    If so then Jody and any other owners considering selling would want to do expansion now then sell the team.

    Has similarities to new TV revenue deal. If the NBA can sign a huge new deal now then owners might be able to sell for a larger profit after that deal is signed. However selling now before a new TV deal, a potential buyer would likely price in paying way more money than the current year profit, with the expectation a huge new TV deal is coming. So the TV deal may have no impact on a sale price at all. Third possibility is the TV deal signed doesn't end up quite as lucrative as some hoped, it could actually be better to sell now before the TV deal is signed as a buyer may price in a higher estimate than what is actually possible.

    Simmons mentioned they could potentially exclude the expansion teams from revenue sharing for a set time period. He mentioned something like that has been done before, but didn't go into detail.

    Plate tectonics dictates that the Blazers will eventually have to move!
