The NBA aims to expand to a city that once had a franchise in the past

The NBA's major future project has solidified with an 11-year rights agreement with ESPN, Amazon, and NBC, contributing over $76 billion to the league as it seeks to kickstart its expansion.

In this regard, as per Newsweek, all eyes are on a possible return to the city of Seattle, which was previously part of the NBA with its SuperSonics franchise.

A final decision that will take time

However, the decision won't be immediate. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has stated that there is still time for the league to focus on its expansion, and when the time comes, it will be decided whether to proceed with expansion and how many teams will enter the competition:

"I think this fall, we will be full speed ahead in the decision-making process: do we need to expand, and if so, how many teams should we expand by," said the NBA Commissioner.
