Lakers’ LeBron James Rumored to Move NBA into Las Vegas Expansion

LeBron James can’t play forever.

We know LeBron wants to finish his playing career with his son, but what’s next for LeBron?

On the latest edition of The Bill Simmons Podcast, Simmons claims to have “intel” about the NBA’s plans to expand to Las Vegas with the involvement of superstar LeBron James in the ownership group.

“I have some intel,” Simmons said. “I think the league is going to expand to Vegas and Seattle.”

“I’m just saying, the Vegas thing, I would watch that,” Simmons says. “I think it’s officially real — LeBron is definitely going to be involved in that.”

In Oct. 2021, Mike Akers of the Las Vegas Review-Journal asked Silver about an NBA expansion franchise in Vegas.

Silver responded saying the league is not ready “right now’ for expansion but “no doubt Vegas will be on the list.”

“It’s on a list at the point that we do turn to expansion, which isn’t right now, but at some point, no doubt Vegas will be on the list.”

After a decline in revenue during the pandemic, adding two teams could bring a boost to help make up for a decline in revenue.

Anything to make a buck. You know LeBron wants that NBA ownership badly.
