Trading from NBA to Euroleague

[ChumpDumper]

I can't. Every team is controlled by FIBA.

Obviously not every team is since I gave an example, but I can't think of one from the leagues the NBA is now competing with for some players since they are all members of their national basketball federations which in turn are part of FIBA.

So, why wouldn't an ABA team not be under FIBA control?

Because the ABA never applied for membership in USA Basketball.

And what about CBA?

And what about CBA?

The Continental Basketball Association is a member.

Ship Bonner and Oberto to Tau for Splitter...

are you related to Ducks?

[oligarchy]

The Continental Basketball Association is a member.

And you're saying that each EL team is a member?

Why are you not in the other thread?

I can't think of one that isn't by some extension a member of its own country's national basketball federation.

I said what I needed to say, so now I am surfing, plus Buddy Holly is stalking me again trying to get a rise out of me. Ain't going to happen.

So, how wouldn't the same apply to ABA or IBA, if by extension its own country is a national basketball federation? or could it be that one or more of the EL teams don't fall under the same regulations?

The USA is not a basketball federation.

USA Basketball is.

USA Basketball is.

Thanks.

[Slo spurs fan]

Chump is right here.

A violent molestation has taken place in this thread...it's pretty obvious chump is right, not sure what the argument is.

One of the most significant diference between FIBA and the NBA is the Anti Drug Policy

The FIBA is under the COI Reglament, and the NBA is under is own

The NBA only joining the FIBA´s tournament when the COI accept that the NBA players don´t have antidoping controls

Further follow up from truehoop, a bit more detail about what actually happened.

What is surprising is how well this actually fits with my Bonner for Javotkas scenario. We hold Jav's rights, just like the Jazz did for Jose Ortiz. We could release Bonner on the understanding he was going to sign with CKSA. IIRC, Javtokas has an NBA buy out this summer, because they won the Euroleague. CKSA could waive Jav's buy out on the understanding Bonner was going to sign with CKSA...

This might work nicely for all parties. Bonner could get off the bench for CKSA. Javtokas's physical talent (as opposed to basketball skills) might fit better in the NBA than Euroleague. CKSA gets a player who better fits the Euroleague style (Bonner's shooting >>>> Javtokas's shooting), an SAS gets an athletic big with professional (ie big league, not D-League/French league) experience.

It has been stated that Javtokas's current salary is roughly 1M Euros (post Tax) (again, IIRC from Spurstalk). Assuming a 42% tax for income in Texas, Bonner's 2,983,500 US$ becomes 1,730,430 US$. Assuming 1.6 Eur/US$, that's about even...

Heh, someone get RC on the line, this might actually work...

This is crazy, I wonder what exactly is possible.

[Bruno]

It's impossible.
