Silver: NBA's European league talks continuing
OKLAHOMA CITY -- The NBA's talks with FIBA and other entities about the process of adding a new league in Europe are continuing, commissioner Adam Silver said, though he noted that it might take at least a couple more years to turn the ideas into reality.
Silver spoke at a league event to unveil a refurbished Boys & Girls Club in Oklahoma City on Friday -- an off day for the NBA Finals -- and said it's difficult to put a specific timeline on the Europe plans.
"I will say it's measured in years, not months," Silver said. "So, we're at least a couple years away from launching. It would be an enormous undertaking. And while we want to move forward at a deliberate pace, we also want to make sure that we're consulting with all the appropriate stakeholders, meaning the existing league, its teams, European players, media companies, marketing partners. There's a lot of work to be done."
NBA 想整合歐洲的籃球聯賽，提出的構想遠大，不太可能一下子就成功。

Adam Silver says NBA Europe league could begin play in 2027 or 2028
似乎有進展。
A new basketball league based in Europe that the NBA and FIBA are working together to launch could begin play in 2027 or ’28, though no timeline has been finalized, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Tuesday. Speaking at a conference hosted by Front Office Sports, Silver called a 2027 start “ambitious, no doubt about it” given the issues that still need to be addressed but did not rule out that possibility.

Silver said he and Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum had positive meetings with political leaders, teams, media companies, possible investors and other stakeholders across Europe, while work continues in the league office to make the project happen. “I would say I’m enthusiastic about it,” Silver said. Early plans call for the new league to have 16 teams, though that number could change.

16 teams ? 基本上，這個新的歐洲聯盟的訊息量太少了，到底是要怎麼組，找誰組，都還言之過早。原本的歐洲職業聯賽已經行之有年，不可能說完全的取代。比較知名的有，以下
西班牙籃球甲級聯賽（Liga ACB）：西班牙頂級職業籃球聯賽，以其高水平和眾多知名球隊而聞名。
土耳其籃球超級聯賽（BSL）：土耳其籃球最高級別聯賽，擁有競爭激烈的聯賽氛圍。
法國籃球聯賽（LNB Pro A）：法國的男子職業籃球聯賽，也是歐洲重要的籃球聯賽之一。
其他像是德國、立陶宛、義大利等國，也有自己的職業聯賽。
要我來猜，比較有可能的是各國找幾隊，東拼西湊，辦一個短期的例行賽，有點像東超的性質的賽事。但如果是由美國 NBA 官方強力主導所成立的新 16 支球隊，那恐怕會造成歐洲各國職業聯盟的抵制或反抗，畢竟有錢的是老大，把這個 New Europe basketball league 弄成 NBA 的次級聯盟的話，有可能造成各國的好手出走。

NBA Europe targets 2027 launch: 16 teams, semi-open format
The NBA’s general manager for Europe and the Middle East, George Aivazoglou, shared details about the upcoming NBA Europe, expected to launch in 2027. Aivazoglou explained the planned structure and vision for NBA Europe, outlining how the league would operate and what makes it unique. “The earliest start would be October 2027. Our vision is a semi-open competition with 16 teams — 12 permanent franchises and 4 qualifying from other competitions, with the Basketball Champions League (organized by FIBA) as a central pathway,” he said per L'Equipe's Yan Ohnona

Hapoel Tel Aviv president: 'There’s a good chance this is the last Euroleague year'
Euroleague 最後的一年？
Ofer Yannay: As for the next three years, the big question is: what’s going to happen to European basketball next summer? I believe NBA Europe is coming, and I believe the EuroLeague will not be able to move fast enough to make the changes it needs—whether to block NBA Europe or to cooperate with it. So there’s a good chance this is the last EuroLeague year. I think the cards are going to get shuffled and redistributed again next summer. This is a once-in-a-generation change. The last time this happened was in the year 2000—exactly 25 years ago. So it’s very hard to predict what will happen. But my job—my responsibility—is to make sure that whatever happens in European basketball, Hapoel is in a good position.”
很難想像會成功的整合。
You’re talking about how NBA Europe will explode team valuations—which means more ability to sign bigger players. DPG said his dream player is obviously Jokić. So what about you—if you had a dream player you could sign, who would it be?” Ofer Yannay (Hapoel Tel Aviv president): “They asked me this a few months ago, and I said: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. But let’s be realistic. We can’t bring in those max-contract guys still in their prime. So what’s the strategy? I think it would be amazing to bring in the superstars whose careers are just starting to decline—but they’re still superstars. Guys like Kevin Durant, LeBron, Steph Curry. They could really enjoy one more year in Europe. They’d get to experience something fresh—and also elevate the project. And by the way, the NBA should make them partners in this new league.
讓三老打一年的 new league ？ 哇！退休巡演。

NBA Europe：第 2 支球隊是英國的曼聯 ？
The NBA Europe project continues to take shape, and one of its first confirmed teams will be based in Manchester（曼徹斯特）.
Gianni Petrucci, president of the Italian Basketball Federation, highlighted the commercial potential of the league and hinted at Manchester United reportedly already agreeing on playing in NBA Europe.
"If Manchester United, the team that has the most supporters in the world, has already said yes to this project, there must be a reason, right?" He said per Il Corriere dello Sport.

The NBA Europe plan also includes other teams in major European cities, and Rome is reportedly a potential location thanks to the backing of a wealthy entrepreneur. "A team in Rome? Yes, Rome will be there. There’s an option on the table linked to a very wealthy entrepreneur," he confirmed.

Tatum also laid out countries that will likely host the 10-to-12 permanent NBA Europe franchises, identifying（1） France, （2）Germany, （3）Italy, （4）Spain, （5）Turkey and （6）Greece.
He also specifically singled out potential Euroleague clubs such as （1）Real Madrid, （2）Barcelona, （3）Bayern Munich and （4）LDLC ASVEL (owned by former NBAer Tony Parker).
“Almost like the Champions League of basketball in Europe,” Tatum said. “So brands like （1）Real Madrid and （2）Barca and （3）Man City and （4）PSG and （5）AC Milan playing basketball.
That’s pretty compelling. Not only premium live sports content that’s relevant in Europe, but it’s relevant globally. It’s relevant in Asia, it’s relevant in the United States and North America because some of the brands that we’re talking to have tremendous global followings.” He also mentioned there would likely be a bridge year before four other teams qualify for the league in Year 2, saying, “If you’re in （7）Lithuania, if you’re in （8）Serbia, if you’re in （9）Croatia, other clubs in those markets, we want every team to have an opportunity to play into that top tier league.”

It is 99% certain that the club will be one of the 12 founding members of the new competition starting in the 2027-2028 season, thus bypassing the EuroLeague, with which FC Barcelona has extended its license for the next 10 seasons .

根據報導，Real Madrid 會跟 NBA Europe 簽約，但尚未正式簽定。
Talks between Real Madrid and the NBA have been ongoing for some time , and this interest is now gaining momentum. This new European competition project would be led by FIBA ??and the NBA , although, according to Pilar Casado, many details still need to be finalized despite more progress than has been officially announced.
皇馬與 NBA 還在談細節
The future of Real Madrid basketball is at a crucial juncture. As revealed by Pilar Casado on Deportes COPE , the club has yet to sign the renewal of its EuroLeague license , which expires on June 30th and could be extended at any time. Barcelona, ??however, has already signed a license renewal to remain part of the EuroLeague until 2036, provided that "a series of essential requirements are met ," according to EFE.

Barcelona 已與 EuroLeague 續約，應該是確定了無緣 NBA Europe。
