preview

September 13, 2022Multiple teams are up for sale and Las Vegas is one city the NBA would consider if it decided on relocation, Hall of Fame center Shaquille O'Neal said on .While O'Neal is not considered an NBA "insider," most former players are extremely well-connected -- especially former players who are studio analysts on TNT and NBA TV, such as O'Neal."I heard through the grapevine that there are a couple teams for sale and one may be going to Vegas," .He did not reveal which teams are up for sale or considering Las Vegas as a possible landing spot.If true, Shaq's statement wouldn't be a huge surprise.
