It sounds like they are floating an idea to have like the English Premier league has the FA Cup, the NBL can have a separate cup to play for and maybe name it after another Hall of Fame legend.
But I do hope that Sydney go to Canberra, Wollongong to Newcastle, Melbourne to Geelong/ Bendigo, New Zealand to Wellington, Adelaide to Hobart/Launceston, Townsville to Darwin, Cairns to Gold Coast/Brisbane and Perth to Port Hedland/Broome.
If that is the case then the NBL with enough advertising could get a scope on how much desire there is to have teams in those regions.
However it plays out and no matter what they are playing for, I'm already a tremendous supporter of this and hopefully it results in beloved former clubs being given a new chance to shine (especially a Tasmanian club)
