Silver vows NBA tanking solution before draft, seeks Euroleague partnershipNBA commissioner Adam Silver delivers remarks during a press conference prior to the NBA basketball game between the Indiana Pacers and the San Antonio Spurs at the Accor Arena - Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy - in Paris on January 23, 2025. NEW YORK, United States — The NBA will have a solution by June to teams "tanking" to try and obtain a better NBA Draft spot, commissioner Adam Silver vowed on Wednesday (Thursday Manila time). And he made it clear the NBA wants partners on a new European league to include Euroleague, world governing body FIBA and national leagues around the region. Financial dealings with expansion include working with a different group of banks than those looking over European League plans, Silver said. "This may be an unusual year because of the perception of a deep draft," Silver said.
