Should the NBL have a marquee player fund

The only rules that exist are LK's.

The NBL has no enforced salary cap. A marquee player is a stupid idea.

BA doesn’t have a sugar Daddy like the FFA.

Take away the Lowey money and Australian soccer/football doesn’t really have much financial clout.

You can see why LK is putting his money into the NBL, rather than BA. Now trying to package a tv deal including the Boomers vs USA games with NBA players.

No. The A-League has massive tickets on itself. Its trying to close in on thr AFL and NRL, but its going backwards. For all the media attention and sponsors it has, its really struggling and could drop off more when it needs to renegotiate its TV deal. Id expect them to reign in some of their spending.

If only they had the foresight to see how Ten/One handled the NBL, they wouldnt have made that switch. But no, the NBL isnt really in their sights so they had no idea...
