I was shocked and of course it was rigged. For the first time EVER in Dallas favor. A team that has never had the #1 pick, and has never even moved up in the lottery once in 17 tries.

 

Oh, and the Mavericks are NOT moving to Vegas.  You may not believe the "top 5 market shit" but what you will believe as that the owners would lose 20+ million in buy in fees bynot doing a new team, and letting them move.  

It's not happening.

Counterpoint:

1) Seattle will get an expansion team before Vegas no matter what.

2) A post Mavs expansion team in Dallas would generate more fees than a Vegas team, and on a more convenient timeline. 

The number of times the league has prevented teams from leaving cities that do not support a new arena is *zero.*
If the public won’t pony up for a new arena and the lege doesn’t get behind gambling so they can self-fund, they are gone.

I think Vegas gets a team first personally(even though Seattle SHOULD)

That's if they have them lined up...there is a groundswell for a Vegas team. They would have so many groups trying to buy in it would be silly.

The last point isn't worth it. If the Owners lose out on Casinos in Texas, they're more likely to sell out than try to move. They didn't get into the Mavs for the basketball, but as a catalyst for an all encompassing new Casino/entertainment market in North Texas. They don't need the Mavs for that in Vegas.

It just don't make sense.  And now with the draft, the interest will be back for the Mavs, right or wrong, so the chances are less IMO.

This is the part that hasn't made sense to me in the discussion. Why the league make more if the expansion was Vegas or if the Mavs move and the expansion is DFW?

Larger fee for an expansion team in DFW because it’s a bigger market, a better market, has richer people, and would be 5-6 years further out

Laker fan here.  No.  I’d give LeBron and Bronny for Flagg and Gafford

That's not enough...to take Bronny off your hands alone would require your best 1st round pick you can offer.  And throw in Reeves and it'll be close.

 

Honestly watch Dallas/Lakers do some deal with Gafford.  Not sure what the fuck Dallas could get back as Reeves or Luka, obviously, is all that's worth anything on that team now(lebron at 40 no thanks)

Lulz.  At my son's (Longhorn next year!) senior film festival at his high school.  There's an electronic bill with the seniors' picture, future college, major, and favorite quote.  They're all quotes from like Confucius, Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, etc.  My son's, quote "Fire Nico".
