There's been a lot of talk about the NBA expanding to Europe... Do you think the NBA will give up home games in order to reach out to a larger base? How do you think this will impact the NBA?

God I hope it doesn't expand to Europe...

I think it would be kind of cool but they'd have to cut down the number of games in the regular season to allow more time for travel.

Fold some of teams here that nobody wants such as Kings, Hornets, Grizzlies, Wolves and start up a 5 team Europe division.

Man, the logistics would be ridiculous though! So teams have to travel overseas to play them, and vice-versa???

However, I'm definitely all in favor of anything that reduces the games in the regular season. Teams should play the other teams in their division 4 times, and all the rest of the teams in the entire league just twice.

So with 30 teams still, that would be a regular season of 66 games. That would be so much better than the 82 they have now, with all the back-to-backs and the traveling.

Good point! I'm split on the idea...

Travel would be awful but expanding the NBA into Europe makes sense considering the amount of talent that is continually being produced. Names like Dirk Nowitzki, Pau Gasol and Tony Parker, all of whom are from Europe, are now NBA superstars.
