JD asks Bobby Marks, ESPN NBA front office insider, about the possibilities and ripple effects of NBA expansion. Bobby analyzes the viability of the proposed destinations in Las Vegas and Seattle, what else is on the slate at the NBA's Board of Governors meeting, how tanking may be curtailed, if there's chance of reducing the 82-game schedule, and what he thinks of the projected 2026 lottery picks.
