Will this point shaving scandal keep the NBA out of Las Vegas?

Question

After this whole scandal and the mafia being linked to the NBA do you think this will keep the NBA out of Las Vegas?

Answer 1

it wasn't teams involved it was a ref...which is even worse...and i wonder if its just the tip of the iceburg...and no i dont think it will stop them if they ever do get an expansion team...and it would be real nice if they did get one.

Answer 2

Not necessarily, but i think it will set it back a couple of years if Las Vegas was indeed going to get a team. Definitely, not within the next 5 years. It will take that long for everyone to forget about this incident.

Answer 3

For a while, but I don't think that Vegas should have a team for the following:
-Gambling alreading is in there, so you don't know what that'll lead to
-LV needs an arena, b/c the Thomas & Mack Center is older and smaller than ARCO Arena
-Vegas already has a lot of things that can entertain people

Answer 4

It's definately going to hurt the chances of it happening. And this thing isn't over. I've got a feeling it's just going to get bigger and bigger.

Who is really surprised though?? The NBA's referees are the least accurate of any officials in sports. And more often than not, it's one team getting all the calls. Go figure.

Answer 5

Yes for now but will be considered again in the future when people forget. People will forget eventually and everything will return to normal. Thats when Vegas will be considered again for a team.

Answer 6

no , but i think and game with teams found to be involved will be watched by vegas security and fbi

Answer 7

I doubt it, I think that this is an isolated incident and shouldn't change where a team would be placed.
