Putting an expansion team in Las Vegas would make sense given the trajectory of the city and the location in comparison to places like Phoenix or Los Angeles. There have even been direct quotes from LeBron James on the subject, who hopes to own at least a part of a franchise some day, and perhaps in Southern Nevada.<\/p>\n<p>But according to a recent fan<a href=\"https:\/\/theathletic.com\/4989789\/2023\/10\/24\/nba-fan-survey-results-2023-2024\/\"> poll that was conducted by The Athletic<\/a>, there is another city that deserves a team first.<\/p>\n<p>The 2023-24 &#8220;Fan Survey&#8221; was released on Tuesday, and 6,380 people were asked questions about their NBA viewing habits and how they approach the game as outsiders. A couple of the questions pertained to expansion and relocation of franchises, and the answers were somewhat unsurprising.<\/p>\n<p>First, a poll was taken on whether the NBA should add an expansion team or not. 69.4% of respondents favored adding a new team to the league, and the next poll question was in regard to which city they felt deserved to have a new franchise.<\/p>\n<h2>Seattle Leads The Polling By A Mile<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">LeBron James is courtside for Game 1 of the WNBA Finals in Las Vegas.

There have been calls and cries for the NBA to return to the Pacific Northwest for well over a decade now, as the city and the fans feel as though their team was taken from them, and that the passion and fandom still exist in the Emerald City.<\/p>\n<p>Las Vegas came in at a very distant second place on the poll, finishing with 13.8% of the votes. The other three selections were international cities, which included Mexico City, London, and Paris. Each of them received less than 4% of the votes.<\/p>\n<p>From <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/sportslens.com\/\">Sportslens.com &#8211; NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB News, Rumors &amp; Betting Picks<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h2><b>Commercials Cooperation Advertisements:<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><br>(1) IT Teacher IT Freelance<br> <\/p>\r\n<a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITTeacherITFreelance-Website.png alt=IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\/><\/a><p><a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/findteacher>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427! <\/a><br>\r\n\r\n\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a -\u6559\u80b2 -IT \u96fb\u8166\u73ed\u201d ( IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 ) \u63d0\u4f9b\u4e00\u500b\u65b9\u4fbf\u7684\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a \u6559\u80b2\u5e73\u53f0, \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u4fe1\u606f\u6280\u672f, \u96fb\u8166 \u8001\u5e2b, IT freelance \u548c programming expert. \u8b93\u5927\u5bb6\u65b9\u4fbf\u5730\u5c31\u80fd\u627e\u5230\u5408\u9069\u7684\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2, \u96fb\u8166\u73ed, \u5bb6\u6559, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b.  <br>\r\n\r\nWe are a education and information platform which you can find a IT private tutorial teacher or freelance. <br>\r\n\r\nAlso we provide different information about information technology, Computer, programming, mobile, Android, apple, game, movie, anime, animation\u2026 \r\n<\/p>\n<p><br>(2) ITSec<br> <\/p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITSec-Main-Promotion-Image.png alt= https:\/\/itsec.vip\/\r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers.  \r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training.\/><\/a> \r\n<br><br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip>www.ITSec.vip<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/sraa.com.hk>www.Sraa.com.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.hk>www.ITSec.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/penetrationtest.hk>www.Penetrationtest.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itseceu.uk>www.ITSeceu.uk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers. <br><br>\r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training. \r\n<br><br>Contact us right away. <br><br>Email (Prefer using email to contact us): <br>SalesExecutive@ITSec.vip<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/sportslens.com\/news\/nba-news-fans-want-an-expansion-franchise-in-seattle-according-to-poll\/\">NBA News: Fans Want An Expansion Franchise In Seattle, According To Poll<\/a> &#8211; originally posted on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/sportslens.com\/\">Sportslens.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>There have been rumors of expansion swirling around the NBA for the past few years.
