進展順利，你是否會在不久的將來看到更多的隊
伍。就像你聽到西雅圖一樣，你聽到拉斯維加斯。這有可能嗎？”

Silver回答說：“有可能。”

專員接著說，聯盟首先需要與球員敲定一項集體談判協議，他們已經完成了。接下來，聯
盟將製定其媒體版權合約。Silver希望在明年春天開始就此進行認真的談判。

Silver說，一旦完成媒體版權合約，“我們將開啟增隊。”


因此，如果Silver信守諾言，NBA 可能會在 2024 年夏天開始擴張進程，甚至更早。

另一個觀察重點是，當Shaq提到西雅圖和拉斯維加斯作為可能的擴張城市時，Silver沒有
退縮或糾正他。專員只是說有很多大城市對 NBA 感興趣。

Could Seattle be closer to bringing back the Sonics?

For the first time, since the Sonics left in 2008, NBA commissioner Adam
Silver calls expansion a "possibility" and gives a timeline of when it could
happen.

The commissioner talked about it before game two of the NBA Finals Sunday on
NBA-TV.

Shaquille O'Neal asked Silver, "with everything going so well, do you see in
the near future more expansions teams. Like you hear Seattle, you hear Las
Vegas.  Is that a possibility?"

Silver replied, "It is a possibility."

The commissioner went on to say the league first needed to finalize a
collective bargaining deal with the players and they've got that done.  Next
up, the league will work on its media rights package.  Silver hopes to begin
negotiating that, in earnest, by next spring.

Once the media rights package is done, Silver says, "we'll turn to expansion."


So if Silver is true to his word, the NBA could start the expansion process
by the summer of 2024, if not sooner.

One more observation, when Shaq mentioned Seattle and Las Vegas as possible
cities for expansion, Silver did not flinch or correct him.  The commissioner
just says there are a lot of great cities interested in the NBA.
