Gaze calls for relegation/promotion in NBL

It's such a bummer that we have to have a TV deal with a network that's floundering, and is struggling to find a niche that makes money for them.

If we're not making money for them, then they can't afford to carry us; they'll stick us in a dark corner and go looking elsewhere, even if it's just repeats of 'I Love Lucy'.

Maybe we need to help them come up with some sort of alternative basketball-related ideas, eg Basketball Superstar, or a drama series based on the politics within a basketball club (not necessarily looking at Adelaide or Melbourne in particular LOL).

It's a better idea than most fans saying "just get rid of the salary cap and bring back Australia's best players".

At least he's thinking (somewhat) outside of the box.

If Carfino and his cheerleaders back Gazey let's book it.

This is a "Gazey" idea.

The game relies on sponsors to support the cash positions of companies. How can clubs attract them if they don't get the exposure?

I would prefer to see a competition running concurrently (like the SANFL/WAFL/VFL) that supports the main competition (like the AFL). That way there can be more interest in the sport. Club could sign up say 8 players, but then select from teams underneath them. E.g. Will the Sixers pick Jones this week after getting 20 for Forestville? Why hasn't Smith been given a go after his triple double?

The NBL need strong clubs competing not clubs worried about how they can pay the bills
