The NBA’s prospective plan to add two new expansion teams continued to trend this week. On Thursday, Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan detailed her working relationship with Adam Silver and the optimism that surrounds potential expansion.
In a conversation with KING 5’s Chris Daniels, Durkan explained that a pre-Christmas conversation with Silver served as a launching point for optimism. In regards to NBA expansion and Seattle’s chances, Durkan appeared bullish on the proposition.
“I think it’s real. But I think again, the commissioner is going to, you know, consult the ownership, and the ownership for the first time itself is being very public that they think it is probably a good idea for basketball.
