Shaquille O’Neal seems to have some inside info.
The Hall of Fame center revealed on The Big Podcast with Shaq that multiple teams are up for sale and Las Vegas is one city the NBA would consider if it decided on relocation.
“I heard through the grapevine that there are a couple teams for sale and one may be going to Vegas,” O’Neal said.
He did not reveal which teams are up for sale or considering Las Vegas as a possible landing spot.
Las Vegas makes a lot of sense for the NBA, given the city just got an NFL team and has widely accepted its NHL team it got a few years ago.
Sports Illustrated got a bit more information on Shaq’s claim and they got the name of a different city.

“That said, most around the league contacted by SI.com believe if the league ever does decide on relocation or expansion, Seattle would be the first city to warrant consideration.”
Given the coronavirus pandemic in the country, this is not something that would be happening anytime soon.
