Will the Hawks or Taipans win a title in next 10 years?

Absolutely, I love the mentality of the Hawks this season of getting players with chips on their shoulder (much better than Adelaide's everyone is against us mentality) and I have a really good feeling about them but they still feel one stud away from being truly convincing.

Cairns I think missed their chance with the previous grand final appearances but for them to get a championship I think they need to gamble on getting locals straight from college (think Cam Gliddon and how Taipans take risks but a club like Perth don't take the risk). If they can get some diamond quality locals that other clubs have overlooked and some clutch imports then I like their chances of a title too but I'm not as positive about them as I am Illawarra

If any team is making up the numbers it is Sydney Kings and the salary cap numbers

No Cairns Taipans are not making up numbers.

Mark Beecroft is on record saying the NBL isn't outgrowing the Taipans and that the team can go toe to toe with any team in the NBL.

This is the non-paywall version.

If Mark Beecroft believes he the Taipans can go toe to toe wth Melbourne United I too am a believer.

They can just as easily.

$ doesn't always equal better imports/locals.

But as inferred above they'd need more luck than other teams insofar as finding diamonds in the rough imports-wise.

Is this the new 'Can the <insert NBL team here> beat the 1988 Geelong Supercats'?
