Time out means more commercials and $$$.
I’m surprised teams don’t get 20 time outs per half.

The amount of TO's would probably not change too much, just when you can call them?
Means no more timeouts to try and save loose balls. Can't call a timeout to stop team going on a run unless you give a foul. I don't hate the concept.

TV tine outs also!!!
Factor all this and they play 8 min less.
Factor also substitution patterns and perhaps why Euro PG's stats are difficult for fans to equate. There is a philosophical difference of how to use your bench given the above factors.
The games do flow faster.
If the euro game wants more revenue, they might want to consider making changes. Longer games? more breaks? More commercials/sponser exposure.
NBA expansion I believe would be some euro teams able to merge in some fashion. Easier said then done. A lot of things have to happen for that to ever work.
