Dragons rumour has wings, could join 2016/17

Sorry there no invention here at all anonymous. I was talking about the process of applying for a licence not current owners.

Your lack of understanding of the process is abundant however.

Thanks Paul for the info.

Yes I forgot the location bit Paul. I still think the name is part of the deal with the NBL. When applying for a licence they used to look at name, logo, colours etc as part of the assessment process. Or maybe the current NBL don't care any more. ;)

Normally with the NBL (at least under the old NBL) the licence to operate was tied specifically to a name. I doubt that has changed at all. So I would expect that the NBL did have to approve the name change.

Again as many others have said why would United have to rename seeing as the NBL has approved the name change supposedly.

My understanding is they don't have to approve team names, they simply have no control. But I'm pretty sure the earlier post saying Melbourne "have to" become the Tigers again was using the term in the "this is an obvious decision" sense, not a "they will be forced to do this" sense. At least that's the way I read it.

"I personally think that getting the Brisbane Bullets back should be a priority, but they have to ensure that it is financially viable."

It isn't. Some would suggest that's why Neill 'resigned'. The NBL currently will own the club and if it works out to be viable they will on sell it.

The South Dragons brand was amazing.

IMO, the best brand we've ever had. Even better than the Wildcats.

Marvin may have resigned as the chair of CEO.

Dragons already have modern branding and fans plus a championship to work with. If Cowan and co. have the cash and look sustainable they are the obvious option in my opinion.
