"Basketball isn't their main thing"

Why be the leaders on the new board then?

Because they probably either own companies or are senior employees... their high levels of income & experience probably give them skills that are transferable to a board position.

Is basketball Mark Cuban's main thing? As far as passions go... probably yes. Main money earner? Probably no. At least it wasn't last time I checked in.

I'd be ill at ease with a demerger not complete
and a Ten contract doing a Damocles

I would suggest they've gone overseas because bball isn't their main thing. Either they're on a business trip (which keeps bball ticking over) or they've had holidays booked for months.

I agree Paul's statement "when, not if". Kinda sad. I thought it was great when they merged, as it had huge potential to have a more seemless progression for players to go from Juniors to SEABL/College to NBL to Europe/NBA to Boomers (or some variation).

As a Bullets fan, it was always disappointing that there was seemingly little connectedness between the (corporate) Bullets & what was going on in local basketball. As one dad of a promising junior said "why would my son go to a bullets game when there's no-one from his club or local tournaments even sitting on the end of a Bullets bench and little chance to play for them." Well, that's my rant.
