Andrew the top story this week is that we finally got some real news about possible expansion in the NBA. On Monday, Shamshirani reported the NBA will hold a vote at the Board of Governors meeting this upcoming week to explore adding two expansion teams, one in Las Vegas and one in Seattle. If approved, the new teams could start play as soon as the 202829 season, which means that we could get an expansion draft. The dream of every NBA podcaster. Something we have not experienced in almost a quarter century. Never experienced. The era of podcasts. Yeah. In the summer of 2021, Shams reported that industry executives expect the cost for each expansion team to fall in the 7 to $10 billion range. For context, just last year the Celtics sold for 6.1 billion, while the Lakers sold for 10 billion. Speaking of the Lakers, what a week it was for our friends in purple and gold. The Lakers won all four of their games and are currently on an eight game winning streak. The week started with a thrilling overtime win against Denver during which Austin Reese forced overtime by Rebo his own intentionally missed free throw, floating it back in with 1.9 seconds left in regulation. Then at overtime, Luka Doncic hit a game winner with 0.5 seconds left, one of many, many memorable moments for Luca this week. In the second of two games against the Rockets, Luca had 10 points and three assists just in the final five minutes of the game, almost single handedly ending what had been a very close game. Then in Miami on Thursday night, Luca dropped 60 in a win while LeBron tied Celtics legend Robert Parish for most regular season games played. Over this eight game stretch, Luka is averaging 33, 9 and 7 while shooting 42% on over 14 three point attempts per game. That's, that's crazy. Luka is now only 10 threes behind Con Caniple for most threes made this season.
