I was tempted to post this in the #WNBA subfolder, because I am obviously more interested in the potential WNBA implications. The Suns are owned by Robert Sarver. The Mercury are also owned by Robert Sarver. Both Seattle and Las Vegas already have independently owned** WNBA teams. So... if the Suns are approved for relocation, what happens to the Mercury?
**Independently owned, of course, meaning having ownership groups not affiliated with any NBA franchise.
