Is what they decided on.
8 teams is their prefered option, and , Sydney Kings have to be in for a FOX deal worth $35M .
Blaze will be in , 36ers , 2 melbourne, 1 NZ, Perth,

Looks like might be a ten team league , then.

(AIS U23s interested , but would they be competetive)

I am of the opinion that we really need to get our own house in order before we try to tap into any other markets. I think one town - one team should be the philosophy. Even the NBA struggles with two team towns. This way we also force the talent across the league. More teams with more talent equals better product. I also think the salary cap needs BIG teeth. It is rather obvious that some teams have a healthy disregard for any restrictions. Drop the points system and make the cap purely financial with real audits done by real auditors with real penalties for infringements. With a real salary cap the points system is superfluous. I also think that we need to carry our history forward into the new league. We need to make what has gone before really relevant to the future. Team rivalries, stats and stars of the past need to be talked about and compared to the teams and players of today. Team names should be retained. It would be great to see foundation teams (or as close as possible) like the Bullets and the Kings return. I love to hate the Kings...
