A former NBA employee, Chus Bueno, is continuing the talks with the NBA about their European project, which may or may not include the EuroLeague. And the EuroLeague, on its side, may work or may not work with the NBA. “We had breakfast yesterday with George Aivazoglou”, said Bueno, and
admitted that everything is on the table: “We are open to exploring, but this doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. There’s no time pressure for us or the NBA, but there’s a matter of momentum. Adam Silver said it, Mark Tatum said it, fragmentation is losing value. It would be better to maximise the opportunity together with the NBA”. So the issue here is to have the proper understanding and a model that would work, as Bueno explained: “You can get a good deal in life, but it’s another thing to do a good project. It’s part of the process to understand each other. Everything is on the table; it’s too soon”.
