Christopher Brown+FollowAdam Silver calls the Rozier case “unprecedented”Adam Silver addressed the Terry Rozier situation and basically admitted the league is in uncharted territory: “This is an unprecedented situation… I’m incredibly sympathetic to the Heat… Sometimes there’s unique events that maybe require unique solutions… we’ll see if there’s any satisfactory relief, but at the moment there is none.” That’s brutal for Miami because Rozier can’t play, yet his $26.6M still sits on their books (about 17% of the cap, per reporting), and the whole thing is tied up in legal/investigative timelines the team can’t control. So what should the NBA actually do here? #Miami #Heat #TerryRozier #NBA #AdamSilver #NBANews #NBADiscussion 21Share
Steve Francis+FollowAdam Silver: NBA will decide on expansion “sometime in 2026” — Vegas and Seattle on deckPer Adam Silver, the NBA is finally putting a rough timeline on expansion. Speaking before the NBA Cup Final in Vegas, Silver said the league is working with current teams, running the numbers, and “sometime in 2026 we’ll make a determination” on whether to expand past 30 teams. He specifically name-checked Las Vegas and Seattle as the two main markets the league is studying, while adding that they’ve looked at other cities too. The NBA hasn’t expanded since 2004 (Charlotte Bobcats), and Seattle has been without a team since the Sonics moved to OKC in 2008. If/when expansion happens, we’re talking about: Two new teams (most likely) A massive expansion fee split among owners An expansion draft that could shake up a lot of rosters If the NBA actually pulls the trigger, where do you want the next teams — Vegas, Seattle, or somewhere else? #NBA #AdamSilver #NBAExpansion #Seattle #LasVegas #NBADiscussion22Share
