When A NEW NBA TEAM Enters The League...
Вставка

- When the NBA was formed in 1946 there were originally 11 teams. Since then, throughout the years, there have been multiple expansions to finally get to 30 teams at the moment.
However rumors are getting louder about adding another 2 teams to the league,
so let’s break down what actually happens when a new team enters, how do they get players, and all the effects that it has on the association. What up everybody, my name is Stefan and this is Heat Check. Let’s get into it.
First of all let’s see how expansion rosters are constructed. When a new team enters the league, they get to pick a player from the other NBA teams. This is called an expansion draft.
But of course, since everyone would love to pick Lebron, KD, Curry, Harden and similar superstars, every team gets to protect a certain number of players. With the arrival of the Charlotte Bobcats in 2004, that number was eight.
Though there may be some changes, that was the system used 17 years ago. As you’d expect, the so-called unprotected players aren’t especially good. Yet, there have been situations in which expansion teams got their hands on guys like Gerald Wallace (the Bobcats in 2004), B.J. Armstrong (Raptors in 1995), and Rick Mahorn (Timberwolves in 1989). What’s ironic is that both Armstrong and Mahorn refused to report and were subsequently traded away.
The Mahorn situation was especially emotional. The bruising big guy had just become a champion with his Pistons. Yet, because of their depth, Detroit left him unprotected and he was therefore selected, like we said, by Minnesota. It was a decision that puts tears on his face to this day.And we cannot talk about expansion drafts without mentioning this trivia. In 1988, the Lakers sent a second-round pick to the Heat who were the new team entering the league back then in an agreement that Miami wouldn’t select one of the greatest players of all time, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, in that year’s expansion draft.
Los Angeles kinda forgot to protect the centre focusing their attention on some younger players.
Now, back to the rules - expansion teams also have picks in the actual NBA Draft. However, there are no fixed criteria as to where they select in their first seasons in the league. The Vancouver Grizzlies and Toronto Raptors selected numbers 6 and 7, respectively, in 1995, while the Bobcats had the fourth selection, though they traded up to number 2, getting Emeka Okafor. These picks were not awarded in the lottery, but were given out by then-Commissioner David Stern.
When it comes to the salary cap issue, the league places a limit on how much expansion teams can spend. That is done to protect the rest of the NBA from being outbid easily in the fight for free agents. In its first season, an expansion team can use only 66.7% of the cap, while the figure rises to 80% in Year 2. In the third season, the full salary cap is available.
And having understood the actual mechanics of forming an expansion roster, we can now look at why owners would love this to happen soon, as well as all the pros and cons of a yet another expansion.
The main reasons why current owners would support expansion is, of course, money. According to Brian Windhorst the price tag is around $2.5 billion each for two expansion teams in the near future. Unlike other major revenue streams such as TV and ticket money, expansion fees are not split with players. That could mean about $160 million per team, a boost that could wipe out the massive debt load that’s piling up for owners, especially during Covid.
Now, for the most serious candidates that have been mentioned in terms of expansion even before the start of the pandemic, and especially since the outbreak.
They are Seattle and Las Vegas.
Seattle is the obvious choice, especially considering the rich basketball history that it already has. Also a loyal and supportive fanbase, and the size of the city as well. Even Silver himself has mentioned that.
When it comes to Vegas, let’s just say it was not a coincidence that the league had its All-Star Weekend there in 2007. Also, in December of last year, the mayor of Las Vegas said she’d spoken with Silver and they both agreed that this would be a nice fit.
Cities such as San Diego, Louisville, Kansas City, and Pittsburgh must be mentioned in this discussion as well.
As it pertains to the effects, a couple of things. A new market adds very little value to the NBA from a TV product standpoint since the ratings are primarily driven by big-market franchises and the playoffs, which are not changed. However, since national TV revenue is shared evenly among all teams, the new market gets part of the pie every other team would be entitled to even without creating more money. Other revenue streams are impacted similarly, but TV is what’s most important.
It’s like angel investors buying stock in the NBA as a whole. While it infuses much-needed money into the business right away, the long-term earnings for any previous investors are spread out. - Спорт
If new teams does happen, they can offer Dennis Schroder a 100+ million contract
😂😂😂
Lol rob pelinka’s burner
hahahaha
And add Ben Simmons on top
That's not gonna happen
Seattle needs to have their team back man. Miss those jerseys. Also think Canada should get another team.
Vancouver or Seattle
Vancouver would be cool to see a Canadian teams in the East and West
Seattle would be cool because you know it’s the Seattle Supersonics making a return
Big vote up for another Canadian team. They draft Coach Nash in the expansion.
Gonna be hard to bring the Sonics back, their history records were transferred to the Thunder. Who's gonna keep it?
Get rid of the Pelicans for the Sonics
@@RayleighSilvers did number 20 & 40 hanged at the Chesapeake Energy Arena?
If NBA does expand. We need a team back in Seattle and another team in Canada. That's the main thing that needs to be addressed. A comeback to Vancouver or a team in Montreal would be nice
Montreal and Vancouver I agree
i think is time Mexico City have his team on NBA too.
@@ivairrgs I agree but it is improbable that Mexico will have an NBA team. It is not impossible but it is improbable considering that it is further than most of the NBA cities. Plus, players would not want to stay there with all the conflicts between each government and the fear of terrorism happening. It will be very difficult for an NBA team to operate in Mexico considering this situations
If there’s 2 teams, shouldn’t there be one in each the Western & Eastern conf.? If Seattle brings a team back, then a team in Montreal would be cool for the eastern conference
Montreal would not work. NBA players are already hesitant going to Canada. Montreal being a primarily French speaking place is somewhere where no black American athlete wants to be. Vancouver is the only other place in Canada where the NBA would succeed.
More draftees, more roster spots, more players getting the chance to prove they belong in the NBA. I'm all for it!
Yes! Especially now a days when there are so many more basketball athletes it would be great if more people could get drafted. It’s not like a few decades ago,where tall athletic dudes were rare, there are so many talented people who get overlooked for more flashy players because of limited draft space
Players have more chances then ever before to getting jnto the NBA undrafted
The players that ARE in the NBA are trash. Players that are buried at the bottom of a roster averaging .4 points per year. And people want to add 30 more players who are trash???? LMAOOOO
Draft Simmons for the east and Schroeder to the west expansions.
Every day it's looking like it's gonna be Seattle and Vegas. So both West teams. Which means new orleans and memphis might end up being moved to the East. Which makes sense location wise and since NO actually played in the east before.
this gives Simmons another shot at ROY
@@eric-is2ix Only one of them will be moved.
Jesus loves you ❤️❤️❤️

This was very informative. Good job as always
Man thanks for this new info. I hope soon we see new teams to compete in the NBA bc this means more action and more players will get to play
amazing video you can tell this guy truly loves basketball yet can place his objective views on the sport. From the USA keep it going brother
Great video! Very educational. Excellent job!
Very informative video, great stuff!
Appreciate your effort for putting the whole video script in the description 🔥🔥🔥
Very good video. You should do one on the 04 bobcats each pick and why they chose who they did I know there were picks and money exchanged to take certain guys super interesting I can’t find a video on it though
Hi Heat Check thanks for the videos
Dude... am I the only who has noticed that when he shoots a real ball, he shoots with his left. But with the nerf ball he shoots righty? What kind of sorcery is this? No wonder he keeps missing on the nerf ball 🤣🤣
Dude its so hard and weird to shoot a tiny ball with the left 😂 and probably screws up the lefty stroke
@@MisterManiac it doesn't
@@TheGodReese What @Mister Maniac said
Must not be left handed
As a lefty who shoots lefty on a nerf hoop, it isn’t difficult at all. Stefen must just be righty
Damn bro, you've been on fire!
Love the daily uploads!
Damn, bro! He's on fire! Like a lit log laying in the light.
Like a dragon in the mist breathing fire, cuz he's pissed.
this channel is fantastic
Great content!! Keep it up!
Bro just by watching your videos I can tell you were a beast at PowerPoint project presentations at school 💯😂
Every team needs a Mark Cuban or a Steve Ballmer in their life.
A guy who through thick and thin will support you with THE MOST enthusiasm
Great video
To not mention Vancouver as a possible destinations was a bit astounding. It’s most definitely higher on the list than places like Pittsburg. The top three would be Seattle, with Vegas and Vancouver below that.
With how talent is surging in the league it's such a good time to add at least 1 new team
Nobody's gonna mention that charles barkley just kiss that guy on his lips? 5:08
Crazy bro
I think they should bring back seattle, and add a las vegas team
"Las Vegas Gamblers"
@@topbud8551 that would be a horrible name you've got the raiders (nfl) and golden knights (nhl) I think if that were to happen they should keep the warrior an battler theme call themselves the Spartans or something along those lines
Las Vegas Gambits would be a better name
Las Vegas Hustle would be a better
I prefer Vancouver
The only city more mysterious than the identity of the NBA's next expansion is Stephan's current city. I'm betting St New Yorksva
Probably Skoplje

We gotta start a petition to bring back the Sonics man Seattle really deserves a team also I make videos as well
I heard Seattle is a shitty city now
Seattle only "deserves" the socialist hellscape they voted for
No they don’t. Seattle lost their team because of lack of ticket sales. It’s a low market place, it’s not worth it.
@@robert2690 no the commissioner literally said its a good market
@@sharifnasser7635 ignore the comments above. No have no clue what they're talking about lol. Seattle is a perfect town for a bball team
Another banger
NIce little video essay. As a single-language person I am impressed at the quality of your video considering you are doing it in a language other than your native.
I want to point out that one of the 10 losses that the Bulls suffered during the 1995-96 season was in the hands of Toronto Raptors, an expansion team that year. Just saying 🙃
Hey Stefan! What happened to Grind Season???
Also. Can you talk about the kid Yurtsevan? I think he’s got lots of potential.
nice Video
Thanks!
If Seattle gets a team back, it should be named Sonics and have their history and records like the Bobcats did with the Hornets.
If they were to add 2 teams in the league, the playoffs must be round of 32.
Nah it's fine actually, half the teams make the play offs is enough
Round of 32 means 32 teams in the playoffs. Why? Why should trash teams compete? They are not in a position to compete.
Then regular season means nothing.
Need the Seatle SuperSonics back!
Yo bro you must post more edited videos on Facebook trust me more views will come you way. Much love in the philippines!
As a blazers fan i've heard the stories of the supersonics and the blazers matchups so I kinda wanna see them back
Hi Stephan. Will you do a video with a quick explanation of how you can enter the NBA?
As in Drafts I know but also some players that are not drafted... which is it?
I dont get it.
Your fan from Argentina here.
Some players can still be signed by teams without drafting them. Those players can be from other leagues outside the NBA like the Euroleague, even NBA's G-League.
@@RayleighSilvers so getting into the NBA via draft is not the only way?
And it you are a player from Europe... whats the point of getting in the draft then?
If you can just be traded (bought) from OKC or the Knicks or sth
@@RayleighSilvers and why you say "some" ?
As in some can but others don't?
@@bochatube Yes, draft isn't the only way to be in the NBA.
I'm actually not sure what makes a player to be draft eligible, and who can be signed without going through the draft.
Luka was from the Euroleague but he was drafted, Campazo was also from the Euroleague but the Nuggets just signed him. Maybe age is a factor? Or maybe the number of years of being pro. I'm not sure.
@@RayleighSilvers exaaactly! See? we need more data. Freaking White Kyrie better shine some light on us damn it
Hahahaa
heat check realy smart nba ropic
NHL also acquired Vegas 4 years ago and Seattle this summer by the way.
Seattle need the Sonics back and for Canada I would say Vancouver again.
It will be crazy if there's a new team added !
the easiest way to address the issue of conferences and divisions after expansion would be adding two western conference teams, so let's say seattle and las vegas, and then moving minnesota east. then you can reorganize the two conferences into 4 divisions with 4 teams each. it would significantly reduce travel times for a lot of teams, especially minnesota.
Steve is the evolving coach mameehn👌
well lil bias because I am from Vancouver but I want the super sonics back in Seattle and Vancouver to get a team again, hopefully doing something similar like Charlette to get the grizzlies name back.
St Louis
There are so many basketball fans here and we already have an arena. Cardinals and Blues both stay toward the top of attendance and tv ratings in their leagues.
Now i need to search bout that vancouver's #50 guy
I think there should be Seattle first then Tampa bay then Vancouver then Montreal.
I think the names should be Seattle SuperSonics because it is iconic, then Tampa bay panthers, then Vancouver vipers, then Montreal dragons.
Shift Memphis to East
Add 2 out of Seattle, Las Vegas, Vancouver
Only one with a brain, same name as me but Vancouver, and not Vegas.
this
minnesota is a better candidate for a conference switch.
@@marebalvan7963 nah look at a map
Seattle and Vancouver will make it happen!!
I think the losses due to Covid could be the biggest jumping-off point for an expansion. They could be convinced with revenue sharing and expansion fees (which are usually split between the NBA and the rest of the league's teams, essentially paying for a piece of the market share. The league would have to add two and two teams in Vancouver and Seattle could be awesome and then move the Grizzlies or Pelicans to the East.
Montreal could also be an interesting expansion destination but the most important part is finding investors and groups willing to expand to those locations along with infrastructure in place and market viability.
There needs to be 6 teams added. 2 of them are reclimations - Seattle and Vancouver. The other teams should be from Los Vages - Kansas City - Cincitanti/Louville - Montreal. There are 2 many teams that are stacked espiecilly from 1-3 positions.
Seattle & Las Vegas have been the top 2 locations discussed for the expansion teams. This would work well to me because all the league has to do is send New Orleans & Memphis to the Eastern Conference and place OKC(who is in the Northwest division) & Las Vegas in the Southwest division. Then Seattle can go back to the Northwest division even though division has a smaller impact than it use to. For people wondering New Orleans and Memphis could go to the Southeast division or Memphis could go to the central division either way they will be in the east now. This is just my opinion/theory though idk what the league is going to do.
Yes! Bring back the Sonics
6:00 team dilution due to expansion drafts gotta be one of the biggest myths in MBA history lol
Why is that?
The teams I want:
West:
Seattle
Las Vegas
San Diego
East:
Tampa Bay
Pittsburgh
Montreal
Edit: Mexico City and Buffalo could be cool as well.
Des Moines, but it’s definitely not going to happen. Might be a little too small, only 522,000 live in the metro area.
No to San Diego and Tampa Cali already has 4 teams you want to add another 1? And Florida already has 2
@@kitsumig8373 Yeah. The NBA isn't adding teams to small cities because it won't bring in enough revenue. Cali and Florida teams do.
@@LB-zg4qi Seattle and Vancouver would both get more than all the ones you named
@@powerplaysportspodcast4711 Its almost the same amount as Wyoming population so maybe.
It should be Seattle and Vancouver. Give them back their teams! Vagas is just a tourist trap not a market!
SERIOUS QUESTION: Where did you buy the ball and the basket bro? Any online link? I want to buy it so much 🤣🤣🤣
I love Seattle to return to NBA. It's just sad their team was taken, but in my NBALive 05, I already added them.
may we have expansion teams as well as the first ever in NBA history, a live FANTASY draft. wont hurt to dream hehe
6:50 who is the guy Jordan is coaching? Dude looks so familiar.
Bruh we gotta get another Canadian team in the nba
Two of Seattle, Las Vegas and Vancouver would be good additions. This allows New Orleans and Memphis to move to the east which would make sense as they are very eastern
U consider lousiana the east lol? U also consider Texas east?
2:10 is that an elf/goblin lol
I do agree on having new teams specially, to bring back an old team which is the Seattle Super Sonics and maybe Gary Payton would coach them the Sonics and they could also get his son on the lineup. I hope they would rock their OG green uniform back from Gary Payton and Shaun Kemp's days #bringbackthesonics
I want to see Montreal
Man Pittsburgh needs to bring back the Condors/Pipers
I was wondering (or to put it simply, to lazy to research) what the records of the newly expanded teams were during the Bulls' 72 win season?
Please oh please bring back the Seattle Sonic's. Everyone in Seattle loved them, and even kevin Durant said he wants to retire in seattle
Seattle for sure. St. Louis, Austin, Tampa, Nashville, or Vegas. Maybe Pitt. I would suggest San Diego, but that would make 5 teams in Cali. When you look at the largest US metro areas without a team already, these make the most sense.
Seattle deserves their team back, and personally, I think an NBA team in Austin would be massive, even with San Antonio and Dallas being on the same interstate. Coming from a Mavs fan. Largest city in the country without a pro sports team. Either way, I would love to see any of these cities in the NBA.
They should just for this draft class. It is filled with a lot talent
Did you know Seattle SuperSonics were named after a plane that we never built? Seattle was supposed to be home to the American SuperSonic Commercial Jet that was going to compete with the Concorde? Boeing was supposed to build that Boeing 2707 in Seattle due to high cost and Sonic Booms complaints the Project was cancelled. This cost Seattle to lose 60,000 Jobs. Famously somebody paid for a Billboard that read "Who ever is the last to leave Seattle please turn out the lights!"
Interesting because Boeing's home is Seattle. All makes sense now.
If they add expansion teams again it honestly should be Seattle and Montreal. Everyone misses Seattle in the league so they should add them back plus having another Canadian team to rival toronto in the east would be cool
You drafted... 😁😂🤣😋
Add Seattle and Las Vegas for the Western conference teams, and re-align the Grizzlies to the Eastern conference since its closer to the east coast anyway.
Move Memphis east, change their name, put a team in Vancouver called the Grizzlies, and one in Seattle.
Hell no Vancouver is never getting a nba team again. Look at the Raptors, they always struggle to get big free agents and good role players. Plus Players still hesitant playing in Canada
@@JizMafia Adam Silver says it's one of the NBA's biggest regrets for allowing the Vancouver franchise to relocate. Silver also stated that the goal is to expand internationally (Vancouver). Also, pretty much EVERY city struggles to get big name free agents besides the teams in California.
@@JizMafia hate to break it to you buddy, but the momentum is there. Looks like it will realistically be happening in the next 3-4 years. Ownership and sponsorship is there with financial backing.
Sonics vs Vegas in 2040 confirmed.
Ediwow
If we do Las Vegas and Seattle we have to do two teams on the east coast like Tampa Bay and Trenton or Pittsburgh. Or if they were definitely doing Las Vegas and Seattle they could add a Canada team like Montreal because they need another Eastern Conference team.
Move Memphis east and add Vancouver and Seattle, not Vegas.
Pointless to get more teams when all the stars wanna do trios
In my opinion I would have move New Orleans and Memphis to the Eastern Conference and add Seattle and Las Vegas in the West
They should add 2 teams, add one playoff spot, then change it to no conferences and and a first round bye for 1st seed
The more the merrier... and of course more stars and talents will rise 👍🏻😁
ST LOUIS TEAM NEEDS TO HAPPEN
Nah the players would get shot up as soon as they step foot on a St Louis street
32 teams
Playoffs will start with 32 teams lol that would be a bloodbath
Schroeder and Ben Simmons - dynamic duo
I believe the fair way of going about expansion is relaxed penalties for going into the luxury tax for a limited time frame.
It would provoke growth in the new market since they'd be building a team of established free agents.
Giving them preferential draft pick positions obviously comes to mind but I believe penalizing the worst existing teams isn't the way to go.
If the new owner wants to buy a winner then let them.
Teams could simply protect their own players by paying them.
Honestly if they would let expansion teams use their entire cap then they might not even need an expansion draft and teams wouldn't have to worry about player protections. Maybe also two 1st's and 2nd's for the first 2 years so that the teams can get an instant infusion of young talent. That way the expansion teams might also be relatively competitive off the jump rather than having to take a decade to reach the playoffs.
Seattle and Vancouver. bring them back
if there will be more teams added, that means more talent will be given a chance, and more job opportunity for backcourt fellas🙏🙏🙏
Missouri seriously needs a team
Mexico Tackos 💪
If seattle comes back will they get their nba history back? Like the chips and retired numbers or will they still be okc’s?
Seattle and Louisville fasho
They should add teams in Las Vegas & Seattle then move New Orleans & Memphis to the Eastern Conference
Definitely don’t get rid of conferences. You get more marquee matchups and stories with conferences. And being a conference champ is an accolade
Adam silver looks like Voldemort
