Now this vision has a location. “I want a team in Vegas,” James said in an excerpt from the latest episode of his talk show, “The Shop,” which debuts on Friday. “I want the team in Vegas.”

James, who already owns part of Liverpool FC and the Boston Red Sox, said last season that “his goal is to get a NBA franchise,” adding, “and it will be sooner or later.” James, 37, will enter his 20th season in the NBA in the fall, when the Los Angeles Lakers training camp opens. He would have to finish the game to be able to buy a team and he would have to find a property team to help with the offer – the latest NBA team to hit the market, the Minnesota Timberwolves, reached $ 1.5 billion in 2021. James would also need the championship to expand to Las Vegas. At the NBA Finals’ annual press conference last week, NBA commissioner Adam Silver said there were no current plans to expand beyond the league’s 30 teams. “We are not discussing it at the moment,” Silver said. “As I said before, at some point, this league will always expand, but this is not the time we are discussing it.” However, when asked specifically about Seattle and Las Vegas as possible expansion sites, Silver approved both sites. “These are great markets,” Silver said. “We were in Seattle. I’m sorry we’re not there anymore. We have a WNBA team in Seattle in an almost brand new building that is doing amazingly. And Las Vegas, where we will be in our summer league in July, has also proven to be a great sports market.” .
