just have another division over there ... France, England, Germany, Spain.

Crappy Idea. Franchises over here (supposedly) are losing millions. Owners want to roll back players salaries 38%. Not a time to expand.

If the NBA goes International, they would have a separate league in Europe and possibly, have the Champion in Europe play the Champion in the United States for the World Champion. But that is as far as it would probably go.

That's a good idea!

No they wouldn't. Maybe in some Euros wet dream, but not in reality.

Very lame and impractical idea.

Easy there Mr. McDuff no need to get so vehement there. I also don't think the NBA is going to expand anytime soon for the reasons you stated above.

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.

don't make the teams fly to Europe.

The term world champions would be more significant if they went internationally.
