Commissioner’s Cup Concept: NBA x EuroLeague
Was randomly in a rabbit hole looking through some Euroleague rosters, realizing how many talented former NBA players are now overseas. (For example: FC Barcelona who is in 2nd in EuroLeague has a roster consisting of 5 former NBA players Ricky Rubio, Jabari Parker, Abrines, Satoransky, Hernangomez, among many other talented overseas pros and prospects)
This sparked the idea of a commissioner’s cup.
Here’s the hypothetical format:
After the NBA regular season ends, we give the playoff contending teams a week off. During this period, we take the 5 teams from each conference who didn’t make the play-in or playoffs and invite the top 6 european teams for a 16-team single elimination tournament. Similar to how the NIT provides an outlet for teams who don’t make the big dance. (perhaps play it in Las Vegas)
This would make for some super fun matchups, a chance to see young NBA players play in meaningful games and a chance for Euroleague teams to challenge the NBA’s honor as the best league in the world. While also being a great showcase for the EuroLeague top players to play on a big stage in the USA and NBA scouts to watch them.
Thoughts? Is this a terrible idea? Would you watch a potential matchup of AS Monaco vs. Washington Wizards? or Real Madrid vs. Houston Rockets?

Trouble purchasing tickets for Olimpia Milano v. KK Partizan on March 8th!
Hi, I am visiting Milano (mostly to see this game) and I am unable to purchase tickets without a “promo code”. The ticket office won’t answer my calls from Poland and it looks like tickets are selling out fast :(
Does anyone have advice on how I can purchase a ticket through the Olimpia Milano website without a promotional code OR know of another way to get tickets for the game. Thank you!

Stark Arena sectors
hey,
I'm going to Partizan vs Anadolu game, and I was wondering which sector would be the best for me. I would like to be as close to ultras section as possible (i dont care about being very close to court). Will NIVO 400 CENTAR JUG a good pick? Are ultras located in the WEST stand?
Thank you in advance!

[Marca] Hezonja has already rejected two offers to renew his contract with Real Madrid.
The forward considers the Madrid proposals insufficient and his role in the Copa del Rey does not invite to think about his continuity either.

Partizan's and Zvezda's budgets
Both clubs recently came out with their financial reports, I can post sources if you guys want, but they're in Serbian so idk if they'd be of value. Anyways, Partizan's budget is 20 milion and 14 milion is self made from tickets, sponsors etc. while 6 milion was given to them by the country. Solid stuff imo and a sign that the club can be financially stable.
The interesting part to me was Zvezda's report where they claim that their budget is 8 milion for this season, with only 3 milion coming from the country. This sounds sketchy to me especially after last season where their budget was around 16 milion with roughly 11 milion coming from the country. Additionally, before the season started Zvezda's president was claiming their goal this season is a F4 appearance. While this man is in my eyes 100% delusional, it's bold even for him to claim that they're attacking F4 after allegedly cutting their budget in half and coming in 10th last year.
To add onto this, Zvezda's report came after Vučić, Serbia's glorious president, criticised both clubs by saying that they would both be nothing without governments help and that any talk about preferential treatment from the government is asinine. While he tried to play it off as criticism aimed at both clubs, it was clearly much more of an attack at Partizan and even Obradovic. Basically I wouldn't be surprised if Zvezda was ordered to downplay their numbers a bit as to make Vučić's claims true considering in the 6 seasons prior to this one, they' ve given Zvezda 10 more mil.
To me the only argument against the clubs being permanent Euroleague members lays in the fact that they play in a disfunctional country with a government that could sabotage the clubs at any point, and I wouldn't be surprised if it happens to Partizan, the much less obedient one.
Am I a delusional Partizan fan or you think there's some truth to this?
