NBL releases 2010/11 points rankings
Aw - and I'd put a lot of credit on the even comp to the cap rather than points rankings and that Boti Nagy thinks it's time to upgrade on Chuck and Schensh should be 8 and the like (in todays paper)

i think some thought in the ole NBL that some teams may have been a little over the $800,000 cap.
I'd doubt with BA newNBL auditing top 4 teams vide Tax office and the like that anyone would be over $1M, these days.

The Adelaide 36ers were told that the top 4 teams would be fully audited and lose $1M guarantee and spot on the ladder.
So we ain't EVER gonna cheat the salary cap.
We spent $965,000 on players salary.
You have to leave a little bit, in case of roster change.

paul, is it a fact that teams lose their guarantee if caught cheating the salary cap? I have not heard this. If the NBL say its difficult to police the salary cap, then it would be just as difficult to prove a team to be cheating the salary cap. You would want to be absolutely correct and without a doubt that a team was cheating to take their guarantee away.

Assuming the salary cap is adhered to strictly
... is to assume something that isn't true. There's no way for the NBL to effectively police the salary cap.

DJ Rod, you're not a Homicide fan? I would have thought any Crocs fan would lock him in without a second thought!

James, I agree. I think the salary cap covers any imbalance of player quality in a team. You are not going to get 10 players rated 10 points each going into one team because the salary cap would not be enough to cover what they are worth. Assuming the salary cap is adhered to strictly, then you don't need a points system. Having said that, guess who is not going to get a job next season with a rating of 8 points?

As I mentioned above about Ryan - MEL and ADL had some injuries, last season and looked at Ryan, who was training with MEL, but he wanted some obscene amount of money.
So MEL got Rose and our injuries were not long term.

Ryan was a little confused about an NBL salary cap of $A1M - thinking he'd get all of that himself.
