His thoughts to “get it out” NBA and outside the American continent revealed in a press conference given in the context of the All Star Game o Adam Silver. The NBA commissioner said that the possibility of matches in the preseason of the new league with teams from other continents is already being considered.
“I do not think we will see regular season games in the 2022/23 season, to be precise, we certainly will not see. There is a possibility that we will consider preparation matches in Europe “Silver added.
Here are the most important things Silver said in his press conference:
For the possibility of matches with teams outside America:
“We look forward to returning to international travel. We know we have a World League and the opportunity to send teams to other continents, to new parts of the world, is an opportunity that we believe will help us grow the sport. We are currently considering the possibility of preseason matches next season. I do not think we will see regular season games in 2022/23, to be exact, we certainly will not see. There is a possibility that we will consider preparation matches in Europe. They just have to get organized early enough. “It may be difficult, but Europe is such an important market for us and of course we love the opportunity to be there for preseason games.”
For NBA exchanges:
“These are young people who are under a lot of pressure and besides, they are the best in the world in what they do. We saw in the Sixers-Nets exchange, everyone was satisfied “.
For play in:
“Last year, two weeks before the end of the regular season, 24 teams were on a play off track. “We have plans for the future, with a tournament maybe in the season.”
In general for the championship and its teams:
“In the last 11 years, eight teams have won the championship, while in the first 60 years, three teams have won 65% of the titles. The Bucks, Milwaukee, were the last to do so. We are more global, more digital, so the size of the city and the market does not matter. “Look at what they are building here in Cleveland, look at what Antetokunbo did that is the perfect example.”
Finally, he spoke about the decision of some teams to pay players not to play:
“It is a problem when players are paid not to play. In some cases it is a mutual agreement. “There is a view that a veteran does not fit into a team that makes an effort to build something for the future.”
