Possible NBA and EuroLeague Agreement For NBA Europe League (NBA EuroLeague)

[SNPA]

Silver will literally do anything but put a team back in Seattle

Silver doesn’t get to vote. The other owners don’t care about anything but money. There’s no nostalgia, that’s only for fans.

I'd rather see the NBA transform into a global basketball league with three divisions:

North America - NBA
Europa - EBL
Asia - Pacific - APBL

In each division you would have promotion and relegation with a second division with the second division in Europe and APAC being the current national leagues.

NBA 24 first division teams, 16 2nd division
EBL - 16 first
APBL - 16 first

during the regular season teams would only play on within their own leagues. EBL winner plays APBL winner in one semifinal with the winner going on the the Global championship.

To add some spice you could have an in-season tournament with the top 8 in the standings from the NBA and 4 best from the other two meeting in a Christmas week tournament varying with every other year in North America and every fourth year on one of the other continents.

Just have the nba cup include euro league entrants. I don't get why these games "have to count."

Have a tournament and include euro league teams. Make it is the stars don't have to play if they don't want to.

European sports media has already reported that part of the NBA Europe League deal could be that something like the top 2 or top 4 teams in the Europe division, which if there is a deal with the EuroLeague, that would mean the top 2 or top 4 teams in the EuroLeague standings, might play in the NBA Cup tournament.

Either by taking the top 2 or top 4 teams from the previous season, so that would mean the previous season's EuroLeague Final Four teams, like a European SuperCup model, or taking the top 2 or top 4 teams in the EuroLeague regular season standings, at the midpoint of the season, like a European League Cup model.

Exactly. Love it.

I don't know what the NBA would get out of having a minor league in Europe. Nobody's going to wake up at 6am in January to watch the Madrid Bullfighters take on the Berlin Sauerkraut.

lol. Not a minor league. A Europe NBA branded league for people from Europe.

A Europe National Basketball Association? You know Europe is like 30+ nations right?

Well technically, the NBA is an international league, not a domestic one. It's USA / Canada, not just the USA.

The NBA name was already irrelevant and incorrect as soon as there were teams in Canada.

Where the Seattle and Vegas guaranteed people at? Ya’ll think the NBA is going to do both?

Doesn't one lead to the other? If you want to expand the teams, you need to expand the player base.
