Europe project again, confirming that the new competition will move forward even without an agreement with EuroLeague. The NBA commissioner remains confident, however: \u201cWe\u2019re hoping we\u2019ll work something out with EuroLeague. I think we will.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s hard to believe there are 1,200 professional clubs in Europe. EuroLeague is the top-tier competition right now. We\u2019re going forward with what we\u2019re calling NBA Europe, and we\u2019re hoping we\u2019ll work something out with EuroLeague. I think we will,\u201d Silver said. Asked whether the NBA would proceed without EuroLeague, he replied: \u201cYes, but we\u2019re going to get something worked out with them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silver also confirmed strong interest in the planned 12 franchise teams, with bids coming from existing basketball clubs, major European soccer brands and investors looking to create clubs from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On valuations, Silver said franchises are attracting bids worth <strong>\u201cmany hundreds of millions of dollars.\u201d<\/strong> He described it as a \u201conce and forever opportunity\u201d to become the NBA team in markets such as London, Paris, Madrid and Munich.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adam Silver says NBA
