Good luck with that. Europeans usually don’t like ”plastic teams” made out of nothing. They want traditions.
It would be really cool if there were another 15 teams in Europe, with NBA rules.
And each team would have a rival in the Western and Eastern conference that they played home and home with.
And then the Euro champion would do a Christmas matchup with the NBA champion.
so not really "expansion" in the usual sense, but a separate league or isolated tournament with North American teams.
Yeah I don’t really think there’s a way to have a team for the regular league overseas given the travel that would require.
Sounds like they’d try to start their own league as a competitor to the euro league but it’s super early stages of planning.
I wonder if the first step is to have the NBA Cup final four there. Maybe after Las Vegas has a team, could do a different euro city every year.
