Josh Goldenberg is quoted in a Last Word on Sports article examining Las Vegas and Seattle as leading contenders for NBA expansion. With expansion fees expected to range from $7 billion to $10 billion, the league is evaluating ownership groups in both markets.

“I think there are probably a lot of folks who aren’t household names, necessarily,” said Josh. “Any ownership group in Seattle is likely to include a lot of people; it’s likely to be a fairly large group of owners to be able to pay that fee. There could be some big names or public figures involved in a group. But that doesn’t mean that those public figures are the ones who will have a significant ownership stake; they could be strategic investors.”
