Franchise in Vegas

There is no planned commitments for franchise in Nevada. David Stern has yet to undergo serious talks with Las Vegas about a NBA team moving there. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/basketball/nba/specials/preview/2007/10/26/vegas.arena.ap/index.html. He did say that a NBA quality arena would enhance their chances. This is coming from a commissioner who is promoting putting teams across the oceans, but is not seriously considering a franchise in a city that would have a huge revenue flow. I think David Stern's priorities need to be reordered. Here he is pushing for six teams across in Europe when there is a one city pushing hard for a team right here in the U.S. One of the problems is that gambling is legal there so Stern is uncomfortable with the idea of putting a franchise in Las Vegas, but there is a possibility that NBA games would be taken off the betting boards. I think if this happened, along with the arena being built David Stern has too seriously consider if not fully commit to placing a team in Las Vegas. There is no question that the team would make a profit, but there is the problem of the NBA's image. I say that this is not a big deal considering the player brawls, nba ref scandals, etc. In all reality there are plenty of cities that are suitable for a NBA franchise, but none that have a guaranteed success in Las Vegas. When David Stern gets his head out of Europe he should seriously start helping Las Vegas be the next city to have a NBA team.
