you know if it were up to me i'd love for them to play a few games a year in nashville and sort of be tennessee's team to the extent they can but uh you know memphis has been a great market historically for the nba it's you know amazing history in that city amazing culture you know and it's a big country you know and so as i look out you know a
at our 30 teams, we want teams to be able to do well everywhere.
We have a revenue sharing system, et cetera.
But from my standpoint, there's no reason why the Memphis Grizzlies can't be successful.
so we announced you know just about a month ago that we were looking at expansion and in particular those two markets seattle and las vegas we sort of left it open whether we would go you know for new teams in both markets or one market or frankly you know no expansion at all if that's not what made sense at the end of the analysis i will say still early days but enormous interest in both those markets
you know as as you said i i we could have a longer discussion i don't think we left because of greed of owners i think there was an issue at the time they needed a new arena it didn't work out and the team ended up getting moved i won't debate that but i you know
do think, you know, we should, you know, Seattle has historically was a great market for many years when I, early days, I was in the league, we were in Seattle.
They, you know, the Seattle Storm, our WNBA team does fantastically well there.
You know, probably top five things people ask me about sort of in this job as I travel everywhere is when are you going to bring the Sonics back to Seattle?
Like, you know, I think it's just part of the DNA of that market.
So,
You know, my hope is we get back there at some point, but we're going through the process now.
And Las Vegas does seemingly has an insatiable appetite for entertainment and sports.
You know, NHL is doing great there.
NFL is.
Baseball is announced.
They're going there.
Again, we have a WNBA team in Las Vegas.
The Aces have done really fantastically well.
So, as I said, a lot of interest in that market.
