Euroleague 2012/13 teams

[pohani komarac]

Could it be, Unicaja will play EL even if they finish 9th? Jordi says they must finish in first half of ACB, wich is 9th...lol

Valencia or Bilbao defenetley deserved to replace them

[Basketball fan]

Partizan should get Unicajas A licence .

[Billy Bounce]

Last year Barca clearly tanked its last game before playoffs to get Malaga into Top8 .

This year Unicaja looks even worse then last year, but hell ... they've got 11k arena

[madmax]

I'm fairly sure it should be obvious by now that sport results matter really little to Mr Bertomeu...if that would be the case, we wouldn't see teams like Lottomatica or Prokom with A licenses.

Actually, very bad example. Lottomatica has already lost their licence, and Prokom will lose one this year.

Are you sure ?

Roma ticket was cancelled because they dropped out of top8 in national league. On the other hand Prokom is expected to be a champ, unless aliens will invade or something .

Maybe their arena is small for A-license, but they have an option to relocate into 11k Hala Gdansk-Sopot.

Has nothing to do with the arena. They are the last of the 13 teams with licence, and they will lose it.

When was the last time EL didn't come with a new set of rules at the start of a new season :/

Even if the last year "rules" stay, there are a lot of other options:

1) Unicaja won't make it top8 ACB, currently they are 11th : Unicaja loses A license

2) Jordi says the ranking is based on attendance, TV ratings in addition to results criteria : go figure who survives

3) Siena/CSKA refuses to move from its arena to meet EL 10k A-license criteria : Siena/CSKA loses A license

4) ...

Galatasaray mp 25 millions fans+abdi ipekçi hall 12.500+very good tv rating and advertising+gala-fener big derby+turkish basketball league regular seasons leaders.

do you think galatasaray a license?=

[pohani komarac]

First A licsense is disgrace of basketball

2nd Galatasary don't deserve it. Only thing is should matter is result, and 1 decent year is not something should matter. Rest is capitalistic bullshit

[Gonzaka]

If Unicaja doesn't win tomorrow at Bilbao, bye bye Euroleague for them.

If Bertomeu doesn't avoid that...

Which are the achievments of Galatasaray in Europe to have an A license?

gs eurocup 2006 final four 2011 league finalist and 2012 regular season league leaders
spanish league 4 a license if turkish league 3 a license why not...?

[Gonzaka]

spanish league 4 a license if turkish league 3 a license why not...?

It's not about how many per country (imo Unicaja doesn't deserve it, e.g.). What I'm saying is today is not logic to bring a license to a team who played only ONE SEASON in Euroleague. Maybe several years later, GS deserve it but today no.
