NBA Exploring Starting New Tournament Or League In Europe

[Miggs]

If its not gonna be the best players its pointless...

I think the NBA and Euroleague doing business is great for basketball as a whole.

I actually watch more Euro ball than NBA at times.....

The NBA is more interested in European expansion than domestic expansion. The Sonics and Vegas expansion clubs have quite an uphill climb to come to fruition. I'll never say never, but that light is dim.

Are they gonna dead the G League and tell everybody get a passport?

More likely they start poaching from overseas teams, especially the smaller ones

I think the NBA will eventually either create some type of partnership with the Euroleague or there will be a full on merger.

Us American brehs gotta realize that our sport is global and the fastest growing sport in the world.

If someone thinks with all the talent and fans and MONEY worldwide that the NBA isn't gonna try to become an INTERNATIONAL conglomerate then they don't understand business.


The world is getting smaller by the decade

Even the NFL is trying to expand into Europe and Latin America

I think that will eventually happen as well

But I agree that Silver is more hype about European expansion

A champions league style tournament with less regular season games would-be nice

Only if NBA Europe is good

Euroleague teams

a) shuttle in and out

and

b) are teams that belong to other domestic leagues. I don't know how the NBA plans on taking over every domestic league to make this possible.

I hear you


But I just know that the NBA is the biggest basketball organization in the world and they want Europe.

logistics problems be damned.

Silver is over there right now talking money with politicians

they will eventually find a way IMO

it is sounding like NBA rather do a euro league than expansion, I wonder how Europeans clubs will respond with NBA trying to WWE them

LINK: EuroLeague CEO on collaboration with NBA, expansion to 20 teams and NCAA

Quotes from Euroleague CEO : "What we heard is the same as what is publicly known, that they’re in the exploration mode, and they’re trying to see how and what. We said to them, like we said publicly, we don’t believe that the new league is something that would help the market,"


"Because I repeat it and I said it before: we don’t need a new league. We are doing really good. The league is growing. We’re happy to go and do it together with NBA and continuously use their power to grow the basketball in Europe. So we’re open to that


Seems like they want a partnership but are afraid the NBA is trying to take over.
