Will a Asia-Pac Basketball League sustainable?

Despite the Filipino league being well supported, no player is allowed to be over 6ft 8, isn't that right?

The model is an interesting one conceptually, of course we can contest the structure and conference system all day, however in essence there is merit to this hypothesis.

NZ would struggle to find 3 competitive teams without quality imports
Would be great to see though

In theory this would work but the Asian teams would get pumped. A better start would be for the NBL to arrange its league around the times of the Chinese League and each team should have to recruit one player with an Asian passport (outside of salary cap). The interest in NBL.TV would go through the roof and subsequently make money for the league. I'd say that if for instance the Kings played Adelaide and both teams had a quality Chinese player coming off the bench or starting then millions of Chinese people would pay to tune in on the internet to watch it.

People always say that CBA players get more, therefore wouldn't play in Australia but if they were able to be recruited outside of the cap, most teams would hopefully have connections with a large enough Australia-based business that could pay the majority of this player's contract. Why Perth hasn't lobbied the NBL for this is beyond me. I do however think that a Champions League would be a good idea.
