Buying a title - anyone bothered?

One thing that is certain to the NBL is each player's point value. Perhaps the salary cap should be abolished all together but keep the competition fair by having a points cap. I would introduce an additional point to each player of a club that wins the championship and that extra point is deducted at the end of the next season if any of those players are not again in a championship team. That would take care of problems like Brisbane this year because it is stacked with talent. What this system would do is add an additional 12 points to the team after winning the championship which means they more than likely have to let go of 1 or more of their players for the next season. They would be forced to exchange him for a lower point value player. Other less successful teams would then get the opportunity to pick up these players and add some valuable championship winning players to their roster. You would get a better rotation of players amongst various clubs.

The way of caluclating individual's points value should also change. Currently it does not reflect the capability of the player. If you are a player who averages 20 & 10 you have to have a higher point value than one who averages 10 & 5. None of this nonsence about reductions for loyalty to a particular club or whether you've been a Boomer on not. It should be strictly on performance basis.

TR, Spirit (AKA the Adelaide 36ers) won a championship in 2002, looking at that team I don't think they were over the cap.

Are you looking at the wrong area? The Cap exists primarily to prevent clubs from sending themselves to the wall. Surely The player points allocation system exists to keep the comp even. Address the standard disparity through the points system.
However,get some guts NBL. Your out of set with other national pro comps. Audit & fine cap violations. After all, clubs that bust the cap have to have the bucks to pay the fine.

Isaac, in reality they are breaking the cap, maybe not technically. If the spirit of the cap is being ignored & not enforced why have one at all? (because of Newcastle, Gold Coast, Geelong, Hobart, North Melbourne, Victoria and all previous Brian Gorrjian teams)

I couldn't believe it last night when the Commish said he thought Brisbane weren't over the cap.
