I'd rather see a team in Hawaii before I see a team in friggin Europe. NBA wants to do it so they can cash in on those flopping fines.

Doesn't anyone this forum have any imagination?
Come on guys! The schedule would be a dream for the players. 2 week trip in Europe? 3 days off before the flight, 3 days off after returning, and 7 game road trip? It's stupid to think that can't be scheduled. Easily.
While 4 American teams are touring Europe, 4 teams from Europe are in America.
There's what? 17 two-week tours in a season October to May which means either a team or two has 2 road trips, or there's some bye weeks. Hello?
TV? Nobody ever heard of tape delay television?
Imagination!! Use a little vision here........ the World Finals are held each year on the flight deck of the U.S.S. Enterprise, in the center of the Atlantic, with a full Honor Guard lined on each side of the deck and F-22s flying overhead, Soviet missile subs on each side with flag salutes labeled AK47 and British, French, Italian destroyers sailing around, banners flying!!
Those little robot heli-cameras showing the court from every angle, and imagine the income from tickets on that bad boy cruise!
come on now! We can't have all that 'can't be done' crap of this thread.... that's downright un-American!
F[COLOR="Black"]u[/COLOR]ck David Stern...and the horse he rode in on.

Quit dragging it down then mate.
NBA fans to David Stern "Just die already"
[QUOTE=InspiredLebowski]You'd need an entire European division.[/QUOTE]
That's the only way this plan would have a chance of working. There would be a North American division and a European division.
The teams in the two divisions would never play each other during the season, but the champions from both would play in one location for the World Championship.
