Looks like the NBA is about to announce expansion to Seattle and Vegas. Not surprising since I think we've all expected this to happen, although I wasn't expecting an announcement this Fall. The good news for Minnesota is that expansion to those two cities eliminates any meaningful risk of the Wolves leaving the State. With Seattle and Vegas getting expansion teams, there aren't any viable locations for the Wolves outside the Twin Cities. LA, NY and Florida each have two teams already. Texas has three teams. I guess Baltimore is a possibility, but the Wizards are already in that market. I suppose Kansas City and St. Louis are possibilities, but those are long shots to say the least.
