Rumors of creating the Nba Europe gain more and more solid base, with the well -known analyst Bill Simmons To reveal details of the form of the project, following the tour of the US League Commissioner in Europe, Adam Silver.
Indeed, as Simmons pointed out, among the teams on the NBA radar to staff the new event, both Greek “eternal” forces are playing: Olympiacos and Panathinaikos.
In detail what he said in podcast o Bill Simmons:
“The project is expected to have fewer groups than those originally calculated. What does NBA offer? From what I have heard, it will probably make a league of 10 teams, it may be eight, it may be 12. It will give guaranteed positions, better television rights management and better sponsorships.
The NBA is trying to lock in Real and Barcelona, and both will be able to get out of Euroleague next year. They also have Milan with them, who does not currently have a basketball team. But calculate them. Beyond that, possible targets are Paris Saint -Germain, a London team that will be associated with the football sections of Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal, Manchester City, the two Greek teams, probably Olympiacos and Panathinaikos.
The league will go to London, Madrid, Barcelona, Milan, Paris, Berlin and Athens. I think Adam Silver has these seven cities in his pocket and may not yet know what the team from Greece will be. Perhaps he also puts Tony Parker’s team, Villerban. Maybe a team from Israel, maybe a third Spanish. “
