QLD government 'balks' at Bullets lifeline
Isaac while I agree with your point on the Kings gradually working towards a title with player development, comparing this with the Blaze player situation was a bit of a low blow. Bit hard to start a new team without players coming from somewhere else.
The point Claxton is trying to make (as I see it) is something that's come up many times within this site. Some teams are paying their players more than what they're worth, and/or more than what the team can afford.
If the NBL is serious about a salary cap, why doesn't it do more to enforce it. Once again going by the many blogs on this issue within this site, it would appear there have to be some clubs in breach of this.
It still escapes me why we still have salary cap issues in Australian professional sport. If it took a few auditors just one weekend to go through the books of an NRL club and declare a salary cap breach (Bulldogs, August 2002), why can't NRL, AFL and NBL adminstrators request each of their respective member clubs to undergo something similar.
Are they worried of widespread breaches or is it perhaps having to enforce the prescribed penalties.
