NBA Sends Euroleague Proposal on Cooperation
The NBA has proposed possible cooperation with the Euroleague, with clubs expected to discuss it before the owners' meeting in Italy on October 5.
The NBA has sent the Euroleague a proposal for possible cooperation between the two organisations, with several sources confirming the move to Eurohoops.
Details of the proposal remain undisclosed. The Euroleague's leadership and its shareholder clubs are expected to discuss it before the owners' meeting scheduled for 5 October in Italy.
Euroleague CEO Jordi Bertomeu's successor, Chus Bueno, and NBA commissioner Adam Silver have repeatedly raised the idea of a joint league in the past. Whether such a format forms part of this latest proposal is not yet known.
A joint venture between the two competitions has been discussed for years without a concrete plan emerging. This proposal, coming ahead of a fixed date on the Euroleague calendar, may put the question in front of club owners in a more formal way than before.
