The relocation stuff makes no sense guys. Do people realize that the Adelsons don't even own property in Vegas anymore? Why not just wait for an expansion team which would be cheaper? If James' wants to own a Vegas team, why would he be targeting a team that's already owned?
This was always about getting what they wanted IN DALLAS. If the state of Texas denies them that then they'll just sell the team (please god let that happen).
Relocation is expensive and costs a ton of money and rebuilding a casino in Vegas is a bad business move because of the saturation. It was all about the Texas untapped gambling market.
Also, the threat of relocating to Vegas would mean nothing to state politicians because they know that the NBA would block it or Dallas would now join Seattle at the top of the expansion list (would also be a fun alternate reality at this point). This is the 4th biggest sports market in the country, this is not Seattle. Relocating would be bad for everyone involved.
