The Mavericks are aiming to legalize gambling, Xiao Hua opens his military expansion plan

NBA President Xiao Hua once again talked about the next NBA military expansion in the program "SiriusXM".

Xiao Hua said that he will meet with all NBA team owners in July this year to formally discuss the idea of ​​expanding the NBA to 32 teams.

According to US media reports, the last time the NBA expanded its troops was in 2004. At that time, the Charlotte Bobcats were later renamed the Charlotte Hornets, becoming the 30th team in the NBA.

In the offseason last season, the league has been reported to be expanding again in the future, with a tentative goal of two teams.

The most surprising deal this season is the Mavericks’ trade in Doncic. After the shocking deal, local media reported that a Dallas fan sued Mavericks boss Patrick Dumont to the Dallas city government, accusing him of lobbying for legalizing gambling in Texas. This move caused a local sensation and made people question the motives behind the Mavericks.

Local media revealed that it turned out that the Mavericks were not interested in whether the team could win the championship, but rather intentionally transferred the team to Las Vegas, because the team's new boss was originally from the gambling industry, and the Mavericks did not allow gambling to be legal.

According to Xiao Hua, Seattle and Las Vegas have shown great interest in this expansion. However, if two new teams are successfully formed, the league will have to re-division, because both teams belong to the Western Conference, and the current Western Conference team may be transferred to the East, while the Grizzlies, Pelicans and Timberwolves are considered the most realistic choice. After the league revealed that it was intended to expand its troops, the media also reported that James wanted to follow Jordan and become one of the major shareholders of the Las Vegas team.
