NBA Pre-season Game in Australia?

Anyone think there's a chance of this happening in the future? Stern seems really interested in playing NBA game all over the globe and promoting the game in Europe and China. Why not promote basketball in Australia and play some NBA games here? Andrew Bogut said he wanted to bring the Bucks to Australia to play some games a while ago, I don't know what's happening with that. People would flock to see NBA stars playing in real life and we'd probably get 15,000 to games. Even if there are no games in Adelaide (which there probably wouldn't be) it would do wonders for the game in this country and get Australians back into basketball.

Stern is seems really interested in playing games all over China and Europe because it is a money maker. I think ESPN said china has more basketball players then the whole population of the US and is the second most popular sport aside from soccer. Playing a pre season game may be a good idea for Australia, put in the long run for the NBA it won't ever do as much for the game as it is doing in Europe and China. People care over there.
