Adam Silver expects NBA to take next steps toward expansion this summer
OKLAHOMA CITY — NBA expansion has felt like a pot of water sitting on the NBA's stovetop for a long time, with the heat kept on low. Everyone knows that eventually the heat will be cranked up, the water will boil, and there will be cooking, but so far, everything is just being kept warm. This July, expect the NBA to turn up the heat. That was the takeaway from NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, speaking to the media before Game 1 of the NBA Finals. He was asked about the owners' temperature on expansion. 'I'd say the current sense is we should be exploring it,' Silver said. 'I don't think it's automatic because it depends on your perspective on the future of the league. As I've said before, expansion, in a way, is selling equity in the league. If you believe in the league, you don't necessarily want to add partners. On the other hand, we recognize there are underserved markets in the United States and elsewhere… 'We have an owners' meeting in July in Las Vegas. It will be on the agenda to take the temperature of the room. We have committees that are already talking about it. But my sense is at that meeting, they're going to give direction to me and my colleagues at the league office that we should continue to explore it.' Adam Silver's newest comments on expansion. 'The current sense is, we should be exploring it.' Says it will be discussed further at Board of Governors meeting in July. Also goes on to talk about the idea of European expansion. That exploration will be a more formal process, although Silver, always cautious in his public statements, wouldn't go beyond that. 'What I expect is if a decision is made that there should be further exploration by the league office and presumably a committee of team owners, it would be more of a formal process,' Silver said. What that likely means is the league starts meeting with potential ownership groups. 'There's been no lack of interest. Certainly I've gotten a lot of unsolicited calls,' Silver said. 'I essentially have said to people from several different cities, We're just not engaging in that process right now. I want to be fair to everyone. So I don't want to have meeting with some and not others. 'So if we were to say yes, we're now going to move into a more formal exploratory phase, we would take those meetings and in addition likely we would engage with outside advisors who would look at markets, look at economic opportunities and media opportunities, et cetera.' The expectation in league circles is that the NBA will ultimately move forward with expansion, with two teams: Seattle and, most likely, Las Vegas. Silver and the league office had wanted to wait for a new CBA to be in place (ensuring stability) as well as the new television deal finalized before moving forward. Those are now done. The NBA also waited for the sale of the Boston Celtics — with the franchise value in that sale set at $6 billion — before moving forward, so the league could have an idea what it could ask for in expansion fees. The sale of the Portland Trail Blazers, a process that has just begun, will also be factored into that expansion price tag. Expect the heat to be turned up on the expansion process this summer when the owners get together in Las Vegas. Maybe then everything will move toward a boil.

Swiss government proposes tough new capital rules in major blow to UBS
The Swiss government on Friday proposed strict new capital regulations on banking giant UBS following its 2023 takeover of stricken rival Credit Suisse. The measures could mean that UBS will need to hold an additional $26 billion in core capital and carry out fewer share buybacks. "The rise in the going-concern requirement needs to be met with up to USD 26 billion of CET1 capital, to allow the AT1 bond holdings to be reduced by around USD 8 billion," the government said in a Friday statement, referring to UBS' holding of Additional Tier 1 (AT1) bonds. UBS has been battling the specter of tighter capital rules since acquiring the country's second-largest bank at a cut-price following years of strategic errors, mismanagement and scandals at Credit Suisse. The shock demise of the banking giant also brought Swiss financial regulator FINMA under fire for its perceived scarce supervision of the bank and the ultimate timing of its intervention. Swiss regulators argue that UBS must have stronger capital requirements to safeguard the national economy and financial system, given the bank's balance topped $1.7 trillion in 2023, roughly double the projected Swiss economic output of last year. UBS insists it is not "too big to fail" and that the additional capital requirements — set to drain its cash liquidity — will impact the bank's competitiveness. At the heart of the standoff are pressing concerns over UBS' ability to buffer any prospective losses at its foreign units, where it has, until now, had the duty to back 60% of capital with capital at the parent bank. Higher capital requirements can whittle down a bank's balance sheet and credit supply by bolstering a lender's funding costs and choking off their willingness to lend — as well as waning their appetite for risk. For shareholders, of note will be the potential impact on discretionary funds available for distribution, including dividends, share buybacks and bonus payments. "While winding down Credit Suisse's legacy businesses should free up capital and reduce costs for UBS, much of these gains could be absorbed by stricter regulatory demands," Johann Scholtz, senior equity analyst at Morningstar, said in a note preceding the FINMA announcement. "Such measures may place UBS's capital requirements well above those faced by rivals in the United States, putting pressure on returns and reducing prospects for narrowing its long-term valuation gap. Even its long-standing premium rating relative to the European banking sector has recently evaporated." The prospect of stringent Swiss capital rules and UBS' extensive U.S. presence through its core global wealth management division comes as White House trade tariffs already weigh on the bank's fortunes. In a dramatic twist, the bank lost its crown as continental Europe's most valuable lender by market capitalization to Spanish giant Santander in mid-April.
