00:02 - The one thing that I wanted to ask you about
00:06 in terms of expansion was,
00:08 I think at some level in less than five years,
00:12 I believe Vegas will have an NBA team.
00:15 And I think LeBron James will be part of the ownership group
00:19 of that franchise.
00:21 And he's literally admitted it.
00:24 He said that that's like one of his goals, right?
00:27 So I don't know when you hear Silver talk about,
00:32 we want it somewhere else besides the US and Canada,
00:36 that they wanna go somewhere else.
00:39 I don't know if that means Mexico.
00:42 I don't know if that means Europe, London, Spain.
00:47 I don't know, like the game has grown so significantly,
00:53 you know, globally that, you know, I just,
00:57 how do you feel about them, you know,
00:59 crossing the pond to play NBA games for seven months?
01:03 - I think it's absolutely awful,
01:06 to be quite honest with you.
01:08 I don't want anything to do with it.
01:10 I don't think that any of these leagues
01:12 should be crossing the pond for regular.
01:14 I know that the NFL has discussed this as well.
01:17 Having a team in London,
01:18 they play enough games over there, I guess, at this point,
01:21 as they're trying to make like a training ground
01:22 to see how often they can go back and forth.
01:26 I can't stand it, Scotty, to be quite honest.
01:29 It is what it is.
01:29 I mean, do you have, have you seen,
01:31 you know, these soccer leagues in Europe,
01:35 which are massive, massive moneymakers,
01:37 the Champions League, the Premier League,
01:39 oh, they got teams in the United States, Scotty?
01:42 No, they don't.
01:44 And there's a reason why they don't,
01:45 because it wouldn't work.
01:46 And it wouldn't work if you put an NBA team
01:48 in Paris, France, or London, England,
01:50 or wherever you wanna go, or an NFL team for that matter.
01:53 I think it's a bad idea.
01:54 I'm not saying you wanna play your one-off game over there
01:56 like you do now.
01:57 Sure, go ahead.
01:59 Having a full-time team there?
02:01 I mean, look, all we hear now
02:07 is how many problems there are down there, right?
02:10 Cartel.
02:12 All we have are these problems down in Mexico City.
02:15 So you wanna go, and I don't know how many guys
02:17 you're gonna have running to sign down there
02:21 if they put a team in Mexico City.
02:23 I'm not sure how well that will go.
02:25 But I think you're fine where you are.
02:28 I think we know where the expansion's gonna be.
02:31 Vegas is gonna get a team.
02:33 And haven't they been saying
02:34 they wanna go back to Seattle?
02:35 Yeah, that's where they should do it.
02:37 Screw everybody else.
02:39 Enough with this nonsense of having teams.
02:42 And look, if you wanna go Canada again,
02:45 I got no problem with that.
02:46 They obviously had Vancouver and they lost it.
02:49 I don't know if that would work out.
02:51 Montreal, something like that,
02:53 to have a second team in Canada,
02:55 I wouldn't have an issue there.
02:57 But going across the pond, absolutely not.
03:00 I want nothing to do with that, Scotty.
