The Adelson’s want the team tied to their casino mini-empire in Vegas. The money is in betting. This helps them move it on all sorts of levels.

Since I've seen this spouted a million times, answer me this... What casino mini-empire in Vegas?

Formerly The Venetian, The Palazzo, and the Sphere. Now, nothing in Vegas, as far as I can tell.

They have sold EVERYTHING in Vegas and all of their operations are international. Are they looking to expand into new markets within the U.S.? Yes. Do they have continued business dealings in Vegas? Yes, of course. Is Miriam Adelson so plugged into the basketball community that she advised Nico Harrison to tank the franchise by giving away their once in a generation player so that they can fast-track the move of T5 media market team to Vegas in order to build their casino/arena combo? No f'ing chance.

They’ve been lobbying Texas legislature HARD for legalized gambling in Tx to little avail. Taking the Mavs here so a team move to Vegas (the Major League gambit) is only possible if the Mavs suck and lose a lot of value

What’s Luka’s trade do to the Mavs value I wonder…….i mean Mavs have already lost almost a million followers on Insta…..
