The expansion of NBA is inevitable.
However, there is no guarantee that it will soon be created, especially after the NBA Commissioner Adam Silver at a recent meeting of the league board.

Commissioner Silver explained about the delay in expansion: “If we didn’t understand how local regional television works before expanding, we will abuse.”
“The notion that we are delivering a team to a city that we are not currently working on and say,” You need to understand how you want to distribute your games to your local fans “doesn’t make sense.”
However, Bill Simmons Ringer has claimed that the delay in spreading is even easier.
The new league television deal, which is worth $ 76 billion in 11 years, has made the owners reduced to reduce one part of their share by adding another team.
“It just seemed that the lock was happening for the past few years and I think silver wanted to happen,” Simmons said in his podcast.
“It was a very big media deal. I think there are their owners who no longer want to give up their money.”
Therefore, with the stubborn position of the owners, there is a way to add a new market and increase the values of voting.
This is with a voting right and there is an obvious team to move for Simmons: New Orleans Pelicans
“There are situations where there are some voting rights that may be able to move to another city and be successful,” Simmons said.
“I don’t mean to start the horror in the New Orleans basketball. I also am not sure there is enough fans to even care about it. But the Smoothie King (Center) rental expires in 2029. This is a test that has not worked with professional basketball for 50 years.”

Pelicans won only 17169 fans last season, ranked 22nd in the NBA.
They have also played for a long time in 23 seasons since the start of the game in 2002-03, with only 9 playoff games in 23 games on the field.
The team had only won two playoffs at the time and never passed the semi -finals of the conference.
The Pelicans House, the Smoothie King Center, is 25 years old and needs work.
In addition, the Pelicans lease ends in June 2029, which provides another reason for the team’s potential move.
Where can Pelicans New Orleans be moved?
For many, including Simmons, Seattle is a clear choice for a NBA team to move it.

Prior to the vote, the city was formerly at the Seattle SuperSonics house and was renamed Oklahoma City Thunder in 2008.
Former Pelicans and NBA champion Kendrick Perkins has already supported Seattle’s right to vote.
“I think it’s time for Pelicans to return … a city like Seattle, a city like Las Vegas deserves a basketball team,” Perkins said in 2022.
The idea of Pelicans, which moves more than 2,500 miles, is still feeling out of mind, and this is one of the things that can be very controversial.
The city of New Orleans is a place for sports and his home is Pelicans and the NFL, New Orleans Saints.
It also hosts world -renowned university programs such as LSU, University of New Orleans, University of Louisiana in Lafayt and Tolan.
Therefore, while Pelicans have tried to attract support, this is mainly due to lack of competition in court.
