Before the league made the official announcement, the NBA office first discussed with the management of the Glare team whether they agreed to switch to the Eastern Conference next season.
Wang Fuxi convened an internal meeting with senior executives and immediately informed Gan Guoyang to make a decision.
In fact, when the Glare was first established, Gan Guoyang considered that such a situation would occur.
After all, in the 80s, there were precedents with the Heat and Timberwolves; the reason then was to expand NBA's appeal in new markets, letting popular teams like the Bulls, Lakers, and Trail Blazers play more in Miami and Minnesota, allowing local audiences to buy tickets and watch games.
This time, the reason is not to develop the Las Vegas basketball market but to hope that the Glare moving to the Eastern Conference will energize the entire Eastern region, which is sluggish and lacks competitiveness.
