Will there be imports in the NBL this year?
Imports aren't why i go to games but they def make it a bit better to watch. NZ only had Rickett last year but CJ, Penney, Foreman and the Bear made up for that easily. I'm all for 1 or 2 import spots to liven up the game and lift the quality of basketball.


And Hodge took your money and pissed off early.
Starvin Marvin the A-League havea Marquee player outside the salary cap and its sending most teams broke. SEN reported today all teams posted significant loses last season.


Go watch the ABL if you want to watch Aussies play. The National League is not the place for Non-imports. hell even Netball has international players.

You cant get big name imports with Chook poo money. The only reason Dragons got Smith was because he lost his China gig to Bonzi Wells and had to go somehwere.
As long as we have a small cap and the $AUD is shithouse we wont get goog imports. If you want the marquee player exemption like soccer say goodbye to the league inside 2 seasons. Teams will lose bucket loads and there will be an EVEN bigger gap between the HAVES and the HAVE NOTS that we have already seen previously.

Why do South Australian continually push for 1 import??? No other place in the world plays with 1 import. Imports are there to help the standard of the league whether they are american or from elswhere. Our problem has been of late that the $AUD sucks compared to the rest of the world so no decent player wants to come out for $80,000 US. If our dollar was better we would get better players.
