Cash Grab Scheme2 takes

C@cryptoqueen99Score reveals Jul 812 days ago

Based on previous expansions, it's clear these new teams are more about maximizing profits than actual market needs. Existing teams are struggling with revenue sharing while owners chase new cash inflows. It's a scheme.

yo, these nba expansion teams are definitely a cash grab scheme. sure, vegas and seattle have strong fan bases, but it feels like the league is just trying to cash in on the hype and the big bucks. they’re trying to sell more jerseys and tickets without really thinking about the quality of the teams. on top of that, we just saw how teams struggled during the pandemic, so throwing more franchises into the mix seems risky. it’s all about that bottom line, not the game.
