NBA would expand to Mexico City before it expanded to New Mexico…

The fuck you mean you mean you won’t find real fans In Vegas? Have you not seen how the golden knights turned out.

Yea I lived in Vegas for the last 5 years. Despite the fact that most of the population is transplants, they support their teams.

They aren't really supporting the raiders at the moment but its a much different situation than the knights.

The raiders have a weird reputation

Players hate playing in Canada. New Mexico makes no sense.

After his one season in Toronto he went on record saying he was hurt he was never offered another contract from them. This article sounds bitter.

Like 2 million people like in the Vegas metro area. It's not just casinos.

I can't imagine most NBA players having any interest in a Mexico City franchise. Long travel times, a language barrier, seems more unlikely they'd want to move their families. Just seems like a mess.

It’s also 2000 feet higher than Denver the altitude adjustment would be crazy

Naw Canada already has too many teams. They should put a team in Pittsburgh

Hey guy no one likes your america-lite canada stuff or your fanbase, Vegas has great fans and America is doing just fine running the NBA which is the 2nd most popular sport in the world.

Does Seattle even want a team? The Sonics leaving got really messy. Genuinely curious what how people living in Seattle feel
