NBL rejects bid from second Melbourne team

So a Tigers NBL team is no good because it is seen as part of the junior club and the junior rivalrys kick in.

Another NBL team based out of the State Basketball Center would be seen as Knox aligned so we can't have that either.

So not quite sure what everyone is suggesting as the best ownership model for an NBL team(s) in Melbourne ???

Isaac, Blackwell doesn't exactly use the Breakers for financial gain. I don't think he would be too fussed about profit. He is just a major hoops fan.

He actually owns the biggest and busiest supermarket in New Zealand (Pak N Save Albany), so its safe to say hes making a fair bit of coin from that venture as opposed to the Breakers.

I'm pretty sure everything gets spent at Atlas place but that is why they have Sponsors. They have an extensive junior academy which cannot be cheap to run. Thanks also to Melbourne for the Corletto's as Julie has been running netball clinics during school holidays at the Breaker facilities for young kids.

If true regarding sustainability issues: good call BA.

"the BA Board could not ultimately be confident that the club had sufficient financial arrangements in place to ensure its medium to long term sustainability"
