The NBA may finally be getting serious about expanding to Seattle. Commissioner Adam Silver said he expects the topic to be brought up when league executives gather in Las Vegas.

Spike O’Neill, co-host of 鈥淭he Jake and Spike Show鈥 on 成人X站 Newsradio, explained that steps are falling into place, but the hardest part is yet to be done.

“They’ve got the new labor agreements figured out. They got the new TV deal figured out. Now the numbers are in place. It’s convincing the 30 owners in the NBA that it’s time to cut the pie a little thinner, bring it to 32 shares, of all the different revenue streams,” he said. “And that the markets, where they’re talking about going into Vegas and Seattle, are a worthwhile investment that will be a beneficial, long-term growth for everybody involved.”

Spike also thinks bringing the executives to Las Vegas instead of Seattle was a smart move.

“If they held this owners meeting in Seattle, and these owners came to Seattle and saw the tents and graffiti and all the stuff. I love my town, don’t get me wrong. I’m on the Seattle’s coming back bandwagon, sure. I’m a true believer in this city, sure. But when you bring the owners to Vegas, well, Vegas is Vegas,” he said.

However, Jake Skorheim, co-host of “Jake and Spike,” is worried that another city without a team could steal the show.

To which Spike responded, “No, that’s what Portland’s for.”

“Portland’s for sale, you’re right,” Jake replied. “Portland might have done us a favor.”
