Originally posted by Killer Bob View PostYou're forgetting 2 additional 2-way contracts. That's 60 players more. Sure you will get players like Bender back, but no one worth watching. Mirotic is an exception and even he's not exactly someone on whom you build a league.

Originally posted by Killer Bob View PostMy expectations are very low for Europe. You have seen which players Real has bought for next year. Who from them is worth watching? And what about Efes? Micic more or less gone, Larkin will try to go, what kind of team will you have, if both go?

Originally posted by Toruko View PostThe problem of the quality can be solved easily by producing more than the NBA can absorb. Especially we Turks have to polish our guys to reach the EL. The Serbs have a great 03/04 generation, Lithuania more than the last years, Turkey also has a great 02-04 generation. The NBA can only take 30*15 teams and not more. The Greeks with a great bunch of European player are very poor lately with talent. If you consider guys like Tsartsaris, Fotsis or even Kaimakoglou or Perperoglou are luxury ok maybe i exaggerate a bit but yeah Europe was very poor with talent
Originally posted by Killer Bob View PostIf Europeans rather watch games at 2AM than you know something is very wrong. You need different coaches than Obra to coach those superstars, LeBron would have killed him in one week.
Ha yes, Obradovic coaching there would have been an interesting one. Do you think Itoudis could still adapt to the NBA?

Originally posted by Killer Bob View PostAnd I telling you all production is going in Nba and not only that, they go there as teenagers. Maledon, Avdija, Poku, Hayes are not even good enough to have important role in Euroleague and they all went in Nba last year. Before players made a career in Europe in only then they went.

Fans in Europe have been doing that for a long time though, even before there were so many European superstars.

Originally posted by Toruko View PostThere is a big gap between serious NBA player and G-League player. Fits me well, he can stay in Istanbul as much as he likes. I like European Basketball anyway. Europe just shouldnt do the mistake being a bad copy of NBA, more games less intensity. Its ok with a coaches league and team basketball. It just needs a bit more talent with players like Shengelia, Higgins, Delaney, Larkin and Vesely. Thats all.
Btw. players you have named are prime example of mediocrity. Do you remember when we have been watching players like Drazen, Sabonis, Bodiroga, Kukoc, Gallis, Marciulonis...Or some real Nba players like Bob McAdoo.previously known as Beno
