The NBA is closing in on a historic decision, with the league reviewing finalist bids for its Las Vegas expansion franchise in the twelve to thirteen billion dollar range. Three groups are in the running — Nancy Walton Laurie and Bill Laurie, Steve Apostolopoulos and Marc Lasry, and the pairing of Bill Foley and Jerry Colangelo. A selection is expected soon, and whoever lands this franchise is buying into what could become the league's most valuable market overnight.
Shifting to football, the confidence level around Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is taking a serious hit. Analysts are describing the drop in trust as falling fast, and that kind of language around a young franchise quarterback sends real shockwaves through a locker room and a front office. Green Bay needs answers, and they need them before this season slips away entirely.
Meanwhile in Dallas, Jerry Jones is hinting at a potential trade that could shake up the Cowboys roster. Jones being vocal about a possible move is never accidental — the man understands the spotlight, and when he speaks, the league listens. Whether this materializes into something real or stays in the realm of leverage, Dallas is clearly not standing still.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
