The NBA continues to resist the idea of expansion despite an obvious location in Seattle and strong candidates in Las Vegas, Mexico City and Kansas City.

"As I’ve said before, expansion is not on our agenda right now. We may turn back to it at some point. And I’ve had this discussion with both Mayor Goodmans (Oscar and Carolyn) in Las Vegas about their desire for us to expand and have said I view us as, in essence, already having a team in Las Vegas because we have a two-week-plus Summer League there every summer, which has enormous economic impact on the city.

"So before the NFL announced they were putting a franchise, before the NHL put in a franchise, the Golden Knights, in Las Vegas, we of course had an All-Star Game in Las Vegas. So we’ve been heavily involved there for a long time.

"Expansion, at least for right now, even to the question earlier about parity, I’m very focused on creating a competitive 30-team league right now. Part of it, in a way it’s quite remarkable that when you have a league with the amount of basketball being played on a global basis and the 450 best players in the world all coming to one league, and understandably people are saying can’t you do more to create more competition among your 30 teams, at least from a competitive standpoint my first reaction isn’t to think, all right, let’s add a 31st team or 32nd team. It is to see what is it we can do system-wise, training-wise, whatever it takes to create more competition within this league.

"But invariably, as I’ve said before, it’s only natural for any business to grow and expand at some point, so we’ll look back to expansion.

"It’s not just Las Vegas. There are lots of terrific markets out there in the United States and some in countries attached to the United States who also have wonderful cities that could potentially house NBA teams. So those are all things we’ll continue to look at."

The NBA last expanded in 2004 with Charlotte, which replaced a franchise that had relocated to New Orleans.

The National Basketball Players Association has announced the launch of its new Mental Health and Wellness Program. The Program will serve as a resource for all NBPA members, assisting them with a wide range of mental health challenges and issues.

The Mental Health and Wellness Program will be developed and managed solely by the NBPA, with its primary headquarters located in Los Angeles. Keyon Dooling, who has been serving as the NBPA Player Wellness Counselor since January 2018, will soon be joined by a Director of Mental Health and Wellness.

“In recent months, several of our players have spoken candidly about their internal struggles,” said NBPA Executive Director Michele Roberts. “Their stories have reminded us all that mental health challenges may be faced by everyone, including professional athletes. This is an area that can no longer be neglected. As a Players Association, it is our responsibility to provide our members the resources to succeed both mentally and physically. Accordingly, we have decided to make mental health a priority now.”

“I am thrilled to be a part of this new program within the NBPA,” said Keyon Dooling. “I look forward to serving the needs of our players and to continue normalizing the conversation around mental health in the NBA.”

Seattle has been working on a renovation plan for KeyArena, which they hope can attract franchises in the NBA and NHL.

This renovation plan comes after Chris Hansen was unsuccessful in getting an NBA team to his site in SoDo.

The KeyArena renovation, however, may not be up to the NBA's standards for an arena.

"I don't believe the arena deal Seattle settled on was adequate for the NBA and until they have that, it's a non-starter," wrote Brian Windhorst.

Mark Cuban believes the decision from the United States Supreme Court to allow states to decide whether to legalize sports betting will increase the revenues for sports leagues.

"I think everyone who owns a top four professional sports team just basically saw the value of their team double," Cuban said in a "Squawk Alley" interview. "It can finally become fun to go to a baseball game again.

"It's easy to see how you'll have fun at the stadium, at the arena or while you're watching —whether its online or traditional platform."

Tillman Fertitta is less bullish than Cuban.

"Do I hope Mark is right? Yes, but I don't think that's where it really is," he said Monday on "Power Lunch."

"Remember, there's already a black market … out there and you're not going to be able to go to a game and bet on a game," said Fertitta. "Even though this has been pushed back to the states, there is still going to be a lot of federal regulation."

The United States Supreme Court has ruled 7-2 to overturn the federal ban on sports gambling.

"Congress can regulate sports gambling directly, but if it elects not to do so, each State is free to act on its own."

The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act did not ban sports gambling nationwide as a matter of federal law, but it said the states were not allowed to permit it. The law had passed in 1992 but Nevada was grandfathered in.

Chris Christie challenged the law, arguing that it violated the Tenth Amendment, which the Supreme Court has said prohibits federal laws that compel states to carry out federal dictates.
