Bob Kravitz of the Indianapolis Star -- who is in China covering Team USA -- makes a pretty good case that there will be an NBA team in Beijing or Shanghai within 10 years.
Kravitz writes: "Sixteen years after Dream Team, we're talking about Americans trying to recapture their lost global basketball status and we're talking about expansion teams in Shanghai. Now that's a revolution."
I agree, but I have a suggestion. Before the NBA adds any teams overseas, it needs to get rid of a few teams on U.S. soil. Memphis and Charlotte, for starters.
