Milwaukee (AFP) - Las Vegas or Seattle could become the new home of the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks if taxpayer funding for half the cost of a new arena isn't quickly approved by lawmakers.

Bucks president Peter Feigin told lawmakers that the NBA would look to relocate the team to one of those two cities without public funding for half of a proposed $500 million (456 million euros) arena so construction can start this year, the Milwaukee Business Journal reported.
