In a more recent interview with Vasilakopoulos, he said that in a discussion with a very important person of European basketball (probably Bertomeu, although he did not want to mention any names) Uleb wants to get rid of the Eurocup, because there is no interest, many teams can not cover the expenses and uleb can not make a profit.
The best solution is a few Mediterranean league model competitions where teams in different zones will be selected based on geographic and economic criteria. The best teams of those leagues will play in the Euroleague. There will be no Eurocup and probably no domestic leagues.
In other words, the domestic leagues will become international zones and the Euroleague will be the only continental league.

He said that ULEB wants to achieve this within the next five years.
Great idea if you ask me.
What do you think?
