“Pro basketball isn’t a very good circus.”
I am amazed the NBA has never learned anything about capitalism. One of the biggest mistakes many companies make now that causes them to end up streamlining their business and in many cases lose money is to compete with itself. Most of the time the internet sales are to blame. With a limited amount of TV contracts that could come into play, starting a league in Europe running at the exact time as their senior league in the US is performing is suicide. It’s not adding to profit, it’s deluting the talent and over filling the cup available for solvency. Not real bright.

” it’s deluting the talent “
I seriously doubt this will dilute the talent base. There’s plenty of unintelligent, unemployable, tall guys to fill the bill.
Outside of gambling, and TV money, the NBA wouldn’t exist, and they need a broader base to support the never ending salary demands of their DEI Lamprey, the WNBA.
