Adam Silver left impression that Seattle expansion team no longer a lock to happen, mentioned Mexico City as possibility
NBA commissioner Adam Silver appears to be upping the ante on the leverage game involving the possible future of the Seattle SuperSonics, multiple ownership sources told ESPN. We say "possible" with care because Silver left owners with the impression that a Seattle expansion team was no longer a lock at last month’s board of governors meeting. Silver even reintroduced the idea of Mexico City as a possible destination. At the meeting, owners were told about at least one Mexico City-based group that has approached NBA expansion partner PJT Partners with a plan about launching a team and developing a new arena district there that apparently has caught the league’s attention, several sources said.
