Yeah, we're currently looking at two teams, but what we've said is it's possible we won't expand at all, and we could expand to just one market, but we're officially looking at both those markets right now.
You know, honestly...
neither one i mean i i think it's interesting that you've had so many international players as mvps i mean we just talked about yannis also it's interesting on draft night as a reminder fifteenth pick in the draft not the first pick not a top five pick but the fifteenth so it shows how deep the town is in this league and it's the the majority of our players are still american it's roughly seventy percent of the league are american so you know i think if anything that rash of international mvps has gotten the attention
of youth development in the U.S.
and the programs, or whether that's just happenstance or there's a better job we all need to do collectively.
No question there's enormous talent coming out of the U.S.
This current draft is an example.
And I think on the eight different champions in eight years, that wasn't our goal per se.
The goal over time has been, you know, I've said it to be more NFL-like, where, you know,
you believe your team has a shot.
It may be not every single season, but your view is regardless of the market size, if your team is well managed, if you have a little bit of luck in there, that you have a good chance to be in the playoffs and potentially be the champion.
And so I think what we've seen is
societal changes.
I think that nobody's going to say that Victor Wimbonyama in San Antonio can't get global attention because it's a smaller market.
I think I love the fact this year, even San Antonio versus New York, I don't think the storyline was small market versus big market.
It was, you know, Wemby versus, you know, Jalen or whatever else.
And so I think the players recognize they can have success regardless of where they are.
And I also think the changes we've made in the CBA, you know, that
It's still a soft cap system, but there's so-called second apron.
We want a better distribution of the players, and we're seeing that.
