Though it had not been a conversation heavily talked around in the NBA, a new team is bound to come around soon. It was even hinted by commissioner Adam Silver, who also believed it would be coming soon, but no firm timetable is in place for when exactly it would be or what city the team would occupy.
Silver did mention that if there were to be a possibility of a new team coming soon, that Seattle would be one of the cities in contention for that spot. Seattle was the previous home to the SuperSonics, a team with legendary players including Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp, Ray Allen, and Rashard Lewis.
