OKLAHOMA CITY -- The NBA's talks with FIBA and other entities about the process of adding a new league in Europe are continuing, Commissioner Adam Silver said, though he noted that it may take at least a couple more years to turn the ideas into reality.

Silver spoke at a league event to unveil a refurbished Boys & Girls Club in Oklahoma City on Friday - an off day for the NBA Finals - and said it's difficult to put a specific timeline on the Europe plans.

"I will say it's measured in years, not months," Silver said. "So, we're at least a couple years away from launching. It would be an enormous undertaking. And while we want to move forward at a deliberate pace, we also want to make sure that we're consulting with all the appropriate stakeholders, meaning the existing league, its teams, European players, media companies, marketing partners. There's a lot of work to be done."
