The idea of NBA expansion has been bouncing around for a number of years. Commissioner Adam Silver has basically said that expansion at some point is inevitable, but we currently have no timetable for when such a thing may take place. Just about everybody thinks Seattle deserves to get its SuperSonics back, and one would imagine rectifying that situation would be pretty high on the league’s list of priorities. A 32-team NBA is going to happen eventually.
On Thursday Andy Bailey of SBN’s own SLC Dunk tweeted a hypothetical about what it might look like if the NBA decided to create 2 new teams ahead of next season, which would mean we would have an expansion draft sometime after this season ends.
