I can't believe I forgot about that. Yes, that's a big deal.

First I heard of it. That's interesting because a couple episodes ago you mentioned that potential Saudi league. I wonder if this is a response to that.

Some journalist were citing last night Adam Silver and talking about number of teams (16) , considering what to do to with the game length (40 vs 48) and so on. Some of them were even mentioning already some names..

The brief thing I had heard included holding places in the league for some of the more popular existing Euro teams.

What I find exiting is that once this league is established the NBA can have it's version of the Super Bowl, which was original a match between the best teams from two different leagues.

Yes, I would think that most of the teams participating in the Euroleague would join this venture. I am sure that some of the owners( such as Real Madrid, Barça, Olympiakos, Panathinaikos) would join without hesitation...

I'm also reminded that we were going to talk about how to fix tanking. I do know the answer, btw.

It's also an evergreen topic. No need to jam it in.
