SI.com's Ian Thomsen reports today that the NBA is considering new plans to create five full-fledged NBA franchises in Europe over the next decade. Thomsen, citing a league source, writes that the current idea would be to create five new teams in major markets to form a "European'' division within the NBA. The teams would play the full 82-game schedule and compete for the NBA championship. The proposal is new and many factors will influence the eventual outcome, including the continued development of NBA-styled arenas in Western Europe.
What are your thoughts about the possibility of European expansion? Are you in favor of the idea? What would the NBA product look like with five additional teams? Weigh in with your thoughts below.
