Never gonna happen. Nobody wants to play for a team in fcking Europe.
Re: Adam Silver Says NBA Is Considering European Expansion
There is literally 0 chance this happens anytime soon.

NoLinksYo used a source? :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:
Re: Adam Silver Says NBA Is Considering European Expansion
I just cant see it happening. Players won't be able to handle the back and forth travelling, especially if they're longer flights. In the future, most likely.

Re: Adam Silver Says NBA Is Considering European Expansion
Holy Shit, there's a real source.
Re: Adam Silver Says NBA Is Considering European Expansion
This would such a stupid idea. With the 82 game season I'm sure any players wouldn't want the air travel.
