Listen Later

In this edition of "Inside the Arena!" KOMO Sports Director Niko Tamurian and KOMO News Senior Reporter Chris Daniels get into the business side of NBA Expansion.

Niko and Chris share a portion of a conversation with Ed Tapscott, who was the first hire of the NBA's expansion Charlotte Bobcats. Tapscott talked about the process during a lengthy interview done in partnership with the Iconic Sonics Podcast. He talks candidly about what went right and what went wrong when starting up a brand new NBA franchise, and if there are lessons learned for Seattle.

Plus, Chris shares more about the secret stash of Sonics memorabilia that stayed in Seattle and is ready to be unboxed should the NBA return. You will hear from the Executive Director of the Museum of History and Industry about the deal with Clay Bennett to preserve the old banners and retired jerseys.

As usual, Niko and Chris discuss what's good and bad in the local sports business world in "Four Corners".
