Bill Simmons Slams NBA Expansion as ‘Money Grab,’ Citing Tanking Concerns
Bill Simmons has heavily criticized the NBA’s potential expansion plans, calling it a “money grab” that will worsen the on-court product by encouraging more ‘tanking.’
With expansion talks heating up for markets like Seattle and Las Vegas, Simmons argues that adding more teams will only increase the number of non-competitive franchises.
Former player Tracy McGrady also expressed reservations, questioning whether the league possesses enough talent to support two new teams without compromising overall quality.
