That was my thought too. NBA teams have their own G league teams and the next step is to push MLSE to make and investment and buy or invest in an NBA Africa team.

Masai did a similar thing when the Nuggets hired him as GM. He asked them to contribute a significant amount ($1M??) to his African initiatives. He was willing to walk away if they didn’t do it. If this is the ask and MLSE balks... Masai walks?

Why should the NBA owners get all the glory?

Great idea. But I wonder if that contravenes the agreement the owners sign when they get into the NBA? Something about having too much influence on young players. But it does work with G League. Allowing involvement would really help get the league off to a quick start. And might attract a ton of additional African fans to the affiliated NBA team.

It would be interesting if MLSE bought the team in Masai's name. As part of the new deal, so that no money comes out of his pocket. If lebron can own multiple sports teams (albeit not basketball), I don't see why Masai can't own a African basketball team. I don't know if thats kosher, but it would be cool if that's the cherry that gets him to resign.
Having said all that I have no idea of the number of Africans trained and experienced in the different aspects of running a sports franchise. Certainly there is experience with regards to soccer. Tasks would be roughly similar.
