As much as they&#8217;re one of the favourites to get a team, are they in danger of losing out?<\/p>\n<p>COVID killed about 40% of the NBA&#8217;s revenue and everyone could do with the $4 billion extra revenue from adding two NBA expansion teams. Seattle is odds on favourite to get a team &#8211; the first expansion since the Charlotte Bobcats in 2004 &#8211; and a Kansas City NBA expansion team is a real possibility.<\/p>\n<p>Kansas City has a great basketball history. It was home to the Kansas City Kings before relocation to Sacramento in 1985. The American Basketball Association team Kansas City Knights were also in the city until the league shut in 2005. The National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame is also in Kansas City as well as the annual Big 12 tournament.<\/p>\n<p>T-Mobile Center is located downtown and was built to handle an NBA and NHL team with more than 19,000 seats. The arena is located downtown with the appealing Westport nearby for eating and shopping.<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest advantages for a potential franchise is that it&#8217;s an untapped market. There are no NBA teams nearby with Oklahoma City 350-miles away southwest and Memphis 450-miles southeast.<\/p>\n<p>And don&#8217;t forget, Kansas City is already home to die-hard fans supporting the Chiefs and Royals. There&#8217;s a big problem for a Kansas City NBA expansion team however.<\/p>\n<p>Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Kansas City needs a billionaire to get an NBA team or it&#8217;ll go to Las Vegas <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/AWRUhhIkd2\">https:\/\/t.co\/AWRUhhIkd2<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 CNBC (@CNBC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CNBC\/status\/1349729422597791745?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 14, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s almost a given that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wolfgangsport.com\/seattle-supersonics-nba-expansion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Seattle will get the next NBA expansion franchise for many reasons<\/a> and a second franchise is gonna be needed to balance the conferences.

One of the wealthiest people in the world Charles Koch lives in Kansas as well as billionaire Min Kao and his family who have roots a stone&#8217;s throw away from Kansas City.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps it&#8217;ll be Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes who will be the key to bringing an NBA expansion franchise to Kansas City. He&#8217;s on the largest contract in sports history worth up to $503 million which ties him to Kansas City, and he&#8217;s already a part owner in Kansas City&#8217;s MLB team the Royals as well as MLS team Sporting Kansas City.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Good thread if you\u2019re curious of how well Mahomes has invested.
