The NBA currently has no concrete expansion plans in place. Commissioner Adam Silver recently denied a rumor that the 30-team league was considering Las Vegas and Seattle as candidates to host expansion franchises as soon as 2024.
James, who recently became the league's first active player with an estimated net worth of $1 billion, previously opened up about his goal of owning an NBA franchise last season.
