Wouldn't that be great if all our players, well not all but the startign 5 and youngsters play for the same team in Europe.
While all other teams are falling apart, our Team would practice and play games togther. We'll have ahuge advantage when NBA starts again.

It has to be a league that allows unlimited foreign players. Unfortunately, good leagues of Europe has limits on that.

There´s no way on earth any European team will sign more than 2 NBA players. Its even more unlikely a team that plays the Euroleague. On top of that, I think European teams are not allowed to have more than 2 american players in their roster.

That was my understanding, but wasn't totally sure.

Even if possible, it wouldn't be that practical the International team, since the NBA players would all leave once the lockout ends.

The players and the development that I'm most concerned about are Aminu & Bledsoe. Blake and EJ are the ones that we definitely don't have to worry about and the rest of the vets are pretty much who they are at this point. DJ is up for a new contract and will be in shape. Hopefully he'll stick to the plan and put in work with Olajuwon and improve his skills. Warren, Thompkins & Leslie could all use time putting in work with their teammates and improving their games, but they're not going to much time next season anyway. It would be great if they could step right in and contribute, but they're 3rd stringers at this point and will have to earn their playing time.

It certainly wont be a euroleague team, it can olny be a team that plays not to regalate to a lower league and would be willing to take the risk. Immidiately that team would be championship contender.
The goal for that team would be get attendance and have a chance to compete.
I didn't make the research to see which leagues that would be possible (because of the limitation on foreign players) but otherwise why not.

I'm not its is likely by any means, just that it would be nice if we could get something like this done.
