NBA Going international?

Question

Well Ive been hearing news that NBA Teams might get some international teams to join the league, not counting USA and Canada.

I was also reading this thing on the Beijing Olympics website about how the dome where the Basketball Olympics are held have signed a contract with the NBA to a future team.

But is it likely to work out? I mean what are the chances that a Chinese team will join the NBA?

The flight for like Boston Celtics to Beijing would be crazy to go there and back....

Answer 1

i heard childress talking about that on espn he said something like " i feel in the future they will be no NBA ..it will be a world wide sport" something like that.. i would hate that if i was and NBA player tho. imagine how annoying the finals would be

Answer 2

If that happens the players would protest a lot. When the Raptors became a team, a lot the players protested a team being in Canada. Imagine what they would do for one in China. I think that would be a very bad idea.
