Shaquille O'Neal would 'definitely be involved' in potential ownership bid with expansion NBA team
Shaquille O’Neal smiled as he walked into Club SI for a party he was co-hosting with David Beckham during Saturday night’s Las Vegas Grand Prix and did his best British accent. “We’re very close,” O’Neal told The Messenger. “The fact that I have David Beckham’s number and Tom Brady’s number in my phone, it doesn’t get any bigger than that.” The last time I talked to O’Neal, he told me he wanted to help bring an NBA team to Las Vegas but wasn’t interested in partnering with LeBron James. O’Neal, however, has softened his stance and would welcome a partnership with James. “If there’s ever an NBA team that’s going to come here, I would definitely like to be involved,” he said. “With LeBron, without LeBron, I just want to be involved.”

More on this storyline
Three and a half years removed from their 2020 title run, Lakers owner Jeanie Buss says the race is already on to capture title number 18. This season, despite some flashes of greatness from LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the Lakers have struggled to capture the same magic they had years ago, but the team knows that fans expect nothing but the best. “From the fans perspective, they don’t like to be patient,” said Buss via the LA Times. “Fans want to see the continuity/growth. Laker fans have been spoiled as they should be, but it’s been a long time since we’ve hoisted an NBA Finals in our arena, so we want to get back there.” -via Fade Away World / November 19, 2023
