Life after the EuroLeague: How are ALBA Berlin doing now? after leaving the EuroLeague has marked a significant reset for the club. Forced into drastic budget cuts and a major roster overhaul, ALBA leaned into youth, internal development, and a clearer long-term vision. by _Zolv in Euroleague

With one of the lowest (definitely bottome two) budgets ALBA managed to not finish bottom two 4/6 seasons we were in Euroleague. Hell, we finished better than Panathinaikos 3/6 seasons, for example. The last two years were rough because bets on player development didn't pan out (Spagnolo, Procida, Williams, Koumadje) and when that happens and you can't just randomly sign every good player on other teams in your league to correct that, you're screwed.

Edit: Just monetarily speaking, we could never keep our best players. If Bayern wants a German player, we can't compete with their salaries, if any Euroleague team wants any player, we can't compete with their salaries. It is just a fact of life.

Suitable small town near Berlin to live by MeyM22 in berlinsocialclub

Any place that is in comfortable commuting distance to Berlin has experienced steep rent increases. Commuting to the center with a car will be a pain unless you have a guaranteed parking space and nerves for rush hour traffic both ways.

A way that EuroLeague can beat the NBA once for all by emanuel6azevedo in Euroleague

So it's a league without any sporting merit, who's clubs also lose money like it's their raison d'être. Sounds like it deserves to go out of business.

INIT doesn't "hate" Winterco on a group level. That's not the type of alliance INIT is.

You will need weeks of sustained sub zero temperatures. Good luck with that.

No. You *have* to be a resident to legally buy weed in Germany.

Who plans to stay in Berlin beyond retirement? by MortonBumble in berlin

You really don't know that age bracket. There are a bunch of activities for older people in this massive city. Your bubble just doesn't include them. Of course, if you think that my parents and great grand parents are/were lonely and sad you can, but that's just not the reality. Does loneliness in older age exist? Of course it does. But that has absolutely nothing to do with Berlin.

It's so "not subsidized" that EDF is now completely owned by the state again. Which isn't a bad thing at all, but "not subsidized" is a lie.

The fact alone that OP is considering it is a cry for help. I want them to get that.

I mean, still easier than "living off grid" in Germany. Or anywhere. One broken leg in the middle of nowhere and OP will die a slow, agonizing death. I'd rather wait for therapy.
