Rather than this in season tournament trash it would be great to have an in season game between the Euroleague champions and the NBA champions. NBA used to do this back in the day when the Bulls would go play excellent Euro teams before NBA games started. That’s what I like to see. I agree with you that it is hard to keep homegrown talent home in the Balkans. Australia has a similar problem but most of their guys end up going to St Mary’s and then coming back to play in their domestic league if they don’t make it to the NBA.The Balkans have the most talent but they can’t retain their talent.
So the players end up going to the big European Giants RM, Barça, etc.
But every once in a while you’ll see a Balkan team that is real good go deep in the Euro League - before they poached, of course.
