When will the New NBL be launched?

"South Dragons did... and thats why I really mourn there loss... they came in and believed they could make a mark... "

they played what 1 season? won the league and then threw their toys out of their cot.
what was so great about a team buying a title that causes you to mourn them after their 1 season of competition?

I like Anon's idea about allowing teams to go over the points cap and taxing teams X amount of dollars per a point over 70.

Might create more of a power imbalance though.

But there are some ideas out there:

-Maybe look at third party payments for Imports and star players. Allow 2 players on each team to receive 50-80k from sponsors for the year. This sponsorship money will be out of the cap - Australia Super Rugby Teams do this

-Give concessions for certain players in relation to the cap. i.e. give a discount of 30% for those returning from Europe after X amount of years or for Veterans. So if someone like Andersen came back, maybe only 60-70% of his actual salary would count towards the cap. Would attract the Newleys, Ingles, Barlows.

It's no panacea, but providing an extra 20% product per game is surely not going to hurt! Getting 20% higher scores may also help with that element out there that sees really low scorelines and thinks "the quality must be terrible".

I don't want to get anyone out of shape but it pisses me off to read how a team can't afford to have another bad season... Basically with an 8 team league, teams with decent rosters will have bad seasons and even my Perth Wildcats can't really afford to have a bad season... They may pack out a mega stadium but what if it doesn't then the club are paying huge money for stadium hire... Let's hope the league is a nail biter and teams survive through to when changes can be implemented and then teams like Townsville and Cairns need stadium upgrades due to support and Melbourne moves back to Hisense arena... But stuff Adelaide, they have an awesome roster again and will cause grief for every team

Breakers have a deal with Nike to provide footwear, would be nice to have them also provide uniforms.

There will be no changes for the 2013-14 season. Even though de-merger talks originally happened in February this year, it was too soon to put in any real changes.

But for the 2014-15 season there will be changes. Look for Brisbane to re-enter in 2014-15 as well.
