This is at least plausible thinking (imagining they WANT to move the team to Vegas is not), because they obviously want legalized gambling in Texas, and I'm sure they're behind that whole "vote yes for destination resorts" add campaign we're all sick of, but...
The league would have to approve, and they wouldn't.
And, I read somewhere that the Mavs have a 7-year lease with the AAC. I'm sure there are kill clauses, but I bet it's harder to trigger something like that than we realize. Much more difficult than the movie "Major League" would have us believe.
I don't see this as an issue.
