Working holiday visa with maybe a free rent or low price board agreement in place. If you want a good name, throw in some work they can do in between basketball. Something easy or pays very well. That way the player leaves happy and the agents tend to look after you.

Free players are free for a reason. However Australian league is good for the resume for a paid position in Asia or the U.K.

No, not 30k, many of them are on working holiday visa with no minimum wage per game. The get recruited from the thousands of agencies around the world and one or two adelaide people who have contact with American players/agents. Not much money to be made though. More for the love of the game.

Simply a general hypothetical question and interested with the influx of imports into premier league, where do they get recruited from. A big variation of talent so just asking what the procedure is, nothing covert, if you not can you just provide an answer instead of the cloak and dagger.
For example lets just say I'm a new premier league coach looking for a good guard and wing player, where do I go?

Not one company, many. You're not making it clear as to why your asking. If you're a prospective coach, just ask.

NBL.com is claiming that last season was the most successful season in over a decade with average attendances increase by 12%, TV viewership and on-line traffic experience massive growth and four major new corporate partnerships for the league in what was a banner year.

If this is all true then its great news for the NBL. FTA TV coverage certainly would’ve helped there’s no doubt about that. However I’m always skeptical when I hear something like this, especially due to the Rick Burton years when he claimed everything was peachy and gong onwards and upwards when he wasn’t doing jack and the NBL was going nowhere.

Hopefully this is all true and the league really is finally, and legitimately, on the rise again.
